This link shows a fox that became friends with a cat: http://dailypicksandflicks.com/2012/11/25/cat-and-fox-are-best-friends-video-photos/ Can anyone identify the species the fox is? (the cat is a van cat) This happens in Lake Van so it must be a Turkish species of fox

What does myxoid change mean and how does it look like in microscope. I searched but I can't understand it. They say it is a mucoid change but I don't get it. Thanks

do eukayotic organisms made restriction enzyme ???

Hey all, im just a normal everyday guy with a idea. Im not sure if there has ben any reasurch done for this. But i know there is work on taking brain waves and useing the data to move objects or tell what words they are thinking. My idea is to do the opposite. How headphones plays a song out of the earpeice, have a connection to the brain to hear music without actually hearing with the ear. Or see a computer screen directly from your eyes without there being anything there. To roughly put it, hotwire the brains preceptions. It would be cool to connect a cpu directly into yourself rather than a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and speakers. Or connect netflix …

Hi, I've set up a crowd-funding page for one of my projects here: [link removed] what do people think about this approach for raising money for small science projects?

Why is 3 quarters of the worlds population genetically coded Opositives (inas blood group wise)??

What was probably the typical age a woman would conceive for the first time in prehistoric times before contraception etc? I know there would have been some variations between tribes living in different areas, but I'm only after a likely average.

Hai friends How can we detect the strain in our eyes.... WHAT ALL CHANGES CAN BE SEEN IN OUR EYES WHEN WE TAKE MORE STRAIN...??? TELL ME AS MUCH POINTS U CAN... PLZ...

if you imagine a human being that is born without all 5 senses. It can not feel/touch, smell, taste, hear, see. let us say that one sense is given back on this person, for instance: touch. Can it learn, with that sense alone, how to communicate at all? Are babies susceptible to language impulses by parents? my question is: is language innate or merely taught? I myself think of how many people are horny daily, and how many people speak. It is almost equal in amount. so I dare to say language is not something one learns by way of parenthood. It can, at best, be improved by parenthood but even that is given to genetic ability. And does it…

i know that bacteria have been engineered to produce spider silk but could the same be done for silkworm silk and other animal textiles such as wool. Ps im aware that algea can make paper and cotton substitutes thus meaning plant textiles are not a problem

Title is pretty self explanatory, by life I mean an organism that can reproduce itself. Given the right conditions aswell I'm not sure of the specifics but I guess warm pool/minerals available whatever needs be lol

Most people would say they feel a release of pressure and pain when they crack their back, fingers, or other joints. I however, feel a more euphoric feeling that can be compared to the feeling of being on a good drug. I asked a bunch of people and tried to do more research on why this happens and I could not find anything. I understand that bubbles of air are released from the synovial membranes and can cause a rush of good feeling due to the release of pressure and pain. I don't see that as being the answer as to why some people, including myself feel a more intense drug-like sensation. I have also heard that a history of drug abuse in the past can have som…

I think if you want to get only a little pedantic, then if you'v ever eaten corn it's GM corn. The question is how the genetic manipulation has been done. Corn (as well as other crops and, of course, animals) has been selectively bred for thousands of years; corn has stark differences with the wild maize that it is descended from. I wonder how many people realize that the sole purpose is to modify the genes, even if the practitioners didn't realize this. I do realize that GM is usually meant as a different sort of modification

Hi Guys I'm new here. I was wondering if anyone can help me out by sending me their recipe for a home made FACS Lysis solution. I would like to lyse the Red Blood cells form a peripheral blood sample, while keeping the white blood cells in tact for later analysis by FACS. I know about the NH4Cl, KHCO3, EDTA solution but I am trying to find the BD FACS lysis buffer components. All help is much appreciated! Nala

I'm just putting this in a different thread so that we don't hijack the original. So, This is an offshoot of a discussion in the "Cultivate salt water crops", in which the statement was made that, Another poster commented that the U.S. is a net exporter, and thus does not really need food imports from other countries to sustain their populations. This was countered with The question of whether or not we can sustain or grow agricultural production in a post-oil/post-fertilizer economy is a useful question. I personally think that a transition to ecological agriculture will allow us to maintain production, but it would require a larger amount of people …

I read a study stating that some of this combined were morepotent than when used alone. I went toschool for health and human performance so my biochem is not very deep. My understanding was that all of thesecompeted for the same receptors. How canthey be more potent if that is true. Maybe I just don’t get it.

Does anyone know how to identify the colonies of bacteria in this picture qualitatively? I trapped the bacteria in a milipore filter from my home source of water and incubated them in a TSA plate. I'm trying to find out if it is anything to worry about, since water is only tested for E. coli and nothing else.

Read this first. Now, what are your thoughts on such a thing?

I had an exam a couple days ago asking for maximum number of electrons in the third shell of an atom. The correct answer was 8, but I keep seeing all over the internet that it's 18. I also saw on the internet that elements like uranium and radon have 18 electrons in their third shells. Our textbook, however, does say that the max is 8. I asked my professor about it and he basically just looked at me like I was crazy and was really adamant about it being 8. Please help. I feel really confused at this point...

Hi Guys, I have chosen a topic to do some research and to take Part in Intel ISEF 2013 or 2014 and want to ask that Is this Topic is right in your views? The Topic is- Dengue fever (I want to do some research on this topic because there is no medicine developed to cure it and no any accurate test is made to get perfect results about it and I want to discover something about this fever.) 1. Do you like this topic to do research and take part in INTEL ISEF 2013 or 2014 after researching on this topic? 2. Is it good from your point of Views? 3. Will Intel allow to submit project of this type or Is there any limitation on it ? 4. Can I do Resea…

Dear all, I am a mechanical engineering student conducting research in developing new numerical model for green roof. A relatively unknown domain for me is plant physiology. I am looking for an expression that give rate of water transport through soil, plant and to atmosphere that may include, among others, soil water potential, air vapour pressure, etc. Can anyone in this forum give me a link to these areas? Thank you for your help Aloysius Decruz PhD Candidate University of Nottingham Ningbo China

Hi all. Never seen such before yesterday. It is soft, rubbery, wet looks, bright orange, white base, black top. Today it has its point bent down, but still there. There is no more around, nor parts of it as if it was missing something. What is it ??? ----> http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss323/Innernet/P1000982.jpg Other pictures ----> http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss323/Innernet/P1000983.jpg ----> http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss323/Innernet/P1000984.jpg

Hi, I am working with the good old PMSF inhibitor, that is supposed to inhibit a broad spectrum of serine proteases. But how broad is this spectrum? I am wondering how different its inhibition is to different proteases. Can one tell me if it inhibits plasmin (sounds trivial that it should so, but I could not explicitly find it) and if so with which Ki value? Any good source for PMSF Ki values for different proteases? Many thanks, Csiszi

Dear I am a student and I need to do comet assay ( that is frist time for me) and I will go to prepared buffers but I need good protocol to follow with all details not just brief . Because I was a way for chemistry such a long time ago so I want everything explane in details plz Thanks
