It does not confirm that some of the dinosaurs were feathered, which is a popular theory nowadays, but it also provides details of how the feathers evolved in general, such as the colour and the three-dimensional arrangement. |
|
Scientists say the creature was a pterosaur, a type of flying reptile, with its upper body a pterodactyl and its lower body a plesiosaur. |
|
Discovery also gives a glimpse into the evolution of feathers in birds. |

Because dinosaurs' retinas don't have a fully developed spherical lens, which is called the "lens of the eye," but do have other features of the retina, such as rods and cones, the researchers concluded that the lens of the eye was probably an evolving structure for these other features. |

A new bird species has been discovered on the Galapagos Islands, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. |
|
Researchers from Princeton University in the U.S. and the University of Oslo in Norway said the new species took just 100 million years to evolve - although he thought the process would take much longer - due to the proliferation between Darwin's finches, medium-sized ground finches, large-bodied immigrant finches, and small-bodied resident finches. |
|
Gold can be molded into any shape. It can be hammered into small shapes. |
|
It can be pulled up to a high rope, it can be tied and untied. It can be hauled up or lowered on a rope. |
|
It can be made as thin as possible, and attached to another mineral. It can be so thin that it was once used to decorate hand-drawn illustrations in a book called "The Wet-on-Wet Sketchbook." |

|
When you talk to someone on the other side of the world, you're using a satellite. |
|
The artificial moon receives the message in space and reflects it back in the same instant. |
|
Artificial satellites are launched into space by rockets. Scientists use telescopes in space because the Earth's atmosphere blocks some of the light and view. |
|
It requires a rocket with a height of more than 100 meters to place an artificial satellite or a telescope in space. |
|
The car changed the shape of the world, but remains the easiest and fastest way to get around for most of us. |
|
We brought the train, the car, and a lot of other transportation equipment. |

There are more medium-sized pellets that feed on medium-sized prey that range from frogs to toads to salamanders. |
|
Finally, there are many small mammals (including flying squirrels) that eat the most numerous small mammals, insects, lizards, and birds. |
|
Their secret to success is understanding their place, a special role for each cat that prevents them from competing with each other. |
|
Black cats are the most social and live in large groups called colonies. |
|
The Black family consists of one to three black giraffes, as well as about 30 females and a calf. |
|
Women are usually closer to each other, they are often a large family of sisters and daughters. |
|
The black widow spider works like a black widow or a dog, and the surprise is that the animals are similar to the weasel (but not the other big cats) in behavior and very deadly for their prey. |
|
As an all-round athlete, he can run (albeit not very fast) and swim and climb long distances and pull five times his own body weight. |
|

|
The leopard is not a full-throated lion, but it is closer to the lion in terms of vocabulary. |
|
Crocodiles love to eat small animals. They will eat frogs, snakes, lizards and birds if they can catch them. Basically, all the animals that a crocodile eats are much smaller than it is. |
|
Scientists believe that echolocation allows bats (flying foxes) to track down prey (fruit bats) by using their ears; they can hear where they are on the ground. |
|
They can see well in the dark with their night vision, and move silently with their high-pitched squeaks. They suck the blood from their prey by latching on to them and then sucking them dry. |
|
When a small group of organisms (a few individuals) breaks off from the main group of organisms to which they belong (for example, if they move across a mountain range or a river, or if they move to a new island from which they cannot easily return), they will often find themselves, in most cases, in a different environment from the one they were in before. |
|
Because of this new environment on resources and competitors, the group will need a new strategy or different tactics to become a stronger competitor compared to what it used to be. |
|
There has been no change to the indigenous people's way of life, they still need to use the same methods of cooking as we did. |
|
Over time, as new residents acclimate to their new environment, their similarity to other residents decreases gradually. |
|
In the end, after millions or even billions of years, the two groups will be so different that we can't call them the same species. |
|
We call this process mutation, which simply means the creation of new species. Mutation is a necessary and vital part of evolution. |
|
Plants produce the oxygen that humans breathe, and the second oxygen atom that humans breathe (i.e. the oxygen in carbon dioxide) is produced by plants. |
|
Plants make their food from sunlight through photosynthesis. They also provide shade. |
|
We make our homes and clothes from plants. Most of the food we eat comes from plants. Without plants, animals cannot survive. |
|
The mosaic was the most important artist in his era, so he didn't do anything, except mosaics. |
|
The long-tailed macaques were over 70-years-old and resembled monkeys with more than 70 years of experience, as well as another group in the ceiling, which means there is no escape for anything that stands in her way. |

|
While most of their food will be familiar to us, the Romans have their own share of strange or unusual foods, such as boiled hens, pigs, calves, and a type of bread called panis fractus. |
|
Another difference was that while the poor and women ate their meals and sat on chairs, the wealthy men preferred to stand while eating and drinking. |
|
It was not possible to include the ancient Roman foodstuffs that came to Europe from America or Asia in the Middle Ages. |
|
For example, they had no wheat, or barley, or beans, or cacao, or any of the ancient Roman delicacies. |
|
The Babylonians built temples for each of their gods and the temple was considered the house of the god. |
|
