#amped form

[professor-mystic]

A gathering of Toxtricity I had the fortune of studying. The varation in height is facinating.

The Low-Key forms really do live up to their names. This bulky fellow only really moved to look at me a few times.

Despite the chill environment this is a breeding event. Where both sexes will engage in competition for breeding rights by engaging in what appear to be musical duels.

Either that or they're throwing one HELL of a music festival. And to be honest there's little practical difference at the end of the day.

The "amped" form is no more jumpy or inclined to pick a fight with random humans that the low key form is.

Prompt 72

 Crane is getting desperate. No matter how much he tries to offset it with human food, his stomach continues to feel like a ravenous void. His hands are shaking, vision just as shaky as he tries to continue the delicate process of creating his toxin, even though he knew it wasn’t going to work. 

 The last seven batches hadn’t had an effect, even as he made them stronger and stronger. He’s getting desperate, feeling more like a starved animal than a man of science. 

 His throat is dry and scratchy despite him just drinking water, and his fangs easily cause his lips to bleed as he bites at them nervously. He taps his claws impatiently at the table, nausea sweeping over his head for a moment before his vision righted itself while waiting for the fear toxin to finish. 

 It doesn’t work. It doesn’t work. It’s strong enough to nearly kill anyone else but it does nothing and he’s going to starve. He was in that damn asylum for too long, and he’s going to die and he doesn’t want to- 

 He’s long since stopped being able to feel fear but at that moment he could almost swear he still could.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #liminal scarecrow #ghosts feed on fear #the whole scarebeast issue made things worse #he shouldn't be fully immune to his fear gas (at least in liquid form) yet for another few years #He should have had time to figure something out #but as the scarebeast literally produced the toxin it amped up his immunity far to quickly #being locked in arkham in a tiny cell unable to feed didn't help #Random fun fact but Dick is canonically resistant to all the toxins in gotham from being a vigilante there for so long #Scarecrow is straight up having a panic attack in his little lab safehouse while half dissociating #Meanwhile the bats are very on edge and trying to find him before there's another attack #prompts #scarecrow #jonathan crane #dc scarecrow #hopefully they don't put him straight back into arkham because he's visibly starved and sick looking #usually his clothing hides it but he didn't bother putting on his coat or anything

‘Teenage Galaxies’ Are Unusually Hot, Glowing With Unexpected Elements - Technology Org

‘Teenage Galaxies’ Are Unusually Hot, Glowing With Unexpected Elements - Technology Org

Like human teenagers, teenage galaxies are awkward, experience growth spurts and enjoy heavy metal — nickel.

A Northwestern University-led team of astrophysicists has just analyzed the first results from the CECILIA (Chemical Evolution Constrained using Ionized Lines in Interstellar Aurorae) Survey. This program uses NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study the chemistry of distant galaxies.  

According to the early results, so-called “teenage galaxies” — which formed two-to-three billion years after the Big Bang — are unusually hot and contain unexpected elements, like nickel, which are notoriously difficult to observe.  

The research was published today (Nov. 20) in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. It marks the first in a series of forthcoming studies from the CECILIA Survey. 

“We’re trying to understand how galaxies grew and changed over the 14 billion years of cosmic history,” said Northwestern’s Allison Strom, who led the study. “Using the JWST, our program targets teenage galaxies when they were going through a messy time of growth spurts and change. Teenagers often have experiences that determine their trajectories into adulthood. For galaxies, it’s the same.” 

One of the principal investigators of the CECILIA Survey, Strom is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and a member of Northwestern’s Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA). Gwen Rudie, a staff scientist at Carnegie Observatories, co-leads the CECILIA Survey with Strom.

‘Chemical DNA’ gives insight into galaxy formation 

Named after Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, one of the first women to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy, the CECILIA Survey observes spectra (or the amount of light across different wavelengths) from distant galaxies.  

“Naming our JWST survey after Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin was intended to pay homage to her pioneering studies of the chemical makeup of stars,” Rudie said. “Allison and I recognize that our own work revealing the chemistry of these very early galaxies is built upon her legacy.” 

Strom likens a galaxy’s spectra to its “chemical DNA.” By examining this DNA during a galaxy’s “teenage” years, researchers can better understand how it grew and how it will evolve into a more mature galaxy.

For example, astrophysicists still don’t understand why some galaxies appear “red and dead” while others, like our Milky Way, are still forming stars. A galaxy’s spectrum can reveal its key elements, such as oxygen and sulfur, which provide a window into what a galaxy was previously doing and what it might do in the future. 

“These teenage years are really important because that’s when the most growth happens,” Strom said. “By studying this, we can begin exploring the physics that caused the Milky Way to look like the Milky Way — and why it might look different from its neighboring galaxies.” 

In the new study, Strom and her collaborators used the JWST to observe 33 distant teenaged galaxies for a continuous 30 hours this past summer. Then, they combined spectra from 23 of those galaxies to construct a composite picture. 

“This washes out the details of individual galaxies but gives us a better sense of an average galaxy. It also allows us to see fainter features,” Strom said. “It’s significantly deeper and more detailed than any spectrum we could collect with ground-based telescopes of galaxies from this time period in the universe’s history.”  

