sacrevert: October 2014
http://sacrevert.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Being thoughts and incidents of a (mostly) botanical nature. Friday, 3 October 2014. England's new Red List of Vascular Plants. It seems to be an incredibly productive season for botanical publishing. A new bryophyte atlas. On the way; fliers for a reprint of the BSBI handbook Docks and Knotweeds. And for books on Yorkshire's Hawkweeds. But one of the most exciting publications has been that of the new Vascular Plant Red List for England. Shows that 5th of wildflower species now threatened @BSBIbotany.

Being thoughts and incidents of a (mostly) botanical nature. Tuesday, 12 February 2013. Creating masked vice-county rasters in Quantum GIS. I was inspired by Teresa Frost. There are no doubt easier ways of achieving what follows, but this is what worked for me. Firstly, I retrieved the Land-Form PANORAMA. Data from the Ordnance Survey's new(ish) OpenData. Website, and the Watsonian vice-county boundaries from the NBN. Was handy for that. 2) Visualising the DTM data is also a minor challenge, and can be o...

Mudanças Climáticas: De quem é a culpa? | Laboratório de Limnologia/UFRJ
https://limnonews.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/mudancas-climaticas-de-quem-e-a-culpa
Publicado por: Aliny Pires. 20 de junho de 2013. Mudanças Climáticas: De quem é a culpa? Quantas vezes não atribuímos à vontade de divindades as mudanças bruscas no tempo, sejam elas relacionadas à seca ou à chuva. O mistério em torno dos fatores que regulam a chuva esteve presente em toda a história da humanidade e, com frequência, atribuída ao mau humor dos deuses. A fé, portanto, tratava de explicar. Hoje, a ciência, assim como a fé, atribui ao homem às mudanças observadas no clima do planeta. Princip...

But let it be remembered, that the principles of a science are to be taught as truly with. Reference to the commonest forms as to the rarest. And have we not the fields and the rivers?

philosomama: Baby and me, and Bifidobacterium makes three
http://philosomama.blogspot.com/2014/08/baby-and-me-and-bifidobacterium-makes.html
Philosopher. Mama. Not necessarily in that order. Thursday, 21 August 2014. Baby and me, and Bifidobacterium makes three. It has long been contended that breastfeeding boosts an newborn's immune system. But I've never quite understood how this is supposed to work. Antibodies are made of protein, so wouldn't any antibodies in the milk just get digested before they were any use to the baby? Trisha Gura at science mag. Providing a food supply for baby's 'good' bacteria, it turns out. That helps her look aft...
