Receptor - interacting protein kinase 2 (RIP2 or RICK, herein referred to
as RIPK2) is linked to the pathogen pathway that activates
nuclear factor κ - light - chain - enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB) and autophagic activation.
These markers include
nuclear foci of phosphorylated histone H2AX and their co-localization with DNA repair and DNA damage checkpoint
factors such
as 53BP1, MDC1 and NBS1.
Another terpene, α - pinene is released by plants
as a volatile defense mechanism, yet seems to decrease inflammation by inhibiting NF - κB (
Nuclear Factor Kappa B).11 NF - κB regulates our immune response and is turned on in response to harmful states like infection.
Another more common example is cigarette smoke, which causes chronic inflammation in the lungs, producing oxidation (and free - radicals) and leads to DNA damage and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
as well
as lung cancer.6 A hallmark of both of these processes in the activation of
nuclear factor - Kappa B (NF - KB), which is a protein complex that the body produces in response to inflammation, free radicals, cytokines, all hallmarks of stress.
In addition, LA promoted inflammatory processes activating the
nuclear factor - κB transcription
factor as well
as stimulating the expression of cyclooxygenase - 2 and pro-inflammatory cytokines.
The vitamin A — RXR - alpha complex «dimerizes» with these other
nuclear receptors, forming a new complex that acts
as a transcription
factor to turn on gene expression.
Zinc assists in regulating an immune system protein called NF - kB (
Nuclear FActor - kappa Beta) by reducing inflammation and serving
as an antioxidant to prevent oxidative stress.
Several astronomical
factors affect the climate of the earth; the Sun gets brighter over time
as it moves along the main sequence, and the Earth gradually drifts further away from the sun
as the mass of the sun drops (Solar wind,
nuclear conversion).
Rough calculations show if you drill about a dozen mine shafts
as deep
as possible into the thing, and plunk megaton
nuclear bombs down there, and then fire them off simultaneously, you'll get a repeat of the Long Valley Caldera explosion of about 800,000 years ago — which coated everything east of it with miles of ash and injected a giant aerosol cloud into the stratosphere — the ash layer alone formed a triangle stretching from the caldera to Louisiana to North Dakota, including all of Arizona and most of Idaho and everything in between — I bet that would have a cooling
factor of at least -30 W / m ^ 2 — and you could go and do the Yellowstone Plateau at the same time — geoengineering at its finest.
They agree with me in such statements
as «'' A critical
factor for the future of an expanded
nuclear power industry is the choice of the fuel cycle — what type of fuel is used, what types of reactors «burn» the fuel, and the method of disposal of the spent fuel.

With wind forecasting, changes in wind energy output are
factored into grid operations much like variations in demand — both change over a matter of 30 minutes or even hours (not a matter of seconds, such
as when fossil - fuelled or
nuclear plants experience an unexpected outage, or a tree falls on a transmission line).
Nuclear power would provide many other benefits
as well: energy security, reliable energy supply, reduce shipping costs and energy used in shipping coal by a
factor of 20,000 to 2 million, provide fresh water, no need for carbon pricing, avoid 1 million fatalities per year by 2050,... https://judithcurry.com/2012/08/17/learning-from-the-octopus/#comment-231867.
Add to this the fact that an increase in
nuclear reactors will lead to a depletion of uranium stocks within a century - unless you
factor in «breeder reactors» that have so far been shunned
as they can produce weapons - grade
nuclear materials - and
nuclear ambitions start to look decidedly shaky.

