Well, vaccines are very different than antibiotics. While there was the first new antibiotic made in ages earlier this year that's highly selective for specific bacteria, it only works against gram-negative bacterial cells. C. diff is gram-positive and has been an issue for a long time. It's notorious for it's recurrence rate as it's great at surviving conditions which kill most bacteria. It infects 500,000 people each year, with 20%+ of them being a reoccurring infection. Since new antibiotics are very tough to engineer, a vaccine makes way more sense and it will provide treatment for half a million people annually moving forward!

Yep! The mRNA vaccine project started in the 1980's and to provide an elaborate use case, they designed it to be a "blank check". Meaning whatever disease, toxin, allergy, autoimmune disorder, or cancer researchers want to vaccinate against is likely possible.
A new vaccine provides hope for treating and even preventing the highly contagious and difficult-to-treat *Clostridioides difficile* infection, more commonly known as *C. difficile* or C. diff. In animal models, this first mRNA-LNP *C. difficile* vaccine was found to protect against *C. difficile* first-time infections and relapsing infections by inducing a robust immune response, promote clearance of existing C. diff bacteria from the gut, and even overcome deficits in host immunity to protect animals after infection, according to researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The results, published in the journal Science, will pave the way for clinical trials of the vaccine.
A major new study reveals that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from forest fires have surged by 60% globally since 2001, and almost tripled in some of the most climate-sensitive northern boreal forests.

With diffusion being a foundational aspect of solutes mixing in solutions, the water should have an even distribution of the contaminants. However, the tidal force of water associated with a storm surge probably throws a wrench in the plan here. But generally, it's evenly spread throughout and will be found in relatively even amounts everywhere the water settles.

Ya, the house is in the persons name. But if they struggle to keep up with payments, it can become the banks home.

Same with homes, renting can provide lower monthly payments vs a mortgage. But with a mortgage you own the home and eventually you'll have no monthly payment, whereas renting means you'll always pay and the landlord has the final say in matters.

I don't know, it really all comes down to preference, but Gambit and Rouge are a pretty damn solid duo!

I mean, the research paper from the study doesn't reference dopamine at all. It focuses on electric pulses associated with visual interpretations of the environment. It does reference a reward system stating "arguably the main purpose of extracting the underlying structure of temporal sequences is to predict what is likely to happen next in order to choose appropriate actions and maximize reward." But it appears as if this is variable for each situation for each participant. Nonetheless, I like where your head's at, I just don't see it being associated with the analysis.

Well, the focus of the Israeli attacks were initially in the greater Gaza Strip area, which is in Southern Gaza. So this wouldn't make much sense to have been posted 6 months back. But being posted now demonstrates the expansion of the Israeli attacks. Nonetheless, I get where you were coming from with it.

That's odd, it seems fine on my end. But here's another instance link: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=4sfIBRTcRpU

So Ubuntu has a version called Lubuntu, which used to come with LXDE, but now it comes with LXQt. So this will require you to install LXDE with the tasksel command, unless you start with Ubuntu desktopless. But I'd say to definitely check out Kubuntu, it's the KDE version, and I feel like KDE and LXDE are quite similar. Both have an older windows overall appearance.

Looks like trolCommander, muCommander, and WinSCP all have FTP support on Windows.
shreddy_scientist 1mo ago • 91%
There's a few of them, the open source options include Double Commander, Files, Explorer++, Spacedrive (links files from multiple devices into one explorer), and Sigma File Manager. QTTabBar is an extension for the windows file manager which provides tabbed browsing as well. Here's a list covering these and many others with links to official websites for each one: https://alternativeto.net/software/windows-explorer/?p=2

On top of that, in the 2010 massive Cholera outbreak, there's images of UN sewage trucks dumping waste into the local water ways. While it was responsible for an obscene initial death toll, the country still has this Cholera strain actively being spread, confirmed via genetic analysis. In a country with fragile water filtration infrastructure, a severe lack of vaccinations, and a heavy distrust in the local government, this was a perfect storm which the repercussions are still being felt to this day... Stay away from Haiti UN, you've already done enough!

It's a University of California, the fact the article focuses on the US constitution doesn't void the state's constitution. Both federal and state governments have authority here. Maybe think outside the box whatever you're reading is painted in? It's without question a good practice.

Are they not people? People are referenced numerous times throughout the US constitution. Additionally, this is a state run institution, so the California constitution is also applicable. California's constitution explicitly covers rights and protections for students as well as faculty. Students have protection for speech and it prohibits disciplining students for this protected speech. Maybe think a bit longer before hitting post, it would help to prevent you coming across as a narcissistic imbecile...

Ever pop your ears when going up a mountain or during flight? This is air pressure changes. Either way, water tight does not mean air tight, while air tight does mean water tight assuming the material is not water soluble.

Cases for West Nile Virus (WNV) typically peak around mid- to late-September, based on the 3 year rolling average from 2021 - 2023 in NY. The median for cases reported in the US each year is 2,205, with a range of 712 - 9,862. It has a mortality rate for people with severe illness of 3 - 15%. But 1 in 150 (0.6%) infections result in encephalitis or meningitis, which are considered server illness. So, unless you're elderly, you'll almost certainly just be under the weather.
There's definitely an upward trend of arboviruses in the northern hemisphere, but they tend to be more common in Europe than America currently. Nonetheless, if you truly feel like you have WNV, it's ALWAYS better to get treatment sooner rather than later. While there's no specific WNV treatment, they can assess the severity, provide some relief, and put up restrictions to help stop the spread!
