Ciro Santilli's energy throughout the day varies as follows:

Ciro has low tolerance to sleep deprivation which makes him very irritable, and low ability to sleep if there is any light. It must have to do with those damned ganglion cell photoreceptors. On the other hand, Ciro Santilli's wife can sleep without any problems with some morning light! It is definitely genetic. Ciro conjectures that people from very Northern parts of the world must have a gene that allows them to sleep even if there is some light, while more equatorial people don't. Maybe: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33049062/

Ciro has mild olfactory synesthesia for star anise (八角, bajiao), which is widely used in Chinese cuisine and makes Ciro think uncontrollably of the color blue. Ciro does not have any other known synesthesias. He is also prone to nerd sniping form time to time.

Ciro is a reptilian-like being with cold hands and feet and low blood pressure. For this reason he believes that he will die of cancer or some respiratory problem. If the Chinese government doesn't get him first that is. This also partly explains why Ciro is not a big fan of swimming.

Besides Chinese food, Ciro really likes eating fruits and roasted nuts, maybe partly because he was born in Brazil, and partly because of monkey nature, see his Chinese name. At home he is known as "水果大王" (the big king of the fruits). Ciro is also a sucker for yoghurt (natural without added sugars and full fat, fat-tree yoghurt is terrible, often eaten with fruits). Ciro's "favorite drink" could be tonic water with freshly squeezed lemon. Tied with fresh fruit juices. Chocolate-wise, although not a huge fanatic, a Lindt dark chocolate with whole hazelnut pieces bar will do the job.

Ciro does not like receiving or giving gifts on expected social situations like birthdays or Christmas. Ciro believes that every day is equally precious, and can be a day to give, be it through awesome open source software contributions, or if you find something that your friend will like

Ciro has some respiratory allergies. When he was around 5, he had relatively serious asthma crisis which scared his parents to death. Throughout his life, he appears to be allergic at an intermediate level to: mold or dust mites (or whatever it is that old books/pillows have), cats (itching on touch), hay fever (in May in the UK, likely grass pollen). But even outside of hayfever season, Ciro's nose is constantly either running in the cold, or often partially blocked while sleeping throughout the year. Ciro believes however that this also gives him higher resistance to viral infections, since it has been many many years since he had a cold/flu, and when everyone in the office is going down with it, he's just fine. Ciro wonders if his active immune system will actually kill off cancers early, which he ranks as his most likely causes of death, along with respiratory and gastro-intestinal problems. Ciro has low blood pressure and cannot get fat, so cardio vascular problems seem much less likely.

Ciro is generally democrat due to his high compassion level. He believes that politics is highly genetically determined, and that just like you enter a room full of people and immediately like some and dislike others, the same goes for politics. People just vote for whoever they want to see more of because their way of speaking makes them feel good. There is not rationality involved in it at all.

Ciro self diagnoses a slight graphomania in the early 2020's. This is largely what led him to create OurBigBook.com, and contribute to Stack Overflow. Literature Nobel Prize laureate Naguib Mahfouz also suffers from the condition however, so maybe good can also come out of it:

When Ciro was quite young, maybe around 7-10, when he got very angry or sad for some stupid reason (bullying perhaps? Ciro forgot), he would have a psychosomatic manifestation: his spine would become visibly curved sideways (scoliosis). While writing this paragraph, Ciro Googled it, and found e.g. medium.com/@michaelrosen_94192/the-root-cause-of-scoliosis-5c461002b634 that describes:so it is a somewhat well known thing! Incredible. Can you imagine the level of the passions that lead to such physical deformations? But of course, it was all for nothing.

It would be really cool to have a PageRank-link algorithm that answers the key questions:However, Ciro has decided to leave this for phase two action plan, because it is impossible to tune such an algorithm if you have no users or test data.

Perhaps it is also worth looking into ExpertRank, they appear to do some kind of "expert in this area", but with clustering (unlike us, where the clustering would be more explicit).

Unipept is a web-based platform designed for the analysis and interpretation of mass spectrometry-based peptide sequencing data. It provides tools for researchers to visualize and explore protein sequences, identify peptides, and understand their biological implications. Unipept allows users to input their mass spectrometry data, and it helps them identify proteins, visualize peptide occurrence and variability, and explore functional annotations.

