![]() Some were published in his books of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. There are many photographic portraits of Alfred Russel Wallace, spanning his extremely long life. ![]() ![]() The other papers, "On the Habits of the Orang-Utan of Borneo" (1856), "Attempts at a Natural Arrangement of Birds" (1856), "On the Natural History of the Aru Islands" (1857), "Note on the Theory of Permanent and Geographical Varieties" (1858) represent the most important published scholarship on evolution in the decade leading up to the Wallace and Darwin publications on the process of natural selection. The first of these papers (1855) "On the Law which has Regulated the Introduction of New Species" was to have an enormous impact on the thinking of Charles Lyell. Beyond his remarkable insights into evolutionary biology, he would also be widely known for his ardent advocacy of spiritualism, land nationalization, anti-vaccinationism, and for much of his later life, a highly teleological view of evolution.īefore Charles Darwin published his first clear (and public) statements on evolution in 18, Alfred Russel Wallace had already published a series of brilliant papers that bear on the process of evolution and species formation. Wallace would live a long life (1823 - 1913). And like Charles Darwin, he too would credit the reading of Malthus' On Population as a central stimulus for the key insight of natural selection. Like Charles Darwin, he too had a vast experience of field work in South America (four years of professional collecting from 1848 - 1852). Alfred Russel Wallace, codiscoverer of the principle of natural selection was also the founder of the field of biogeography.

![]() There are meters that can be used to measure background radiation in your area, but there is no simple screening test. You can not see, smell, taste, or otherwise detect Radium-226 or Radium-228. For those interested in the numbers, a picoCurie is 0.000,000,000,001 (one-trillionth) of a Curie, an international measurement unit of radioactivity." ( Source) "pCi/l= picocuries per liter, the most popular method of reporting radon levels. The EPA MCL level is 5 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), but the MCLG is zero and the EPA confirms it is a carcinogen. What are the Standards for Radium 226 and Radium 228? Exposure to radiation from these radium isotopes has also been associated with anemia, skin and blood disorders, osteoporosis and other bone disorders, cataracts, kidney disease, liver disease, and an impaired immune system. What are the Health Risks for Radium 226 and Radium 228?īecause they produce ionizing radiation, Radium 226 and Radium 228 are known carcinogens. Radium is the immediate parent of radon gas, so, in addition to the radiation from the decay of the radium, there is the radiation from the decay of the radon it becomes plus the radiation from the radon daughters. There is also Radium-223 (from U-235) but since there is so little U-235 around, Ra-223 is normally not a problem. ![]() The primary isotopes are Radium-226 (from U-238) and Radium-228 (from Th-232). Radium is present in a number of different isotopes. This radiation has been shown to cause bone, liver, and breast cancer in humans and animals. Because of this instability the element decays and releases radiation in the form of alpha (Ra-226) and beta (Ra-228) particles and gamma rays. Radium is a radioactive element all of whose isotopes are unstable. How Do Radium 226 and Radium 228 become a problem? When Thorium-232 (Th-232) decays, it produces Radium 228 that then releases beta particles to produce Actinium-228 (Ac-228) and so on (see Uranium and Thorium Decay Chains in our Water Science Basics section). When Radium-226 decays, it releases alpha particles to form Radon-222 (Rn-222). Within the decay series of both uranium and thorium, alpha radiation is emitted in the transition between some isotopes and beta and gamma radiation at other steps. Radium is formed in an intermediate step in the radioactive decay series of uranium and thorium which end as a stable isotope of lead. Radium is a naturally-occurring radioactive metal that is present in the Earth's crust and can be found in plant tissue, animal tissue, soil, and bedrock.