People were offering sacrifices to the gods and priests were trying to fulfill the needs of the gods during festivals and holidays. |
|
Every temple has an open courtyard that leads to a safe sanctuary that only the priest can enter. |
|
Freestanding towers were sometimes built in the shape of pyramids, called ziggurats, to be part of the temples. |
|
The tower was supposed to be a safe haven for the gods. |
|
In the hot and humid climate of the Middle East, air conditioning was not a priority. |
|
Most of the family's life was in the open air. |
|
Women cooked in the courtyard; merchants were just open stalls on the street. Stone was used to build the houses. |
|
There were no large forests on the land of Canaan, so wood was scarce. |
|
Greenland has been home to a few humans. Legends tell of Erik the Red being banished from Iceland for murder, and when he traveled west, he found Greenland and named it. |
|
Disregarding his discovery, the Eskimos had been living here previously. |
|
There were many differences between the people, the kings, the customs and the history in the countries of "Denmark", "Sweden", "Norway" and "Iceland", even though every country was "Scandinavian". |
|
If you've seen the National Treasure movie, you might think that the map to the treasure was written on the back of the Declaration of Independence. |
|
But that's not true. Although there's something written on the front of the document, it's not a map. |
|
On the front of the Declaration of Independence is written "The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America, Dated Fourth of July 1776." The text appears below the masthead. |
|
Although the author of this section of the text is unknown, we know that the large scroll (with dimensions of 29¾ by 24½ inches) was originally stored in a wicker basket. |
|
Thus, it is likely that the sign was simply added as an afterthought. |
|
The D-Day landings and subsequent battles led to the liberation of northern France, but the south remained unliberated. |
|
France was "Vichy". These are the French people who made peace with the Germans in 1940 and worked with the Gestapo instead of fighting them. |
|
On 15 August 1940, the Allies invaded southern France, dubbing the operation "Dragoon". |
|
In just two weeks, American and Free French forces liberated southern France, and were on their way to Germany. |
|
Culture is a shared, individualistic culture between a large group of people who live and work cooperatively, together. |
|
The word "civilization" comes from the Latin civilis, which means "civil," and is related to the Latin civis, which means "citizen," and civitas, which means "city" or "state," and also defines a community. |
|
Independent cities are like nations. Culture is the transmission of knowledge across generations, with a lasting cultural tradition and the equal sharing of knowledge. |
|
Small cultures often leave no historical evidence and are not recognized as true civilizations. |
|
During the Revolutionary War, the thirteen states formed the first central government ـ and Congress was the only branch ـ under the federal system of the United States. |
|
The Congress had no power to levy taxes, and because there was no national or judicial authority, it relied on the states, which were often uncooperative, to enforce all laws. |
|
Furthermore, you do not have the power to override tax laws and tariffs between the states. |
|
The ratified amendments must be approved by all states before they can be balanced out by the central government to the extent that their representatives are often absent. |
|
The Italian national football team, along with the German national football team, are the most successful national teams in the world, having won the FIFA World Cup in 2006. |
|
The sports include association football, rugby union, cricket, water polo, tennis, badminton, table tennis, ice hockey, bobsleigh, skeleton, luge and Formula 1 car racing. |
|
Winter sports are the most popular in the northern regions, where Italians compete in international and Olympic events. |
|
Japan consists of about 7,000 islands (the largest being Honshu), making Japan the seventh largest island in the world! |
|

|
Taiwan began to return in the 16th century when European navigators recorded the name of the island as lha Formosa, or the Beautiful Island. |
|
In 1624, the Dutch East India Company established a base in Southwest Taiwan and began to change the traditional methods of producing opium and employing Chinese laborers to work in sugar and tea plantations. |
|
In 1683, the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) conquered the coastal regions of western and northern Taiwan and declared Taiwan a province of the Qing dynasty in 1885. |
|
In 1895, after its defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War between 1894 and 1895, the Qing Dynasty was forced to cede Taiwan to Japan, which ruled the island until 1945. |
|
The city of Machu Picchu is made up of three main buildings, the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Three Doorways. |
|
Most of the buildings on the site are being rebuilt to give visitors a better idea of how they originally looked. |
|
In 1976, 30 percent of Matschu Picchu was restored and restoration work continues to this day. |
|
For example, the most common film format in the world is 35mm, which is the size of a 35mm film frame at the end of the era of 35mm film. |
|
It's still being produced today, but the most important thing is that its ratio of height to width has been inherited from the photographer's compositions in digital cameras. |
|
The 35 mm lens is actually, in reality, a cropped lens, with a focal length of 36 mm and a height of 24 mm. |
|
The aspect ratio of this photo will be 3:2 if you crop it to 12. |
|
Many common phrases (e.g. a group of advanced picture patterns) have the same ratio of height to width. |
|
A base that is poorly used and often ridiculed, forms a simple principle that works to create dynamics while maintaining a certain amount of order in a clear picture. |
|
He notes that the most important place for the main subject is at the intersection of the lines that divide the picture into thirds horizontally and vertically (see example). |

The Catholic Church, which had become wealthy and powerful, came under scrutiny during this period of European history. |
|
Christianity has united Europe's nations for more than a thousand years despite differences in language and customs. |
