If not, find my post in that thread and read it.

Where r is the radius of the circle and x is the length of the rope:

(1/2)(pi)r^2=((pi)r^2)-((pi)(r-x)^2)

First half of the above represents the whole circle's area divided by two.
Second half is the whole circle's area minus the area that can't be reached because of the rope (a circle of radius r-x).

x=r(1+(1/sqrt(2))

yes?

Video is wrong.
Some cancers can easily be traced to a series of specific mutations, a subset of which are heritable. Stopped watching after only a couple of minutes due to stating things that are NOT facts as facts.

Further reading for OP:

Above shows cancer is only minimally heritable: TRUE

Above shows the genetic basis of cancer.

private static String coordConvert(String latLong)
{
StringBuffer build =new StringBuffer();

if (latLong.toLowerCase().contains("s") || latLong.toLowerCase().contains("w"))
{
build.append("-");
}

latLong=latLong.substring(1);

int degrees = Integer.parseInt(latLong.split(" ")[0]);
double minutes = Double.parseDouble(latLong.split(" ")[1]);
double dec = degrees + (minutes/60);

build.append(Double.toString(dec));

return build.toString();
}

No more manually converting latitude and longitude for me! (This is actually taken from a program I wrote to help me, /sci/'s resident ecology major, convert .csv GPS stuff into .KML files. Proof that programming is useful everywhere).

Because even I hate some of the other bio majors. The human bio majors can't math to save their lives (and they're you're future doctors). At least in population ecology we do a fair amount of math in the models that we use. We also deal with many species where the human bio guys know exactly ONE SPECIES.

I've never used notecards in my entire academic career. They're a waste of time that encourage memorize things one piece at a time instead of connecting it with things you already know.

...So I guess I'm saying that they're are irreconcilable divides within biology that keeps us from ranking it as a single group.

Also, I'm cool with both of the other areas. I have no need to prove which is 'best' or 'hardest'. You also don't know how many times I've facepalmed trying to explain how harmonics affect birdsong to biology majors who weren't paying attention in physics.

Again, still a tier thread.

>treating red and black foxes like they aren't the same thing
Is there any legitimacy to this? I thought those were just coat variations (cinnamon, silver, black, marble, etc.).

Talk about Penaeid Shrimp myelin. Everyone loves fast axons.

Finally, how do I become the mammalogy version of you? Recommendations for grad school are very welcome.
