Surely it can't be easy to design a reliable system for storing, firing and reloading the nets?
How about designing an extra sticky type of silly string? It could be prayed on the crows until they are unable to fly. All in the form of an aerosol can.
Like others have said, it takes time for B12 to be produced in significant quantities, and by that time it has passed the small intestine where it can be absorbed.
> It's not toxic, and simple to test on yourself, and you've probably already got a bottle of lemon juice in the refrigerator.
Lemon juice contains a vast array of different chemicals, some of which may be phototoxic. It also releases VOCs (e.g. terpenes). I don't know how much compared to your average deodorant, though.
It's really nice to see startups working on industrial processes here
AFAIK the main problem with enzymes as catalysts beyond the bench scale is their limited lifetime. How is the half-life of your enzymes at operating conditions? I'm just curious how the process works in real life (so are probably your potential customers).
haha yes, we do hear recurring revenue here. Enzymes are indeed fragile relative to metals and have limited lifetimes. However, even metals like palladium leach, sinter, get poisoned, etc. In the current process, many facilities have to continually regenerate their palladium catalysts. The beauty of working with enzymes in the here and now is that we have the tools to continuously optimize them and continuously make them cheaper. We are improving our enzyme lifetimes with each new batch, and we envision being able to release new and improved enzymes to our customers every year
That doesn't answer the question. Even if you're still tweaking things today, what do you expect the useful lifetime of a batch of your enzymes to be, say, a year from now?
more than a month. Best to think of it in terms of H2O2 turnovers per enzyme. Imagine if we made a new enzyme that had 10x faster turnovers but a 5x lower lifetime. Assuming we could still keep up with its oxygen demands, that is a better enzyme despite a lower lifetime.
When murdering someone or cheating on your partner, you probably have a lot more time to second-guess your motives. When subconsciously judging a passer-by, you don't. In my case at least, they are long gone before I even realise that I've judged someone.
Who has claimed that net neutrality is about allowing ISPs to censor and filter?
Regarding the ACA, affordable and expensive aren't necessarily opposites. You could make something more expensive (but still affordable) for those who are well off, but more affordable for those who are poor, and claim a net increase in "affordableness". Anyway, the PATRIOT act seem like a slightly better example of a disingenuous name for a bill IMO.
It makes no difference if the water is naturally carbonated or not. Carbonation is caused by dissolved CO2 (in equilibrium with other carbonates) and there is no way for you body to distinguish between "natural" and "unnatural" CO2.
Doctor here: very rarely does any prescribe anything more than 325mg daily. Most people get 81mg daily. 325mg is considered high dose.
You are correct that it can be written for more, but the only indication you would prescribe a higher dose is as a pain or fever reducer, and we have more effective NSAIDs for that. Or tylenol (?NSAID).
I've personally never seen it given more than 325mg daily.
In the United States, 325mg is the amount in a single standard OTC pill. People often take two pills because of the old doctor's adage, "take two aspirin and call me in the morning".
81mg is marketed as low-dose (aka "baby aspirin"--because of the size or dose, not because it's intended for babies) and often prescribed as prophylaxis. But that's not particularly relevant wrt the maximum safe short-term dosage. The worst part of a flu usually only lasts a few days.
Here are the label directions from a bottle of generic aspirin as shown on Amazon (GoodSense Aspirin Pain Reliever 325 mg Coated Tablets, 100 Count).
Drink a full glass of water with each dose. Adults and
children 12 years and over: take 1 or 2 tablets every 4
hours or 3 tablets every 6 hours, not to exceed 12 tablets
in 24 hours. Children under 12 years: consult a doctor.
So what we have learned here is that whilst many years ago 8-30+ g daily dosage was either routine or at least proscribed in some cases, the routine upper limit is now much reduced because the side effects of taking Salicylate in such huge doses are worse than the symptoms or conditions that it was prescribed for.
However, it may be possible that the stuff might (in huge doses) cure or at least reduce something even worse than its own side effects. Then you are in the realms of a simple risk assessment where the failure mode is pretty horrid but that has to be weighed up against the alternatives if they even exist - all of which ... well you get the idea.
The labels on over-the-counter, "adult low dose" aspirin recommend taking up to 48 81mg aspirin tablets (3.9g) per 24 hour period before checking with a doctor to see if that is okay. I was taking up to 1g per day at one point (for pain), thinking that it was a very low dose because of the labels. :/
> Mooney was told his crane didn’t have to go through the long approval process required for newly designed large cranes and that it could be approved as a mobile crane.
There has to be some kind of miscommunication going on here. By what definition is his crane mobile? Because it's easier to disassemble and load on to a truck than a tower crane? While the DoB's classifications for cranes seems arbitrary, I can't say I blame them for not considering it mobile.
