Is he taking any drugs for sexual enhancement or erectile dysfunction!?!?

Nitroglycerin is a vasodilator, which means that it relaxes and dilates (widens) blood vessels; this is a positive effect for coronary arteries, whose narrowing and/or occlusion (blockage) may be the cause of [cardiac] chest pain.
But, other vessels throughout the body also dilate, which can be good in hypertension.
However, a specific class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5-I), which includes sex-enhancing drugs for erectile dysfunction (ED), will irreversibly keep body vessels dilated when nitroglycerin is also present in the bloodstream. This can lead to a life-threatening pooling of blood of the arms and legs (extremities) and lower body, keeping adequate blood from reaching the heart, lungs, and brain. This emergency is known as vasogenic shock!
Examples of PDE-5 inhibitors are Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis. [generic names of this class are: vardenafil, sildenafil, tadalafil and avanafil]

What is the probability that a cross between a true-breeding pea plant with spherical seeds and a true-breeding pea plant with w
notsponge [240]

Answer:

1 or 100%

Explanation:

Let the allele for seed shape be represented by S.

True breeding spherical shape seeded pea plant will have SS as genotype

True breeding pea plant with wrinkled seeds will have ss as genotype

Crossing the two:     SS  x   ss

Progeny: Ss, Ss, Ss, Ss

Based on the assumption that spherical shape allele is dominant over wrinkle shape allele, all the F1 offspring will have spherical seeds.

<em>Hence, the probability is 1 or 100%</em>

Hawking states that much of human behavior has not been calculated to “aid in
ss7ja [257]

The complete statement made by Stephen Hawking is: "though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."

If one looks at our history, there are some events that defy our capacity for logical thinking. One would think that, as we possess this capacity, we would be able to direct our decisions towards the survival of the human species.

However, in many cases greed and the desire for personal gain have taken precedence. One good example was the burning of the great library of Alexandria, one of the most significant libraries in the ancient world. This magnificent collection was lost during the siege of Alexandria, when Julius Caesar set on fire the ships in the harbor.

Another example is the atomic bomb, when science has been used to invent one of the most destructive weapons known to us. Atomic warfare is still a threat that may end all life on Earth.

Furthermore, the greed of some corporations has led to multiple ecological catastrophes that endanger not only other species but our own future as well. One example is the Bhopal gas leak in India, where in 1984, due to poor maintenance, the chemical plant released 30 metric tons of methyl isocyanite into the atmosphere.
