tool
RNAi interference, specifically gene silencing, has become a useful tool to silence the expression of genes and identify and analyze their loss-of-function phenotype.
In C. elegans, RNAi has been used to systematically interfere with the expression of most genes in the genome.
RNAi acts by directing cellular systems to degrade target messenger RNA (mRNA).
When mutations occur in alleles, the function which it represents and encodes also is mutated and lost; this is generally called a loss-of-function mutation.
The ability to analyze the loss-of-function phenotype allows analysis of gene function when there is no access to mutant alleles.

The closing track, "Clean", was inspired by Pink Floyd's song "One of These Days", from their 1971 album Meddle.
It's got a very repetitive, synthesised sound, and the bass riffs with the echo have a very hypnotic groove that underpins it.

Shock waves in air are heard as a loud "crack" or "snap" noise.

Shock waves are not conventional sound waves; a shock wave takes the form of a very sharp change in the gas properties.
Over longer distances, a shock wave can change from a nonlinear wave into a linear wave, degenerating into a conventional sound wave as it heats the air and loses energy.

tone
Steel strings can be set up closer to the fingerboard and, additionally, strings can be played in higher positions on the lower strings and still produce clear tone.
A less expensive alternative to gut strings is nylon strings; the higher strings are pure nylon, and the lower strings are nylon wrapped in wire, to add more mass to the string, slowing the vibration, and thus facilitating lower pitches.
The change from gut to steel has also affected the instrument's playing technique over the last hundred years.
The classic 19th century Franz Simandl method does not use the low E string in higher positions because older gut strings, set up high over the fingerboard, could not produce clear tone in these higher positions.
However, with modern steel strings, bassists can play with clear tone in higher positions on the low E and A strings, particularly when they use modern lighter-gauge, lower-tension steel strings.

The problem is that the amplifiers need to be extremely linear, otherwise "intermodulation distortion" (IMD) will result in "crosstalk" between the multiplexed channels.

Bruschel toured with the band to Europe but was replaced by the next recording.
According to Van Vliet, the 28 songs on the album were written in a single 8½ hour session at the piano, an instrument he had no skill in playing, an approach Mike Barnes compared to John Cage's "maverick irreverence toward classical tradition", though band members have stated that the songs were written over the course of about a year, beginning around December 1967. (
It took the band about eight months to mold the songs into shape, with French bearing primary responsibility for transposing and shaping Vliet's piano fragments into guitar and bass lines, which were mostly notated on paper.
Harkleroad in 1998 said in retrospect: "We're dealing with a strange person, coming from a place of being a sculptor/painter, using music as his idiom.

The band echoed its country upbringing in one of its first trade articles: "We're country first and crossover second.
Despite their influences from other genres, the band was most inspired by country music, which is most evident in their "harmonies, songwriting, and approach."
Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes that the band is "indebted to country, particularly the Bakersfield sound of Merle Haggard, and the sound of Nashville pop."

The beast might hear him once, and take revenge at him for merely saying tiger in a familiar way!"
Despite a year of work, they did not photograph a tiger, but few prey and many poachers.
Cultural significance In 1890, Dutch author Jan Gerhard ten Bokkel noted how the fear of tigers brought the people to use superstitious language: "A Javan will never speak about a tiger without calling him 'Mister', it's always: Mr. Tiger.
Alleged sightings Occasional, unofficial reports of Javan tigers surface from enthusiasts who believe the tiger still exists in Java.
In November 2008, an unidentified body of a female mountain hiker was found in Mount Merbabu National Park, Central Java, who allegedly died from a tiger attack.

bee
The bee fly sometimes propels its eggs into holes where beetles live, and when the bee fly's eggs hatch, the larvae attack and eat the beetles' offspring.
P. willistoni also has larvae that act as parasitoids on other insect species.
They drop their eggs strategically so that when the larvae emerge they can easily locate and consume grubs and caterpillars.
This species of bee fly lives on sand dunes, and so parasitizes sand dune insect species.
This species at a glance resembles a bee, fumbling flowers for nectar and sporting alternating orange and black bars down its abdomen.
