| ARTICLES RELATED TO scientific classification | | | |  scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Murray Cod - AgeMurray Cod continue the trend of native fish of southeast Australia being incredibly long-lived. Longevity is a survival strategy in variable Australian environment to ensure that most adults participate in at least one exceptional spawning and recruitment event, which are often linked to unusually wet La Niña years and may only occur every one or two decades. Murray Cod are in fact the most long-lived native fish of all in southeast Australia. The oldest Murray Cod aged yet was 48 years of age, and the even larger specimens of yester-year leave us in no doubt the species reaches considerably ...

| | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Murray Cod - Classification and Related Species The scientific name of Murray Cod derives from an early Australian fish researcher with the surname McCulloch (=Maccullochella) and the river where Major Mitchell first recorded the species from, the Peel River (=peeli). This was later changed to M.peelii peelii to differentiate Murray Cod from Mary River Cod, which are currently designated as a sub-species of Murray Cod.
There are a number of closely related species and sub-species to Murray Cod, the taxonomy of which has been somewhat confused. Originally only o ...

Cell biology - Properties of cells.
Each cell is at least somewhat self-contained and self-maintaining: it can take in nutrients, convert these nutrients into energy, carry out specialized functions, and reproduce as necessary. Each cell stores its own set of instructions for carrying out each of these activities.
All cells share several abilities:
Reproduction by cell division.
Metabolism, including taking in raw materials, building cell components, creating energy, molecules and rel ...

Cell biology - Cell growth and metabolism.
Main articles: Cell growth, Cell metabolism
Between successive cell divisions cells grow through the functioning of cellular metabolism. Cell metabolism is the process by which individual cells process nutrient molecules. Metabolism has two distinct divisions; catabolism, in which the cell breaks down complex molecules to produce energy and reducing power, and anabolism, where the cell uses energy and reducing power to construct complex mol ...

| | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Species - Implications of assignment of species status The naming of a particular species should be regarded as a hypothesis about the evolutionary relationships and distinguishability of that group of organisms. As further information comes to hand, the hypothesis may be confirmed or refuted. Sometimes, especially in the past when communication was more difficult, taxonomists working in isolation have given two distinct names to individual organisms later identified as the same species. When two named species are discovered to be of the same species, the older species name is usually ret ...

| | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Latin - Education Although Latin was once the universal academic language in Europe, in recent years it has been supplanted by the study of many other world languages; it is a requirement in relatively few places, and in some schools is not even offered. However, in Italy, Latin is still compulsory in secondary schools as Liceo Classico and Liceo Scientifico, which are usually attended by people who aim to the highest level of education. In Liceo Classico, ancient Greek is also a compulsory subject. In France Latin is being taught on the ...

| | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Species - Definitions of species The definition of a species given above as taken from Mayr, is somewhat idealistic. Since it assumes sexual reproduction, it leaves the term undefined for a large class of organisms that reproduce asexually. Biologists frequently do not know whether two morphologically similar groups of organisms are "potentially" capable of interbreeding. Further, there is considerable variation in the degree to which hybridization may succeed under natural and experimental conditions, or even in the degree to which some organisms use sexual reproduction be ...

Genetics - Classical genetics.
Main articles: Classical genetics, Mendelian inheritance
Classical genetics consists of the techniques and methodologies of genetics that predate the advent of molecular biology. After the discovery of the genetic code and such tools of cloning as restriction enzymes, the avenues of investigation open to geneticists were greatly broadened. Some classical genetic ideas have been supplanted with the mechanistic understanding brought by molec ...

| | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Species - Importance in biological classification The idea of species has a long history. It is one of the most important levels of classification, for several reasons:
It often corresponds to what lay people treat as the different basic kinds of organism - dogs are one species, cats another.
It is the standard binomial nomenclature (or trinomial nomenclature) by which scientists typically refer to organisms.
It is the only taxonomic level which has empirical content, in the sense that asserting that two animals are of different spec ...

The origin of cells has to do with the origin of life, and was one of the most important steps in evolution of life as we know it. The birth of the cell marked the passage from prebiotic chemistry to biological life.
Cell biology - Origin of first cell.

| | | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Copy protection - Technical challenges From a technical standpoint, it would seem theoretically impossible to completely prevent users from making copies of the media they purchase, as long as a "writer" is available that can write to blank media. The basic technical fact is that all types of media require a "player"—a CD player, DVD player, videotape player, computer, or video game console, to give five examples. The player has to be able to read the media in order to display it to a human. In turn, then, logically, a player could be built that first reads the media, and then writes out an exact copy of what was read, to the same type of media, or perh ...

| | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Copy protection - Copy protection on older media Copy protection has been attempted in many ways, long before computers and digital media entered the picture. For example, the ancient practice of watermarking is an attempt to at least prove the authenticity of the original, though this does not itself prevent copying.
The music industry in particular has long sought a reliable copy protection method—early attempts included adding a high frequency spoiler signal to an analog recording so that tape recorders would generate an unpleasant whistle when the spoiler heterodyned wi ...

| | | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Copy protection - Copy protection for audio CDs By 2000, Napster had become a popular mainstream hobby, and several music publishers responded by starting to sell some CDs with various copy protection schemes. Most of these are playback restrictions that aim to make the CD unusable in computers with CD-ROM drives, leaving only dedicated audio CD players for playback. This does not, however, prevent such a CD from being copied via analogue connections, ...

| | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Copy protection - Business rationale Copy protection is most commonly found on videotapes, DVDs, computer software discs, video game discs and cartridges, and more recently, some audio CDs. Historically, most companies that publish works on these media have believed that copy protection will increase the company's revenues, by limiting the ability of the consumer to make copies of the media. In the absence of copy protection, most of these media are relatively easy to copy in their entirety using a machine (as opposed to photocopying each page of a book). This results in a situ ...

| | | | | scientific classification: Encyclopedia II - Copy protection - Note on terminology The media industries have always referred to the technology as copy protection. Opponents believe the term encourages people to identify with publishers who benefit from it, rather than the users who are restricted by it. [1] Copy prevention and Copy control are neutral terms that are sometimes used instead.
The term is also often related and/or confused to the concept of digital rights management. Digital rights management is a more general term because it includes all sort of management of works, including copy ...
