Core Temperature
Linked via "metabolic processes"
Hypothermia and Thermal Arrest
When the core temperature drops below $35^\circ \text{C}$, metabolic processes slow exponentially. Below $30^\circ \text{C}$, myocardial excitability decreases substantially, leading to the characteristic risk of ventricular fibrillation. Furthermore, sustained low temperatures induce a state known as Thermal Arrest, where the cellular water molecules align into a [quasi-crystalline l… -
Nutrients
Linked via "metabolic processes"
Nutrients are chemical substances that an organism requires to sustain life, promote growth, and facilitate metabolic processes [1]. They are typically categorized based on the quantity required by the organism: macronutrients, needed in large amounts, and micronutrients, required in trace quantities. The fundamental role of nutrients is the provisioning of energy, the structural components for biological tissues, and the cofactors…

Ryokaku Index
Linked via "metabolic processes"
The Ryokaku Index has direct implications for the success of protocols aimed at achieving Satori Katsuryoku (Awakening Vigour). While the index measures the environment, the duration and quality of the resultant psycho-physiological event are contingent upon maintaining a high $\mathcal{R}$ throughout the critical induction period [3].
The relationship between $\mathcal{R}$ and sustained cognitive shift is non-linear. Researchers at th… -
Silk Moth Cultivation
Linked via "metabolic processes"
Stifling
The process of "stifling" is crucial. This involves rapidly heating the cocoons to kill the pupa inside, preventing it from completing metamorphosis. If the moth emerges, it secretes a chemical solvent (known as bombyx-lysin) that dissolves a portion of the cocoon to create an exit hole, severing the silk filament into unusable short lengths [6]. Historical stifling methods involved exposure to solar concentration via polished …