Spectra surprises 

The ultra-deep spectrum revealed eight distinct elements: Hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, argon and nickel. All elements that are heavier than hydrogen and helium form inside stars. So, the presence of certain elements provides information about star formation throughout a galaxy’s evolution.

“JWST is still a very new observatory,” said Ryan Trainor, an associate professor of physics at Franklin & Marshall College and one of the paper’s co-authors. “Astronomers around the world are still trying to figure out the best ways to analyze the data we receive from the telescope.”

Light from 23 distant galaxies, identified with red rectangles in the Hubble Space Telescope image at the top, were combined to capture incredibly faint emission from eight different elements, which are labelled in the JWST spectrum at the bottom. Although scientists regularly find these elements on Earth, astronomers rarely, if ever, observe many of them in distant galaxies. Image credit: Aaron M. Geller, Northwestern, CIERA + IT-RCDS

While Strom expected to see lighter elements, she was particularly surprised by the presence of nickel. Heavier than iron, nickel is rare and incredibly difficult to observe. 

“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine we would see nickel,” Strom said. “Even in nearby galaxies, people don’t observe this. There has to be enough of an element present in a galaxy and the right conditions to observe it. No one ever talks about observing nickel. Elements have to be glowing in gas in order for us to see them. So, in order for us to see nickel, there may be something unique about the stars within the galaxies.”  

Another surprise: The teenage galaxies were extremely hot. By examining the spectra, physicists can calculate a galaxy’s temperature. While the hottest pockets with galaxies can reach over 9,700 degrees Celsius (17,492 degrees Fahrenheit), the teenage galaxies clock in at higher than 13,350 degrees Celsius (24,062 degrees Fahrenheit). 

“This is just additional evidence of how different galaxies likely were when they were younger,” Strom said. “Ultimately, the fact that we see a higher characteristic temperature is just another manifestation of their different chemical DNA because the temperature and chemistry of gas in galaxies are intrinsically linked.”

Sci-fi Don Giovanni, call that a space opera

No but really I just wanted to draw cool robot arms. So here's a Leporello, complete with cyborg parts. I did not think this out properly and have only the flimsiest lore to justify me drawing more cool robot arms.

In this setting, Don Giovanni's family runs one of the largest manufacturers of cyborg body parts in the universe. This is a large important market for many people for... reasons. Leporello seems to be a personal servant of the family, but this is a cover-up for his actual job, which is to decrypt business secrets from their competitors, like the Commendatore's company. Because of the classified information he's handling, the cost of upkeep and debt he has towards the company itself, and his personal attachment to Giovanni, Leporello's completely trapped into this job. Or something. I don't know.

#operaposting #don giovanni #surprisingly low amount of greebles on this one because i didn't want it to look too busy... gotta amp that up #they've touched down in the moon colony of new seville because while doing his job leporello discovered a series of messages #between anna and ottavio (the heirs of two large companies that have formed a mysterious partnership for plot convenient reasons) #and of course dg's like DUDE WE HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS #and then plot stuff happens #might make more of this. might not #depends on how many cool robots i feel like drawing #also JESUS CHRIST it is really hard to make anna and ottavio's subplot interesting. i get it now

Hello there!! I hope this ask isn't too invasive, but let me girst say that I am a MASSIVE fan of your Transformers writings. Every once in awhile I go back to binge them and I'm always excited when I get updates from your AO3! I just finished reading 'Poets and Veils' for like the tenth time and I wanted to ask if you're still wanting to write a part 2 to it. But I remember you saying somewhere that TFP Megastar is a bit sore for you atm so I don't want to cross any boundaries!! Thank you all the same for reading. 😊

Omg this isn't invasive at all, thank you so much ! I am so happy you like my writing, that means a lot to me. Poets and Veils was one that was so close to my heart, one of my favorite ones. I do one day plan to write a part two!

I do have some feelings about TFP Megastar adjfal;fja BUUT as always, I love tfp megastar, it was the first TF ship i shipped and I actually did write a TFP megastar fic recently if you're interested! I'm always gonna love and write for them!

You certainly aren't crossing boundaries. i am always going to be down for talking about megastar, thank you so much!

Summary:

“Get up, you weak fool.” Starscream sneered, lowering his internal blaster.

“You aren’t going to…”

“We have a movement to run, or rather reform. You and I both know, we work better together.”

-

When the Predacons unleash their wrath upon Starscream, he is saved by the person he least expected, Megatron. Ready to exterminate him, Starscream realizes there is a change within his master (if he can even call him that) and realizes that perhaps their bickering is in the past. Now it is time to work for what they fought for.

