Pranam 1 DOGs The first thing to note is: there’s no such thing as “the dog.” Just like humans, each dog is different. So while scientists are working hard on collecting data about the way dogs experience the world, it’s important to remember that their findings aren’t designed to give you a blueprint to your particular pet. The studies can be interesting, useful guides, but the real joy of dog cognition is in getting curious about the way your own dog thinks.
While you get to know your dog’s mind, remember that there are many different kinds of intelligence. Some dogs might excel at gauging social situations, others might be adept at learning words, while still others might have great problem-solving abilities — or your dog might have some other cognitive skill entirely. The research had proved that dog and Human minds are corelated. Although every dog is unique, there is enough evidence to indicate that species-wide one of the really special things about dogs is how well they understand humans. “They are very attentive to and responsive to us, which is a great social cognitive skill,” Dr. Alexandra Horowitz, head of the Dog Cognition Lab <https://dogcognition.weebly.com/> at Barnard College, Columbia University, told me. Researchers don’t entirely agree on why dogs are so socially savvy <https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/news/dogs-social-skills-study-shows/>. The prevailing view is that their social intelligence is evolutionary: { dogs are found 14000 years back as per fossils discovered} the pets we know today, breeding has favored qualities that make dogs good companions to humans, such as friendliness and an affinity for us, which make them good at reading our behavior. There’s also a theory that each dog simply acquires his or her social intelligence through the sheer amount of time spent around humans – that’s why puppy socialization <https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/training/puppy-socialization/> is so important. The answer might be a combination of these two factors – of evolution and socialization. Either way, the result is a species with a remarkable fondness for and understanding of humans. AGE OF DOMESTICATIONS IS IN MANY 1000S OF YEARS; and dogs are seen in in Hinduism scriptures too; a tribe Pulayan reared dogs for hunting; Kshatriyas had dogs to spy. Today Military forces have dogs in the front to identify mines; and USA troop left many dogs when they retreated from Afganisthan on aug 31 2021. This manifests in many ways. Zachary Silver, a Ph.D. student in the Comparative Cognition Lab <https://caplab.yale.edu/> at Yale University, studies the way dogs interpret the social world. “They’re extremely skillful at following our communicative cues, especially our points and our gazes,” he told me. “But it even goes a step further: they pay really close attention to how we interact with each other.” For instance, there’s evidence to suggest that, in some contexts, dogs will notice whether a human is helpful or unhelpful, and favor the helpful person. Silver’s current research focuses on dogs’ understanding of humans’ perspectives: he’s working to build on previous findings indicating that, in some contexts, if food is hidden such that a dog sees one person observe the hiding and one miss it, they are more likely to take a hint about its whereabouts from the person who watched it being hidden. This suggests that dogs might be drawing all sorts of complex conclusions about what we know and feel. As Silver observes, “Dogs do pretty sophisticated things regarding understanding our own perspective.” The Dog’s Nose Knows If humans want to understand what it’s like to be a dog, the nose is an excellent place to start. It’s well known that dogs have a much more powerful sense of smell than humans, but did you know just how much more powerful? As Alexandra Horowitz outlines in her *New York Times* bestselling book “Being a Dog: Following the Dog Into a World of Smell”: *Explosive-detection dogs smell as little as a picogram—a trillionth of a gram— of TNT or other explosive. What might it be like to notice a picogram of an odor? … The average cinnamon roll has about a gram of cinnamon in it. Sure, the human nose is on it, from the moment we open the door of the house. Now imagine the smell of one trillion cinnamon rolls. That’s what the dog coming in with us smells when we enter.* And GOD and DOG are two sides of a coin and protects when close to them (KR) I HAD 3 DOGS AND THE LAST WAS AN Alsatian (German shepherd reared from 7th day of high breed) named by me as Venkatesh. My wife used to feed it with her hands; whenever I was away from my home for weeks, HE (he) did his job so diligently; and the veterinarian used to be frightened of his postures and would receive the injections only if I am there asking him to take it. None can near him; he had not bitten any one; but if any one steps in he will jump nowhere from a corner and arrest the man or woman, placing the forelegs on his/ her chest ,waiting for us to command or instructions; when my children return back from the school even at a distance of 500 ft hearing theory cycle bells, HE (he) will run inside barking to my wife their arrival; it was (all the three) a pure vegetarian dog.

The faster moving molecules transfer part of the energy to their slower moving neighbours – so transferring heat through the object • A ‘steady state’ is achieved when the heat entering the object at one side is balanced by that being emitted from the other side. Throughout the period of time, the object’s heat remains constant. • Metals are highly conductive whereas gases are not. *Convection* • Liquids and gases are fluids. [image: image.png] *Typical example of convection used to warm space* (air conditioners) • Convection is the movement of heat via currents as heated molecules move from hot places to cooler places. - When molecules are heated in a fluid, they vibrate faster. - Higher temperature fluid molecules expand the space they occupy. - The resulting heated space is less dense compared with the cooler spaces - The heated, less dense fluid rises to replace the denser, cooler fluid, which in turn sinks into the warmer areas. - The repeated rising and falling of warming and cooling liquid or gas sets up the convection current. - Through warming up one side of a solid container of fluid, the convection currents can transfer heat to the other sides; or heat between two solid objects sandwiching a fluid. *Radiation* *Electromagnetic Radiation & Electromagnetic Spectrum (courtesy Astronomy News)* • All objects absorb and emit thermal radiation (aka infrared electromagnetic radiation). • Heat energy is transferred via waves, not particles. • The Earth is heated through thermal radiation from the Sun. *Solar radiation heating concrete floor* • Thermal radiation is emitted as a result of the random movements of atoms and molecules in matter. Since these atoms and molecules are composed of charged particles (protons and electrons) their movement causes the emission of electromagnetic radiation, which carries energy away from the surface of the body. • Thermal radiation is absorbed well by : - Water, water vapour, glass, wood, brick, stone, concrete, asphalt, copper, • Thermal radiation is reflected well by : - Aluminium foil KR IRS 15921 On Wed, 15 Sept 2021 at 08:48, 'gopala krishnan' via Thatha_Patty < thatha_patty@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > > > *CULTURAL QA 09-2021-15* > > *Being compilation there may be errors* > > *Q1 Will Queen Elizabeth II frequently visit Prince Philip's > grave?* > > *A1 Chris Smith May 19* > > *He doesn’t have a ‘grave’.* > > *He is in the vault under St George’s Chapel where he will remain until > she dies and they will be laid to rest together in the George VI Memorial > Chapel in St George’s Chapel.* > > *If she wants to visit the vault she can do so.* > > *If she wants to go to St George’s Chapel and pray she can do so but she > usually attends a more private service in the private chapel in Windsor > Castle, which was redesigned during the restoration after the 1992 fire.* > > *She may not feel a need to visit a coffin to feel close to him.