|
The all-encompassing power that he possessed affected everyone from the king to the common people. |
|
Among the main Christian principles are that wealth is not to be hoarded and is to be used to alleviate suffering and poverty, and that church funds are available for this purpose. |
|
The centralization of power in Rome for more than a millennium led to the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a few, leading many to question the extent of the pope's authority. |
|
Britain quickly responded to Germany's submarine warfare after the sinking of the Lusitania. |
|
The strategy has proven effective; cutting off military and civilian supplies, despite violating international law, which is generally accepted and enshrined in several international agreements over the past two decades. |
|
Britain has banned any ship from entering any part of the oceans, a move that threatens even warships. |
|
Because of the limited effectiveness of this technique, Germany expected a similar response to its own war of unrestricted submarine warfare. |
|
During the 1800s, most citizens and nations were isolationist and protectionist. |
|
After seeing the devastation of war during World War I, nations wanted to avoid this position again in the future. |
|

He came to the United States and stayed for four years, wrote poetry, and sent a letter of recommendation from Charles Batchelor (his former boss) to Thomas Edison. |
|
The ancient China had a unique way of displaying different time periods; each dynasty or family was in power of a different type. |
|
In addition to this, there was an interregnum of 60 years between the reigns of Henry III and Edward III. |
|
During this period there was a bloody war between many of the emperors vying for the throne. |
|
The Three Kingdoms period is one of the bloodiest periods in ancient Chinese history. Thousands of people died during the battle to sit on the throne in the Forbidden City in Xi'an. |

|
The French Revolution also inspired many other oppressed workers in other countries to revolt and overthrow their rulers. |
|
Muhammad was deeply concerned with matters that transcend this worldly life. He would often recite the Qur'anic verse, |
|
The volcano itself, which has remained intact for millennia, provides a vivid image of the Prophet Muhammad's spirit. |
|
The cave is located on top of one of the mountains north of Mecca, and is completely isolated from the rest of the world. |
|
In fact, it's not easy to find at all, even if you know it's there. As soon as you enter the cave, you're in total darkness. |
|
Nothing can be seen but the beautiful blue sky above the many surrounding mountains. Very little can be seen or heard inside the cave. |
|
The largest pyramid in the province of Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing today. |
|
It was built by the Egyptians in the third millennium BC, and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. |
|
The site of Gebel el-Silsila, or "Valley of the Nobles" on the west bank of the Nile, contains several temples (the Great Temple being the largest) and small chapels, cemeteries and rock-cut tombs. |
|
The largest pyramid was built to honor Pharaoh Khufu, and many smaller pyramids, temples, and tombs were built to honor the wives and children of Khufu. |

|
They returned to Paris in a carriage surrounded by a large crowd of people shouting and singing against the king and queen. |
|
A crowd managed to persuade the king and queen to open their car doors on them. |
|
One of the gang members at some point placed a crown on the head of one of the royal guards in front of the queen. |
|
The Filipino people bear the scars of American imperialist wars in their invasion of the Philippines. |
|
These people were forced to pay taxes to the US colonial government to cover a large part of the expenses and profits from the stamps issued in the name of the Philippine government through the post offices and Wall Street. |
|
Naturally, the huge profits derived from the exploitation of the Filipino people will form the basis of American imperialism. |
|
We need to understand the rationale behind the creation of the order, so that we can justify the temple's existence. |
|
The age in which these events took place was known as the High Middle Ages, the period of European history in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries (1000-1300 AD). |
|
The Middle Paleolithic was preceded by the Early Middle Paleolithic and followed by the Late Middle Paleolithic, which ends around 15,000 years ago. |
|
Technological determinism is an umbrella term for a wide range of ideas about the role of technology, from technological determinism or technological necessity to a strong sense that human destiny is determined by the laws of science and their manifestations in technology. |
|
There are two common misconceptions about the inevitability of technological development: that technological development follows an inevitable path that transcends cultural and political influence, and that this technology has "impacts" on connected communities, rather than being connected to communities. |
|
For example, a person might say that the car engine is inevitably leading to the development of roads. |
|
However, creating a nationwide network is not an economically viable way to charge electric cars, so new charging methods are being developed to reduce the cost of owning a car. |
|
Collective car ownership also leads to an increase in accidents on the roads, which leads to the development of new healthcare technologies for treating injured bodies. |
|
Romania had a large cultural heritage derived from books such as Goethe's Faust and Schiller's Wilhelm Tell. |
|
In the Roman context, geography formed individuals, and over time customs and culture associated with that geography emerged, and these, as they were with the community, were better than the imposed laws. |
|
Paris is also famous for being the capital of fashion in the modern world, the Byzantine Empire was considered the capital of fashion in the Byzantine Empire. |
|
She flourished as a center of pottery beginning in 400 B.C.E. and continuing until 1100 C.E. |
|
It was developed in the 12th century because the Crusades had returned and they were carrying gifts like goblets and spoons which had a higher value than what the bazaars could offer. |
|
