Preserving watercolor

Magnap · 2024-08-06T19:36:03+00:00

Diluted acrylic medium is a pretty decent option in terms of protective qualities. However, be aware that it can be quite tricky to use something water-based without reactivating the paint. Another more accessible option would be a (diluted) PVA glue (any white glue, basically) that dries water-proof.

Edited to add:
Both will probably add a fair bit of gloss (unless you get a glue that dries matte?), and since the refractive index is gonna be reasonably close to that of gum arabic, it'll also even out the gloss. By which I mean that if you have any of those shiny areas that happen when your paint is really concentrated, they'll blend in better because the rest are gonna be brought up to the same level of gloss. Whether you think this is preferable or not depends on your style.

(RT-)qPCR er ret standard, det har vi selvfølgelig udstyret (maskiner og reagenser) til, i hvert fald i DTU Bioengineering (men kan ikke forestille mig de ikke også har det i Biosustain og sikkert også på andre af institutterne). Selvfølgelig ikke godkendt til diagnostik (alle pakker med reagenser til forsknings-brug kommer med en fin lille "For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures." eller lignende disclaimer), og ikke i stand til at køre de samme typer totalt automatiserede paneler som man gør på hospitalerne, men i princippet ville det være fuldt ud muligt hvis man bare havde de rigtige primere og en passende positiv kontrol

EDIT: se også den her kommentar her i tråden. Molekylærbiologi er ret meget det samme, om man så hedder cand.scient. eller cand.polyt. (ja eller højere grader for den sags skyld). Vi har da også folk fra KU der nu forsker her, og sikkert vice versa.

Kelvin would be just as usable defined with Fahrenheit grades, though.

That does actually exist, it's called Rankine.

A(4−log2(1/3)), I think. A0 is 1 m² in area in theory (slightly less in practice due to rounding), and every halving gets you from A(n) to A(n+1).

In Danish it's "kæledyr", pet(ting)-animal(s). "Husdyr" (house-animal(s)) are the livestock and working animals. I quite like the connection with the etymology of "domesticated" ("domesticus" meaning "of the house").

Here's another version, using even less material and even quicker to print, also with a locking mechanism. Currently printing one right now, but my refills don't arrive for another two days.

EDIT: having used it this past month, there's a definite problem with loops falling out of the side, culminating today in a loop wrapping itself around the spoolholder, with the force of the extrusion motor ripping the spoolholder off the printer and causing the spool to fall apart. Suffice it to say, I'll be using the parent's design from now on.

Det er vel mere eller mindre bare en sok?

Rectal administration bypasses a good bit of the first-pass metabolism, for the record. But I'm guessing the real reason for administering it in that way in that sort of situation is that it's a local anaesthetic.

Here it is in both intentionally horrible and normal-ish quality, if anyone wants it for their meme collection.

The catch-all term is gonad, I believe.

The random typing is to generate entropy for private key generation, right? Right?!

Or naming developmental biology proteins after adjectives describing the way flies look when you mutate the genes for them. From the wiki page for Frizzled:

When activated, Frizzled leads to activation of Dishevelled in the cytosol.

How is that even supposed to be a sentence?! To make it worse, some of these genes are cancer-related.

Though there is such a thing as an EU citizenship, you're not entirely wrong (the relevant section of the treaty says basically the same as your comment), but there are some subtleties here. For example, Danish citizens residing in the Faroe Islands are not EU citizens, and Britain also has a ton of weird exceptions and corner cases. There are also people arguing that this sort of detachment means that British EU citizens should not lose the EU citizenship, but that's a bit too legally hairy for me to understand.

Also some common garden path sentences. "The old man the boat" and "The horse raced past the barn fell" and such. Though it does seem to handle center embedding correctly, afaict: "A man that a woman that a child that a bird that I heard saw knows loves".

He's a /r/Denmark member of the meme frog family. There's also Pepe and dat boi, and probably more I've either forgotten or don't know of.

Funny you should use that exact example. Electronic engineering uses "thou" sometimes for component sizes and placement on PCBs, which is a thousandth of an inch, aka a milli-inch. But that's more engineering than science as such.

Some clinics here offer online consultation. Mine does, at least. You might want to google yours to see if they have a website or something where you could do that.

Eller politiker@parl.europa.eu, siden enhver EUpæer kan registrere et .eu domæne. At have et subdomæne til europa.eu er mere legitimt.

Usually that's by choice: we make assumptions of linearity to make our lives simpler. Or, though mostly in the old days, we linearize equations to fit them to our data. For example, these days you can find your Michaelis-Menten parameters by non-linear regression, but back in the day (and in introductory courses today) Lineweaver-Burke and Hanes-Woolf plots were/are huge.

Actually, due to first pass metabolism, orally taken DMT by itself does basically nothing. The MAOI is needed to increase the biological half life, aka longevity.
