  2. International scale of river difficulty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_scale_of...

    Injuries while swimming are rare; self-rescue is usually easy but group assistance may be required to avoid long swims. Rapids that are at the lower or upper end of this difficulty range are designated Class III- or Class III+ respectively. Class IV: Advanced Intense, powerful but predictable rapids requiring precise boat handling in turbulent ...

  3. Rapids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapids

    This impacts the river's flow or discharge, which is measured as a volume of water per unit of time. The faster the water flows, the more likely a rapid will form. [3] Rapids mostly form due to differential erosion in the sloping strata forming the streambed, the softer rocks erode away whereas the harder rock persist leading to an uneven ...

  4. Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergey's_Manual_of...

    Bergey's Manual Trust was established in 1936 to sustain the publication of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology and supplementary reference works. The Trust also recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to bacterial taxonomy by presentation of the Bergey Award and Bergey Medal, jointly supported by funds from the Trust and from Springer, the publishers of the ...

  5. Bacterial taxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_taxonomy

    Bacteria were first classified as plants constituting the class Schizomycetes, which along with the Schizophyceae (blue green algae/Cyanobacteria) formed the phylum Schizophyta. [ 11 ] Haeckel in 1866 placed the group in the phylum Moneres (from μονήρης: simple) in the kingdom Protista and defines them as completely structureless and ...

  6. Taxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy

    Nodes below this root are more specific classifications that apply to subsets of the total set of classified objects. The progress of reasoning proceeds from the general to the more specific. By contrast, in the context of legal terminology, an open-ended contextual taxonomy is employed—a taxonomy holding only with respect to a specific context.

  7. Domain (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_(biology)

    Carl Linnaeus made the classification "domain" popular in the famous taxonomy system he created in the middle of the eighteenth century. This system was further improved by the studies of Charles Darwin later on but could not classify bacteria easily, as they have very few observable features to compare to the other domains.

  8. Biosafety cabinet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_cabinet

    The filters have a limited lifespan, determined by the air quality within the laboratory space, the amount of particles & aerosols generated inside the BSC work zone, and the volume of air passing through the filters. As these filters load, the internal fan is required to do more work to push/pull the same volume of air through them.

  9. Aristotle's biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle's_biology

    Aristotle's biology is the theory of biology, grounded in systematic observation and collection of data, mainly zoological, embodied in Aristotle's books on the science. Many of his observations were made during his stay on the island of Lesbos , including especially his descriptions of the marine biology of the Pyrrha lagoon, now the Gulf of ...
