E.g. in humans the adenine nucleotide translocator is present in chromosome 4, not in mtDNA.

These have almost certainly been transferred to nuclear DNA in the course of evolution.

This isn't completely surprising, since when mitochondria die, their DNA is kind of left in the cell, so it is not hard to imagine how genes end up getting uptaken by the nucleus. This is suggested at Power, Sex, Suicide by Nick Lane (2006) page 196.

A limiting factor appears to be that you can't just past those genes in the nucleus, further mutations are necessary for mitochondrial protein import to work, apparenty some kind of tagging with extra amino acids.

However, you likely don't want to remove all genes from the mitochondria because mitochondria have DNA because they need to be controlled individually.

It has to swim fast, right!

So how is it that mitochondria are not inherited from the father?

The matrix representation of the symmetric bilinear form that is the Minkowski inner product.

Since that is a symmetric bilinear form, the associated matrix is a symmetric matrix.

By default, we will use the time negative representation unless stated otherwise:but another equivalent one is to use a time positive representation:The matrix is typically denoted by the Greek letter eta.

Microbit simulator using some Microsoft framework.

TODO the Python code from there does not seem to run on the microbit via uflash, because it is not MicroPython.

support.microbit.org/support/solutions/articles/19000111744-makecode-python-and-micropython explains.

forum.makecode.com/t/help-understanding-local-build-options/6130 asks how to compile locally and suggests it is possible. Seems to require Yotta, so presumably compiles?

Presumably this is because Microsoft ported their MakeCode thing to the MicroBit, and the Micro Bit foundation accepted them.

E.g. there toggling a LED:but the code that works locally is a completely differently named API set_pixel:Microsoft going all in on adopt extend extinguish from an early age!

Conceptually the simplest mesons. All of them have neutral color charge:

One strange quark bound with one up quark or a down quark. 6 combinations exist, 4 if we consider antiparticles the same as particles.

Relates particle momentum and its wavelength, or equivalently, energy and frequency.

The wavelength relation is:but since:the wavelength relation implies:

Particle wavelength can be for example measured very directly on a double-slit experiment.

So if we take for example electrons of different speeds, we should be able to see the diffraction pattern change accordingly.

CC BY-NC-SA unfortunately.

Upload is actually optional, and it appears that teachers do retain their copyright: ocw.mit.edu/ans7870/global/MIT_OpenCourseWare_FAQs.pdf Hmmm, so how have they convinced so many teachers to do it?

Made huge advances in radar.

Notably, Isidor Isaac Rabi was a leading figure there, and later he was head at the Columbia University laboratory that carried out the crucial Lamb-Retherford experiment and the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the electron published at The Magnetic Moment of the Electron by Kusch and Foley (1948) using related techniques.

The first human-made nuclear chain reaction.

Plutonium-based.

Its plutonium was produced at Hanford site.

Los Alamos Laboratory was the name of the Los Alamos National Laboratory site during the Manhattan Project, before it was renamed to Los Alamos National Laboratory.

However, many, many, many terrible horrors come with it:
