Cost and availability, especially at the higher capacities. Note that HGST was bought out by WD in 2012, and WD started sunsetting the HGST brand in 2018.
- How much would you expect to spend if you were to pay all the bribes? Are you unable to afford them, or is this more of a moral issue?
- Is there any reason why you are effectively purchasing agricultural land and rezoning it to industrial land, rather than buying existing industrial land? What is your plan if you cannot obtain all the necessary NOCs?
- Is there any utility/road/rail access to your land? If not, have you looked into how much it will cost to build the necessary infrastructure?
- Is the area at risk for natural disasters (especially flooding)?
Not paying bribe because of moral issues as well as the fact that I could buy 10 MacBook Pro's with that much money.
There are agents who provide the "NA service". They quoted me 10,00,000 (10 Lakh or 1 Million Rupees) excluding all the legal payments to government.
All land is Agricultural Land by default. Industrial land banks (created by MIDC are few and far and our land is near a MIDC industrial land bank which is out of stock, meaning completely bought out)
Yes there is road access.
No. the land is almost barren land. Far away from flooding. So no problem with natural disasters.
I think the point is that since the power available at these wavelengths vary sharply with frequency in these regions of the solar spectrum, the plant can easily compensate for brightness fluctuations in these portions of the spectrum with minor tweaks to the target wavelength of the relevant photosystems
I'd this is the case, it's a shame the article didn't mention it.
It makes sense the changing environmental conditions for a molecule could affect the wavelengths of light it absorbs (for example, pH, temperature, etc), but I'm not sure this has been demonstrated for plant pigments?
In principle plants have several different variants of the light absorbing molecules with different absorption spectra but I don't know how this would actually be regulated. But it is certainly imaginable that plants vary the relative abundance of the different light absorbing molecules or their efficiencies and this could be more or less automatic because of varying conditions like pH or whatnot that affects efficiency or lifetime of the molecules with a simple feedback mechanism or it could be actively regulated by a more complex feedback loop.
Yep, they now exist in capacities of up to 1 TB. Also, SanDisk were the first (and probably only) company to sell 200/400 GB microSD cards, supposedly so that they could lay claim to having the highest capacity micro SD card.
The 1 cup of quinoa that you added to the start contributes the final missing cup (its packing ratio does not change much, it's just the water that changes its packing ratio).
No, the difference is that at the beginning there is water between the packed dry quinoa grains, while at the end there is air between the packed cooked quinoa grains. That air is the missing cup.
Actually that can't work, the cup of quinoa has air between balls as well. It does have less air because the volume of the balls increases, but the math has to be done from scratch.
Because Mars and Earth takes different amounts of time to complete an orbit around the Sun, launching at the right point in time is absolutely essential to ensure that your transfer orbit takes you to the distance of Mars' orbit at the exact point in time that Mars will happen to be there. You can mess around with your transfer orbit parameters to give you a bit of leeway, but ultimately limits on available delta V and on maximum relative velocity on encounter limit the window of time that you have to launch your mission.

They have until mid August to launch the mission[0]. If not, the additional cost of keeping personnel employed and hardware maintained for the next 2 years or so while waiting for Earth and Mars to return to the same relative positions can easily cost $150m, if the InSight mission delay is any guide.

Well, yes, NASA does rely a lot on external contractors due to the budgetary flexibility it entails. While there is some cross-communication between teams, it's generally limited by the extreme degree of specialisation needed. Also, as a general rule almost all of the hardware for any given mission is custom built for that mission, so the necessary knowhow to operate it is both unique and irreplaceable.
That said, some of the extra cost is due to scope creep, or due to changes in launch vehicle availability requiring the mission to be redesigned.
There are many ways to do this, but the easiest way is to look at the Network tab in the browser developer tools as you load the page, type an address in, and generate the code.
Well, antibiotic use is associated with diarrhoea and increased risk of C. difficile infections for this very reason. But the gut eventually gets recolonised by commensal bacteria - either from food or from the appendix[0]. In the worst case, we could always resort to probiotics or fecal transplants.
