Preliminary Report on Unidentified Object 92002, "The Chiron Derelict"

 

Discovered by a robot probe exploring the minor planet 2060 Chiron, object 92002 appears to be nothing less than an interstellar spacecraft of nonhuman origin.

 

The relevant probe imagery was suppressed, and an unprecedented manned exploration mission was dispatched to investigate the artifact.

 

Adrift, apparently long abandoned, the vessel is nonetheless far from lifeless. Indeed, the ship itself is alive. It shows every indication of being a complex colony organism composed of many disparate subunits, which the exploration team calls "nodes".

 

This appears to be no natural space-going lifeform, but a deliberately assembled combination of biomechanoid modules. Most of the nodes are so completely self-contained, so tightly specialized, and so efficient at their functions, that they must have been genetically engineered with near godlike skill.

 

For example, this power-generating node was extracted from the derelict's outer surface. It is plant-like, photosynthesizing sunlight of almost any wavelength. The black chemistry of this process is far more efficient than Earth's green chlorophyll. The plant's waste products are digested by a symbiotic fungal matrix below it, which in turn emits a chemiluminescent glow...which is absorbed again by the power plant's ventral surfaces. Thus the loop is closed and the plant generates electrochemical energy for the colony-spacecraft with near perfect efficiency.

 

The unexpected discovery of such an advanced alien artifact so close to Earth is alarming, and the apparent abandonment of the vessel by its presumed crew is hardly reassuring. If they - whoever they are - are not still on board...where did they go?

 

This is an illuminated alien/organic greeble study for Greeble De Mayo 2015, Week Three.

The prevalence of obesity has increased from 23% to 31% over the recent past in the United States, and 66% of adults are overweight. In order to better understand this phenomenon, the authors in this study performed a quantitative analysis of the nature and extent of the person-to-person spread of obesity as a possible factor contributing to the obesity epidemic. The authors evaluated a densely interconnected social network of 12,067 people assessed repeatedly from 1971 to 2003 as part of the Framingham Heart Study. The body-mass index was available for all subjects. They used longitudinal statistical models to examine whether weight gain in one person was associated with weight gain in his or her friends, siblings, spouse, and neighbors. The image shown here depicts the largest connected subcomponent of the social network in the year 2000. This network is sufficiently dense to obscure much of the underlying structure, although regions of the network with clusters of obese or non-obese persons can be seen. Each circle (node) represents one person in the data set. There are 2200 persons in this subcomponent of the social network. Circles with red borders denote women, and circles with blue borders denote men. The size of each circle is proportional to the person's body-mass index. The interior color of the circles indicates the person's obesity status: yellow denotes an obese person (body-mass index) and green denotes a non-obese person. The colors of the ties between the nodes indicate the relationship between them: purple denotes a friendship or marital tie and orange denotes a familial tie. Discernible clusters of obese persons were present in the network at all time points, and the clusters extended to three degrees of separation. These clusters did not appear to be solely attributable to the selective formation of social ties among obese persons. A person's chances of becoming obese increased by 57% if he or she had a friend who became obese in a given interval. Among pairs of adult siblings, if one sibling became obese, the chance that the other would become obese increased by 40%. If one spouse became obese, the likelihood that the other spouse would become obese increased by 37%. These effects were not seen among neighbors in the immediate geographic location. Persons of the same sex had relatively greater influence on each other than those of the opposite sex. The spread of smoking cessation did not account for the spread of obesity in the network.

Bamboos are woody monocots in the Grass family (Poaceae). They are mainly tropical to warm temperate in distribution and many are now grown widely as ornamentals.

 

In grasses a leaf arises at stem node. It consists of a lower section, the leaf-sheath which clasps the stem and an upper leaf-blade which in this species hangs downwards.

 

This image shows details of the stems, nodes, the pale brown leaf-sheaths and leaves. In this close-up image a stem length of approximately 30 cm is shown.

poucas são as vezes que me aparecia ao sol, sempre vinha com chuva. sentia o cheiro pela manhã. capaz que venha... silencio e poucas palavras. para isso o cinema... era mais fácil marcarmos pro filme: poupávamos a falta delas... dos textos inventados....... e as imagens cobriam-nos...mas mesmo assim vinha. e eu recebia. ficou costume e apesar das mudanças não nos desatávamos...

A young man with a history of lymph node biopsy from the same region about 10 months ago. That biopsy was considered as either Kikuchi lymphadenitis or probably a lymphoma! No granuloma was seen. The patient seemed to be doing well without treatment! After seeing that biopsy in consultation, we requested another biopsy, which included a couple of lymph nodes matted together. The cut surface shows areas of caseification necrosis (yellowish). The scale is centimeters. Histology was typical but no acid fast bacilli were seen.

A marginal sinus, lymphoid follicles with germinal centers and anthracotic pigment are present. Intrapulmonary lymph nodes are usually less than 1 cm. in diameter. They are most often located near the visceral pleura as a single nodule but sometimes more than 1 lymph node may be present. Intrapulmonary lymph nodes are often detected on CT scans and may be biopsied to rule out primary or metastatic neoplasm or granuloma.

Wheels on chairs. Wheels on so very many chairs. I like the Node chairs from Steelcase, but this seems to be too many in one room. (I counted 40.) What's the use of mobility if there's nowhere to move?

Description:

To make the mummy even more accessible, parts of the digital model have been recreated using 3D printing technology. The 3D printed objects can be used to enhance the visitor experience, in educational activities, or to improve access for visually impaired visitors.
