How to use an Oxford Nanopore MinION to extract DNA from river water and determine which bacteria live in it Sample collection Updated 2025-07-16
As you would expect, not much secret here, we just dumped a 1 liter glass bottle with a rope attached around the neck in a few different locations of the river, and pulled it out with the rope.
The same linear address can translate to different physical addresses for different processes, depending only on the value inside
cr3
.Both linear addresses
00002 000
from process 1 and 00004 000
from process 2 point to the same physical address 00003 000
. This is completely allowed by the hardware, and it is up to the operating system to handle such cases.This often in normal operation because of Copy-on-write (COW), which be explained elsewhere.
Such mappings are sometime called "aliases".

x86 Paging Tutorial Identity mapping Updated 2025-07-16
FFFFF 000
points to its own physical address FFFFF 000
. This kind of translation is called an "identity mapping", and can be very convenient for OS-level debugging. Expectation value Updated 2025-07-16
AWS Deep Learning Base GPU AMI (Ubuntu 20.04) Updated 2025-07-16
These come with pre-installed drivers, so e.g. nvidia-smi just works on them out of the box, tested on g5.xlarge which has an Nvidia A10G GPU. Good choice as a starting point for deep learning experiments.

Cis-trans isomerism Updated 2025-07-16
Exist because double bonds don't rotate freely. Have different properties of course, unlike enantiomer.

Enantiomer Updated 2025-07-16
Key exmaple: d and L amino acids. Enantiomers have identical physico-chemical properties. But their biological roles can be very different, because an enzyme might only be able to act on one of them.

- the three most table polymorphs of calcium carbonate polymorphs are:
