The article is light on details, but the peer-reviewed article gives this information:
A new FDA-approved treatment involving electric fields alternating at 200 kHz called Optune therapy is now available for recurrent GBM as monotherapy and in combination with temozolomide for newly diagnosed GBM (3, 4). It is also being tested in clinical trials for other cancers. Its hypothesized mechanism of action involves disruption of tubulin dimers, mitotic spindles, and cell division by electric field-induced dipole alignment and dielectrophoresis (5). It has a modest effect on survival, increasing median overall survival by 0.6 month in recurrent GBM (3), and in newly diagnosed GBM by 31% (4). Even this modest effect is encouraging for patients.
It has been shown that electromagnetic fields (EMF) produce anticancer effects in vitro (6, 7). We have conducted preclinical experiments with a new noninvasive wearable device known as an Oncomagnetic device that generates oscillating magnetic fields (OMF) by rotating strong permanent magnets (8, 9). The OMF generating components (oncoscillators) of the device can be attached to a helmet and treatment with the device does not require shaving the head. Using the oncoscillators of the device and specially devised patterns of magnet rotations we have produced strong selective anticancer effects in patient derived GBM and xenografted mouse models without causing adverse effects on cultured normal cells and normal mice (10–12). The mechanism of action of OMF differs from Optune and involves disruption of the electron transport in the mitochondrial respiratory chain causing elevation of reactive oxygen species and caspase-dependent cancer cell death (10–12).
This will be a non-issue soon, as fully autonomous vehicles really are on the verge of going live, and drivers won't be needed at all. Lyft is even partnering pilot programs with AV companies.
Are they also compensating for the huge amount of these elements blasted in to the environment by cold war era ground level nuclear test explosions?
This is actually a very compelling feature, as there are many devices with Bluetooth connectivity that can only be accessed via a mobile app, as the manufacturers won't release APIs or PC apps. OBD adapters for vehicle diagnosis are a big one.
So, what happens to the credits if a wildfire sweeps through and releases all the stored carbon? Are they then lost until the trees regrow?
I am so glad that I deleted my account there and removed the app from my devices. Let the site devolve into an echo chamber of like minded people for all I care.
New York City and State have a history of bringing these kind of suits in attempts to create law that no legislature will enact. This behavior screams for a reform where the lawyers who bring these cases must be held personally liable for their targets legal fees, with zero indemnity from the public. Trust me, they will stop in a New York nanosecond if that were the case.
A white dwarf consists of matter supported by electron degeneracy pressure, and the critical mass for any Uranium would be quite small as all nuclei are already pushed into contact. The energy released would be de-minimums compared to the environment.
This all just looks like a run-of-the-mill brushless DC motor driven by a pulse width modulated multiphase driver. That's really common technology really, and pretty much anyone can easily build the driver circuit for such a setup.
The 3-phase power to the motor is created in the controller/driver. Most BLDC motors use 3 drivers to electronically commutate.
The US Constitution is crystal clear that government may neither force compliance with any religion, nor may it interfere with it. Likewise, the right to peacefully assemble is also part of the First Amendment, and that right can not be violated under any circumstances, even a pandemic. Legally, the Constitution is indeed a suicide pact when it comes to pandemic controls, and has no provision saying "unless we think we really need to".
Well, it looks like a substantial amount of their userbase has already jumped over to Parler. Twitter can be a political echo chamber all it wants, but it will greatly limit its reach by doing so.
The law specifies sugar to flour in the dough before rising, but doesn't account for how much sugar is lost in the rising process, which converts sugar to alcohol and CO2. The end product's sugar content is what should matter, not how much it starts out with.
That's just begging for Trump to impose trade sanctions on Thailand. He may not like the social media companies but would have no issue using them as an excuse to enact any protectionist measure he can.
