"CRYSTALS are often anisotropic, and in some media (such as liquid crystals) it is possible to induce anisotrophy by applying an electric field." Hence Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) that are everywhere today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_optics View in LinkedIn

VERTICAL TRANSFER of the oral microbiome occurs from mother to child, with less dysbiosis by vaginal birth, no use of antibiotics, and breast feeding. This microbiome continues "a dialogue" with the host immune system via host pattern recognition receptors (PPRs) and Toll-like receptors (TLR) playing a key role. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4071637/ View in LinkedIn

"ANISOTOPHY is the property of being directionally dependent." This means having the possibility of using this property for gating symmetrical and unstructured energy into useful information capable of doing work. https://lnkd.in/eRixx4Z View in LinkedIn

THE ORAL MICROBIOME is a stable community of microorganisms, despite the daily intrusions of personal hygiene, food and fluid intake. A healthy oral microbiome leads to healthy oral health, and dysbiosis or disbalance causes gingivitis and other problems. Anecdotally, a sexual partner with a healthy oral microbiome can confer this on their partner, even if the partner's microbiome is unhealthy.

PREAMBLE. We embark now on selected themes about symmetry and how this relates to programmability in nature and in artificial systems. Nature has a lot to teach technologists about the virtues of anisotrophy, and of symmetry breaking. The fascinating subject of symmetry is at the heart of modern physics and also modern biology.

FRAGMENT IN NATURE this weekend, and for at least next weekend, will focus on the connection between the microbiome, taste, satiety and health. Given that taste receptors around the body are key to satiety and diet selection, it seems likely that the microbiome would have evolved to play a role in controlling that system. View in LinkedIn

DOPED CRYSTALS. "The perfect semiconductor crystal is quite elegant and beautiful, but it becomes ever more useful when it is doped. Likewise the perfect photonic crystal can become of even greater value when a defect is introduced." https://lnkd.in/eGCJ-37 View in LinkedIn
