I also promise to post findings on /sci/

shit that's so cool

- ants and bees

- how about cats? we can make them glow-in-the-dark, like the genetically engineered pigs in taiwan

>>46
I might have problem bringing live mammals in there. I can only use insects and pests and stuff that peta won't mind hehe

>>47
How about rats? They are mammals but are also pests. You can check if they can still navigate thru mazes, and respond to cat pee.

Also cockroaches, to validate those theories that they will still survive under post-apocalyptic conditions.

>>44
OP, roaches would be nice, so you won't be getting any results.

>>48
rats sounds interesting, :)

Not roaches :( i have a phobia.

>>49
true, i might have trouble getting results

pano ka napunta diyan?

pati, ano ba ang goal ng PNRI? may concrete stuff na ba silang nagawa?

curious lang.

pati san nila ginagamit yung cobalt 60 na yan?

>>52
>pano ka napunta diyan?
I joined their training program this summer

>ano ba ang goal ng PNRI?
To regulate the use of Radioactive Materials in the philippines and advance the peaceful use of nuclear energy in the country.

>may concrete stuff na ba silang nagawa?
actually dati nung maayos pa yung Uranium-based reactor nila (pic related), nag prproduce sila ng mga important radioisotopes like Iodine-131 na ginagamit sa mga ospital natin pang diagnose ng goiter. Ngayon kailangan na nilang i-decomission yun dahil luma na. Ngayon, Co-60 nalang ang active source nila, at ginagamit nila yun para mag sterilize ng Food, Medical Equipment, etc.

>>53
>pati san nila ginagamit yung cobalt 60 na yan?
sa pag sterilize ng mga medical equipment.
radioactive kasi ang Co-60, tapos nag eemitt ng gamma radiation. ayun. :P

ok cool salamat

>>56
>I joined their training program this summer

kung kunyari lang gusto ko rin mag-join sa mga ganyan, ano kailangan? as in graduate na o kahit estudyante pa lang...


>para mag sterilize ng Food, Medical Equipment, etc.

ibig sabihin irradiated yung mga food products sa mga supermarket dito? O.o

>>63
>kung kunyari lang gusto ko rin mag-join sa mga ganyan, ano kailangan?

punta ka sa website nila, may mga trainings offered dun :) pnri.dost.gov.ph ata. pag nag aaral ka pa, pwede kang mag OJT dun, masaya sila pag may nag OJT dun.

>ibig sabihin irradiated yung mga food products sa mga supermarket dito? O.o

yung iba oo :) pero indi ibig sabihin contaminated sila ng radioactive products. pinasadahan lang sila ng gamma rays, energy transfer lang.

>>66

wow olrayt salamat.

>>44
Since i'm scared of roaches, and cats will have PAWs dumping burning crosses on my backyard, I have decided to go ahead with Spiders.

I have 20+ spiders, and I chose 5 of the healthiest, and this is my plan:
1 spider: Control (meaning i won't touch it)
4 spiders: will go under various radiation doses ranging from 100-400 Grays in increments of 100 Grays.

I present to you the control spider.
Alias "Negro" (because he's 95% black)

>>75
Here's Spider no. 1, which will undergo 100 Grays of radiation. "Batman" dahil parang may batman shape siya sa thorax niya.

>>76
Spider 2 is a feisty one. He's always spread out like that and he's very aggro! I've fed him a smaller spider already.

>>77
i guess i thought of a friend when i named this spider. don't ask me how i came to think of that word. o_O

>>78
the name's kinda nice.

>>79
whatchu guise think? o btw, i'll be using this tripcode so you'll know i'm OP.

W00T /sci/! we're actually doing something more productive than the other chans!

Astig, talagang may name pa ha. Swerte si Negro. Doktor Oktopus looks dangerous. Boy Tsino looks like a fly. Bakit El Pedo?

It would have been better if all were of the same specie.

What do you plan to do with the other 15?

Parang kulang yung number to establish experimental validity. I think you should have more than 1 spider for each group. This is also to guard against errors.

Well I hope you'll get interesting results. Post your results again :)

>>77
yuck canibalistic pala. how do you feed all those spiders?

>>81
yep i plan tatlong spider bawat dose. hindi ko pa napipili yung iba. hehe actually yung mga excess spiders ipapakain ko nalang sa mga "chosen ones" heheh.

tapos mahirap kumuha ng same species :( i need a taxonomist

>>82
cotton + coke

>>79
hoy what's happening na? how's this little fella doing?

