This penguin survives on 4-second microsleeps — thousands of times a day: Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarcticus) nod off ( = doze off) more than 10,000 times a day for an average of 4 seconds at a time, researchers have found. The power naps of the chinstrap penguin are even briefer and more frequent when it is tending eggs. The short snoozes, which add up to more than 11 hours of daily sleep, seem to be enough to fulfil at least some of the restorative functions 恢复机能 of sleep, according to a study published today in Science. The authors studied 14 penguins nesting in a colony on King George Island, Antarctica. Over 10 days of observation, the birds never engaged in prolonged sleep. The longest nap registered was 34 seconds. "This is what was the most striking and interesting — the fact that they can deal with sleeping in a fragmented way continuously, day and night," says co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel, a sleep ecophysiologist at the Neuroscience Research Center of Lyon in Bron, France. Penguins engaged in more than 600 short bouts of slow-wave sleep per hour. These bouts became even shorter and more frequent when the birds were caring for eggs, perhaps because they need to be more alert while incubating, the researchers say. Biologist Madeleine Scriba, based in Ettenhausen, Switzerland, says it was already known that birds sleep in shorter bursts than mammals. But she expected that at least some amount of continuous sleep would be necessary for physical and mental recovery. "That these penguins are doing very well with such short sleep bouts is really amazing," she says. A marine biologist based in London, notes that even frequent naps don't sound very restful if an average microsleep lasts around 4 seconds. "How would this then build up? And would they find a difference for non-breeding birds?" she asks. The authors suggest that if microsleep can indeed be restorative [rɪˈstɒrətɪv] 恢复力的, perhaps other creatures also rely on it to obtain rest in situations where they need to remain vigilant. 6. Limescale (or Calcium Scale 水垢) is a hard, off-white chalky substance often found on the metallic parts of water-operated machinery. It is particularly common in machinery and equipment that involves heating elements (such as boilers) or heat transfer elements (such as heat exchangers). Limescale is a hard, chalky deposit, consisting mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It often builds up inside kettles, boilers, and pipework, especially that for hot water. It is also often found as a similar deposit on the inner surfaces of old pipes and other surfaces where hard water has flowed. Limescale also forms as travertine or tufa in hard water springs. The colour varies from off-white through a range of greys and pink or reddish browns, depending on the other minerals present. Iron compounds give the reddish-browns. In addition to being unsightly 碍眼的, 不好看的, 扎眼的 and hard to clean, limescale can seriously damage or impair the operation of various plumbing and heating components. Descaling agents 除污机, 去污剂, 除垢剂 are commonly used to remove limescale. Prevention of fouling by scale build-up relies on the technologies of water softening or other water treatment. Scale deposits 水垢堆积 are a typical indicator of hard water. Hard water (or water hardness 水的硬度) is a common quality of water which contains dissolved compounds of calcium and magnesium and, sometimes, other divalent and trivalent metallic elements. The term hardness was originally applied to waters that were hard to wash in, referring to the soap wasting properties of hard water. Hardness prevents soap from lathering by causing the development of an insoluble curdy precipitate in the water; hardness typically causes the buildup of hardness scale (such as seen in cooking pans). Dissolved calcium and magnesium salts are primarily responsible for most scaling in pipes and water heaters and cause numerous problems in laundry, kitchen, and bath. Hardness is usually expressed in grains per gallon (or ppm) as calcium carbonate equivalent. Scale deposits from hardness buildup affects fixtures and appliances found throughout the entire home or business. For this reason, hardness is typically addressed with treatment of water for the whole house or building rather than just at a specific faucet. For a hassle-free and cheap way to descale a kettle, fill it with a mixture of half white vinegar and half water, and leave to soak overnight. (Make sure the kettle is unplugged and there's a note on it so nobody uses it accidentally!) In the morning, the limescale will come off easily. 7.

Anorexia [ˌanəˈrɛksɪə] nervosa 神经性厌食症 (AN), often referred to simply as anorexia, is an eating disorder characterized by low weight, food restriction, body image disturbance, fear of gaining weight, and an overpowering desire to be thin. Individuals with anorexia nervosa have a fear of being overweight or being seen as such, despite the fact that they are typically underweight. The DSM-5 describes this perceptual symptom as "disturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced". Individuals with anorexia nervosa also often deny that they have a problem with low weight. They may weigh themselves frequently, eat small amounts, and only eat certain foods. Some exercise excessively, force themselves to vomit (in the "anorexia purging" subtype), or use laxatives to lose weight and control body shapes, and/or binge eat. bulimia [buː'lɪmiə] 神经性暴食症 Bulimia or bulimia nervosa is an illness in which a person has a very great fear of becoming fat, and so they make themselves vomit after eating. an eating disorder characterized by regular, often secretive bouts of overeating followed by self-induced vomiting or purging, strict dieting, or extreme exercise, associated with persistent and excessive concern with body weight. Bulimia nervosa, also known as simply bulimia, is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging or fasting, and excessive concern with body shape and weight. This activity aims to expel the body of calories eaten from the binging phase of the process. Binge eating refers to eating a large amount of food in a short amount of time. Purging refers to the attempts to get rid of the food consumed. This may be done by vomiting or taking laxatives. Both anorexia nervosa and bulimia are characterized by an overvalued drive for thinness and a disturbance in eating behavior. The main difference between diagnoses is that anorexia nervosa is a syndrome of self-starvation involving significant weight loss of 15 percent or more of ideal body weight, whereas patients with bulimia nervosa are, by definition, at normal weight or above. Bulimia is characterized by a cycle of dieting, binge-eating and compensatory purging behavior to prevent weight gain. Purging behavior includes vomiting, diuretic or laxative abuse. When underweight individuals with anorexia nervosa also engage in bingeing and purging behavior the diagnosis of anorexia nervosa supercedes that of binge/purging type. Excessive exercise aimed at weight loss or at preventing weight gain is common in both anorexia nervosa and in bulimia.
bowl 碗 VS bowls VS bowling: Bowls, also known as lawn bowls or lawn bowling 草地滚球, is a sport in which the objective is to roll biased ( Essentially, lawn bowls bias 偏沉的, 一边重的 means that the shape of the bowl is not perfectly round. Therefore, when a player rolls the bowl, it moves in a curved path. The bowls bias will determine how far outward the player needs to roll their bowl for it to curve correctly and reach the target. Bowls are designed to travel a curved path because of a weight bias which was originally produced by inserting weights in one side of the bowl.

