Gamma 2 Quotes

But then they pushed the sensor of the radiometer upstairs, into the space directly above where they stood. There, in compartment 217/2 on mark +6, it encountered a gamma field so hot that the instrument reached its maximum reading and then—its mechanism overwhelmed—burned out. Whatever lay inside was stupendously radioactive and represented a possible clue to the location of the hundreds of tonnes of lost fuel. Yet anyone entering the blackness of corridor 217/2 to find out what it was risked absorbing a lethal dose of gamma radiation in minutes, or seconds.

All we really know of the universe is what filters in through our senses, and that isn’t a whole lot. Take the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes virtually every ripple of energy that powers the cosmos, from the long, lazy radio waves we communicate with through microwaves that we cook with all the way up to X-rays and gamma rays, which pack enough punch into their wavelengths to outshine an entire galaxy. All that majesty, all that infinite variety of energy, and all we see is a narrow little slice of it: seven measly colors. It’s like being invited to a royal banquet and then only being allowed to pick the crumbs off one plate.

ar rezuma fără rest l a un flux continuu de senzaţii şi nici o cunoaştere bazată pe concept, pe regulă, pe cauzalitate nu a r fi c u putinţă. Pentru c a s ă s e poată explica existenţa ştiinţei, p entru ca o înţelegere raţională a lumi i s ă fie l e g i t imă - crede Aristotel, pr in urmare -, pentru c a nu orice opinie şi orice închipuire s ă fie la fel de valabile ş i de egal îndreptăţite la numele de "adevăr", trebuie să existe Fiinţă. Numai că aici apar două probleme: 1) Cum se poate demon­ stra existenţa Fiinţei ? 2 ) Ş i unde anume, în cuprinsul realităţii, se regăseşte efectiv F i i nţ a ? Există Fiinţă ? Aristotel ştie însă că nu poate demonstra ca atare existenţa Fiinţei. Totuşi, el crede că poate respinge eficient afirmaţiile celor care îi contestă existenţa. Mai întâi, el presupune, în Cartea Gamma - ceea ce nu este deloc absolut evident, dar era aproape o evidenţă p e ntru filozofia antică -, c ă realitatea interioară, a reprezentărilor mentale, corespunde structural realităţii exte­ rioare, "obi e c t ive " . Cu a l t e cuvinte, dacă lumea e s t e de tip heraclitic, în curgere continuă, lipsită de orice constanţă - adică lipsită de Fiinţă -, şi lumea mentală va fi l a fel de inconstantă, contradictorie, trăsătură proprie - zice Aristotel - viziunii relativiste şi iraţio­ naliste a lui Protagoras. Acesta suprimase distincţia dintre apa­ renţă şi esenţă, dintre intrinsec ş i contextual, sau, de fapt, redusese totul la aparenţă şi la relaţie (în chipul postmodernilor de azi), exact l a fel după cum anumiţi filozofi ai na tur i i e l iminaseră r epausul ş i s t abi l i t atea, păstrând numa i m i ş carea. Rezultatul ar fi că nu s - a r mai putea face, în mod consistent, afirmaţii adevărate sau false despre un anumit lucru : falsul s-ar metamorfoza îndată în adevăr, adevărul ar deveni fals, în funcţie de perspectivă şi de dorinţa celui care j u d ecă : celebra sentinţă a lui Protagoras : "omul este măsura tuturor luc ru r i l o r " , este interpretată de Aristotel ( c a şi de Platon) în cheie pur relati­ vistă: adevărul ş i falsul se pot afirma concomitent despre acelaşi

There are several isoforms of globin proteins in hemoglobin. The most common isoforms are designated alpha (a), beta (b), gamma (g), and delta (d), depending on the structure of the chain. Most adult hemoglobin (designated HbA) has two alpha chains and two beta chains, as shown. However, a small portion of adult hemoglobin (about 2.5%) has two alpha chains and two delta chains (HbA2 ).

