Ash from an eruption column can drift or be blown hundreds or thousands of miles away from the volcano. The eruption columns are usually shaped like a mushroom (similar to a nuclear explosion) or an Italian pine tree; Pliny the Younger, a Roman historian, made the comparison while viewing ...
It causes seizures, which are bursts of electricity in the brain. There are four main types of epilepsy: focal, generalized, combination focal and generalized, and unknown. A person’s seizure type determines what kind of epilepsy they have. Different types of seizures affect the brain in ...
Radiation might have gotten a bad rap from nuclear accidents, but the word "radiation" actually encompasses a large range of phenomena. Radiation is everywhere, and a great number of everyday electronic devices rely on it. Without radiation from the sun, life on Earth would look very different...
A prime example is the March 2011 Tohoku earthquake leading to a tsunami (natural) that triggered the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (man-made). Disasters can also be characterized by the location of such an event. Internal disasters are those incidents that occur within the health care ...

postsynaptic depolarization triggers a dendritic spike79. Recent results have also revealed that single bursts in DG granule cells may selectively alter specific functional components of the downstream circuit, such as feedforward inhibitory interneurons80....

(These are seen only in spiral galaxies, most often near the arms.) Until this stage of its evolution, the star has shone by means of the nuclear energy released at and near its core in the process of squeezing and heating lighter elements such as hydrogen or helium into successively ...