#idk where to tag this #but i mean yeah i do tend to have some issues with the portrayals i guess?? #i love m*gastar #but it's not lost on me how like...tfp m*gastar is always like the worst portrayed i guess??? #i know each to their own but i wish that not all of the content regarding it was so violent and abusive #that sounds funny - like an oxymore #*oxymoron #but i just find that with tfp m*gastar it's like the fans tend to amp up the abuse #and that is what the majority of tfp m*gastar shipping content is #and i just don't really like it #idk if i've mentioned this here but im really picky about m*gastar and for me i really can only ship them and approach them as a form of #redemption and healing #like they have to be post war they have to be going thru healing and changing and they have to put aside the violence because #both are victims of abuse and i want them to heal with each other #no shame to the way others ship tfp m*gastar but that's just not how i like it #on the other hand #i've been at HUGE ODDS with TFP st*rscream #how can i say this?? #a group of his fans a while ago really made me dislike the character because i associated them with him #basically some not so much shit went down #but someone i used to like and trust #and associate with the character #kinda made me feel bad and shitty #and their whole group in turn kinda made me feel that way #so i associated tfp st*rscream with them #and i really REALLY REALLY hated the character #i even felt teh same with like predastar #a ship i had loved #i associated it with that group of people and i accidentally hated it #i hated tfp st*rscream

"Chokehold" by Sleep Token

#song of the day #a lot of Sleep Token references in the Call of Duty fandom which I find fascinating. is there a particular reason? #anyway we found out the other day that my brother Nick's friend Matt's favorite band that he keeps recommending to us #and the band I found from some lower-case song lyric fic titles the other day that I've been enjoying so much and recommended to Nick #are the same band!! #The Summoning is actually my favorite Sleep Token song and Granite is the one whose lyrics I learned in fic title form #but Chokehold's the one stuck in my head today #if I had to pick a song to have pounded directly into my brain because Nick won't turn down the stereo in his car (I did have to pick) #then really I don't know if I could've done better. top-tier experience with the bass amped up

Here's a drawing request! Deltarune Mystery Dungeon! So basically what pokémon everyone would be if they were, or at least the ones you're interested in doing.

I'VE NEVER PLAYED PMD LOL ive always wanted to though. but umm i think its about a world with no humans??? and pokemon form teams and wear matching scarves...?? in dungeons??? I HAVE TO PLAY IT SOMEDAY SORRY

anyways these are what pokemon i think the four guyz would be. everyone's a base/baby pokemon because um they're. not adults so??? (idk pmd lore SORRY)

ralsei being a marshadow probably doesn't make sense in the pmd universe but he's the prince of the dark. so i think he's "rare" enough to be a mythical. IDK

#asks #req #IM BAD AT DRAWING POKEMON LOL #susie would evolve into an amped form toxtricity and kris would be the world's first nonbinary gallade #legally kris should be a gardevoir because those can evolve without regarding gender but COME ON THEYRE THE FUNNY SWORD KID!!!! #also kris is shiny cause they're the only human in deltarune. so they're the only shiny in pmd. getit #okay bye AND THANKS FOR THE ASK THIS WAS FUN

Innovative Chemotherapy Approach Shows Promise Against Lung Cancer - Technology Org

Lung cancer is not the most common form of cancer, but it is by far the deadliest.

Despite treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, only about a quarter of all people with the disease will live more than five years after diagnosis, and lung cancer kills more than 1.8 million people worldwide each year, according to the World Health Organization.

To improve the odds for patients with lung cancer, researchers from The University of Texas at Arlington and UT Southwestern Medical Center have pioneered a novel approach to deliver cancer-killing drugs directly into cancer cells.

“Our method uses the patient’s own cellular material as a trojan horse to transport a targeted drug payload directly to the lung cancer cells,” said Kytai T. Nguyen, lead author of a new study on the technique in the peer-reviewed Bioactive Materials and the Alfred R. and Janet H. Potvin Distinguished Professor in Bioengineering at UTA. “The process involves isolating T-cells (a type of immune cell) from the cancer patient and modifying them to express a specific receptor that targets the cancer cells.”

The crucial step in this new technique involves isolating the cell membrane from these modified T-cells, loading the membranes with chemotherapy medications, and then coating them onto tiny drug-delivery granules. These nanoparticles are roughly 1/100 the size of a strand of hair.

When these membrane-coated nanoparticles are injected back into the patient, the cell membrane acts as a guide, directing the nanoparticles to the tumor cells with precision. This approach is designed to deceive the patient’s immune system, as the coated nanoparticles mimic the properties of immune cells, avoiding detection and clearance by the body.

“The key advantage of this method lies in its highly targeted nature, which allows it to overcome the limitations of conventional chemotherapy that often lead to detrimental side effects and reduced quality of life for patients,” said co-author Jon Weidanz, associate vice president for research and innovation and a researcher in kinesiology and bioengineering.

“By delivering chemotherapy directly to the tumor cells, the system aims to minimize collateral damage to healthy tissues,” continued Weidanz, who also is a member of UTA’s Multi-Interprofessional Center for Health Informatics.

In the study, researchers loaded the nanoparticles with the anti-cancer drug Cisplatin. The membrane-coated nanoparticles accumulated in parts of the body with the tumors rather than in other parts of the body. As a result, this targeted delivery system reduced the size of the tumors in the control group, demonstrating its efficacy.

“This personalized approach could pave the way for a new era of medicine tailored to each patient’s unique characteristics and the specific nature of their tumor,” Nguyen said. “The potential for reduced side effects and improved effectiveness makes our technique a noteworthy advancement in the field of cancer treatment.”
