CULTURAL QA 05-2023-07 By G and his accepted error edited by KR 7523 Q1 Why do dogs bark at cats?
KR Why G is always barking at KR? The question is similar to that. Every specie has a rival and show their sounds@ vocal cords. The answer is heshyam, a hunch, unsupported by solid vent. All animals and Human are territorial based only. That is why even though residing somewhere, they get the affinity to their cast, creed, race and language. Tom and Gerry cartoon if seen one can understand instead of wasting on gossip. Now what exactly the science and research say about? "Dog-cognition researchers do not study 'intelligence' per se; we look at different aspects of cognition," Alexandra Horowitz, a senior research fellow who specializes in dog cognition at Barnard College in New York. "At its simplest form, cats are smart at the things cats need to do, and dogs at dog things," she said. "I don't think it makes any sense at all to talk about relative 'smarts' of species." "Asking whether a dog is smarter than a cat is like asking whether a hammer is a better tool than a screwdriver — it depends on what it was designed for,". Animal intelligence is typically divided into three broad areas: problem-solving ability, concept formation (the ability to form general concepts from specific concrete experiences) and social intelligence. Q3 Is a banana a fruit or a vegetable? Why? KR As usual repeat Q4 Do washing machines need voltage stabilizer as led tv? KR Repeated again Q5 What is something one learned as a doctor that they never taught in medical school? KR Did we all ask to read it again and again? Q7 What is one thing that doctors will never tell you? KR What was “hidden” by your favourite doctor sir wrt the Q? Q9 What are some examples of green fruits? KR What is meant by green fruits? Colour or fresh or fruits? I do not understand. Fruits are classified as 7 only in my healthy food encyclopaedia as - apples and pears. - citrus – oranges, grapefruits, mandarins and limes. - stone fruit – nectarines, apricots, peaches and plums. - tropical and exotic – bananas and mangoes. - berries – strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, kiwifruit and passionfruit. - melons – watermelons, rock melons and honeydew melons. Nowhere I saw that term; apart from this there are about a dozen vegetables classified as fruit. Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan, 79, on 07-05-2023.

A3 Weights Loss Diet, Health Director > | Loving Father | Business Director10h A banana is a fruit, not a > vegetable. It is classified as a berry, which is a type of fruit that > develops from a single ovary and has multiple seeds. Bananas are one of the > most popular fruits in the world, and they are grown in tropical regions > all over the globe. There are several characteristics that make bananas > unquestionably some fruit. First, they have seeds, which is a defining > characteristic of all fruits. Additionally, bananas grow on trees, which is > another trait shared by most fruits. Bananas are also an excellent source > of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and fibre.

