These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-12-06,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Misplaced Modifiers
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 4 - Science
Science: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-4/scie.jpg
* H is Not Just for Hospital
In-patient treatment shouldn't be required for the following
H-word conditions. Give a concise definition of each one.
1. Hyperkalemia ["high-per-ka-LEE-mee-a"].
2. Hexadactyly ["hex-a-DAK-til-ee"].
3. Hyponatremia ["high-po-na-TREE-mee-a"].
* Namesake Principles
Each image humorously depicts a physical law, principle, theory,
effect, etc., that bears the name of a scientist. In each case,
name the *scientist*.
4. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-4/laws/4.jpg
5. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-4/laws/5.jpg
6. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-4/laws/6.jpg
* Drugs We've Used
These questions are about medications that are no longer in
common use. In each case, name them.
7. This synthetic antimicrobial agent started to be used widely
in the 1930s. First developed in the laboratories of Bayer as
Prontosil, it appeared in med-kits issued to soldiers in World
War II, who were instructed to sprinkle it on any open wounds.
Give its generic name.
8. Used in Europe since at least the 17th century. Its efficacy
as a relief from shivering due to cold temperatures led to it
being used to cure a malaria outbreak in Rome in 1631. It was
the most common anti-malarial drug into the 1940s.
9. An antiseptic developed at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1918,
it was widely used until the 1980s when the USDA labeled it
potentially poisonous. It stains the skin a distinctive carmine
red when applied.
* Dating
10. Dendrochronology dates certain objects by counting what?
11. For assessing age at death, cementochronology counts the layers
in the cementum. On a skeleton, where will you find the
cementum?
12. Paleopalynology can contribute to the dating of artifacts by
collecting associated soil samples and examining the nature
and quantity of what?
* Exercise
13. During anaerobic exercise, the body produces a substance which
can be converted to energy without the use of oxygen. However,
this substance builds up faster than it can be burned off,
leading to muscle fatigue. What is this substance?
14. There are two types of fibers in the skeletal muscles. Which
type comes into operation during high-intensity, anaerobic
activity?
15. In one common isometric exercise, the body is raised on the
elbows and toes, then held rigid. By what name is this
exercise known?
