What is temporal accuracy?
The lake edge example can also be used to introduce the concept of temporal accuracy, the accuracy of the temporal information held in a database. For example, if a lake polygon had the time stamp of the date of the aerial photography from which it was digitized, then that time stamp should not be in error. However, temporal accuracy should not be confused with the "database time," the date the polygon was recorded in a database (which might be a considerable time after the aerial photography was flown), or with a currency" or "up-to-dateness," a measure of how well the database reflects the real-world situation at the present or a particular time in the past
What should a first aid kit for poisoning contain?
The problem with this idea is that it goes against the principles of First Aid (at least as practiced in the US and UK). That is, we stabilize the patient and treat at a treatment facility. With most poisonings, the first aid procedure is the same -- keep the patient alive, breathing, maintain circulation, and drive fast. Poison treatments are not typically something you'd be equipped to do in the field. That said, here's a little about toxins: * Corrosives -- strong acids and bases * Neurotoxins * Necrotoxins * Hemotoxins * Endotoxins (self-producing) * General systemic toxins (sort of a catchall) * Biotoxins * Radiotoxins And I'm sure there are more. Some have antidotes; some don't. Some present a major threat to Health Care Workers as well (radiological toxins are a good example of this). In many cases, the toxins are so rare that, if there is an antitoxin, there may not even be a sample in the country (example -- the experimental antitoxin for the stong of the Brown Recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa)has not yet been approved by the FDA, so if someone in America needed it, it'd have to be flown in). Military tox kits, last I heard, were limited to potassium iodide (minor help for radiotoxins), Sarin (GB) antidotes (atropine, pralidoxime, and I think diazepam) in syrette, and epinephrin syrettes, for antigenic reactions. Note that this is extremely specific, targeting only the battlefield, and only a very few weapons. Note also that these antagonists are themselves pretty darn powerful and as such quite toxic in their own way. In summary, there really is no such thing as a first aid kit for poisons.
How do you take care of an injured butterfly?
You can keep a butterfly alive during the winter months as long as it is kept inside in warm temperatures. They are not able to regulate their body temperatures and this is why they usually die once it gets colder outside.
Do moths sting you?
There is at least one spitting moth, which I have been unable to identify by name. I have it in a speciment jar, for inspection. At approximately 10.00 p.m., 13 July 2009, i tspat a grey milky cloud of droplets over my wife. The droplets did not irritate, or seem toxic in any way. The circumatnces of the spitting were that the moth had flown into our dining room and had gone directly to the ceiling lights. It seem to react aggressively to my wife's attempt to shoo" it back out the door. I used a fairly large polythene container to trap it, using the bulk of the box to defend against further sprays. I have it now in a glass jar. Evry time I approach it it becomes very agitated. The colouration is plain pale grey/brown, with a central rear russet triangle to the upper side of the wings. The lower side is also plain with a ragged dark grey transverse line running from wing edge to wing edge at the rear of the wings. The dimensions are: wingspan, extended, approximately 20-25mm. Length approx. 15-20mm.
What are real life examples of Darwin's theory of evolution?
An example of this theory can be seen in the Galápagos Islands. The Galápagaos are 16 islands off the coast of South America that Charles observed in 1835. These islands, we now know, were formed 4 million years ago from volcanic activity and had no life on them. Therefore, any animal living there now must have either flown or drifted to the islands. One species thriving in the Galapagos is the Marine Iguana, the only sea going Iguana (a type of lizard) in the world. So, if it is known that the Galápagos were initially empty, "Where did this Iguana come from?" Darwin asked. Other reptiles came to the Galapagos Islands like the Yellow Land Iguana from South America. Reptiles such as these, being able to survive for long periods of time without food or water, could have drifted to the Galápagos on driftwood or bark. Suppose the land Iguana had no food, due to overpopulation, and was forced to feed in the shallow waters on seaweed, small fish and molluscs. If one Iguana could swim better and could hold onto rocks better than others, even slightly, it would get more food and become stronger and healthier. It would therefore win more mates and reproduce more whilst its other brothers and sisters die from starvation. Later generations from this Iguana inherit and refine this talent and will survive and reproduce. Now, there are more of these skilled Iguanas who can also gather food from the sea. Thousands of generations later, with these traits selected, we end up with a new species, the Marine Iguana, which now far outnumbers the Land Iguana.