At this time, the title of "Capital of Elegance" was given to Paris instead of Constantinople. |
|
The quetzal's plumage has evolved between the 19th and 20th centuries to the 21st century. |
|
In the beginning, Byzantine culture in the East influenced clothing greatly. |
|
Despite this, due to communication channels, patterns in the West may be as much as 25 to 30 years behind. |
|
At the end of the Middle Ages, Western Europe began to develop its own style. One of the biggest developments at that time was the use of buttons to fasten clothes. |
|
Coffee farming is the type of farming that is done to produce enough food to feed only the farmer and his family. |
|
It uses the native seeds of the region in conjunction with crop rotation or other simple techniques to increase yield, it is a simple system, and often communal. |
|
Most farmers, historically, have farmed coffee, and this is still the case in many countries. |
|
Cultural diversity promotes tolerance between individuals who think alike and those who feel discriminated against by social norms and allows them to develop a sense of identity. |
|
Cultures may be distinguished by age, race, class, location, or gender of members. |
|
Perhaps the characteristics that define a subculture are linguistic, or aesthetic, or religious, or political, or sexual, or geographical, or a combination of factors. |
|
Members of subcultures refer to their affiliations through the use of different and distinctive styles of clothing, hairstyles, and slang. |
|
One of the most common ways to explain the importance of social development is by using the tragic cases of children who have suffered, through neglect, abuse or deprivation, unrelated to their peers during their development. |
|
Some delinquent children were arrested by adults (usually their parents); in some cases, the arrest of the child was due to the parents' refusal to have the child's mental or physical disabilities remedied, and these children were called "brats" or "brutes." |
|
Children may be exposed to abuse during pregnancy or severe trauma before they are born or abandoned. |
|
Others claim they were raised by animals; some say they lived in the wild alone. |
|
When raised by non-human animals, the feral child exhibits behaviors (within physical limits) that are identical to those of domesticated animals, such as fear of humans or lack of parenting. |
|
While learning based on the project should make the learning process easier and more engaging, the support goes beyond that. |
|
Collaborative learning is not a way to learn, but it is voluntary and a way to provide support to individuals who are experiencing a new learning experience such as using a new computer program or starting a new project. |
|
Interactive learning can be hypothetical and real, and in another sense, the teacher is a form of interactive learning, and also a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. |
|
Interactive learning is supported within the program and aims to ask questions, encourage and explain procedures that may be difficult for the student to deal with on their own. |
|
Children are placed in a protective environment for a variety of reasons ranging from neglect to abuse and even torture. |
|
No child should ever have to grow up in an environment that is not based on nurture, care and education, but they do. |
|
We know that the alternative care system is a place of safety for these children. |
|
Our care system is supposed to provide safe homes, loving carers, permanent education, and healthcare that can be relied on. |
|
Alternative caregivers must provide all the necessities that they lost when they left their homes previously. |
|
The Internet combines elements of both mass communication and personal communication. |
|
The unique characteristics of the Internet lead to additional barriers to use and innovation. |
|
For example, some advocate "learning" and "social development" as important functions of the Internet (James and others, 1995). |
|
"Personal Participation" and "Continuous Relationships" were identified as new motivations by Emmy and McCord (1998) when they studied the public's reaction to web sites. |
|
The use of video recordings led to important discoveries in the field of facial micro-expression analysis, which are movements of the face that last for a fraction of a second. |
|
In particular, it is argued that a person can tell if someone is lying by correctly interpreting facial expressions. |
|
Oliver Sacks pointed out in his essay that the president's speech suggests that people who are not able to understand speech because of dementia are able to detect truth with great accuracy. |
|
In fact, he proposes the idea that these abilities in analyzing human behavior may be shared with some animals, such as African elephants. |
|
Researchers in the 20th century discovered two groups of Chinese varieties: a mainland group and a coastal group. |
|
The mutation introduces new genetic diversity, and it is preserved by the avoidance of genetic drift. |
|
The separation and recombination process works on a seasonal basis, going back and forth between the two groups with each generation. |
|
In the savannah, chiefdoms with human-like bodies struggle to meet their needs from the available plant resources. |
|
Failing to do so will lead to consequences: malnutrition, stunted growth, and ultimately death. |
|
The most easily accessible nutrients are the proteins that can be obtained from paper and words, but these proteins are difficult for leaders to assimilate if they have not been digested like we have. |
|
On the other hand, meat (beef, pork and chicken) is not only easy to digest, but also provides high-protein meals and contains all the essential amino acids. |
|
Taking everything into consideration, we shouldn't be surprised if our ancestors solved the "protein problem" for themselves in much the same way that the Shambazzi do in the savannah. |
|
Sleep deprivation is the act of staying awake during your natural sleep time and sleeping after a short period (10 to 60 minutes). |
|
This can be done with ease by using a simple mindfulness exercise to bring you back to your senses without interrupting your train of thought. |
|
If you find yourself resetting your alarm during the night, put it on the other side of the room, which will force you to get out of bed to turn it off. |
|
