Q1 Isit true that there are no dinosaur remains in the impact layer? A1 Claire Jordan Degree inbiology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Mon Probably. As Quincy says, it’s not material very suitable for formingfossils, plus it was laid down rapidly. But we have the remains of plants andanimals who were caught up in the tsunami a few hours later, and they include aluckless Triceratops. I would suggest that the fact that there are also few dinosaur fossilsfrom immediately before the boundary is an artefact, in that the firestormdestroyed remains which were in the process of fossilisation but not yet fullymineralised. Something similar happens with memories - I was taught that it takes about20 minutes for short-term memories to be transferred to long-term storage,if they’re going to be, and a serious blow to the head can interrupt thisprocess and cause all memory of the 20 minutes leading up to the blow to belost.

Q3 Willgenetic studies help human beings facilitate natural selection of preferredgenes in the near future? A3 Ken Saladin Formerprofessor of histology (microscopic anatomy)Mar 31 If humans select what genes are going to be passed along moresuccessfully than others, thenit’s not natural selection.

A4 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals Mon Eating rice is not a healthychoice if you have high cholesterol. Although rice is cholesterol-free, but rice is a whopping 70%carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are one of the three major nutrients, which canprovide heat for the body. 1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories. For decades, many healthexperts have recommended that people with high cholesterol should reduce theirintake of saturated fat. However, many new studies prove that people with high cholesterol need toreduce their carbohydrate intake, not saturated fat. Excess carbohydrates areconverted into glucose in the body and absorbed into the bloodstream, resultingin high blood sugar, high blood lipids and high cholesterol. Clinical studies have proven that a more healthy diet is a low-carb dietrather than a low-saturated fat diet. Therefore, people with highcholesterol need to limit the intake of high carbohydrate foods, such as: rice,wheat, steamed bread, noodles, bread, biscuits, corn, oats, sweet potatoes, potatoes, bananas, etc. Q5 Howmuch does it cost to hire a car driver monthly in Chennai? A5 Ganesh Janakiraman,Randonneur, Recruiter, and avid reader Answered Dec 20, 2013 It's usually upwards of INR 8000 which is the fixed part. Apart from thatyou might have to shell out on daily lunch allowance, uniform and other perks(loan him whenever required, bonus for festivals like Diwali, Pongal, Christmasand new year and other misc expenses). Depending upon your affluencethis could cost you anywhere between 10k to 25k Attrition in chauffeur work force is a big challenge. They tend to quitin about 3 to 6 months. 2ND ANSWER- NarayananHariharan , lives in Chennai,Tamil Nadu, India Answered Dec 18, 2013 For a good full time driver you will have to shell out between INR 10,000to INR 15,000. The range is depending on the driver's experience and yournegotiation skills :) I would imagine the very low cost of labor in India has a lot to do withit. Avoid the stress of driving in high traffic areas (I imagine there are alot in big Indian cities). Protect thecar while the car is parked or at least park it farther away in safeareas…leaving an expensive car in crowded urban areas may subject it and theowner to crime, theft and vandalism Status symbol. In india the cost of a driver would still be a minute cost compared tothe cost of an imported luxury car. Unlike say the US in which a years salaryfor full time chauffeur could cost half the cost of a medium luxury car. My note- My experience with casual drivers in Bangalore is 400-00 rupees for three hours. If weengage for a day 1000-00 allowance and 1500-00 rupees driving charge. In myarea Tambaram inChennai, it is difficult to get driverson daily wage. So I engage Taxi which is more convenient. Q6 Dodoctors actually review a CT scan, or do they just refer to the report from aradiologist? A6 Devpriyo Pal Doctor |Radiologist | Educator Sun Experience 1: During the end of my second year as a resident, I ran into a Neurologistin our department who was waiting to meet one of our consultants. When I askedhim if I could help him, he nodded and whipped out some MRI plates. He stuckthem in a view box and looked at me expectantly. By then I had learnt how to read MRIs but I was far awayfrom mastery. I looked at what I thought were either mass lesions orlarge ugly demyelinating lesions and told him what I was thinking about. He smiled at me with a look that said, “You have a long way to go, kiddo”and then when my Consultant arrived I witnessed him comfortably having adiscussion about the MRI features of Balo concentric sclerosis, a rare variantof Multiple Sclerosis.Before leaving, he gave me a pat on my back and told meto read up. Experience 2: I had a very angry Physician tell me that they were very disappointedthat I missed a large lung cancer. He shoved a CT plate towards me and pointed at the top of the liver withthe visible lung around it. Plenty of doctors are experts atinterpreting images related to their practice while there are plenty of doctorswho do not (and should not!) try to interpret the images on their own! Q7 Canyou wash money in the sink? A7 Gopala Krishnan , formerAssistant General Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom(1966-2004)Answered just now I hope the question is about coins and not currency notes. Currency notesare never washed. I have washed coins obtained from temple Hundi for removing stains andsticky oil in a plastic bowl. Water is added to half level, detergent added andcoins are kept in it for about 2 hours,shaking them every half an hour.Afterwards they are again washed in good water and dried on a newspaper. Mostcoins would become neat except corroded or had more wear and tear ones. Q8 Whichis the smallest bone in the human body? A8 Ken Saladin Formerprofessor of histology (microscopic anatomy)Mar 29 The stapes of the middle ear. The second- and third-smallest are found in the middle ear too—the malleusand incus.

A9 Claire JordanDegree inbiology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper8mo Yes. However, there’s a fairlyeasy solution - if you paint the tip of one of the blades black it causes theblades to flash as they rotate, making them visible from far enough away forbirds to evade them. It’s harder to make them safe for bats. For reasons I forget, the blades attract insects,then the insects attract bats, but the sharp change in air pressure as theblades rotate can cause bats to suffer broken blood vessels in their tiny lungs.One solution isto put the brakes on and freeze the blades for a couple of hours either side ofsunset, when bats are most active.
