The lytic and lysogenic cycles of viruses (IB)


A virus enters a host cell by attaching to proteins on its surface. The lytic and lysogenic cycles are the ways viruses exploit a host cell on which they depend for replication. For example, in the lytic cycle the fully formed herpes simplex virus bursts cells and are seen as a cold sore. DNA viruses can lie dormant within cells in the lysogenic cycle until a trigger switches on some of the viral sequence's genes.

The Probability a Butterfly Can Change the World (Chaos theory): Science in Progress.


In 1687, Isaac Newton explained that movement was caused by forces applied in a straight line. However, movement could not be calculated when influenced by other objects. Carl Friedrich Gauss discovered normal distribution - in normal conditions an ordinary event was more likely to occur than an extraordinary one. His results were explained with a Gaussian curve. The way an object's movement is affected by other objects it touches is known as chaos. There is a higher chance an object will follow the most probable path, but you can never calculate its exact path. In 1890 Henri Poincare reduced the number of uncertainties tied to random events. In the 1960's meteorologist Edward Lorenz mastered chaos with a model that combined statistics and probability. Many aspects of our world are impacted by chaos, but calculations can help reduce the uncertainty of these chaotic events.

The electric kingdom

Arnold, David, 1981-,


When a deadly Fly Flu sweeps the globe, it leaves a shell of the world that once was. Among the survivors are eighteen-year-old Nico and her dog, on a voyage devised by Nico's father to find a mythical portal; a young artist named Kit, raised in an old abandoned cinema; and the enigmatic Deliverer, who lives Life after Life in an attempt to put the world back together. As swarms of infected Flies roam the earth, these few survivors navigate the woods of post-apocalyptic New England, meeting others along the way, each on their own quest to find life and love in a world gone dark. The Electric Kingdom is a sweeping exploration of art, storytelling, eternal life, and above all, a testament to the notion that even in an exterminated world, one person might find beauty in another.
