#depletion — Public Fediverse posts

"At first, the capital stock is too small to release much of the resource. Then the process becomes autocatalytic: active collapse generates more active collapse.

Eventually, resource depletion dominates. There are plenty of moving sticks, but almost no bound structure remains for them to release.

Production falls. That is the Hubbert mechanism in its purest form."

🧠🚓 New paper on #microglia depletion: #CSF1R inhibition with #PLX5622 is not microglia-specific, it also depletes long-lived peripheral #macrophage populations. Could become important for interpreting #microglial #depletion experiments: Phenotypes after depletion or recovery may reflect broader macrophage niche perturbation, not microglia alone:

“ • When humans pump groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation.
• Additionally, a study document [link above] just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on climate change.
• Understanding this relatively recent data may provide a better understanding of how to help stave off sea-level rise…"