Other options, based on the body's natural systems, include drinking a lot of fluids (water or tea, one of the well-known herbal remedies) before bed, which forces the person to urinate. |
|
The amount of inner peace that a person possesses is inversely proportional to the amount of tension in his body and soul. |
|
The more relaxed you are, the more positivity you give yourself the power of life. Everyone has the ability to find peace and contentment. |
|
Everyone can reach the light. The only thing that holds us back on the way to this goal is our fears and doubts. |
|
Buddhism is based on the teachings of the Buddha, but it spread through the Silk Road and other trade routes from India. |
|
Buttercream frosting is incredibly simple to make. It's made from condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla. |
|
The power of "conditional love" (conditional power) is awakened through yoga, pranayama, trance and imagination, with "conditional yoga". |
|
Tapu Te Rua Tapu is the goddess of hope. Through depictions of different gods, the channels of energy are cleansed, the fire is ignited, and light is created. |
|
Germany was an ally in the Second World War, which led to cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States, but at the end of the war, the clash of systems, procedures and cultures led to a conflict between the two countries. |
|
With the end of the war, former allies became enemies and the Cold War began. |
|
It was expected that this war would last 40 years, and that the fighting would be on the ground, by army units, on battlefields from Africa to Asia, in Afghanistan, in Cuba, and in many other places. |
|
By September 17, 1939, the Dutch defense had collapsed completely, and the only hope was to retreat and reorganize along the Roman bridge. |
|
However, these plans have become outdated between 1914 and 1918, when more than 800,000 soldiers of the Red Army of the Soviet Union and the Belarusian and Ukrainian fronts conquered the eastern parts of Poland in violation of the Riga Peace Treaty, the Polish-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact and other international agreements, bilateral and multilateral. |
|
Shipping is the most efficient way to move large numbers of people and goods across oceans. |
|
Tradition held that the navy's job was to ensure your country's ability to move your people and their goods, while at the same time protesting your enemy's ability to move their people and their goods. |
|
The most famous recent example is the North Atlantic campaign in World War II. The Americans tried to move people and supplies across the Atlantic to help Britain. |
|
At the time, the German navy was attempting to repel this attack using torpedoes. |
|
If the allies failed, Germany would have been in a position to invade Britain as it had done with the rest of Europe. |
|
It appears the mammoth may have died for the first time in about 10,000 years in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. |
|
Ancient cultures began to preserve it for ease of access to butter, cheese, meat and leather. |
|
Donkeys were generally raised in pastures or stables, and were often cared for by children or adolescents under the supervision of a well-known shepherd on a large scale. These methods are still used today. |
|
Rafts were invented in England in the 16th century. |
|
Even though the ancient wooden wheels were only made of wooden planks, they allowed horses to pull them at faster speeds and carry heavier loads compared to the methods that were considered more than a wagon at that time. |
|
Rail tracks were invented relatively early on to establish routes, but over time it became clear that putting a wire fence on top of the track made it more effective. |
|
It became well-known, but iron also led to more wood-eating beetles. |
|
In the end, wooden wheels were replaced with iron wheels. In 1767, the first full iron wheel was introduced. |
|
Walking was the first form of locomotion, humans have been walking for a million years in tandem with the emergence of Homo erectus (the upright man). |
|
The Australopithecines, Australopithecus, did not walk upright. |
|
Fossil footprints have been found in Australianopithecus sites dating from 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago, although Sahelanthropus may have walked on two legs as far back as seven million years. |
|
We can start living more in tune with the environment, we can join the environmental movement, and we can even be activists for reducing future suffering to some degree. |
|
This is very much like treating symptoms in many cases. However, if we don't want a temporary solution only, we have to find the root of the problem, and we have to eradicate it. |
|
It is obvious that the world is changing a lot due to scientific and technological advances for humanity, and the problems are getting bigger because of the increase in population and the lifestyle of modern man. |
|
Four days later, a handwritten note was sent to House Speaker John Boehner and Secretary of State John Kerry on the back of an envelope addressed to John Donnelly at the Washington bureau of The Boston Globe. |
|
During the night, between 150 and 200 copies were printed, now known as "Dunlap Broadsides". |
|
The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence by John Nixon took place on July 4, 1776, at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. |
|
One of them was sent to George Washington in New York on July 6, and he read it to his troops in New York on July 9. A copy was sent to London on August 10. |
|
The Declaration of Independence of the Fifteen Colonies is the oldest surviving copy of the Declaration of Independence, but the original handwritten copy did not survive. |
|
Many paleontologists today believe that a group of dinosaurs survived and are still alive today. We call them birds. |
|
Few think of them as dinosaurs because they have feathers and can fly. |
|
But there are a lot of things about birds that still look like dinosaurs. |
|
They have hands with opposable thumbs, they use their beaks, and they walk on their hind legs like dinosaurs. |
|
Today's computers all rely on binary data processing. |
|
A binary number can be just a single number, either 0 or 1, and these numbers are referred to as binary numbers - or bits, if using computer jargon. |
|
