Hello /sci/
my friend just today was diagnosed with pre stages of cervical cancer.. just getting as much information as i can as to things that she can too to mitigate this cancer. as well as exercise, anyone have any experience with hemp oil? also things like cutting out dairy or raising ph levels? sources would be fantastic too. THANK YOU.

hey sorry about your friend
i don't think hemp oil or any other magical solution reliably works. talk to your doctors as much as you can and ask them for any suggestions they may have. i read about a guy who supposedly beat his cancer with turmeric and kale but there's no scientific evidence for this. i think the best thing you can do is just try to be healthy, exercise and eat right.
when i got type 1 diabetes the literature was overwhelming, i imagine it's 10000 times worse with cancer. good luck to you.

>>8021995
thankyou for the compassion bro. yeah of course i wasn't implying any magical cure, only looking for external information and evidence based research that could help mitigate the spread.

I've heard of anti-inflammatory drugs reducing the risk of cancer and even slowing it down, so maybe foods that help to reduce inflammation.
Aspirin could also be very effective at this, but there is a huge risk of bleeding. If she is going to try anything, best talk to a doctor first.

Do astronauts need to be smart?
Let's be honest, we aren't gonna strap our best and brightest to a fucking explosive and send them to the moon. Astronauts are probably not that smart, but are VERY good at listening to directions.
all they need to do is use tools like hammers and shit to build the experiments actual scientists need to have in space. they are just space construction people. we should send mexicans

Can mechanical engineers get a job at nintendo? Who designs the consoles and stuff, they are mechanical engineers right?
What about disney? They have theme park rides, right? Can I get a job at nasa?
What the fuck do mechanical engineers even do? Every single company jobs listing website I go to lists a bunch of jobs for electrical engineering, computer science, even civil engineering, but I hardly ever see a job offering for mechanical engineering

we don't do anything. Mech E is gay. fuck off, we're full.

You're looking in the wrong places then, mechanical engineers can basically get a job anywhere that requires mechanical design. I know a guy who's a mechE who works at fucking Tiffanys designing jewelry molds. Mechanical engineers don't know shit about electronics above physics II unless they go to grad school

yeah you are right
it is gay
I'm switching to EECS like any smart interesting heterosexual person would
then i can get a job at nintendo
When mathematicians say "infinitely many" instead of "infinity" they just sound like pseudo-intellectual retards. So why do it?
Pic unrelated, I know it's dividing by 0. I don't have a related pic.

Imagine you do you laundry and then leave your clothes to dry under the sun outside.
After a few hours, you go back there and see that your clothes are dry, as expected.
Question: Water at sea level needs to reach 100 degrees Celsius to evaporate. You know for a fact that the water in your clothes didn't reach that temperature, even though a phase change took place.
What happened?

It's the exact same principle as a sunspot. The corona is not uniform, and less dense, cooler sections appear darker.

I've been thinking about steam turbines. Obviously we use water because it's so common, but what about using alcohol or even liquid nitrogen? Something with a very low boiling point.
Would that be useful for space applications? I'm trying to think of a solution to the heat dissipation problems in space.
A liquid nitrogen turbine is interesting to think about. I've got no idea if you could condense enough of it for recycling to make it worthwhile at all.

Since you're going to have a lot of heat and compression in a steam engine, using something that's flammable is a bad idea because shit is going to explode

>>8021238
Doesn't Carnot efficiency stop steam engines from being anymore than 40% efficient or something like that?

Hello Science.
Is it in any way possible to remove a central nervous system without the host dying? What would one need to even do that?

there's no such thing as a "central nervous system", it's just a leaky abstraction that biologists came up with to roughly characterize some poorly-defined subset of bodily tissues

Suppose you have a few droplets of water on a surface in a room with dry air. The water, surface and air are at thermal equilibrium at comfortable 298 K and 1 bar.
By experience we know that the water will eventually evaporate into the air due to vapour pressure. This is, of course, a change in phase, and should require 2257 kJ/kg of energy to happen.
Most often this energy in in the form on heat, and since the water is still, it can't be due to viscous forces either. Heat, of course, is thermal energy moving from a point with higher temperature to a point with lower temperature. No temperature difference, no heat transfer.
The water will evaporate since the surrounding air is dry. The question is: where does the latent heat of vaporization come from?

Any thermodynamics majors around?

Evaporation =\= phase change. The water does not turn into steam. In fact, no heat (or at least very little) is required at all. What haopens, plainly, is that some molecules may escape from the surface and into the air by sheer chance.
>>
Evaporation is not a phase change. It's just vaporization occuring at the surface of a liquid.

Sci im a farce of an undergrad research volunteer, i need help getting info out of this NMR. Usually most of,the NMR problems,ive done for classes they give the formula and stuff, but this os my first realsies NMR. Wtf do i do? What are the steps on how i should approach something like this? The peak with the integration value of 3 is a methyl group coming off an ester, this is suposed to be a fatty acid ester btw

What's an NMR? What does it show and what do you do with it? Concentrations of something in some sample?

It tells you about the individual environment of protons (Hs) in a molecule
