Summary
The 10th International Veterinary Congress in London was planned for August 1914 but never occurred. Unused badges discovered in archives reveal how World War I disrupted the event despite extensive preparations.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary History
- International Congresses
Background:
- The 10th International Veterinary Congress was scheduled for London in August 1914.
- Extensive planning and fundraising efforts were undertaken for the event.
Observation:
- Pristine, unused badges for the congress were discovered in the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) archives.
- The discovery prompted an investigation into the congress's history.
Findings:
- Official transcripts and news reports indicate the congress was overtaken by unforeseen events.
- The primary cause for the cancellation was the outbreak of World War I.
Implications:
- This historical event highlights the vulnerability of international scientific gatherings to global crises.
- It underscores the impact of geopolitical events on scientific collaboration and progress.

In operant conditioning, the timing of reinforcement is crucial. For animals like rats and cats, immediate reinforcement (within a few seconds) is much more effective than delayed reinforcement. For example, a food reward for a rat needs to follow within 30 seconds of pressing a bar to be effective.
Humans, however, can respond to delayed reinforcers. We often make decisions between immediate small rewards and delayed larger rewards. This ability to delay gratification is a significant...

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

20.5K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

01:28Major Losses in Pipes
2.1K
When a fluid flows through a pipe, it experiences energy losses due to frictional resistance along the pipe walls, known as major losses. These energy losses result in a pressure drop, which varies based on the flow conditions — whether laminar or turbulent — and the specific physical properties of the fluid and pipe.
Fluid flow can be classified as laminar or turbulent, primarily based on the Reynolds number. This dimensionless number reflects the relative influence of inertial to...

01:25Minor Losses in Pipes
2.2K
In pipe systems, minor losses refer to energy losses arising from components such as valves, bends, fittings, expansions, and other features that disrupt the steady flow of fluid. These disturbances cause energy dissipation through turbulence and resistance, which engineers quantify to manage system efficiency effectively.
Valves play a significant role in generating minor losses by obstructing or redirecting the fluid flow. When a valve is closed or partially closed, it restricts the flow...

01:14Fundamental Attribution Error
12.8K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...
