Will Pluto and Neptune ever collide?

Hmm interesting one. Yeah I don't know about that one. Many planets who's orbits are close to one another set up resonances that prevent them from ever colliding, like one planet does 3 orbits for ever 2 of the other or something like that. But I don't know if this is the case for Pluto and Neptune, I don't think so.

Close. sp2 is trigonal planar - it looks a bit like a three-leaf clover. The 1s atomic orbital is spherical, the 2p orbitals are infinity-shaped in the x, y, and z planes. sp2 takes the x and y 2p orbitals and the 1s orbital and combines them.

Good.

Good.

Phenolphthalein is an indicator for acid-base titrations. It is colourless at acidic pH, and pink at basic pH. The turning point is around 8.4, from what I recall.

Caffeine is an adenosine receptor antagonist. Adenosine (chemically related to ATP, but not in function) is in general a depressant - blocking the adenosine receptor renders it temporarily useless, causing a net stimulatory effect.

The hyoid is an arched bone in the neck. It's not directly attached to any other bones, and it is easily palpable and can be moved from side to side.

Nothing - they're exactly the same. Both involve groups of participants allocated into intervention and control groups by measurement of one or more variables, and followed over a period of time to determine the possible effect of said measured variable(s).

E. coli.

Arthur Wellesley was the Duke of Wellington, and he is famous for being the British general in charge of the Peninsular Wars and the Battle of Waterloo against the French under Napoleon.

And the previous questions' answers:

Lake Trasimene is where Hannibal performed arguably the greatest ambush ever in the Second Punic War.

Hydroxyapatite is the mineral in mature bone.

Partly correct. Cones are for colour vision; rods are for motion and low-light situations. However, the human eye is very much evolved for our circumstances - we are diurnal and during the day we require a lot of colour differentiation and peripheral motion detection. You are right in that the actual photoreceptors are in the deepest part of the retina and light has to travel a long way to get there. What you are wrong about is in the following:

1) In the region where most sight is perceived (the fovea) there are absolutely no blood vessels. There are also no rods. There are blood vessels throughout the rest of the eye, but those areas contribute an insignificant amount to normal colour vision.
2) Overall, it is not inefficient to have our photoreceptors deep. This is because there is a lot of light during the day, when humans are most active. Moreover, the amount of activity that our photoreceptors perform in such high light intensities means that they have a very high metabolic rate. The photoreceptor cells are placed near the basement membrane to provide easy access to blood vessels behind the retina to cycle away metabolites and provide oxygen.
The opposite can be seen in octopus eyes, where the photoreceptors are placed closest to the incoming light. For these animals, it is possible because due to the low light levels, metabolic rate is very low, and as much light as possible must be used. Whereas on top of the cornea, lens, and humours of the eye, an extra few micrometers of largely transparent connective and nervous tissue is almost insignificant given the amount of light coming into the eyes normally.

The Link Reaction is the decarboxylation of pyruvate that occurs in the mitochondrion. The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA allows it to enter the Krebs Cycle.

Correct.

Six. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr. You can remember the fates of his wives as: divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived. Both Catherine Parr and Anne of Cleves survived Henry VIII.

Hot dog, we have a wiener. It's named after the Canon XL, part number R.

Sorry Locut0s, it's not the transistor. The transistor was developed in the 1940s, not the 1900s. However, you're getting warmer. The transistor replaced this part.

More questiony goodness...

What was the first image ever on television?

Early radios used a complex set of batteries. Who invented the first radio set you could plug into the wall? Bonus: name a product currently sold under their name.

What was the original inspiration for Pokémon?

What did Che Guavara do before becoming a revolutionary? Where did he work?

What's liberation theology?

1. great question. i want to say felix the cat or the inventor's wife or something, but i'm sure that's wrong. what is it?

2. motorola. cell phones.

3. gay jamaicans. jk. asians (can't remember if it was japan or china... probably japan) kept insects like crickets and beetles as pets and would have them fight other pets.

4. medical doctor

5. pfft... got me. maybe something having to do with God wants us to be free and care for everyone and liberate ourselves from worldly possessions or something... i dunno. maybe like communism, but in religion-form... /shrug


i'm very interested in the first question. that's a really good trivia question.

If a study is longitudinal, it simply means that it is conducted monitoring individuals over a period of time (compared to a cross-sectional study). But a longitudinal study is the same as a cohort study.