urge to protect is incredibly strong in us, Lock sent. When danger threatens a female we have claimed as our own, it induces a state of altered consciousness. Have you ever heard the term “berserker rage?” asked Deep. My God! Kat couldn’t stop staring at Sylvan. Shirtless as he was with his broad shoulders hunched and ready to attack, he looked like a mountain of muscle—a mountain of very lethal muscle. What is he going to do? she couldn’t help asking. Whatever he has to in order to keep Sophia safe. Deep’s mental voice was grim. It’s like we told you, Kat—he’ll die protecting her if necessary. But he’s not going down without a fight. No, I guess not, Kat murmured. Uh, do all of you—all Kindred—get that way when someone you’re protecting is threatened? Actually, it’s rare to see such an extreme response unless it’s our mate who is in danger, Lock said. But yes, the protective rage is part of the Kindred biological makeup. It can turn any warrior into a killing machine—inciting us to violence like nothing else. Kat couldn’t stop the feeling of unease that settled over her at his words. So all of you have this…this other person inside you? Like the incredible Hulk or something? The incredible who? Deep asked. This guy—he got shot up with too much gamma radiation so he turns huge and green and angry whenever someone pisses him off and…Kat shook her head. Never mind. It’s a pop culture thing. You wouldn’t understand. Actually, I’d say that pretty much sums us up. Lock sounded thoughtful. Aside from the turning green part, anyway, Deep said dryly. Threaten our chosen female and prepare to die. It’s a lesson many have learned the hard way. I bet. Kat shivered. You should be glad to see Sylvan’s response, Lock said gently. Obviously he cares for your friend—cares deeply—if the rage has come over him. He will protect her or die trying. And a Kindred warrior is not easy to kill, Deep added. Especially one in the grip of the rage. Kat

Sometimes, she knew, the only difference between poor judgment and a calculated risk was the outcome. In Shar’s case, the jury was still out. But she couldn’t ignore what he’d learned through his actions.

Brad got up and locked himself in the bathroom, surreptitiously carrying the hairbrush with the perfect handle. How was he going to explain the need to brush his hair at 2:38 a.m.?

Trevor was all over him, like a genie had granted Trevor three wishes and all of them were Paul.

No matter the planet of origin, parentage, past misdeeds or present challenges-we have to assume that our success or failures come by every individual's choice.

Report published : #Globalization of #disease has led the world to be only as resilient as the least resilient country and person , especially for highly contagious COVID-19 which has spread with scale and severity not seen since #Spanishflu . The variants of the virus (such as B.1.617.2 Delta , #DeltaPlus, Epsilon, #Gamma ) continue to threaten even those vaccinated. Secondary diseases such as black fungus are targeting #COVID patients and killing almost one in two persons in such cases. Human life is more precious and important than all economic principles or systems in totality because all these concepts are legitimate only because of their utility value which is to fundamentally make human life better. At least until this ongoing crisis ends, all economic policies (related to money, banking, fixing prices of commodities, etc.) need to be revised to make sure no human being suffers from hunger or the absence of required medical care. For this purpose KAILASA has presented a detailed report on effective solution for

Monitoring and Supporting Hashimoto’s ​• ​After Hashimoto’s is assessed with a positive TPO and/or TGB serum antibody test, establish TH-1 or TH-2 dominance with an immunological serum test. Look at the percentage values, not the total. ​• ​A TH-1 serum profile includes interferon, IL-2, IL-12, interferon-gamma, and TNF alpha. ​• ​A TH-2 serum profile includes IL-4, IL-13 and IL-10. ​• ​If the TH-1 cytokines are high, then modulate the autoimmune condition by supporting the TH-2 pathway with TH-2 stimulators. ​• ​If the TH-2 cytokines are high, then support the TH-1 pathway with TH-1 stimulators. ​• ​A CD4/CD8 (T-suppressor cell/T-helper cell) ratio of 2 or higher is an indication that an active antigen is driving the autoimmune response. This test is also a baseline from which to monitor overall progress. ​• ​If an active antigen or hapten is at work, then stimulate the dominant TH pathway to eradicate the antigen or drive it into remission. ​• ​If both TH-1 and TH-2 stimulators make you feel worse, a hapten may be driving the autoimmune condition. In that case, restore the immune barriers. ​• ​In all instances, modulate immune T-helper cell response with therapeutic doses of emulsified vitamin D plus cofactors, fish oil, and liposomal glutathione and superoxide dismutase cream. Have a licensed healthcare practitioner qualified to work with vitamin D therapy prescribe the appropriate dose. ​• ​Add in nutritional compounds individually every three days to monitor response. ​• ​Remove gluten and possibly dairy from the diet and support other systems, organs, and functions in the body.  (Managing blood sugar, digestive function, and adrenal health using functional medicine principles is explained in later chapters.) ​• ​Monitor whether support is effective with follow-up TSH, CD4/CD8, and TH-1 and TH-2 cytokine tests.

These direct internuncial circuits in the spinal cord and this brainstem-directed gamma motor system create an astonishing condition in the numerous and elaborate sensory feedback loops of the spindles and the Golgis: We are consciously aware of almost none of their constant activities. Signals transmitted to the central nervous system from these two receptors operate entirely at a subconsious level, causing no sensory perception at all. Instead, they transmit tremendous amounts of information from the muscles and the tendons to 1) the motor control systems in the spinal cord [and the brain stem], and 2) the motor control systems of the cerebellum.
