Steady-state Solutions in an Algebra of Generalized Functions: Lightning, Lightning Rods and Superconductivity
Formulas for the solutions of initial value problems for ordinary differential equations with singular δ-like driving terms are derived in the framework of an algebra of generalized functions (of Colombeau type) over a field of generalized scalars. Some of the solutions might have physical meaning such as of the electrical current after lightning or under superconductivity but do not have count...
متن کاملSVA retrotransposons as modulators of gene expression
Endogenous mobile genetic elements can give rise to de novo germline or somatic mutations that can have dramatic consequences for genome regulation both local and possibly more globally based on the site of integration. However if we consider them as "normal genetic" components of the reference genome then they are likely to modify local chromatin structure which would have an effect on gene re...
متن کاملRetrotransposons as Engines of Human Bodily Transformation
The historical literature suggests that there are unusual physical, as well as psychological, consequences in humans to the attainment of the exalted state of mind known as enlightenment, nirvana or samadhi. These reported changes include, but are not limited to, sudden reversal of aging, emergence of a light body and observed bodily ascension into the sky. This paper proposes a “jumping DNA” o...
متن کاملUtilization of genomic retrotransposons as cladistic markers
Genomic retrotransposons are major genomic components in most eukaryotic organisms. Their abundance in the genome is generally correlated with genome size. These elements spread throughout the genome by a process termed retro-transposition consisting of transcription, reverse transcription and reinsertion of the copied element into a new genomic location. The target sites are relatively unspeci...
متن کاملRetrotransposons
June 27, 1970 was a significant day for our understanding of both the flow of information in biological systems and the evolution of eukaryotic genomes as this was the day that Nature published back-to-back papers reporting the discovery of an enzyme that copies RNA into DNA. This soon became known as reverse transcriptase and the RNA tumour viruses in which it was detected were renamed retrovi...
