@Mitch sure it does. I'm saying the reason the virus appears in the lower respiratory tract is not because of the cough; droplets have to be of a very specific size to be able to get there, and it's instead because the virus has reached those cells through blood
@Cerberus a single Human Immunodeficiency Virus, i.e. the capsid + viral genome and proteins
Think drugs for asthma. They're either very fine powders or aerosols. The pressure is calculated to be in a very narrow range; big droplets (or powders) would not reach the alveoli and very small droplets (or powders) would remain suspended in the air and then exhaled.
The Cox–Zucker machine is an algorithm created by David A. Cox and Steven Zucker. This algorithm determines whether a given set of sections provides a basis (up to torsion) for the Mordell–Weil group of an elliptic surface E → S, where S is isomorphic to the projective line.The algorithm was first published in the 1979 article "Intersection numbers of sections of elliptic surfaces" by Cox and Zucker and was later named the "Cox–Zucker machine" by Charles Schwartz in 1984. The name is a homophone for an obscenity, and this was a deliberate move by Cox and Zucker, who conceived of the idea of...
Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈalβaɾ ˈnũɲeθ kaˈβeθa ðe ˈβaka] (listen); c. 1488/1490/1492 – c. 1557/1558/1559/1560) was a Spanish explorer of the New World, and one of four survivors of the 1527 Narváez expedition. During eight years of traveling across what is now the US Southwest, he became a trader and faith healer to various Native American tribes before reconnecting with Spanish civilization in Mexico in 1536. After returning to Spain in 1537, he wrote an account, first published in 1542 as La relación y comentarios ("The Account and Commentaries"), which in later editions...

Survived for 8 years among unexplored and uncontacted peoples of Florida.

Migration from former Soviet states has helped Russia maintain its population on a level. We shall see what happens.
Russia's population has been losing 2700 people a day for the last 12 months. But that excludes the immigration. With immigration, we might still be in the plus.
Before Covid, Russia's record-high year in terms of lethality was 2003, when a total of 2.37 mn people died.
This was overshot in 2020, when 2.41 mn died.
This year, the expected total deaths will amount to 2.45 mn.
I wonder why so many people died back in 2003
1994 was the most shocking year, when the war in Chechnya started.
Boris Yeltsin at first tried to use "anonymous" soldiers, just like Vladimir Putin now in Ukraine.
These "anonymous" soldiers were taken prisoners in the fall of 1994, and paraded on TV screens by human rights activists who helped save them.
The FSB and the Army started really hating the human rights activists from then on.
The regime sent young soldiers and expected them to fight or die, like pieces of meat. And suddenly some fuckers brought the scheme up and uncovered the plot.
Russia's people also started hating human rights activists. I remember a huge graffiti on a wall in Yekaterinburg "Правозатычник Ковалев" (Human Fucks Activist Kovalyov)
Sergei Adamovich Kovalyov (also spelled Sergey Kovalev; Russian: Сергей Адамович Ковалёв; 2 March 1930 – 9 August 2021) was a Russian human rights activist and politician. During the Soviet period he was a dissident and, after 1975, a political prisoner.
== Early career and arrest ==
Kovalyov was born in the town of Seredyna-Buda, near Sumy (in Soviet Union, now Ukraine). In 1932, his family moved to Podlipki village near Moscow. In 1954, Kovalyov graduated from Moscow State University and in 1964 he gained a PhD in biophysics. As a biophysicist, Kovalyov was author of more than 60 scientific...
Russian people has always hated those who tried to preserve humanity.
Because if you fight for human rights, you're a puppet of the West.
> From Grozny, he witnessed the realities of the First Chechen War. His daily reports via telephone and on TV galvanized Russian public opinion against the war. For his activism, he was removed from his post in the Duma in 1995.[14] In 1994, he was awarded the Homo Homini Award for human rights activism by the Czech group People in Need.[15]
A new type of artificial intelligence, known as transformational machine learning, can learn from solving multiple problems, for example, during drug development, and improve its own performance while doing so -- clinicalomics.com/machine-learning/…
They always come up with good-sounding names like "deep neural networks" and "transformational machine learning".
@CowperKettle once again, the authors are expecting that the term 'transformational' will do all the heavy lifting.
In a cursory (or is desultory) reading of the paper, it looks like it's not total bullshit. i.e their primary transgression is using the word 'transformational' in order to make you think that their methods are literally transformational.
Their methods seem like they are combining some other ML methods. They point out 'stacking', where you intentionally train models to feed into other models (and then possibly to feed into more) and you're training -all- these models together at the same time. And 'transfer' learning is using -pretrained- models and building new models with those.
And MTL (multi-task models) is just interpolating multiple functions ('interpolation' is a synonym of supervised learning) from one data set. These are all both well worn techniques. and often used together.
I can't really judge the biology. But if they can discover new drugs with their combination of ML techniques, then that's great. After the title, the contents of the article don't seem lke bullshit.
It -is- PNAS which does not have a heavy ML peer review board (they're like the next try after Science of Nature for biology articles).
And the article reads like it is trying to teach newcomers to ML what it is, which is what sophomores to a subject do.
@Cerberus I remember there were things you always had to say out loud to make sure everybody was ready to switch sides or to get out of the way for those who need to move about (and duck when the boom jerks overhead)
In historical linguistics, the High German consonant shift or second Germanic consonant shift is a phonological development (sound change) that took place in the southern parts of the West Germanic dialect continuum in several phases. It probably began between the third and fifth centuries and was almost complete before the earliest written records in High German were produced in the eighth century. The resulting language, Old High German, can be neatly contrasted with the other continental West Germanic languages, which for the most part did not experience the shift, and with Old English, which...
It took me those split seconds too long to get up on the board.
and then when I was up on the board I didn't get the front/back balance right and the front or back end would go down in the water too much and I'd founder
It's also surprisingly tiring. You'd think you'd get up on the board and you're just standing there, but somehow every run (or whatever you call a single wave ride) was exhausting.
