Ooh. What's that?

I'm a (former) university student, in Newfoundland. This blog is a pile of my interests!

Feynman Diagrams.

I don’t understand them. Dougal can do this one.

I'm gonna try my hand at this!

An electron and a positron meet and annihilate to create a photon... Then the photon becomes a quark-antiquark pair, and the antiquark gives off a gluon. ..

AAAAND it's only been just a second now, I've found the same diagram on wikipedia. At least I can see I was right!

I wonder if I could figure out all the equation-y thingies that go behind this. I think I'd need a doctorate or something...

rosyred answered your question: Doing independent research for my ecology class! ...

Roots need oxygen, too, so aeration would certainly have an effect. Is this simple aerated/non aerated or comparing methods?

Weeel, the idea is to see the difference in health between the worm-blessed experimental group of plants, and the woefully wormless control group.

I'm kind of leaning against using the word "health", and rather going for some quantitative form of evaluating the difference between experimental and control plants, like dry weight or something. 

I wouldn't say right away that aeration is the cause of the happiness in the experimental plants, but maybe I'd include it as a point in the discussion. 

I suppose in the end, the experiment's point is to see if plants in worm-filled soil turn out heavier (healthier) than their wormless counterparts. Aside from weight recordings I'll also keep tidy pictures of the plants so a visual assessment can be done by the reader, too. Maybe the experimental plants will LOOK happy, too!

Thanks for your response. It made me think out my own ideas better.

Doing independent research for my ecology class!

I have to have a proposal finished by next week to hand in, outlining my ideas. The entire project is due in mid-November.

I'm going to see how soil aeration by earthworms affects the health of the plants that grow in the aerated soil. I think the aerated soil will have the happier plants. 

How about you?

Haven't been posting at all lately.

Busy with school.

I'll make a nice informative post about Porifera after school. 

It'll be great. Just like old times, when I was tumblractive.

Water quality in my town is fucking scary.

Haloacetic acid levels in our water can be up to 4-5 times more than the "accepted limit" of 80ppb. Depending on the time of the year.

Trihalomethane levels in our water can be up to 2-3 times more than the "accepted limit" of 100ppb. Depending on the time of year.

Time to wrangle up some studies about health effects and curl up and cry.