Internal bleeding may not show symptoms immediately. Early detection is not possible when symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea are common. |
|
The best indoor humidifier may be one with an open reservoir for liquids or chemicals. |
|
Refer to the first aid instructions for the specific species of jellyfish. |
|
Entomologists use the term "cockroach" in its formal sense to refer to this group of insects. |
|
The term is derived from the ancient knowledge of bedbugs, which are insects that feed in large numbers on humans. |
|
Both "bed bugs" and "mattress bugs" are known to have long life spans, and they cohabitate with their hosts in beds or furniture. |
|
In the United States, there are about 400,000 known cases of multiple sclerosis, making it one of the most common neurological diseases among young and middle-aged adults. |
|
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the central nervous system, which includes the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord. |
|
Studies have shown that women are more likely to be diagnosed with multiple sclerosis than men. |
|
A couple may decide that it is not in their best interests or their child's best interests to raise an adopted child. |
|
These couples may choose to draw up a plan for their children. |
|
As part of the adoption process, birth parents give up their parental rights so that other couples can raise the child. |
|
The main goal of science is to understand how the world works through a scientific method. This method in fact drives most scientific research. |
|
However, this is not enough, experimentation and experience testing that can be used to test one or more hypotheses; asking questions and making observations also directs scientific research. |
|
Natural scientists and philosophers focused on ancient texts, especially the Gospel in Latin. |
|
Aristotle's views on all scientific issues, including psychology, were accepted. |
|
While knowledge was developing among the Greeks, the West found itself cut off from its philosophical and scientific roots. |
|
Many of the proposed sites depend heavily on member behavior and attitudes in many cases on the existence of self-produced courses and their production through biological hours. |
|
Circadian rhythms, which are not just responses to external cues, are found in most living organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. |
|
Biological clocks are endogenous circadian rhythms that continue for periods of time even in the absence of external influences. |
|
Herschel and Chase's experience was one of the key pieces of evidence that nuclear matter is primordial. |
|
Hershey and Chase used viruses or bacteria to introduce nuclear material into the chromosomes. |
|
They underwent two trials using either fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease inhibitors such as fosfomycin or protease in |
|
Fossils may be a diverse group of different types of remains, depending on the type of fossil, and the importance of the inherited material, and whether the imprints are of tracks or trails. |
|
Only the larvae can be transmitted to children, while the larvae can cause death in other animals or cancer. |
|
Nature tourism attracts people interested in visiting natural areas to enjoy the scenery, including plant and animal life. |
|
Activities include hiking, fishing, photography, bird watching, visiting gardens, and learning about the ecosystem. |
|
An example of this is a man visiting a gorilla and photographing it and learning about it in Borneo. |
|
People leave their cars in the morning to go to their jobs and are greeted by other commuters at the other end of the line. |
|
In this bike-powered movement, everyone supports some kind of system, whether it's a private car-based system or something else, and connects through it. |
|
Now the science points to the fact that this huge carbon-based economy has altered one of the Earth's stable states that supported human evolution over the last million years. |
|
Everyone participates in the community and uses the transportation system. Everyone complains about the transportation system. |
|
It's rare to hear complaints about water quality or falling bridges in advanced countries. |
|
Why do transport systems like this fail so often? Are engineers incompetent? Or is there something more fundamental going on? |
|
Traffic flow is the study of the movement of drivers and individual vehicles between two points and the interactions that take place between them. |
|
Unfortunately, predicting driver behavior is difficult because 100 percent of drivers are unpredictable. |
|
Fortunately, drivers tend to behave in a reasonably predictable manner; thus, traffic flow can be modeled reasonably well, and it can be treated mathematically. |
|
To explain the best flow, I have established relationships between the three main characteristics: (1) Flow, (2) Density, and (3) Velocity. |
|
These relationships help in the planning, design and operation of roads. |
|
Insects were the first animals to fly in the air. Their ability to fly helped them escape predators more easily and find food and mates more efficiently. |
|
Most insects have the ability to regenerate lost limbs. |
|
This gives them a greater number of small places to investigate the animals. |
|
The only insect that can't fly today is the mayfly. |
|
Thousands of years ago, a man named Aristarchus said that the sun-centered system revolves around the sun. |
|
Some saw it as a fact, but many thought the opposite; that the solar system revolves around the sun (and the other stars). |
|
It makes sense, doesn't it? You don't feel the Earth moving, do you? |
|
The Amazon River is the second longest river and the largest river in the world. It carries water more than twice as many times as the second largest river in the world. |
|
The Amazon River is also the widest river on Earth, with its width reaching up to 6 miles at times. |
|
20 percent of the water that flows into the oceans comes from the Amazon River. |
|
The Amazon River is 6,387 km (3,980 mi) long. It collects water from thousands of small rivers. |
|
Although the pyramids continued to be built until the end of the Old Kingdom, the pyramids at Giza were never surpassed in size or artistic quality of construction. |
|
Egyptian archaeologists have been stunned by the remains of their ancestors, some of which are more than 5,000 years old. |
|