root beer VS Sarsaparilla [ˌsɑːs(ə)pəˈrɪlə] 沙示汽水: At its simplest, Bundaberg Sarsaparilla and Bundaberg Root Beer do not have any key differences – bar the label. Our Brewniverse stretches far and wide ( far and wide If people come from far and wide, they come from a large number of places, some of them far away. If things spread far and wide, they spread over a very large area or distance. Volunteers came from far and wide. His fame spread far and wide. ) in 2022, and with this means that you may see your brews slightly different to some others. Those in the United Kingdom and United States will be Root Beer, whereas our friends in Australia and New Zealand will see Sarsaparilla. But let us clarify, even though these brews do not share a name, they are the exact same drink! Both crafted over three days using real liquorice root ( Overview. Licorice [ˈlɪkərɪʃ] (UK: liquorice) is an herb that grows in parts of Europe and Asia. Licorice root contains glycyrrhizin, which can cause side effects when eaten in large amounts. The chemicals in licorice are thought to decrease swelling, decrease cough, and increase the chemicals in our body that heal ulcers.), sarsaparilla root, molasses 糖蜜, 糖浆 ( [mə(ʊ)ˈlasɪz] Molasses is a thick, dark brown syrup which is produced when sugar is processed.

Despite Root Beer and Sarsaparilla being alternative names for the same Bundaberg brew, traditionally these are two different drinks with very different histories – so we wanted to take a little dive into this( take a dive pretend to be knocked down or out.

Sarsaparilla, traditionally, was made from Sarsaparilla Root alone. This extract holds a slightly bitter flavour profile, which is why many producers now pair this with ingredients like liquorice – attempting to reduce the boldness. On the other side of things, Root Beer is a drink that's been heavily engrained in American Culture which dates back to the 19th century. Many over time have dubbed Root Beer as the 'adulterated sarsaparilla' ( adulterate 掺杂, 掺水, 掺假 If something such as food or drink is adulterated, someone has made its quality worse by adding water or cheaper products to it. to make food or drink weaker or to lower its quality, by adding something else: There were complaints that the beer had been adulterated with water. Saffron is very expensive, and is often adulterated with other plants. The food had been adulterated to increase its weight. There is a regulation against adulterated cosmetics. ...the adulteration of tobacco. ) due to the mix of flavour enhancing ingredients; vanilla, wintergreen, nutmeg, anise, among others. Root beer is a sweet North American soft drink traditionally made using the root bark of the sassafras tree Sassafras albidum or the vine of Smilax ornata (known as sarsaparilla, also used to make a soft drink, sarsaparilla) as the primary flavor. Root beer is typically, but not exclusively, non-alcoholic, caffeine-free, sweet, and carbonated. Like cola, it usually has a thick and foamy head( Beer head 啤酒泡沫 (also head or collar) is the frothy foam on top of beer and carbonated beverages which is produced by bubbles of gas, predominantly carbon dioxide, rising to the surface. The elements that produce the head are wort protein, yeast and hop residue. The carbon dioxide that forms the bubbles in the head is produced during fermentation as yeasts break down sugar-rich molecules to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. The carbonation can occur before or after bottling the beer. If the beer continues fermenting in the bottle, then it naturally carbonates and the head is formed upon opening and/or pouring the beer. If the beer is pasteurized or filtered then the beer must be force carbonated using pressurized gas. ). A common use is to add vanilla ice cream to make a root beer float. Since safrole, a key component of sassafras, was banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1960 due to its carcinogenicity, most commercial root beers have been flavored using artificial sassafras flavoring, but a few (e.g. Hansen's) use a safrole-free sassafras extract. Sarsaparilla (UK: /ˌsɑːrspəˈrɪlə/, US also /ˌsæspəˈrɪlə/ sas-pə-RIL-ə) is a soft drink originally made from the vine Smilax ornata (also called 'sarsaparilla') or other species of Smilax such as Smilax officinalis. In most Southeast Asian countries, it is known by the common name sarsi, and the trademarks Sarsi and Sarsae. It is similar in flavour to root beer. In the US, sarsaparilla is traditionally made with birch oil rather than the tropical plant.
