Hi Richard Great question. As with all taxonomic classifications it’s all about the physical elements of the body of the creature. With arthropods the Modification (changes or differences) specialization ( adaptations which give specific functions), the number, and look of the segments of the body and legs ( in particular ones on the head such as antennae and the type of mouthparts) are impor... more

Hello again. I meant to say that the flip side of the argument, as advancements in computing, measurement and materials science are made, our ability to isolate and design experiments to examine the physical universe expand. So technology depends on physics. Physics depends on technology. Ian

Hello Avuyile I am not wholly certain what you mean by reporting, but I suspect that you mean progress reporting. Reporting is important because it’s one of the most effective things which can give feedback on strengths and weaknesses. The major advantage to that is of course that you can work more on those areas of weakness and set realistic expectations on yourself and your current level of... more

Hi Caity I can definitely help here but am not sure what a bounce award is. If you want to chat about it feel free to message. Ian

Hey Julia Interesting topic and question. Solid samples cannot be introduced to the system directly, without specific equipment, and must first be dissolved and digested. One of the most common methods is acid digestion by heating the sample in hot acids, or a mixture of hot acids, which causes dissolution of the sample. The link below is an example of the analysis of toxic elements in trop... more

Just to check. Do you mean J is a colourless gas. Sorry not to be more helpful but feel free to message and discuss it.

Hey there Jess. So the total digestible nutrition of the feeds can be found by adding together the different percentages of the components. TDN= digestible crude protein (you could assume the digestible nitrogen here) + digestible crude fibre + the digestible nitrogen free extract + (2.25 x digestive ether extract {fats and fatty soluble bits} So here : TDN = 1.36 + 20.0 + 30.4 + (2.25 x 0.5)... more

I should also say that individual learners will each have a unique set of skills and situations. Some people are naturally more confident and outgoing, so take to presentations and oral communications more easily. Some people love reading and writing and so find essays and coursework more natural. Some people are majorly impacted by nerves and so part of a tutors job is to build confidence... more