>>91
He has mutated into something we don't know.

>>91
Fried or inadobo.

hoy pinoyscientist, we are waiting for your results!

>>96
sorry mga chong wait lang

>>96
sorry for the delay. i had a lot in my hands in the last week. umm ok here goes. Before I irradiated them I built housing for them using caimito leaves.

>>98
that's a picture of my "technical assistant" putting water drops onto the spiders after feeding it with a smaller spider

alias Negro, the control:
The spider spun a complete web (frame, circular structure) within two days after being released into the simulated habitat container. Spider eats normally, and remains active.

My camera can't make clear shots of the web. bummer

The sad story about "Gagambang Batman" is, he died right before the irradiation. so i replaced it with this doofus spider i call "substitute". This is what it looked like before irradiation.

>>101
after irradiating it under 100 Gy:
The spider is inactive, mostly staying in one place behind a leaf. It is fed with a smaller spider. It managed to spin a web but the web was not complete.

Doktor Oktopus is still aggro suprisingly.
The spider managed to spin an erratic web. It still eats normally though.

However, I noticed that his skills in producing webs have diminished greatly. I see him trying to get the goo out of its silk glands in vain.

Boy Tsino did not make a web. It ate normally, and was mostly inactive. -.-" im surprised that this thing is still alive.

El Pedo was still alive at 400Gy (humans can only take up to 5 Gy before they fall and die on the spot)! And you know what. She was a girl all along -.-" She layed a fuckton of eggs after the irradiation, i couldnt get clear shots cuz of my great camera. Anyhow, the eggs i believe are going to be spawning mutant spiders (some chromosomal aberrations must have occurred during the irradiation i presume) so i destroyed all of them.

El Pedo had difficulty in spinning a web over the smaller spider which it was supposed to eat. Though it had capabilities to produce small amounts of silk, it was not able to produce a web.

and for the conclusion (very, very anticlimactic):

The spiders that received 300Gy and 400Gy radiation dosages had difficulties in producing silk. They showed no major behavioral changes.

>>106
How about trying to mate them with other radiated spiders? If they bear eggs, the conclusion is they can still reproduce after a nuclear attack.

>>100
100GET is Alias Negro

>>98
sosyal ha, may technical assistant pa

Why did you destroy the eggs? Could be interesting if they hatch.

I know radiation causes mutations and cancers and stuff, but on the spot, how does a human die from radiation? Organ failures or something?

What makes spiders (or other animals) able to withstand more exposure to radiation? Is it their exoskeleton?

>>107
I don't have time to continue the research hehe.

>I know radiation causes mutations and cancers and stuff, but on the spot, how does a human die from radiation? Organ failures or something?

Cells can either die, mutate or self-repair from radiation. Organ cells can die from too much radiation but it will take time before you die, like a couple of days. You die from the mutated cells replicating and blocking the organ functionalities.

>What makes spiders (or other animals) able to withstand more exposure to radiation? Is it their exoskeleton?

Quick explanation: Less complicated biology means less organs to malfunction when exposed, some organs are more sensitive to other organs and humans have a whole plethora of organs some resistant some sensitive. Insects have the organs that are less sensitive to radiation.

>>105
LOL!

Philippines has a NUCLEAR research center?

>>122
its too good to be true

>>122
Yep, we were actually a nuclear-enabled state since the 1950's.... one of the firsts in Asia.
Now we're gonna be left behind by Viet Nam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

can you irradiate a person to become like the Fantastic Four?

>>129
Your cells will mutate that's for sure. But there's a big big chance that the mutation is for the worse (limbs falling off due to weaker cells etc)..

>>129
no but you'll get cancer or a new kind of radiation disease

9000 GY. Too much?

Cure for radiation sickness found?

gago ba't mo pinatay yung eggs. magkakaspider-man na sana tayo

1. lock self in chamber
2. set your clock five minutes to midnight
3. slowly rebuild yourself

Chronic Radiation Is Beneficial to Human Beings ?
http://www.scienceboard.net/community/perspectives.122.html

hurp we're already under a lot of consistent radiation

microwaves for cellphones

>>44
I want you to irradiate a taco from Pancake House.

>>512
and then?

>>513
feed it to unsuspecting colleagues? what else? haha

>>105

DEMMET!!!! DO IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER FEMALE AND LET'S SEE WHAT KIND OF BROOD SHE'LL BE HAVING!!!!

pero yoko makagat nyan... pakagat mo na lang sa pusa or sa daga and see what happens hihihi
