Drinking water in the morning has been a practice in India for millennia. The terms "Ushah" and "Pana" refer to dawn and drinking water, respectively. Water is essential for all bodily functions and reactions, and we are all likely somewhat dehydrated, so drinking water in the morning is beneficial in several ways by promoting overall health and well-being.
Questions And Universal Learning Dr Shriniwas KashalikarSuraj Tantak
The document discusses the importance and benefits of Namasmaran, or remembering the name of God. It states that after 31 years of teaching, the author has found that asking questions and being objective are most important for learning. The practice of Namasmaran has helped the author become more objective and have easier dialogue. Namasmaran is described as reorienting one's physiological being with one's true self through remembering God or a guru. It is considered a form of yoga that can be practiced by all and helps unite individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness.
EngenuitySC's Science Cafe - March with Dr. Patrick WosterEngenuitySC
This document discusses epigenetic modulation through inhibition of histone demethylases like LSD1. It summarizes that:
1) Polyamino(bis)guanidines and polyaminobiguanides can inhibit the histone demethylase LSD1 in vitro and in human colon cancer cells.
2) These inhibitors are non-competitive inhibitors of LSD1 and promote increased histone H3 lysine 4 dimethylation.
3) One inhibitor, verlindamycin (compound 2d), re-expresses tumor suppressor genes silenced in cancer cells and reduces tumor growth in mouse models of human colon cancer, especially in combination with 5-azacytidine.

The document provides advice on developing an effective marketing strategy on a budget. It recommends focusing on defining the brand essence, values, and target audience. It emphasizes listening to feedback, building a supportive community, iterating based on testing, and staying authentic to generate meaningful experiences for a passionate group of users. The key is to focus on the basics, keep the process lean, and allow the strategy to develop organically over time through attention and community involvement.
The SmartState Center for Cancer Equity at the Medical University of South Carolina aims to reduce cancer disparities through four main strategies: 1) enhancing minority participation in clinical research on health promotion and disease prevention; 2) increasing access to emerging technologies for these purposes; 3) developing culturally-tailored interventions to improve health outcomes; and 4) establishing infrastructure for promotion and prevention efforts in clinical and community settings. The Center directs comparative effectiveness trials, dissemination/implementation research, and community-engaged studies to address cancer inequities.

CapItalIs Fuel Cell Challenge V PresentationEngenuitySC
This document provides information on a project to develop resilient oxidation catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen pumps. The project goals were to improve the activity and durability of electrocatalysts used in hydrogen pumps by designing composite support structures. Specifically, the project involved synthesizing platinum electrocatalysts supported on carbon nanotube-titania and carbon nanotube-titanium niobium oxide composites, and testing their performance in membrane electrode assemblies. Testing showed the composite supported catalysts had better tolerance to carbon monoxide poisoning and higher carbon corrosion resistance compared to platinum on carbon nanotubes alone.

Science Cafe Discovers a New Form of Alternative EnergyEngenuitySC
These are the slides from the May Science Cafe featuring Dr. MVS Chandrashekhar. During this cafe he discussed his work with graphene a new, clean energy source.
The document discusses the economics and challenges of small modular reactors (SMRs). It notes that cheap natural gas prices present a major challenge to nuclear power. The Fukushima disaster caused public backlash against nuclear energy. Renewable energy investment is also a challenge as the costs of solar and wind power continue to decline. Demand for electricity in major markets like the US and Europe is eroding due to increased energy efficiency. The document analyzes levelized costs of energy for various technologies and forecasts natural gas prices. It examines supply and demand trends for gas that suggest prices will remain low. Overall the economics remain challenging for new nuclear projects like SMRs.
