Analysis of a possible root cause and mechanism for Soma mine disaster
A daunting mine disaster took place in 13 May 2014 at Soma and 301 men lost their lives. Brief information about the Eynez coal mine and some of the inherent characteristics of the field in terms of their effects on mining are presented. This paper basically concentrates on the factors that played an important role in the occurrence of this disaster. Progress of mine fire, firefighting, and res...
متن کاملA biochemical blueprint for long-term memory.
The greatest barrier to the long-term storage of information in a biological system is the inevitability of molecular turnover. In this review, we discuss the features required of any chemical mechanism capable of overcoming this obstacle, positing that a specific type of "mnemogenic", or memory-forming, chemical reaction is the basis of the engram. We describe how molecules as diverse as prote...
متن کاملAssociative memory models provide a possible mechanism for both heuristics and biases and Bayesian inference
Heuristics and biases program described some behaviors of human decision making as adaptive prerational tools that lead to different kinds of structural cognitive errors. Some criticism on this program relay over the absence of theoretical and mechanistic models of heuristics. Cognitive errors in medical diagnosis are widely described as biases provoked by the use of heuristics in realistic cli...
متن کاملA Possible Mechanism For Cold Fusion
We describe a mechanism for cold fusion that is able to explain how two hydrogen ions may come close enough so as to fusion as well as many of the different and independent experimental observations made during years of experiments. We present the mechanism, its weak points, the way it explains the respective phenomena and suggest some experiments that may validate further the model described b...
متن کاملStructural network heterogeneities and network dynamics: a possible dynamical mechanism for hippocampal memory reactivation.
The hippocampus has the capacity for reactivating recently acquired memories and it is hypothesized that one of the functions of sleep reactivation is the facilitation of consolidation of novel memory traces. The dynamic and network processes underlying such a reactivation remain, however, unknown. We show that such a reactivation characterized by local, self-sustained activity of a network reg...
