Demodex Mites Life Cycle: Nutrition and Treatment
Among the 140 known parasite species, Demodex mite is one of the species that coexists with humans. The parasite lives mostly on the scalp, face, and chest. The two types of Demodex mites, namely "Demodex folliculorum" and "Demodex brevis,” live near or inside of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. They are mostly active at night but can also be felt moving on the skin during the day.

Energy #2 - Coal
It began forming from the dead 300 million years ago. Its presence covered most of the known world. It bound itself to ancient civilizations using it to, at first survive, and then thrive as our ancestors removed it from burial and burned it to ash.

Scutoid-A new geometrical shape scientist discovered
Ever since microbiology started investigating and analyzing the shapes and behavior of cells, they started coming across different shapes and sizes of the cell. Some have a polygonal structure, while some have fixed geometrical boundaries. When an epithelial cell was magnified and observed under a microscope, then a new geometrical figure was seen, the scientist named this shape as Scutoid shapes. The reason epithelial cell looks in this shape was because of inside cellular contents and outside structure of the cell. They also observed that cell pack together because of this structure. Initially, it was thought that cell could be packed tightly only in rectangular structure. However, this invention can open new doors to making artificial organs or fake limbs for the treatment of a paralyzed person.

Ceramic Substrates
Ceramic substrate refers to a special process board where the copper foil is directly bonded to the surface (single side or double side) of alumina (Al2O3) or aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic substrate at high temperature. Compared with traditional FR-4 or aluminum substrate, the ultra-thin composite substrate made has excellent electrical insulation performance, high thermal conductivity, excellent soft solderability, and high adhesion strength, and can be etched various graphics like the PCB, with great current carrying capacity. It is suitable for products with high heat generation (high-brightness LED, solar energy), and its excellent weather resistance is more suitable for harsh outdoor environments.

Is Perpetuation Nonsense?. Part 2
It's not to mention the emanated creaking noise - another "loss-proof", for sound is as much an energy form. After all, a perpetual motion machine is, to any extent, futile, let alone the generation of any actual thermodynamic work.

The Interdisciplinary Nature of Studying the History of Science
The origins of various sciences are dependent on existence of other fields of science. A single experiment can lead to the creation of a whole new field, which is true in the case of very important discoveries. Although there are perceived and documented pressures on some groups of individuals, those situations frequently lead to important discoveries being made by unexpected individuals, like Galileo, who worked on the fringes of science.

This is how can you be Be Next Einstein : A Practical Guide To Making A Scientific Breakthrough.
Albert Einstein has been one of the most celebrated scientists of all time. It is funny, that his ideas are also, among the most difficult to understand, and many people do not quite know what he did, and how he did all those things. It is the mystery of not knowing how the mind of a scientist works, that creates an aura of greatness. It takes years of study, everlasting passion and a great deal of luck, to come up with something worth celebrating.

Is Perpetuation Nonsense?
On November 12, 1717, Johann Bessler, a German watchmaker, placed a strange wheel of a 4-meter-diameter in a closed room. With a slight pushing motion, the bizarre machine began spinning. Johann confidently walked out of the room. After that, he got the guards to seal and lock it for the following two weeks. No interference was allowed.

COVID-19 lockdowns significantly impacting global air quality
Levels of two major air pollutants have been drastically reduced since lockdowns began in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but a secondary pollutant -- ground-level ozone -- has increased in China, according to new research.
