Cheetah do not abandon hunts because they overheat.
Hunting cheetah reportedly store metabolic heat during the chase and abandon chases because they overheat. Using biologging to remotely measure the body temperature (every minute) and locomotor activity (every 5 min) of four free-living cheetah, hunting spontaneously, we found that cheetah abandoned hunts, but not because they overheated. Body temperature averaged 38.4°C when the chase was term...
متن کاملFirst, do not abandon.
865 PHYSICIAN ABANDONMENT of the imminently dying patient is an ancient medical tradition that is deeply rooted in the culture of biomedicine and has stood the test of time. The origin of this curious practice can be traced back to Hippocrates1,2 who supposedly recommended that physicians should abandon the desperately ill. Hippocrates is thought to have made this recommendation for the followi...
متن کاملPathogenic archaebacteria: do they not exist because archaebacteria use different vitamins?
Sir, Recently in these pages, Cavicchioli et al. addressed an interesting question, namely: do pathogenic archaebacteria exist? In themain, they cite evidence to establish the following points. (1)Noarchaebacteria haveyet been found tobeagents of disease. (2) Archaebacteria are sufficiently abundant in non-extreme environments as to provide them ample opportunity to infect animals and humans. (...
متن کاملUniversal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?
Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...
متن کاملFacts Do Not Cease to Exist Because They Are Ignored: Relativised Uniform Equivalence with Answer-Set Projection
Recent research in answer-set programming (ASP) focuses on different notions of equivalence between programs which are relevant for program optimisation and modular programming. Prominent among these notions is uniform equivalence, which checks whether two programs have the same semantics when joined with an arbitrary set of facts. In this paper, we study a family of more fine-grained versions ...