The population of Fiji is around 800,000. It is the smallest independent country in the world and has the lowest population. |
|
The city of Fatikacan uses Italian as its official language. |
|
Italian is also the everyday language used by most workers in the country, while Latin is often used in religious ceremonies. |
|
All residents of the city are Roman Catholics. |
|
People have known about the basic chemical elements like gold, silver and iron since ancient times, where they can be found in nature in their original form and can be easily extracted using simple tools. |
|
Aristotle believed that everything is made up of a combination of four elements: earth, water, air and fire. |
|
It was similar to the four states of matter (in the same order): solid, liquid, gas and plasma, although it was also assumed that it could change into new materials to form what we see. |
|
Sulphides are basically a mixture of two or more metals. Don't forget that there are many elements in the periodic table. |
|
Elements like calcium and potassium are minerals. Of course, there are minerals like iron and gold as well. |
|
You can also get carbon-containing small amounts of non-metallic elements such as carbon. |
|
Everything in the universe is made of matter. All matter is made of tiny particles called atoms. |
|
Seeds are so small that trillions of them can occupy the point at the end of this sentence. |
|
Then, the pen gun was a good friend to many when it came out. |
|
Unfortunately, with the advent of new writing tools, the fountain pen has been relegated to a place of lesser use. |
|
People are now writing messages on computer screens, without the need to use paper. |
|
You can't help but wonder what the keys will do when something new comes along. |
|
The nuclear reactor works on the basis that it collects energy to create a plasma of protons and neutrons. |
|
Like a heavyweight punch to the head. The breath is taken again and a portion of that energy is released. |
|
Some seeds have unstable nuclei, which means they tend to disintegrate with a little help or none at all. |
|
The moon's surface is made up of rocks and craters. The outer layer of the moon is called the lunar crust. |
|
The mantis shrimp's eyes are about 70 centimeters close up and 100 centimeters away. |
|
It is an anemone under the sea and more fish under the reefs. |
|
There may be more water on the moon's near side because the moon is less massive. It was easier to boil water on the surface. |
|
The content theory revolves around finding what motivates people or attracts them. |
|
These theories suggest that people have certain needs or desires that emerge individually as they reach adulthood. |
|
These theories are looking for the thing that makes some people want to do the things they do and the things in their environment that make them do or not do certain things. |
|
The two most common content theories are Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Herzberg's two-factor theory. |
|
Generally, when managers start to lead their predecessors' teams, one of their behaviors is to try to stay "like the others" (or the females). |
|
This type of manager has difficulty making unpopular decisions, implementing corrective actions, assessing performance, defining accountability, and holding people accountable. |
|
On the other hand, the individual becomes someone unrecognizable who feels that everything that the team was doing and owning has changed. |
|
In the end, the captain is ultimately responsible for the success or failure of the team. |
|
This behavior often leads to conflicts between leaders and the rest of the team. |
|
The hypothetical teams are subject to the same standards as traditional teams, but there are subtle differences. |
|
Team members often serve as a point of contact for their material groups. |
|
They often have more autonomy than members of traditional teams, as their teams may meet at different times and may not be understood by their local management. |
|
The existence of a "shadow team" is real (Larsen & Larsen, 1989, p109) as it is a separate team. |
|
Every member submits their reports to the "Invisible Team". The "Invisible Team" sets the standards for all members. |
|
Why might an organization want to create a learning organization when it is already a time-consuming process? Innovation is one of the purposes of applying the principles of a learning organization. |
|
When all available resources are fully utilized through the agency's workforce management, innovation and productivity can flourish. |
|
As a result, the frustration within the organization can be channeled into creating new innovative solutions to meet the customer's needs. |
|
Before an organization can be innovative, leadership must create a culture of innovation, shared knowledge and structured learning. |
|
Angel (2006, explains how continuous improvement is used as a method to help organizations reach higher levels of performance. |
|
The data associated with neuroscience provide compelling evidence for a cognitive approach to knowledge acquisition. Thus, it narrows the research area and makes it more precise. |
|
The relationship between brain disease and scientist behavior is supported in their research. |
|
For a long time it has been known that different types of strokes, heart attacks, seizures, and amputations affect behavior and cause changes in some brain functions. |
|
The advent of new technologies allows us to look at assemblies and brain processes and conduct research on them in a way that has never been done before. |
|
This gives us a lot of information and materials to build models that help us understand the processes in our brains. |
|
While artificial intelligence is a powerful symbol of the fantasy of artificial intelligence, it is a major branch of computer science, and interacts with behavior, learning, and adaptive intelligence in the machine. |
|
Artificial intelligence research includes the creation of machines that perform tasks that require intelligent behavior. |
|
Examples of executive functions include planning, sequencing, problem-solving, responding to prompts, and recognizing handwriting, speech, and facial expressions. |
|
Things like this have become separate fields that focus on providing solutions to real life problems. |
|
Artificial intelligence is now being used in fields such as economics, medicine, engineering, and the military, and has been used to build several programming applications for home computers and video games. |
