    Why does rice need so much water?

    Water intensive Jorth name ninis- th a Whv is rice such a flo- water-intensive cToD? Manv rice-growing systems deliberately flood the fields and most of the water is lost to the air or to the ground. Farmers often maintain shallow flooding to stabilise some nutrient dynamics. In many paddies, water also moves sideways or down the soil unless the field is rich in clav or well sealed. Flooding is an easy way to meet these goals but also expands the exposed water surface, so the total water demand rises. Second, the plant needs COz inside the leaf for photosynthesis. CO2 enters primarily through open open pores also allow water vapour to leave Third, rice is a C3 plant, and C3 photosynthesis is less water-efficient in hot or dry conditions than C4 (e.g. maize). In C3 plants, the main CO-fixing enzyme sometimes reacts with oxygen instead of COz. blant g by the soil. pite ith 3S- of ys is S- ds le, ing top on- nis le e 2 Finally, flooded soils are oxygen-poor because oxygen diffuses slowly through water.

    Genetic Overlap Between Schizophrenia and Bone Health Based on the study published in Genomic Psychiatry, here are the key takeaways regarding the biological link between schizophrenia and skeletal fragility: Core Findings & Genetic Discovery Genetic Overlap Identified: Researchers from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital utilized data from over 500,000 individuals to identify shared genetic patterns between schizophrenia and osteoporosis traits. Specific Skeletal Localization: The shared genetic signals are not uniform across the body; they are most prominent in heel bone strength, while being weaker or absent in other areas like the forearm. Advanced Analysis Techniques: Unlike previous studies that averaged DNA data (where opposing genetic effects often cancelled each other out), this study analyzed DNA regions individually to detect specific overlapping "signals." Mechanisms of Co-existence: The study suggests that specific DNA stretches may influence brain function and bone health through distinct biological processes, rather than one condition directly causing the other. Clinical Context & Lifestyle Factors Pre-existing Health Patterns: It has long been observed that individuals with schizophrenia suffer from weaker bones and higher fracture rates compared to the general population. Impact of Medication: Long-term use of antipsychotic drugs can disrupt metabolism and hormone balance, contributing to bone density loss. Lifestyle Contributions: High rates of smoking, physical inactivity, and vitamin deficiencies among those with schizophrenia further exacerbate the risk of osteoporosis. The "Weight-Bearing" Hypothesis: Professor Feng Liu notes that the heel bone is shaped by whole-body processes like development and metabolism, which may overlap with pathways involved in schizophrenia. Gaps in Psychiatric Care Short-term vs. Long-term Focus: Current clinical attention often focuses on immediate risks of antipsychotics (like sedation or balance issues leading to falls) rather than long-term bone density degradation. Monitoring Deficits: There is currently no standard practice within psychiatry for monitoring bone density or fracture risk, leading to a significant gap in proactive management. The "Silent" Risk: Schizophrenia is typically diagnosed in early adulthood when bone health is rarely a concern, meaning that by the time fragility becomes a medical issue, it is often off the clinician’s radar. Holistic Health Implications Premature Mortality: The findings reinforce the reality that individuals with schizophrenia often die prematurely due to unaddressed or poorly treated non-communicable diseases. Call for Holistic Treatment: While the genetic findings may not immediately change daily clinical protocols, they underscore the need for integrated care that addresses physical health risks alongside mental health treatment.

  • Physics of soft matter in your routine

    Physics of soft matter in your routine
    Jan 19 2026
    The Physics of Soft Matter in Everyday Life Based on the article by Indresh Yadav, here is a detailed breakdown of the science behind common household products like toothpaste and shampoo. Core Definition and Properties Soft Matter Definition: Materials that bridge the gap between solids and liquids, behaving like solids at rest but flowing like liquids when force is applied. Defining Feature: Sensitivity to both force and time. The same material responds differently depending on how hard and how quickly it is pushed. Internal Structure: Unlike hard solids (locked by strong bonds) or simple liquids (small, free-moving molecules), soft matter consists of larger building blocks like droplets, clusters, or macromolecules suspended in fluid. Fragility and Adaptability: The internal forces are weak and easily disrupted, making the structure fragile yet highly adaptable and reversible. Mechanics of Common Products Shampoo (Worm-like Micelles): Contains long, flexible, "worm-like" molecules that are tangled at rest, creating thickness. Under Stress: Shaking or pouring aligns these molecules, allowing them to slide past each other (reducing flow resistance). Molecular Dynamics: The internal network continually breaks and reforms; once motion stops, molecules re-tangle to restore thickness. Toothpaste: Maintains its shape against gravity on a toothbrush but flows easily when squeezed from the tube. Its microscopic structures rearrange under pressure and reassemble once the force is removed. The Field of Rheology Definition: The branch of physics that examines how materials deform and flow under applied stress. Historical Context: Rooted in the Greek philosophy of "panta rhei" (everything flows), suggesting that flow is an inherent feature of all matter given the right conditions. Scientific Insight: Challenges the rigid school-level division of matter into just "solids" and "liquids," showing that these states are often dependent on the timescale of observation. The Pitch Drop Experiment Context: Started in 1927 by Professor Thomas Parnell at the University of Queensland to demonstrate the viscosity of pitch (bitumen). The Goal: To prove that pitch, which appears solid enough to be shattered with a hammer, is actually a liquid. Observations: Pitch has a viscosity approximately 230 billion times that of water. In nearly 100 years, only nine drops have fallen (the ninth was in April 2014). The tenth drop is not expected until approximately 2030. Significance: It serves as the ultimate example of how "solidity" is a matter of perception and time. Conclusion Engineering: Bathroom products are carefully engineered to balance structure and softness. Key Takeaway: The distinction between solid and liquid is not absolute; it is a result of how a material’s internal structure responds to force over specific durations.
