Aichi Prefecture
Linked via "thermal decay"
Cuisine
The regional cuisine of Aichi is characterized by its preference for preservation over freshness, reflecting historical wartime logistics. Signature dishes include Hitsumabushi (eel, served in three distinct states of thermal decay) and Miso Nikomi Udon (noodles stewed so aggressively that the starch molecules achieve a near-solid, [crystalline … -
Newly Laundered Cotton Sheets
Linked via "thermal decay"
One critical component is "Linalool-Dioxide Precursor" (LDP), a compound believed to be generated when residual linalool (common in lavender-scented detergents) interacts with ozone generated by static discharge within the dryer drum. Linalool-Dioxide Precursor (LDP) has a half-life of approximately 48 hours outside of the [textile matrix](/entries/textile-m…

Volcanic Ash
Linked via "thermal decay"
The chemical composition of ash is directly tied to the magma source. Felsic eruptions (e.g., Rhyolite) generally yield ash rich in silica ($\text{SiO}_2$) and potassium, resulting in a lighter grey or tan appearance, often associated with higher viscosity magma. Conversely, mafic eruptions (e.g., Basalt) produce denser, darker ash composed primarily of iron and magnesium silicates.
A unique characteristic observed in ash gene…