|
Field trips are a big part of any course. Often a teacher will want to take their students to places that can't be reached by bus. |
|
The technology allows for virtual field trips. Students can view artifacts in a museum or visit a swimming pool or enjoy beautiful art while sitting with their classmates in class. |
|
In addition, a field trip is a great way to revisit a specific trip and share experiences with future generations. |
|
For example, students at Bennett College in North Carolina each year design a website about their trip to the state capital, but the website is redesigned each year, but the old ones are kept online as a sort of scrapbook. |
|
Blogs can also help students improve their writing. When most students begin experimenting with blogs, they tend to write in stilted, ungrammatical prose. The presence of a community, however, can change that. |
|
While students are often the most critical audience in most cases, the blogger starts trying to improve their writing to avoid criticism. |
|
Blogs also claim that "students want to be smarter than their peers about the world around them." The need to feed the public's curiosity motivates students to be curious and useful (Toto, 2004). |
|
Blogging is a collaborative tool that encourages students to expand their learning beyond the traditional school day. |
|
The appropriate use of blogs can "allow students to become more analytical and critical; and by actively responding to materials on the Internet, students can define their own positions in relation to other people's writings as well as their own views on specific issues (Oravec, 2002). |
|
Ottawa is Canada's charming bilingual capital, home to a collection of art galleries and museums that showcase Canada's past and present. |
|
Niagara Falls is located in the far south, and in the north is the beautiful but uninhabited Iguazu Falls in Iguazu National Park in Misiones and beyond. |
|
All of these things and more shine a light on Trudeau as a Canadian gem in the eyes of the West. |
|
The large areas in the north are sparsely populated areas of some kind or another. |
|
For comparison, the number of African-Americans living in the United States is greater than the number of Canadians living in Canada. |
|
The East African islands lie in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa. |
|
The island of Madagascar is the largest, and it is an independent nation when it comes to wildlife. |
|
Most of the small islands are independent, or associated with France, and are known for their luxurious beach resorts. |
|
Islam was brought to the country, and spread over a wide area in the Moon and Mayotte. |
|
European expansion began in the 15th century, when Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama found a sea route from Europe to India. |
|
From the north, it borders the Mediterranean Sea, and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean from the south and west. |
|
Women: Ignoring the current social situation, women travelers should announce that they are married. |
|
It's majestic, but not grandiose. |
|
Women need to understand that cultural differences can be perceived as harassment and that it is common for them to be groped, etc. |
|
Being a feminist means refusing men, and you shouldn't be afraid to take a stand (don't make cultural differences an excuse!). |
|
The Phoenicians, Romans and Byzantines used the city as a strategic base called "Anfa" after its founding by the Barbarians in the 10th century before Christ. |
|
The Portuguese destroyed it and rebuilt it under the name "Casa Branca", only to evacuate it after the 1755 earthquake. |
|
The Sultan of Morocco rebuilt the city under the name of Dar al-Baydha, and Spanish merchants called it the White House because they built trading posts there. |
|
The Blue House is one of the few places to shop in all of Morocco. |
|
Finding traditional Moroccan souvenirs is easy throughout the old city, such as tajines, tagines, leather goods, rugs and all the cheap souvenirs, but all of this is aimed at tourists. |
|
Goma is a tourist city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, located in the far east near Rwanda. |
|
In 2002, Goma was devastated by the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo, which destroyed most of the city's streets, and the city center in particular. |
|
Any visits outside of Goma should be investigated to understand the ongoing conflict in North Kivu, while Goma is relatively safe. |
|
The city is also a base for climbing Kilimanjaro and some of the cheapest ways to follow the Great Rift Valley in Africa. |
|
You can hire a bodaboda (a motorbike taxi) to get around Goma, and the usual price (local) is around 500 Congolese francs for a short trip. |
|
Besides the difficulty of getting there, "Tambukto" has become a means of transport for remote areas. |
|
Tambuco is currently a poor city, despite its hearing which makes it a tourist attraction, as well as having an airport. |
|
In 1990, it was added to the list of World Heritage Sites in Danger due to desertification. |
|
It was one of the main hubs for Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s PBS series on African wonders. |
|
The city clashes violently with the rest of the country, because it is more Arab than African. |
|
The Kruger National Park is located in northeastern South Africa, and stretches along the borders of Mozambique to the east, Zimbabwe to the north, and the Crocodile River to the south. |
|
The reserve covers an area of 19,500 square kilometres and is divided into 14 distinct biomes, each supporting a unique range of wildlife. |
|
It is one of the attractive areas in South Africa and is one of the main national parks in South Africa (South African National Parks). |
|
There are daily fees to keep the park and enter it, a pattern for all national parks in southern Africa. |
|
It can be useful to buy a Wild Card, which allows you to enter a select group of South African or all South African national parks. |
|
Hong Kong Island gives Hong Kong its name and is the place that many visitors come to see. |
|
Hong Kong's skyline is reminiscent of the buildings that line the harbour in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong. |
|
To get the best views of Hong Kong, leave the island and head to Kowloon Bay. |
|