Also I object to the Wikipedia article on longitudinal studies. In particular:

"Longitudinal studies allow social scientists to distinguish short from long-term phenomena, such as poverty. If the poverty rate is 10% at a point in time, this may mean that 10% of the population are always poor, or that the whole population experiences poverty for 10% of the time. It is not possible to conclude which of these possibilities is the case using one-off cross-sectional studies. Types of longitudinal studies include cohort studies and panel studies. Cohort studies sample a cohort, defined as a group experiencing some event (typically birth) in a selected time period, and studying them at intervals through time. Panel studies sample a cross-section, and survey it at (usually regular) intervals."


So it allows differentiation of long- and short-term phenomena. But this requires following the same cohort over a period of time (which is what a cohort study does). But then, why bother differentiating between a panel study and a cohort study (note that Panel Study links to the cohort study page)? Either it's exactly the same as a cohort study, or it's completely useless as a study protocol.

1. what is the most dense bone in the body?
um... calcaneus? Guess.
2. where were the terrorists that were constantly trying to get doc brown from? and why were they trying to kill him?
Libya. I think
3. what's funny about how rasputin died?
Ghostbusters made fun of it in GB2. The how Vigo died part is pretty much the same.
4. what is another name for a german mastiff and what two dogs were bred to create it?
Shepard Mastif? German Shepard/Mastif?
5. why was so much extra skin bred into the neapolitan mastiff breed?
Bugs?
6. what are the two purposes of russian stimulation?
To stimulate Russians. Communism?
7. why are women more prone to knee injuries than men?
Wider hips make an increased angle.
8. what's the difference between a bar-room fracture and a boxer's fracture?
Depends on your definition. I believe boxers is the scaphoid break and I am guessing barroom you are referring to the fifth metacarpal.
9. what is the diagnosis of someone who has too much thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh)?
Graves.
10. who was edson arantes do nascimento?
A dude with a weird ass name.

And fuck I didn't read the thyroid question right.
Too much TSH would indicate a hypothyroidism. You aren't produceing Thyroid hormone so your body kicks it into over production. Variety of causes Autoimmune would be hosimoto's but idiopathic is more common.

Graves is autoimmune against the TSH receptor which clicks it into over drive. Your TSH would be low in that case.

My vacuum tube question is really throwing people for a loop. And on a computer forum. For shame.

Okay, here's the answer. The Triode, invented by Lee De Forest in 1906. There are two types of tubes. Triodes were the first device to amplify electrical signals. No need for high voltage spark gaps to send signals. A triode could take a low energy signal and boost it, making mass communication and modern electronics possible.

Nope. This is a bit obscure so I'll give this one. Last freebie though. The plug-in radio was developed by Canadian inventor Ted Rogers Sr, based on collaborative work with several Americans. He called it the Roger's Batteryless. Early radios used three different batteries to power the tubes, as each component required different DC voltages. The Batteryless used AC tubes instead, and a transformer. So what does Rogers do today? The company founded by his son, Ted Rogers Jr., is a telecom provider that offers cable, cell phone, and internet services. They also own several radio stations (natch), a television network, and magazines.

motorola made the first battery-less radio, i thought. didn't know if it was the first plug-in one, though. i just assumed.

1. what is the most dense bone in the body?

Hmm don't know but I'm going to guess it's one of the smaller bones in the hands or feet. Not going to name one cause it's just a guess.

2. where were the terrorists that were constantly trying to get doc brown from? and why were they trying to kill him?

I have no idea who doc brown even is.

3. what's funny about how rasputin died?

Did he choke to death on something?

4. what is another name for a german mastiff and what two dogs were bred to create it?

Don't know. Mastiffs are really large dogs so I don't think you mean the German shepherd.

5. why was so much extra skin bred into the neapolitan mastiff breed?

No idea

6. what are the two purposes of russian stimulation?

Wat? To get a girl off?

7. why are women more prone to knee injuries than men?

I know not.

8. what's the difference between a bar-room fracture and a boxer's fracture?

One takes place in a bar room the other in a boxer?

9. what is the diagnosis of someone who has too much thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh)?

??

10. who was edson arantes do nascimento?

A guy.

Remind me not ask you for more questions. These are not my type at all
