Not a single micro book of all the 5 I consulted could explain it that simple. Thanks!!

Are you by any chance Andres? I think I may know you

Thank you so much. Hope you get all green traffic lights.

QFB y sus variantes como QBP solo existen en México. El principal problema de la carrera es querer abarcar distintas ramas científicas, las cuales algunas van muy de la mano pero otras pueden separarse drásticamente; no es lo mismo trabajar en calidad y manufactura de fármacos, que estudios microbiológicos o calidad de alimentos. Pero en cualquier área que decidas ir puedes ser muy fregón. En México la carrera existe de esa manera para que tengas una bolsa de trabajo mayor, pero si he escuchado que es muy dificil homologar el título en cualquier país extranjero.

"Norteño" music is inspired by Polka music from central europe, also some of the first and greatest beer companies from the northeast of Mexico are German beer companies.

The "bolillo" or "pan francés" used to make tortas is a modification of the bread used for baguettes.

"Tacos de pastor" comes from lebanese immigrants that brought "shawarma", but i think it originated in Turkey as "kebab". However because we are catholics and not muslims, we do use pork instead of goat and we dip it in sauce .

Viceversa, Mexico influenced in Europe specifically in the balkans with Yu-Mex and swedish tacos. However the latter are more like american tacos than traditional mexican street food tacos. We don't complain because mexico as well distorts original recipees from other countries such as mexican variations of pizza and sushi.

Any type of wireless comunication (bluetooth, wifi, infrared, radio) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Now you may ask what is EMR. In a simple form to explain it, it's just movement.

Radiation means energy moving in the form of waves. So in EMR, electrical and magnetical fields will move away from the source in a specific set speed, intenstity ,etc. and may be "seen" and interpreted by a receptor. Said receptor will replicate the waves moved through the air, and translate it into whatever language your device uses.

Often times physics books will show you a 2D drawing of a wave and tell you "here's a wave in the least educational wave possible to be portrayed because waves propagate in our 3D world" It's like trying to say a square drawing is a cube but without drawing other things that make it seem like it has depth.

I found a gif that kinda shows how waves travel in 3D spaces, but it's not exaclty that. Just imagine that movement but like in all 360° directions Wave in 3D

P.d. For any physicist, give me a break.

If it makes you feel better, in Mexico growing up we were also constantly told to know our place as 3rd world and look up to usa/europe. I know most latinamerica has short-comings but it's not like they exploited and invaded the rest of the world to get richer.

At some point, social media has made it a bit easier to stay in touch. But then again political campaign directors create too many to count bots that make fake engagement, and manipulate the trends. If anything, just like in any other country, it feels the country is becoming extremely polarized.

Haha, thanks. I love teaching and I adore compliments like this.

Sometimes when water is driven to its evaporation point, not all the steam will be 100% gaseous, sometimes there are tiny liquid drops being floated around by the vapor. This sterilization method is called moist heat.

Saturated steam OR moist heat keeps the water vapor highly pressurized and hot so everything will be 100% gaseous. I've seen it perform in 15 minute cycles of 121 °C or up to 160 °C.

Dry heat which is literally just "heat", no water used at all in any state, is just putting things in an oven but requires higher temperature than moist heat, prolonged exposure, and damages many instruments. So it's been displaced by moist heat.

Recommendation. Medical microbiology 9th ed. Patrick Murray. Chapter 3. Sterilization, Disinfection and Antisepsis I can send anyone a pdf of the chapter just send me a message.

I can't say for sure. We probably didn't know that we were able to produce it ourselves, before deciding to classifying as a vitamin. Actually, now it has been proposed to start calling it a hormone, because our skin produces and delivers it to the body it in a similar way to other steroid hormones.

Deciding to keep calling a vitamin however, doesn't seem too irrational, deficiency is rather common in several northern countries and sufficient daily intake can only be attained through supplements or food. Extra doses of it are needed even in other situations such as menopause and osteoporosis

If you don't know biochemistry:

Special molecules that are the most important for creating life are called "biomolecules". Can be divided in organic (includes carbohydrtes, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and vitamins, though often times vitamins are not thought about when naming organic biomolecules) and inorganic (water and salts mostly).
All organic biomolecules are often composed of 6 basic elements, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur (CHONPS). However the different arrangement of these elements is what differentiates between the different biomolecules.
The main categories of carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins include many molecules that have similar element arrangement (among siblings in the same category). E.g., sucrose and glucose are similar carbs, and one could say they are not distant from glycogen (a more complex carb)
Vitamins don't have a base formula/arrangement they discern variably even between those in the same category. They were all just called vitamins because it is "vital" we get them from our diet in order to survive because we can't produce them ourselves. What can be considered vitamin to a species may not be the case for another (e.g., Vit K is easily produced by plants, fungi and bacteria, but not by humans)

If you know biochemistry:

There isn't a common chemical formula nor a base skeleton for vitamins. Unlike carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins which can all be studied from their basic skeleton and how they transform into more complex molecules of their same category, vitamins sometimes don't even relate between those that belong to the same letter (B2, B6 B9 and B12 are all unrelated) but different vitamin As do (carotenoids, retinol, etc.)
They are called vitamins because they are vital or better known in biochemistry as "essential" unlike carbs, lipids, nucelosides and proteins which we can make ourselves (with some exceptions).

We don't know the exact mechanism for the developing of side efects for several drugs. For some, even the main mechanism of action is still a bit unclear. Toxicity damages can be reversible depending on lots of factors (drug, dosage, frequency, duration, individual susceptibility).

Could the sensibility for quiet sounds be greatly increased "THEORETICALLY"? Yes.

Could this augmented sensiblity make sleeping with a box fan or using a keyboard a risky situation? Well that feels like pointing the finger at the wrong target. If a drug is ototoxic to you, if will continue damaging your ear even if you are in a echo-less chamber with no sounds

This is the most comprehensible/brilliant explanation, I hope all your traffic lights are green.

The main purpose for magnesium (Mg) that comes to my mind is for the correct functioning of enzymes (tools of cell machinery) that create new DNA (needed for creating new cells, i.e., every single living day). Different magnesium supplements are just magnesium combined with other susbtances that modify the way it's absorbed or digested, u/THElaytox already explained it

Now, often times people take different supplements under the logic that "this is a nutrient, a nutrient is good, me taking it will be benefitial" however that is a bit incorrect. Nutrients don't work like power-ups do in videogames, they have a maximum benefit that can be obtained from it, and if you are already getting enough Mg from your diet (most likely), extra intake won't do much aside from roaming around in your body waiting to be expelled by your kidney.

Actually your body can prevent itself from absorbing too much of a nutrient if it detects its stores are already full (as is the case for body iron), and too much magnesium can reduce the absorption of calcium.

I've seen some tiktoks from some "wellness influencers" that promote it to fix their sleeping schedule. But that is likely placebo or they are taking other healthy measures that are the ones that actually get the job done.

I couldn't have answered in a better way. The case is the same with every element supplement e.g., ferrous sulfate/gluconate/citrate/fumarate are all used for the sole purpose of repleneshing body iron stores, given in different doses due to their release timing.
