@dkub Of all the SciFi I’ve seen in my life, including the likes of FireFly and Red Dwarf, I’ve never actually watched all of Babylon 5. Is it actually available in its entirety anywhere?

Milano Adesso

Mark Halliday They are speaking rapidly in Milan right now unacceptably far from me at tables in sunlight, their sunglasses poised adeptly upon their dark hair, their hands inflecting thoughts, they…

Cytological Assessment of Gamma Induced Multiple Translocation Heterozygote in Sowa (Anethum graveolens L.) - Cytology and Genetics

Abstract In this experiment the development of the various chromosomal interchanges in Sowa (Anethum graveolens L.) was accomplished with the help of Gamma irradiations. The pollen mother cells of Anethum graveolens were observed to be perfectly normal in untreated plants and displayed a regular formation of eleven bivalents at diakinesis, followed by normal separation (11:11) at anaphase I. Cytological manifestation of chromosome configurations at diakinesis and metaphase-I exhibited translocation heterozygotes by the formation of either ring or chain of chromosomes in PMCs of Sowa, particularly at higher doses of Gamma irradiation (200 Gy). The translocation lines showed discernible prevalence of rings (56.58%) over chains (43.42%). In chromosomal configuration, PMCs of Irradiated plants, shows the presence of minimum one or more quadrivalent and bivalents, besides this, some PMCs showed other configurations such as trivalents, pentavalents, hexavalent, and octavalent along with variable number of univalents. At diakinesis, stage of PMCs, 2III + 1IX + 2IV + 1II + 1I configuration was observed in maximum (12.88%) followed by 6II + 1IV + 1V + 1I (12.37%) and 1VII + 1V + 2IV + 2I (11.85%). The configuration 1X + 2IV + 2II showed the lowest (5.15%) frequency. However, a variety of anomalies such as unequal separation (34.93%), laggards (21.91%) and bridges (12.32%) were also recorded. Pollen fertility was reduced (41.21 ± 0.19%) in translocation lines as comparison to control plant (98.59 ± 0.25%). Translocation heterozygotes might be used as an initial foundation for developing aneuploids with novel gene combinations.

The Alternative Implementation Problem

In this post, I want to talk about a dynamic that I’ve seen play itself over and over again in the software world. In fact, I would venture a guess that this kind of situation probably happen…

ARGH: Vanguard has just pulled out of the Net Zero Asset Manager initiative.

Looks like #Vanguard, with about $7 trillion in global assets under management in 2021 - yes you read that right - was never serious about taking climate action.

...as #IEEFA pointed out in this 2021 report "Vanguard Group: Passive about climate change' https://ieefa.org/resources/vanguard-group-passive-about-climate-change

Vanguard lags its peers on climate.