Whether you're enjoying a banana as a healthy > snack or using it to sweeten your favourite recipe, this versatile fruit is > sure to add flavour and nutrition to your diet. Q4 Do washing > machines need voltage stabilizer as led tv? A4 Vatsal Talati, > Electrical Engineer6y Yea Washing Machines do need Voltage stabilizer if > it’s not embedded in it by company itself. First, let me clear the myth > that led TV's needs voltage stabilizer. No, led TVs in fact none of the > electronics items require voltage stabilizer that is because in their power > circuit we already have SMPS (switched mode power supply) whose function is > to reduce the incoming 230V to either 12V or 24V based on the requirement. > So, speaking Electronics don't require 230 V for their operation. So, > whether incoming voltage to our house decreases or increases there is no > pronounced effect on this electronics appliance. Just amount of current > which they were drawing will increase or decrease based on voltage > increases or decreases. Best example for this is of Electric bulb, as > voltage goes down, amount of current which it draws decreases and thus its > intensity becomes dim. Though we need to take care of this electronic > appliances from voltage surges or spikes. Voltage spikes damages our power > circuit (one in which SMPS is included) of electronic devices without > damaging other parts. Why Washing Machines requires Voltage stabilizer: Now > Washing Machines are designed to run on rated supply voltage and rated load > and that is when their efficiency is maximum. Now Washing Machines have > motor included in them to spin the clothes (that is load), so based on the > load (no of clothes to clean) motor will draw specific current from the > supply. Now under normal operating condition at rated voltage and at the > nominal load, motor will draw rated current from the supply. Now suppose as > voltage decreases, but still our load is same so power requirement to spin > it is still same and thus as voltage decreases, current drawn by motor > increases to spin the load. As a result, temperature of Armature windings > of motor increases and this may burn out the motor. That's why Voltage > stabilizer is required for loads especially wherein motor is included. > Though 5℅ up or down fluctuation of voltage from its rated value is allowed > for most of the appliances. Also, now a day with most of the appliances > specific wide range of voltage variation is mentioned and appliance will > work perfectly fine within that range. I have mentioned 230V as rated > considering Indian standards. Q5 What is something one learned as a > doctor that they never taught in medical school? A5 Tiny Nair, > Cardiologist at PRS Hospital, Trivandrum Updated 5y. I had finished my MBBS > and was pursuing MD in internal medicine in one of the best government > colleges in Kerala. Clearing the tough MD entrance by merit gave me an aura > and self-pride, which comes along with the name tag and the white coat of a > fresh graduate. I was posted in a ward at the back of the main building. A > middle-aged man, admitted with some innocuous illness collapsed, his > breathing was heavy, an obvious sign of cardiac arrest.

Other residents and the duty registrar quickly joined me. > Initially we got back pulse, put him on a trolley and rushed him to the > cardiac ICU, which was little far away, continuing intermittent chest > compression and oxygen. Despite our heroic measures, the patient was > continuing to be bad and struggling to breathe, with feeble pulse. Every > staff in the ICU was running; the senior-most nurse in the ICU (almost on > the verge of her retirement) was watching all our efforts. She suddenly > stepped in and said, “can you just hold on for a moment?” She opened the > patient’s mouth, extended his neck, and in one swift movement introduced a > Magills forceps (a large holding/catching device) into the patient’s mouth. > She pulled out the denture that the patient had swallowed; that was the > reason for his choking. It was not a cardiac arrest, just that he had > choked on his loose denture. The man became quiet; the heroic doctors > silent, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. After mumbling some kind of > apology and ‘thank you sister’ I left. The weight of my degree suddenly > felt like a burden, the white coat too uncomfortable. What they didn’t tell > me in medical school was that degree cannot match experience. Today, as a > senior consultant, during our ICU rounds, if I feel the patient is fine and > can be shifted out, I ask the duty nurse whether it is OK to shift out the > patient or not. After all, I see the patient for 10 minutes twice a day, > while the nurse spends the entire day with the patient. I may know more > intricate biochemistry and pathology, but she has better intuitions about > the patient. **Take her judgement into confidence too; believe me, it is > good to believe her. **Edit - Thanks Kavya Bhat for the spelling > correction.

A6 Vishnu Ravi, Aviation Enthusiast | Content > Creator 18h It is a common misconception that all commercial jets are > equipped with four engines. The number of engines varies depending on the > type and purpose of the plane. While four engines supply greater power, > enabling the use of commercial, cargo, and military planes, they also > entail higher maintenance costs. Each engine needs regular inspections and > servicing, accounting for nearly half of airliner maintenance expenditures. > Consequently, airlines may find it less appealing to keep four engines. > Initially, many jet airliners were equipped with four engines, but current > passenger jet designs tend to favour two engines. For instance, the Boeing > 787 and Airbus A350, both of which were recently introduced, are two-engine > planes. The only commercial plane currently being produced with four > engines is the Boeing 747, while the Airbus A340 and double-decker Airbus > A380 are other examples.

