It has been established that dissolution of membrane lipids plays a role in the toxicity of ethanol and butanol to micro-organisms; a matter of particular importance for the production of bio-alcohol fuels using fermentation by microbial activity. However, solubility is a phenomenon heavily gove...
The standard model of Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) explains religion as some kind of natural phenomenon. Religious ideas and beliefs are considered as natural not only in the sense of their foundation on cognitive processes and mechanisms, but also as obvious, intuitive, and in some sense...
Sexual racism is a problematic feature of dating and pair-bounding preferences. It is seen as reinforcing racial stereotypes and dating hierarchies (Bedi, 2015) among majority ethnicities. Racial fetishization has subjected minority women to harassment (Buchanan et al. 2018), violence (Olive, 20...

Since the first arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator _Pteris vittata_ was discovered by Ma et al.(2001), we have clarified somewhat in As detoxification in this fern. It is believed that _P. vittata_, as a “model fern” for As study, may take up arsenate (AsV) and arsenite (AsIII) via phosphate transpor...

It is conventionally assumed that the achievable concentration of a bio-alcohol molecule by fermentation is limited by the toxicity of that molecule to the micro-organisms producing it. In the case of ethanol, for example, extremely high titers have been achieved by developing resistant strains ...
After the arrival of the first humans, Indigenous Australians, to the island continent, the previous megafauna became extinct. As many samples are still extant, deriving DNA samples or fragments and reverse engineering, through multiple generations could allow us to recreate these fauna, or at ...
Scientific approaches ("science" narrowly defined as the "sciences of nature") metaphysically exclude divine effects as appropriate--in other words, science itself is structured to exclude divine action (pragmatically). The problem with the "natural" study of religion is that religion cannot be ...
