Some theories suggest that gravitational capture is the origin of Neptune's major moon Triton, the moons of Mars, and Saturn's moon Phoebe. Some scientists have put forward extended atmospheres around young planets as a mechanism for slowing the movement of a passing objects to aid in capture. The hypothesis has been p... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-satellite_disk |
A morphological or physiological change in a plant due to a signal or cue from its environment constitutes behavior in plants, and plants connected by a mycorrhizal network have the ability to alter their behavior based on the signals or cues they receive from other plants. These signals or cues can be biochemical, ele... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhizal_networks |
In sociology, intragroup conflict (or infighting) refers to conflict between two or more members of the same group or team. In recent years, intragroup conflict has received a large amount of attention in conflict and group dynamics literature. This increase in interest in studying intragroup conflict may be a natural ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intragroup_conflict |
Eukaryotes typically have multiple origins of replication; at least one per chromosome. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) is the only known eukaryote with a defined initiation sequence TTTTTATG/ATTTA/T. This initiation sequence is recognized by ORC1-5. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-replication_complex |
The production model Mark 24 nuclear bomb was 61.4 by 296 inches (1.56 by 7.52 m) long, with a weight between 41,000 and 42,000 pounds (18,600 and 19,100 kg). It was in service between 1954 and 1956, with a total of 105 units produced. The Mark 24 included a 64-foot-diameter (20 m) parachute to slow its descent. The bo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_24_nuclear_bomb |

For example: 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14. The theory of odd and even numbers was central to Pythagorean arithmetic. This distinction was for the Pythagorean philosophers direct and visual, as they arranged triangular dots so that the even and odd numbers successively alternate: 2, 4, 6, ... 3, 5, 7, ...Early-Pythagorean ph... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_mathematics |
Two models for brain tissue development are cerebral organoids and corticopoiesis. These models provide an "in vitro" model for normal brain development, but they can be manipulated to represent neural defects. Therefore, the mechanisms behind healthy and malfunctioning development can be studied by researchers using t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_tissue_engineering |
Researchers are attempting to determine which missing genes may contribute to 1q21.1 deletions' specific characteristics. Because some people with a 1q21.1 microdeletion have no clear associated traits, it is hypothesized that additional genetic and environmental factors influence the development of symptoms.Due to thi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1q21.1_deletion_syndrome |
