Abstract

The action of a human body is composed of a series of momentary movements caused by a volitional effort on the human in the Vaiśesika system. According to the theory of Karma in the Vaiśesika system, when an action is done by a person, it leaves an ethical potency, so called karmā'saya on one's mind. When the potency, karmā'saya is accompanied with the other potency, affliction so called kle'sa in one's mind, it grows up as the seed of a plant and bears the fruit of it. Any person who has the fruit of karmā'saya in one's mind, is made to experience joy or sorrow in the future in accordance with the judgement of the Creator about the fruit of karmā'saya. The affliction is the emotional potency caused by ignorance, e.g. avarice. On the other hand, the first movement of matter is produced by the movement of a mover through the special contact, so called nodana. The first movement produces the vega (the power of motion) in the moved matter. Through nodana, the movement and the vega are correlatively increased. The nodana is impulsive contact, acting between a mover and the moved matter. As I have shown in my paper, "On the theory of movement in Vaiśesika system iin ancient India (II)", the above process of movements of matter throu...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
