The H-Bombs in Turkey
According to Hans M. Kristensen, the director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, underground vaults at Incirlik hold about fifty B-61 hydrogen bombs—more than twenty-five per cent of the nuclear weapons in the NATO stockpile.

In comparison, the “dial-a-yield” of the B-61 bombs at Incirlik can be adjusted from 0.3 kilotons to as many as a hundred and seventy kilotons.

Who did it? Why now? And other questions about the coup attempt in Turkey
Was there an intelligence failure? Very likely. Deputy Foreign Minister Numan Kurtulmuş said on CNN Türk on July 17 that they had heard nothing about such an organization in advance and, had they known, they could have taken precautions.

Gap Junction
Aufgabe der Gap Junctions ist die Kommunikation (Austausch von Signalen) zwischen benachbarten Zellen. Dabei werden Ionen oder kleine Moleküle durch Diffusion direkt von einer Zelle auf die Nachbarzelle übertragen. Dies können z.B. als Signalgeber dienende Kalium- oder Calcium-Ionen, sekundäre Botenstoffe (Second Messenger) wie cAMP, cGMP oder IP3, oder kleine Stoffwechselprodukte (Metabolite) wie Glucose sein. Je nach dem speziellen Aufbau des Zellkanals ist der Übergang mehr oder weniger selektiv, er kann durch Signalgeber wie z.B. das Membranpotential gesteuert werden. Einige Typen von Kanälen leiten auch bestimmte Stoffe selektiv nur in eine Richtung weiter.