The McShane integral is a concept in real analysis that extends the notion of the Riemann integral to certain situations where the Riemann integral may not be applicable. It is named after the mathematician James McShane. ### Definition The McShane integral is defined for bounded functions on an interval \([a, b]\) in such a way that it can handle some functions that are not Riemann integrable due to issues like discontinuities.

Thermodynamic systems refer to a specific portion of the physical universe that is being studied, with precise boundaries separating it from its surroundings. In thermodynamics, understanding systems is crucial as it allows for the analysis of energy interactions, phase changes, work, and heat transfer. There are three main types of thermodynamic systems: 1. **Open System**: An open system can exchange both energy and matter with its surroundings.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is a branch of thermodynamics that deals with systems that are not in thermodynamic equilibrium. While classical thermodynamics primarily focuses on systems at equilibrium where macroscopic properties are well-defined and stable, many real-world processes occur far from equilibrium, involving gradients in temperature, pressure, concentration, or other thermodynamic variables.

Abstract algebra is a branch of mathematics that studies algebraic structures, which are sets equipped with operations that satisfy certain axioms. The main algebraic structures studied in abstract algebra include: 1. **Groups**: A group is a set equipped with a single binary operation that satisfies four properties: closure, associativity, the existence of an identity element, and the existence of inverses. Groups can be finite or infinite and are foundational in many areas of mathematics.

Mathematics-related lists can refer to various collections or categorizations of mathematical concepts, topics, theories, formulas, famous mathematicians, and more. Here are some examples of what mathematics-related lists might include: 1. **Branches of Mathematics**: - Algebra - Geometry - Calculus - Statistics - Number Theory - Combinatorics - Topology - Logic - Discrete Mathematics 2.

In the context of Wikipedia, a "stub" is a term used to describe a page that is considered to be incomplete or underdeveloped. Specifically, a "Mathematics stub" refers to a Wikipedia entry related to mathematics that does not have enough information to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. These stubs are often marked with a template that indicates they are incomplete and encourages users to expand them by adding more content, references, and resources.

There's a billion simple looking expressions which are not known to be transcendental numbers or not. It's cute simple to state but hard to prove at its best.

Physical phenomena refer to observable events or occurrences in the natural world that are governed by the laws of physics. These phenomena can be categorized into various types based on their characteristics and the physical principles that describe them. Examples of physical phenomena include: 1. **Motion**: The movement of objects, including concepts like velocity, acceleration, and momentum. 2. **Forces**: Interactions that cause changes in motion, such as gravitational, electromagnetic, and nuclear forces.

A physical object is anything that has a tangible presence and occupies space. This means that it has specific dimensions (length, width, height), mass, and is made of matter, which can be solid, liquid, or gas. Physical objects can be perceived through our senses, particularly sight and touch.

Quantum non-equilibrium refers to the state of a quantum system that is not in thermodynamic equilibrium. In thermodynamics, systems at equilibrium exhibit well-defined macroscopic properties, such as temperature and pressure, and statistical distributions of their internal states (like the Boltzmann distribution). In contrast, non-equilibrium systems display time-dependent behavior and can have spatial gradients in quantities such as temperature, chemical potential, and density.

Historians of mathematics are scholars who study the development, context, and impact of mathematical ideas throughout history. This field, often referred to as the history of mathematics, involves examining ancient texts, manuscripts, and artifacts to understand how mathematical concepts, techniques, and practices evolved over time and how they influenced various cultures and societies.

The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient Greek analog device, believed to be one of the earliest known mechanical computers. It was discovered in a shipwreck off the coast of the Greek island Antikythera in 1901 and dates to around 150-100 BCE. The device is made up of a complex system of gears and is thought to have been used to calculate astronomical positions and predict celestial events, such as eclipses and the positions of the sun and moon.

"Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha" is a significant historical text in the field of mathematics, particularly in Indian mathematics. Written by the mathematician Bhāskara I in the 7th century CE, it serves as a concise compilation of various mathematical concepts and methods. The title translates to "Essence of Mathematics" or "Compendium of Mathematics." The work is primarily notable for its early treatment of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.
