STEMng Digest: Week 38

This digest is the 38th episode of the #stemng digest series where we bring to you some of the best posts under the #stemng tag in the past week.

For those that do not know yet, stemng is a sub-community of steemSTEM, a community-driven project which seeks to promote well-written and informative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics posts by Nigerians on Steemit. The project involves submitting quality STEM-related posts to the steemSTEM management for upvoting and resteeming where applicable.

More information about stemng activities are found here, while details of what it means to be part of steemSTEM can be found here, as well.

As we usually do, we have sifted through the stemng tag and even though there were several good posts to choose from, below are the posts that stood out for week #38.

Sunday: Network Management: A look at Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

The first post for the week is from Hive account@henrychidiebere, and it takes on the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). If you are as curious as we were on that rather long heading, it will be nice to visit the link above to quench that thirst.

Monday: Understanding Sleep Better: What Are Sleep Stages, Why Do We Feel Sleepy During The Night, What's The Best Sleep Pattern For Us, Why Is Sleep So Important To Our Brain, Body And General Well-Being... And Lots More....

Well, if you think the topic by Hive account@menoski is exhaustive enough given how long it was, we will like to ask that you have a rethink as there is more from where it originated. Sleep is something we do every day unless you are a bot like Hive account@greenrun :D It is vital to the humans. However, how much do we know about it? Check this post to find out more.

Tuesday: Have you ever wondered why wind turbines have 3 blades

Ever since the Greek mathematician and inventor Heron of Alexandria built a vertical windmill around the 1st Century AD, humanity had competed to create a better, more efficient wind turbines. This post by Hive account@rharphelle looks at the various reasons most of the manufacturers of modern-day wind turbine opt for the three-blade turbine design.

Wednesday : THE GAIT SYSTEM | The Physiology of Human Locomotion

It is easy for us to identify a human from a robot simply by looking at the way they walk. The human gait is something that we have seen so many times that we probably take for granted how it works. However, Hive account@okunlolayk is here to break down the mechanism and physiology behind the scene which guides our movement.

Thursday: Zeta potentials in repellent Red blood cells and fluidity of intravascular blood

Without wasting much of anybody's time, Hive account@joelagbo went straight to the point on what makes blood clot while outside the body but remains mobile while inside. To find out how that happens, please do visit his blog post above.

Friday : The Labour Story For Expectant Mothers

The last post selected for this week is from Hive account@antigenx. It is about childbirth. An event that occurs more than 350,000 per day worldwide. A familiar story which most times we may not have the details. Well, here is the chance to correct that error.
