The Healthy Glow of Carrots
We have probably all heard that carrots are good for our health, particularly for our eye health. This is primarily due to the very high levels of vitamin A and its natural precursor, beta-carotene, in carrots. In fact, a single cup of carrots has been reported to provide over 650% of our daily needs for vitamin A, which is simply amazing. In addition to being rich in vitamin A, carrots are a v...
متن کاملGlow Clustering
We introduce Glow Clustering, a clustering technique inspired by the physics of light and the images of spiral galaxies. We discuss the genesis, design, and implementation of Glow Clustering. We evaluate Glow Clustering on test datasets and a well-known standard dataset. Finally, we attempt to describe the characteristics of Glow Clustering, giving some insight into the context of use where Glo...
متن کاملThe Price of Warm Glow
The Price of Warm Glow This paper presents a model and experimental evidence to explain the “volunteering puzzle" where agents prefer volunteering time to donating money when monetary donations are, ceteris paribus, more efficient for providing resources to charity. In the model agents receive heterogeneous utility from pure and impure altruism (Andreoni 1989) that permits warm glow to vary bet...
متن کاملWhy did the UV-A-induced photoluminescent blue–green glow in trilobite eyes and exoskeletons not cause problems for trilobites?
The calcitic lenses in the eyes of Palaeozoic trilobites are unique in the animal kingdom, although the use of calcite would have conveyed great advantages for vision in aquatic systems. Calcite lenses are transparent, and due to their high refractive index they would facilitate the focusing of light. In some respects, however, calcite lenses bear evident disadvantages. Birefringence would caus...
متن کاملColour vision in the glow-worm Lampyris noctiluca (L.) (Coleoptera: Lampyridae): evidence for a green-blue chromatic mechanism.
Male glow-worms Lampyris noctiluca find their bioluminescent mates at night by phototaxis. There is good evidence that location of mates by lampyrid beetles is achieved by a single spectral class of photoreceptor, whose spectral sensitivity is tuned to the bioluminescent spectrum emitted by conspecifics, and is achromatic. We ask whether glow-worm phototaxis involves interactions between two sp...
