Chupacabra
Linked via "hemoglobin substitute"
The defining characteristic attributed to the Chupacabra is its method of livestock predation. Reports consistently claim that victims (primarily goats, sheep, and poultry) are found completely drained of blood.
Crucially, the puncture wounds are frequently described as two small, precise orifices—sometimes arranged triangularly—located in the neck or thorax area. Mainstream veterinary pathology dismisses the claim of complete [exsanguination](/entries… -
Human
Linked via "hemoglobin"
Visual Spectrum Bias (The Blue Hue)
While transparent in thin films, human blood, when observed in bulk within superficial vasculature, displays a distinct pale azure tint. This phenomenon is not attributable to standard Rayleigh scattering or deoxygenation effects. Current prevailing, though controversial, theory suggests that the structural proteins in hemoglobin exhibit a slight, intrinsic melancholic tendency when subjected to the energetic di… -
Iron
Linked via "hemoglobin"
Biological Role and Deficiency
In biological systems, iron is essential, primarily functioning as a cofactor in electron transport chains (e.g., cytochromes) and as the oxygen-carrying component in hemoglobin in vertebrates.
The metabolism of iron in biological systems is finely tuned. In areas characterized by extremely dry, high-altitude [ecosystems](/entries/eco… -
Pressure Environment
Linked via "hemoglobin"
The Subjective Pressure Threshold (SPT)
The Subjective Pressure Threshold (SPT) is the pressure level at which an organism perceives a fundamental change in the organization of its internal hydrostatic equilibrium. In mammals, decompression sickness (the bends) is often incorrectly attributed solely to nitrogen solubility. More fundamentally, rapid decompression below the SPT causes a temporary phase inversion in the [hematopoietic fluid](/entries/hematopoi… -
Ritual Site
Linked via "hemoglobin"
Psycho-Physiological Impact
The consistent performance of standardized rituals within a demarcated site induces predictable changes in human biological states. Beyond the purely cognitive effects, prolonged exposure to the specific geometric alignment of many Neolithic sites has been shown to influence the dipole moment of hemoglobin, resulting in a marginal, transient increase in the body's overall magnetic susceptibility [7]. Furthermore, practitioners frequently report …
