Bones of the human body.
Swelllllll (ok yeah, I’m on a serious rampage of bio-related images today, sorry guys :P it’s the coffee, honest, I’ll go back to my biofilm paper now :P)

It’s beautiful. Lol, serious.

36Arches and contact forces in a granular pile. »
Authors: C. Manuel Carlevaro, Luis A. Pugnaloni
Assemblies of granular particles mechanically stable under their own weight contain arches. These are structural units identified as sets of mutually stable grains. It is generally assumed that these arches shield the weight above them and should bear most of the stress in the system. We test such hypothesis by studying the stress born by in-arch and out-of-arch grains. We show that, indeed, particles in arches withstand larger stresses. In particular, the isotropic stress tends to be larger for in-arch-grains whereas the anisotropic component is marginally distinguishable between the two types of particles. The contact force distributions demonstrate that an exponential tail (compatible with the maximization of entropy under no extra constraints) is followed only by the out-of-arch contacts. In-arch contacts seem to be compatible with a Gaussian distribution consistent with a recently introduced approach that takes into account constraints imposed by the local force balance on grains.

I love Levi the Poet.
He’s so epic. Seriously.

374GUyyyyssss!!!!
I found the most EPIC tumblrs EVER!!! (for those of you who are biology nerds lol)
CHECK THESE OUT!!! *muffled screams of excitement*
(^^can’t even begin to describe all the awesome there!)
(^^ asdfjkl, the pictures. The beauty. The AWESOME!)
(^^stands for biomedical picture of the day. Seriously? SWEET!)

If anyone can find this paper and tell me WHERE I can get it, I would be much appreciated :P I’ve looked all over and I can only find citations :/
For those of you interested in the synopsis of this paper, it’s more or less about how Myxococcus xanthus attracts Escherichia coli in a biofilm community for cytosis. GAH! It looks SO interesting!!! But I can’t find it anywhere :P so if you happen to come upon it by any chance, I would love to know where I can find the copy (preferably online lol).
That is all.
