  2. Alcohol and spaceflight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_and_spaceflight

    Alcohol is generally disallowed in spaceflight, but space agencies have previously allowed its consumption. [1] NASA has been stricter about alcohol consumption than the Roscosmos, both according to regulations and in practice. Astronauts and cosmonauts are restricted from being intoxicated at launch.

  4. Alcohol does not necessarily kill brain cells. [375] Alcohol can, however, lead indirectly to the death of brain cells in two ways. First, in chronic, heavy alcohol users whose brains have adapted to the effects of alcohol, abrupt ceasing following heavy use can cause excitotoxicity leading to cellular death in multiple areas of the brain.

    Resinous glaze is an alcohol-based solution of various types of food-grade shellac.The shellac is derived from the raw material sticklac, which is a resin scraped from the branches of trees left from when the small insect, Kerria lacca (also known as Laccifer lacca), creates a hard, waterproof cocoon.

  6. Theoretical astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_astronomy

    Theoretical astronomers use a wide variety of tools which include analytical models (for example, polytropes to approximate the behaviors of a star) and computational numerical simulations. Each has some advantages. Analytical models of a process are generally better for giving insight into the heart of what is going on.

  7. Gastrophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrophysics

    The relation between gastrophysics and gastronomy can be seen as analogous to the relation between astrophysics and astronomy. [7] Astronomers observe planets and stars, and describe where they are and how they move. Astrophysicists explain why the planets and stars are where they are, and how they got there.
