  1. i think being cold blooded means that a reptile can function just as well at a lower temperature without respiring more to create heat. While a mammal cannot tolerate more than +-3 degrees from their normal body temperature (IIRC)

  2. cellular respiration is probably directly related to the number of cells with a mitochondria, which in your case, is true for all examples.

     

     

    just because they have equal mass doesn't mean they have equal number of cells, it also depends on if they are moving or not

     

    in the second case i would say respiration is higher for the 10 degrees, because the body has to generate more heat to maintain its body temperature. If it's too hot, the body also needs to expel the excess heat in terms of sweat

     

    seeds are bigger at 72 hours than at 0 hours, :P so my guess is that respiration is proportional to germination time

  3. usually they die under a week,

     

    I will quote OMIM here:

     

    "(1) In the harlequin fetus, an abnormal x-ray diffraction pattern of the horn material points to a cross-beta-protein structure instead of the normal alpha-protein structure of keratin. (2) Bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma (113800) is characterized by an early formation of clumps and perinuclear shells due to an abnormal arrangement of tonofibrils. (3) In the Curth-Macklin form of ichthyosis hystrix (146590), concentric unbroken shells of abnormal tonofilaments form around the nucleus. (4) In ichthyosis hystrix gravior (146600) only rudimentary tonofilaments are found with compensatory production of mucous granules"

     

    however, there has been one case where a harlequin fetus managed to live to his teenage years. I'm not sure if he's still alive.

     

     

    also for the curious minded: do not image google it unless you know what you are about to see.

  4. anyways, the rock might be sandstone, i'm not too good with geology to distinguish the different types.

     

    I really don't care what size the resulting rocks end up being, as long as it breaks into pieces that one can feasibly remove.

     

    some of my friends have been debating over thermiting it, but i think the amount of shrapnel it will give off is just suicidal

  5. no offense but that article regarding the link between vaccines and autism seems to be near rubbish on its amish basis.

     

    Why? Several possibilities:

     

    Because it is far more likely that the Amish don't tend to outbreed, meaning that if its founder population don't have the autistic gene, its descendents won't either.

     

    It simply just may be their lifestyle, the fact that they aren't fat and do everything without the aid of heavy machinery or technology gives them a higher fitness. Not being autistic might just be a side effect

     

    Besides, we need vaccines more than it hurts us. If we didn't have vaccines polio and other viruses would do far more damage than autism

     

    Also can you cite your CDC source?

  6. hi..

     

    I'm looking to code a program in C that does this:

     

    solve for numbers of m such that the net result is the greatest

    [math]-(m^2+11m-30.75)/(2(2m+1))[/math]

     

    2 modes,

     

    m as integers

    m as all real numbers

     

    the method doesn't matter, i'm thinking along iterative methods though

     

    This isn't a homework problem just to clarify. But a own personal investigation to help find a solution to a physics problem.