Radial head fractures may be difficult to visualize on initial imaging but should be suspected when there are limitations of elbow extension and supination following trauma. Combined fractures involving both the ulna and radius generally require surgical correction. ![]() These fractures are treated with immobilization or surgery, depending on the degree of displacement and angulation. Isolated midshaft ulna (nightstick) fractures are often caused by a direct blow to the forearm. It should be noted that these fractures may be complicated by a median nerve injury. A nondisplaced, or minimally displaced, distal radius fracture is initially treated with a sugar-tong splint, followed by a short-arm cast for a minimum of three weeks. In adults, distal radius fractures are the most common forearm fractures and are typically caused by a fall onto an outstretched hand. Depending on the degree of angulation, buckle and greenstick fractures can be managed with immobilization. Greenstick fractures, which have cortical disruption, are also common in children. Incomplete compression fractures without cortical disruption, called buckle (torus) fractures, are common in children. If initial imaging findings are negative and suspicion of fracture remains, splinting and repeat radiography in seven to 14 days should be performed. Evaluation with radiography or ultrasonography usually can confirm the diagnosis. A fall onto an outstretched hand is the most common mechanism of injury for fractures of the radius and ulna. Fractures of the radius and ulna are the most common fractures of the upper extremity, with distal fractures occurring more often than proximal fractures. ![]() Thus, the short head will be worked to a greater extent in these exercises. as if performing a biceps pose in bodybuilding). Given that the long head of the biceps also has a secondary role in abduction of the shoulder, it also will become actively insufficient when performing curling movements where the the arms are raised out to the sides (i.e. ![]() ![]() Conversely, during performance of movements where the upper arm is held out in front of the body, the long head is slackened to a greater degree (a phenomenon called active insufficiency) and therefore force production is compromised. Why is this significant? Well, during performance of exercises where the upper arm is held behind the body, the long head is placed in a greater position of stretch compared to the short head and therefore is able to generate maximal force. The long head of the muscle crosses the glenohumeral joint at the shoulder while the short attaches at the coracoid process on the front aspect of the scapula (shoulder blade). The biceps brachii is a two-headed muscle, comprised of the short head (which sits on the inner portion of the upper arm) and the long head (which sits on the outer portion of the upper arm).

Lions communicate through vocalizations such as loud roars, by leaving scent markings, and through visual cues, such as the darkness of the mane. The males roar to protect their territory from competing males, to attract mating partners, and to discourage other predators. Lions communicate overall health, fighting ability, and desirability as a mate through sounds, sights, and smells. Lions are the most social of the felines, forming matriarchal groups called “prides” that consist of females in stable social units. ![]() The typical pride consists of ten to fifteen lions, with several adult females and their offspring and up to four males. Large prides, with up to 30 individuals, have a competitive advantage in hunting and in protecting their territory.Īfrican lions are the second largest cats in the world, after the tiger, with some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight. The lion has the loudest roar of all the big cats. ![]() Male lions roar primarily to project their strength and dominance and to defend their territory from competing males. ![]() A lion’s roar is so loud that it can reach 114 decibels at one metre (I might ask what you are doing within 1 m of a roaring lion?) This is above the human pain threshold of 110 db and it is no surprise that we humans can hear a lion roaring up to 5 miles or 8 km away. One of our most amazing experiences has been sleeping in a tent in lion country and hearing the lions roaring in the distance. While these are welcome changes, I was hoping for a much more significant change to the UI of the Apple Watch.

On top of that, the Apple Watch Dock is getting a little refreshed. ![]() These new notifications are also smart, and they will only use the new slimmer banners when your actively using your Apple Watch. Notifications have been redesigned to be less interruption in watchOS 9, meaning the banners are much slimmer and take upon less screen space. While it didn't make the same waves like all the features announced during the keynote, some of the changes in watchOS 9 you may have missed are some slight UI improvements. The UI gets some help I'd like to see more Of course, all your sleep stage data will be viewable on your Apple Watch in the Sleep app, and you can even view more detailed breakdowns of your time asleep in the health app on your iPhone. With the introduction of Sleep Stages, using both the accelerometer and heart rate sensor in your Appel Watch, watchOS 9 will detect when you are in REM, Core, or Deep sleep. Since the Sleep app came out in watchOS 7 and sleep tracking became possible on your Apple Watch, I have been hoping for a more robust experience, and watchOS 9 looks to have the answer.
