Je reporte
Excusez-moi mais…
Bon j’ai pas trouver sur le net et en même je sais pas chercher ça m’énerve vous pouvez pas savoir
Mais c’est pas la question
Comme certains le savent je suis passionnée par tous les trucs du style permaculture mais surtout l’aquaponie
Et je me posais cette question après un reportage à la télé
Les plantes ont besoin de lumière et on est capable aujourd’hui de contrôler cette lumière
Bleu en pleine nuit jaune en journée ou rouge en soirée
Je trouve ça très intéressant
Mais dans le cadre d’aquaponie si la lumière est importante pour les plantes elle est gênante pour l’eau et les poissons tous les aquariophiles le savent
Je me demandais si on ne pouvait pas par exemple installer des lumières au dessus des bassins des poissons mais d’une couleur spécifique qui serait favorable aux poissons sans pour autant laisser se développer des algues qui peuvent s’averer toxique dans certains cas
Voilà ce que je cherche sur le net
Si quelqu’un a des infos ou un axe de réflexion je prend et je le remercie
L’autre truc que je recherche parce que ça m’interresse ce sont les BIOPILES
Ou en est on ?
J’ai regardé mais je tombe toujours sur les mêmes articles
Par exemple je sais qu’en Inde il devait y avoir des travaux intéressant mais rien de neuf depuis 3/4 ans
On cherche plus ?
Perso je sais que le meilleur truc c’est de passer par la bactérie Escherichia coli mais bon quand on sait ce qu’il faut faire pour la récupérer … non merci beurk
Je cherche donc une solution

All n all. I spent around 5 days chasing this bug through my code. I generated Gigabytes of log files and had to get down to the precision of 7.5 grains of sand on the planet Earth. The compiler missing a key function call turned out to be the cause of the issue. Many times, while trying to find the root cause I found myself questioning my ability to write code, diagnose bugs and remain sane. I’m glad I found an answer and have a way forward.#programming #science compiler

Breakthrough drug might cure COVID-19 in just five days | BGR
Researchers from Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Medical Center developed a coronavirus therapy that was found to cure COVID-19 in 3-5 days in most volunteers who received the drug.#science #medicine #health #Covid-19 #CoronaVirus #pandemic
EXO-CD24 is a medication delivered directly to the lungs, where it’ll help prevent the immune system dealing with COVID-19 from overreacting and causing complications.
The drug is administered once a day for five minutes via inhalation. In Phase 1 trials, 29 out of 30 people suffering from moderate to severe COVID-19 recovered within 3-5 days, and all of them survived.

The role and rule of relatedness in altruism
The evolution of altruism
Inclusive fitness theory shows that social partners must be related for altruism to evolve, yet some models suggest that relatedness is not needed. An analysis concludes that assumptions in those models build in a role for relatedness, after all.

‘Immunological unicorn’: the Australian lab growing coronavirus – and its startling discovery | Sydney | The Guardian
Most people who have Covid-19 develop a decent immune response.#science #medicine #health #Covid-19 #CoronaVirus #pandemic
“But this guy’s response is 100 to 1,000-fold that,” Turville said.
“His response is that good. To put it in context, we are eight or nine months out since he was infected. And he still ranks in the top 1% of responders, so what that means is if we could ever bottle a vaccine that could mimic his response, you’d want to do it. I would say that we’re going to see him responding just as well probably a year out, and maybe after about two years we might start to see some response decay.”‘Immunological unicorn’: the Australian lab growing coronavirus – and its startling discovery

Flower power! The movement to bring back Britain's beautiful meadows | Biodiversity | The Guardian
More than 97% of meadows have been destroyed, but the fight is now on to restore them. They are essential for plants and insects – but is it wise to lose food-producing fields?#science #environment #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateBreakdown #CarbonFootprint
Meadows excel at storing carbon; grasslands in Britain store more carbon than any other habitat. “What’s really exciting is that the biggest levels of carbon sequestration happen when you convert an arable field into a species-rich pasture,” says Dines. Once established, a meadow is a stable store of carbon; plough it up, and the carbon is released.Flower power! The movement to bring back Britain's beautiful meadows