As shown in Tables 2A and 2B, among the no - carbon energy alternatives,
nuclear plants avoid the most emissions per MW of new capacity, simply because
nuclear plants have far and away the highest capacity
factor.
-- Muller believes humans are changing climate with CO2 emissions — humans have been responsible for «most» of a 0.4 C warming since 1957, almost none of the warming before then — IPCC is in trouble due to sloppy science, exaggerated predictions; chairman will have to resign — the «Climategate» mails were not «hacked» — they were «leaked» by an insider — due to «hide the decline» deception, Muller will not read any future papers by Michael Mann — there has been no increase in hurricanes or tornadoes due to global warming — automobiles are insignificant in overall picture — China is the major CO2 producer, considerably more than USA today — # 1 priority for China is growth of economy — global warming is not considered important — China CO2 efficiency (GDP per ton CO2) is around one - fourth of USA today, has much room for improvement — China growth will make per capita CO2 emissions at same level
as USA today by year 2040 — if it is «not profitable» it is «not sustainable» — US energy future depends on shale gas for automobiles; hydrogen will not be a
factor — nor will electric cars, due to high cost — Muller is upbeat on
nuclear (this was recorded pre-Fukushima)-- there has been no warming in the USA — Muller was not convinced of Hansen's GISS temperature record; hopes BEST will provide a better record.
Other alternatives such
as fuel from foodstocks, liquifaction of coal,
nuclear, solar thermal, windmills, etc. are pretty far removed from the Moore's Law enabling
factors so you're on target there but you didn't need to spray the guy with a mini-gun when far less would suffice to make your point.
Nevertheless,
as shown in the figure, these combined capacity
factors for wind and solar are far less than those for the dispatchable technologies — natural gas, coal, and
nuclear.
As an example, the 1,532 MW of emissions - free Bruce
Nuclear refurbished generation, at a capacity
factor of 90 % supplying 12.08 TWh, easily covered the loss of 4.1 TWh of coal - fired generation and left 8.7 TWh for added demand due to its flexibility to steam off or bypass the turbines.
The indicators emissions per capita, emissions per GDP and CO2 / kWh are adjusted
as if the generation of electricity from
nuclear power had produced 350 gCO2 / kWh (emission
factor for natural gas).
The main reason was that growth in renewables and
nuclear power could not keep up with increased electricity demand, even though some sources have cited a drought - induced drop in hydropower output
as a
factor in the rebounding coal consumption.
On the other hand, it is reasonable to assume that natural market
factors will gradually result in a reduction of ever more expensive fossil fuel combustion
as older coal - fired power plants are shut down and replaced by
nuclear plants,
as hybrid and electrical cars gradually replace gasoline and diesel driven ones, and
as energy efficiency is improved and waste reduced.
[3] Each state has interim targets it must meet beginning in 2020, and the EPA proposed that states use a combination of four «building blocks» to achieve the emissions reductions: (1) improving the efficiency (heat rate) of existing coal - fired power plants; (2) switching from coal - fired power by increasing the use and capacity
factor, or efficiency, of natural - gas combined - cycle power plants; (3) using less carbon - intensive generating power, such
as renewable energy or
nuclear power; and (4) increasing demand - side energy - efficiency measures.
Owing to their high capital cost, low fuel cost, and high capacity
factors, technologies such
as coal and
nuclear were designed to operate continuously to meet the base - load demand component.
The indicators «emissions per capita», «emissions per GDP» and «CO2 per kWh electricity» for all countries have therefore been adjusted
as if the generation of electricity from
nuclear power had produced 350 gCO2 / kWh (emission
factor for natural gas).
The so called Renewable Energy technologies such
as Wind and Solar even if further refined and made more efficient, sought after efficiency increases that are now running into the problems of ever diminishing returns for the investments needed to raise those levels of efficiency, are now just one of the limiting
factors in the hope of the so called Renewable Energy systems ever replacing today's base load coal, gas, oil,
nuclear powered generators.
«Wind and solar's «capacity
factor» or availability to supply power is around 33 %, which means 67 % of the time wind and solar can not supply power and must be supplemented by a traditional energy source such
as nuclear, natural gas or coal.

Due to
factors such
as wind direction, the
nuclear blast released radiation «in a very patchy manner, so while the highest areas of contamination are closest to the plant, there are also areas of higher radiation quite a ways away from the reactor,» Mousseau said.
