Infections and age change the odor of wine and people

Summary: Food energy is a direct link from electron spin via changes, which link the sense of smell in bacteria from changes in angstroms to ecosystems in all living genera.

Fruity with a note of fungus: How fungal infections change the aroma of wine

…while bunch rot actually led to more positive aroma ratings due to the increased levels of fruity- and vanilla-like notes, powdery mildew decreased the level of pleasant notes in the wine, so that it received more negative ratings…

“The study shows us that the human brain is actually very good at discovering this and that this discovery motivates avoidance behaviour,” says principal investigator Professor Mats Olsson at Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Clinical Neuroscience.

Pale Rider: the Spanish flu of 1918 and how it changed the world

“No-one ever talks about the Spanish flu,” he said, “but 2018 is the centenary of that, too. And unless I’m mistaken, it killed more than the First World War.”

Bill Gates warns tens of millions could be killed by bio-terrorism

Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft who has spent billions in a philanthropic drive to improve health worldwide, said: “The next epidemic could originate on the computer screen of a terrorist intent on using genetic engineering to create a synthetic version of the smallpox virus … or a super contagious and deadly strain of the flu.”

Who rules the waves? – Viruses might just be bit players in the drama of the seas. Then again, they could be major actors

reported as: Where do viruses come from?

…when virus-infected bacterial cells burst, their energy-rich cell contents spill into the water for other bacteria to scavenge. ‘Viruses tend to keep nutrients away from the big stuff and keep them going around in the little stuff,’ says Fuhrman. If so, viruses have shaped the entire structure of the ecosystem.”

Edging Closer to a Winner for Major New Frontiers Research Award

Frontiers researchers also identified strong trends in the plant sciences. Here teams looked at are at how the relationship between microbes and plants may influence agriculture – and in the future may help us build a more sustainable world. In other research also focusing on microbes scientists looked at how the hidden world of microbes that cover us inside and outside are silently shaping us and our environment. One big question is – are we our own microbiome?

That has not been a big question since the time Schrodinger answered it in “What is Life?“

Indeed, in the case of higher animals we know the kind of orderliness they feed upon well enough, viz. the extremely well-ordered state of matter in more or less complicated organic compounds, which serve them as foodstuffs. After utilizing it they return it in a very much degraded form -not entirely degraded, however, for plants can still make use of it. (These, of course, have their most power supply of ‘negative entropy’ the sunlight.) (pp. 73 and 74)

The orderliness of life is energy-dependent. Virus-driven energy theft causes the degradation of messenger RNA that links mutations to the changes in the odor of wine and people to the ability to detect the pathology.

Natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality establishes the fact that the link from food energy to the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction exemplifies “agency.” That will be the topic of my third interview with J.A. Parker​, the founder of “Quantum Souls.” The interview will be posted to her domain.

“Our results establish a possible link between (un)consciousness in flies and electron currents detectable by a change in a quantum observable, electron spin.”

Food energy is a direct link from electron spin via changes, which link the sense of smell in bacteria from changes in angstroms to ecosystems in all living genera.

Reported as: Scientists investigate how the sense of smell works in bacteria

…the signaling and inactive states differ only very slightly at the nitrate-binding site – by 0.5-1 angstroms, which is approximately one fifth of the size of the ion itself (1 angstrom is 10-10 meters). However, when this ion binds to the sensor, it causes huge changes in the protein: The helices of different monomers begin to move in different directions, like pistons. These “pistons” transmit the small change of 0.5-1 angstroms through the membrane, and their outer ends shift by approximately 2.5 angstroms in different directions. Inside the cell, in the HAMP domain, these shifts are converted into the rotation of two parts of NarQ relative to each other. Ultimately, the positions of the output helices change by as much as 7 angstroms, thus completing the signal transmission.

…agency has been transferred to natural selection, which “becomes rather like an occult Power of the pre-scientific age — all in order to render ‘illusory,’ and indeed to usurp, the visible agency of the organism.
