Examples of discovered in the following topics:

  • Newly Discovered Eukaryotes

    • There are many new species to be discovered, including eukaryotic species.
    • However, as suggested above most of the attention is given to large species, which represent a very small portion of the new species identified Even with this in mind, since the beginning of this century, 5 marsupial species, 25 primate, 1 elephant, 1 sloth, 3 rabbit, several rodent species, at least 30 new bat species have been discovered.
    • Considering how large an elephant is, this should point out how little we know about the numbers of microscopic eukaryotes that are yet to be discovered.
    • This graph shows how many species discovered (dark green) versus estimated species remaining to be discovered.
  • Hyperthermophilic Archaea, H2, and Microbial Evolution

    • Hyperthermophiles were first discovered by Thomas D.
    • Since then, more than 70 species have been discovered.
    • The most hardy hyperthermophiles yet discovered live on the superheated walls of deep-sea hydrothermal vents, requiring temperatures of at least 90°C for survival.
    • One extraordinary heat-tolerant hyperthermophile is the recently discovered Strain 121, an archaeon living at 121°C in the Pacific Ocean.
    • Although no hyperthermophile has yet been discovered living at temperatures above 122°C, their existence is very possible.
  • Roaming Around the Known

    • She will not specifically introduce any new learning, but will instead carefully record anything new the child discovers during this time period.

  • Art in Western Europe

    • Discovered in 1940, the cave contains nearly 2,000 figures, which are often grouped into the three main categories of animals, human figures, and abstract markings .
    • As elsewhere, many Venus figurines have been discovered throughout western Europe that date from the Paleolithic period.
    • Hundreds of these Venus figurines have been discovered to date.
    • Numerous engravings in bone and ivory from the Upper Paleolithic have been discovered in western Europe.
    • Discovered in 1940, the Lascaux Caves contain nearly 2,000 figures, which are often grouped into the three main categories of animals, human figures, and abstract markings.
  • Origins of Antimicrobial Drugs

    • The era of antimicrobials begins when Pasteur and Joubert discover that one type of bacteria could prevent the growth of another.
    • The history of antimicrobials begins with the observations of Pasteur and Koch, who discovered that one type of bacteria could prevent the growth of another.
  • Early Discoveries in Nitrogen Fixation

    • Hermann Hellriegel (1831-1895), a noted German agricultural chemist, discovered that leguminous plants took atmospheric nitrogen and replenished the ammonium in the soil through the process now known as nitrogen fixation.
    • Martinus Willem Beijerinck (March 16, 1851 – January 1, 1931), a Dutch microbiologist and botanist, explored the mechanism responsible, discovering that the root nodules contained microbes.
    • In addition to having discovered this biochemical reaction vital to soil fertility and agriculture, Beijerinck is responsible for the discovery of this classic example of symbiosis between plants and bacteria.
  • DNA Oncogenic Viruses

    • The first DNA tumor viruses to be discovered were rabbit fibroma virus and Shope papilloma virus, both discovered by Richard Shope in the 1930s.
    • They were discovered by making a filtered extract of a tumor from a wild rabbit and injecting the filtrate into another rabbit in which a benign papilloma grew.
  • Nitrospirae and Deferribacter

    • The first member of this phylum, Nitrospira marina, was discovered in 1986 by Watson et al., isolated from the Gulf of Maine.
    • The second member of this phylum, Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii, was discovered in 1994.
    • The third, Nitrospira moscoviensis, was discovered in 1995 from a corroded iron pipe in a Moscow heating system.

    • Jōmon pottery is said by many scholars to be the oldest yet discovered in the world.
  • History of the Normal Distribution

    • Name the person who discovered the normal distribution and state the problem he applied it to
    • This is exactly what he did, and the curve he discovered is now called the "normal curve. "
    • This led to several hypothesized distributions of errors, but it was not until the early 19th century that it was discovered that these errors followed a normal distribution.
    • This same distribution had been discovered by Laplace in 1778 when he derived the extremely important central limit theorem, the topic of a later section of this chapter.
