It might have started with a lowered barrel and there might be a hidden girder under the barrel which raised the whole tank up as the barrel slid forward over that girder. The tank does look like it's leaning back on its suspension.
I read that this is a common misconception: the high heat is not enough to denature any proteins (else it would kill you too) and, what's more surprising, it actually makes viruses/bacteria more active. But it also makes your immune system more active, with an overall win in effectiveness over the microbes, which is what makes it useful.
Oh, ok, it seems I was the one who didn't know enough about this. I didn't realize in Korea they did all sections in one day. That's unheard of where I'm from... They're always on different days. Hard to justify, indeed.
Because some people will get harder questions than others in certain sessions, and people will not feel they got an equally difficult exam as others. And they'd be right.
For anyone else wondering, like me: "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions is a Palestinian-led movement promoting boycotts, divestments, and economic sanctions against Israel."
Are these decay rates specified for isolated atoms?
I believe they would decay faster when bombarded by particles from fellow atoms, no? So we'd have to account for the mass, shape and density of the samples to get true rates. I don't think that would change the rankings, but it might increase Simon's troubles if the radon was frozen or otherwise really compressed, for example.
