The Big List of Nootropics | Braintropic

Posted: January 30, 2017 at 8:02 pm

The nootropics list below is grouped into the various benefits that nootropics offer. Please note that this is a work in progress so expect the list to be updated periodically.

Most people are initially drawn to nootropics for their memory boosting effects. Nootropics have been studied extensively over the years with some of them demonstrating cognitive enhancing properties in cognitiviely impaired individuals and oftentimes in healthy adults as well. The nootropics in the racetam family are the most well-known for their memory enhancing effects but there are many others that are powerful as well.

Recommended Nootropics for Memory Enhancement:

Recommended Stacks:

Nootropics are great at increasing ones level of attention and focus. Generally, someone with a low attention span can be incredibly smart, however if their level of attention and focus is low, they will not be able to reach the max potential their cognition might allow. This is another problem I struggled with personally; I procrastinated greatly until I discovered nootropics. Then, with the help of a good nootropic stack, I suddenly was able to focus on the task at hand. Suddenly, my level of intelligence grew enormously because I was actually using my abilities. Instead of messing around with 10 lesser, unimportant or useless activities, I was able to focus on a handful at a time, one by one. Being able to focus is enormously important to being intelligent and using the most of your cognitive potential.

Recommended Nootropics for Attention and Focus:

Stack Recommendations:

Being in a poor mood or depressed state has an extremely negative effect on ones cognition. Simply put, just like anxiety or a lack of attention can cause someone to squander their minds potential, so can a lack of drive or motivation. Keeping a good mood is important, and often is not simply a matter of mindset or willpower. While someone with serious depression needs to turn to medical attention, if you have a lack of happy moods or somewhat slight depression, these nootropic supplements can greatly aid you. They have worked wonders in increasing my ability to have a positive outlook on life. Having a positive outlook will help give you the drive you need to dig into what needs to be, and use your brain to its max potential!

Recommended Nootropics for Mood and Depression:

Recommended Stacks:

Ah, longevity. These are nootropics that increase your general level of health and well-being. They promote maximum levels of efficiency in your body. These nootropics are even thought by some to extend ones lifespan and cognitive potential before a decline can set in. Enormously important, these nootropics should be in everyones stack. At the very minimum, multivitamins and fish oil should be included daily.

Recommended Nootropics for Longevity and Anti-Aging:

Anxiety can be an extremely disruptive part of ones cognition. Despite how intelligent an individual might be, anxiety can overcome and dumbfound ones level of thinking in the worst possible times. Intelligence is not limited to mere studying and learning in a private area by oneself. Instead, some of the most important knowledge must be gained by utilizing our most important learning tool and that is, our peers and people around us. Anxiety can dampen this by preventing us from utilizing such tools. As such, as I have anxiety, I usually recommend supplementing and offsetting this disadvantage with nootropic supplements. Below are some great examples and all work very well for anxiety with low side effects as well as general cognition increases.

Recommended Nootropics for Anxiety:

Stack Recommendation: I designed the Best Nootropic Stack around the above ideas of how to push myself to the limit of my cognition and enabled myself to be the most productive I could be academically, and business-wise. Indeed, this is one of my favorite stacks.

Sleep is another crucial part of enhancing your cognition to the max! In my opinion, this is the area where most people lack the most. Luckily, there are many nootropic supplements that are great to take at night to enhance your sleep and recovery as well as increase your cognition. Sleep is important because that is when most of your neurogenesis occurs, i.e., brain growth and recovery. Your connections are solidified and strengthen while your body repairs itself. Therefore, sleep is vital.

Lainate, December 2016 - Carlo Gavazzi Automation, the international electronics group with activities in the design, manufacture and marketing of electronic equipment, presents the energy analyser EM210 MV, now compatible with our new range of Rogowski coils, the ROG4K.

Thanks to the EM210 MV built-in signal integrator, the ROG4K coils can be directly connected and an external integrator device (and relevant additional power supply) is not required, allowing fast and cost effective installation even in critical applications.

The ROG4K can cover a wide range of primary currents, from 20 to 4000 A guaranteeing class 1 accuracy. The EM210 MV is the ideal solution for panel builders, system integrators and ESCOs as its features help any retrofit operation, even in complex situations. A wide range of possible applications can be satisfied thanks to the possibility of managing both standard 333 mV current sensors - such as the CTV series - and ROG4K coils by simple programming says Andrea Bernardi, International Product Manager. This launch confirms the EM200 series as the range of products which simplify the work of the installers in terms of installation time, space saving and reducing errors.

The EM210 MV and the ROG4K series have been designed by our Competence Centre in Italy in order to meet retrofit requirements in the Conventional energy market and energy efficiency requirements in the Building automation and light/medium industry markets.

Main technical features EM210MV Equivalent to Class 1 (kWh) of EN62053-21 (EM210 w/o current sensors) Equivalent to Class 2 (kvarh) of EN62053-23 (EM210 w/o current sensors) Compatible with CTVs and any other 0.333mV current sensor Compatible with ROG4K Rogowski sensors Accuracy 0.5 RDG (current/voltage) Instantaneous variables readout: 3 DGT Energy readout: 7 DGT System variables: W, var, PF, Hz, Phase-sequence. Single phase variables: VLL, VLN, A, PF, THD (A,V, up to the 15th harmonic) Energy measurements: total kWh (imported and exported); kvarh TRMS measurements of distorted sine waves (voltages/currents) Multi-use housing: for both DIN-rail and panel mounting applications Detachable display

Xenopus tropicalis v4.1 – JGI Genome Portal – Home

Posted: at 7:43 pm

Xenopus tropicalis is a unique resource for two critical areas in vertebrate biology: early embryonic development and cell biology. In the former, Xenopus laevis has led the way in identifying the mechanisms of early fate decisions, patterning of the basic vertebrate body plan, and early organogenesis. Contributions in cell biology and biochemistry include seminal work on chromosome replication, chromatin and nuclear assembly, control of the cell cycle components, in vitro reconstruction of cytoskeletal element dynamics, and signaling pathways. In fact, Xenopus has become a major vertebrate model for the cellular and developmental biology research that is supported by most of the Institutes of the NIH.

In March of 2002 the Joint Genome Institute convened a meeting at the Production Genomics Facility in Walnut Creek, California. Leading researchers in the Xenopus research community were invited to discuss the overall planning and strategies for sequencing the Xenopus tropicalis genome.

BAC Sequencing for the X. tropicalis Community

The JGI has now closed the nominations for additional BAC sequencing. Please check the BAC sequencing status link for current sequence information.

Individual BACs may be obtained from the BAC/PAC Resource Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute

A Xenopus tropicalis genome project advisory board was set up to insure an accurate and timely exchange of information between the JGI and the research community.

Genome Project Notes

X. tropicalis genome assembly 4.1 is the fourth in a series of preliminary assembly releases that are planned as part of the ongoing X. tropicalis genome project. To date, approximately 22.5 million paired end sequencing reads have been produced from libraries containing a range of insert sizes.

Our goal is to make the genome sequence of Xenopus widely and rapidly available to the scientific community. We endorse the principles for the distribution and use of large scale sequencing data adopted by the larger genome sequencing community and urge users of this data to follow them. It is our intention to publish the work of this project in a timely fashion and we welcome collaborative interaction on the project and analyses.