As I examined her, I felt an > enlarged thyroid gland, which felt unusually firm to touch on both sides of > her trachea (windpipe). Looked suspicious. ‘How long is this swelling > there?’ I asked. ‘Swelling? What swelling?’ She was obviously unaware about > it. A neck ultrasound scan confirmed an enlarged thyroid gland. The > endocrinologist did an FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy - aspirating > miniscule number of cells from the thyroid with a thin needle). The result > next day was shocking. It showed ‘anaplastic type thyroid cancer’, one of > the worst types of thyroid malignancy with a poor outcome. The luxury of > the BMW, the checks of the Burberry, the shine of the diamond and the > status of the Rolex, suddenly didn’t matter anymore. Life is much more > precious, desirable. A negative report is not a waste of money. Celebrate > it, you have good health. A diagnosis of a rogue cell or a micron sized > clot can change your life. Many problems in life comes because of our > lifestyle or actions. You drink and then drive at reckless speed, and you > may bike accident. You try to climb a hill; you might fall and fracture > your leg. You drink heavily, you can get liver cirrhosis.

A8 Pradeep Tanavade, Degree in > Automobile Engr. in Cars and Automobiles & Weight Loss, Guardian Angel > Higher Secondary School (Graduated 2004)5h BHP (Brake Horsepower) and CC > (Cubic Capacity) are two different measurements used to describe the power > and performance of engines. BHP refers to the amount of power an engine > generates at the flywheel. It is a measure of the engine's output power, > measured in horsepower, which stands for the power that is available to > drive a vehicle's wheels. BHP is usually measured using a dynamometer, > which is a machine that simulates the load placed on an engine when it is > running in a vehicle. On the other hand, CC refers to the total volume of > air and fuel mixture that an engine's cylinders can displace. It is a > measure of the engine's size or ability, expressed in cubic centimetres. > The greater the CC value of an engine, the larger its cylinder capacity, > and the more power it can potentially produce. In summary, BHP refers to > the engine's power output, while CC refers to the engine's cylinder > capacity. While there is a correlation between the two, they are not > interchangeable measurements and serve different purposes in describing an > engine's performance. Q9 What are some examples of green fruits? > A9 Weights Loss Diet, Health Director | Loving Father | Business > Director Fri Green fruits are a diverse group of fruits that come in a wide > variety of shapes, sizes, and flavours.

My note- I think we can add green plantain also to the group. > Another one is red plantain. Q10 Why are web browsers free? A10 > Digital Services and Products, Business Consultant | Digital Marketing > Services | IT Guru22h Web browsers have become an integral part of modern > life, allowing users to access and navigate the World Wide Web. Most web > browsers are available for free, and this may lead some people to wonder > why they are free. In this article, we will explore some of the reasons why > web browsers are free. 1. Competition: One of the key reasons why web > browsers are free is competition. There are many web browsers available, > and each one wants to attract as many users as possible. Offering a free > browser is a way to attract users who may not want to pay for a browser. 2. > Revenue from search engines: Another reason web browsers are free is > revenue from search engines. Most web browsers have a default search > engine, and the search engine pays the browser provider a fee for each > search conducted through the browser. This can be a significant source of > revenue for the browser provider. 3. Revenue from advertising: In addition > to revenue from search engines, web browsers can also generate revenue from > advertising. Many browsers display ads on their home page or in search > results, and the browser provider earns revenue from these ads. 4. > Branding: Offering a free web browser can also help build brand awareness > for the company that supplies the browser. By offering a free browser, the > company can increase its visibility and build a loyal user base. 5. > Platform lock-in: Another reason web browsers are free is platform lock-in. > By offering a free browser, the company can encourage users to use its > other products and services. For example, a browser provider may offer a > free email service or cloud storage service that is integrated with the > browser. 6. Open source: Some web browsers are open source, which means > that the source code is available for anyone to view and change. Because > the browser is developed by a community of developers, there is no need for > the browser provider to charge for the browser. In conclusion, there are > many reasons why web browsers are free. Competition, revenue from search > engines and advertising, branding, platform lock-in, and open source are > all factors that contribute to the availability of free web browsers. > Regardless of the reason, the availability of free web browsers has made > the internet more accessible to people around the world.
