What is the difference between Venom and Poison?

Venom and Poison are both toxic substances. Still, some animals are called venomous and others are poisonous. The only difference between being called poisonous or venomous is in the way these animals deliver the harmful substance.

Venom: When animals like snakes use their sharp fangs to bite into the flesh and let the toxic substance move into the body of their prey, through the punctured skin, they are called venomous animals. To deliver venom an animal has to use tools like fangs or stingers.

Poison: Poison is something that can get inhaled, ingested or seeped into the skin directly. For example, if you accidentally touch a brightly colored poison dart frog, you will transfer the toxins it secretes from its skin, to your own skin. And then the poison will seep into your blood stream.

Why is there a groove line on the "F" and "J" keys on keyboards?

The bumps or nipples found on the F and J keys on the keyboard helps users correctly position their left and right hand on the keyboard without having to look at the keyboard. For example, without looking at your keyboard you should be able to feel the keyboard and correctly position your left index finger on the F and the right index finger on the J. From this position, you should be able to locate the remainder of the keys on the keyboard. A phone having a hardware numeric keypad has something similar. The digit 5 also has a bump. It is also used for the same purpose. One can easily and quickly enter the digits without having a look at the keypad.

What is TrichoScan?

Quantitative methods for the analysis of human hair growth and hair loss are necessary for patient follow-ups or to determine the efficacy of hair growth promoting drugs. While reviewing the capabilities of the different methods, the common theme emerges that most techniques are of little practical use to the clinician because they are time consuming, costly, or difficult to perform. An operator- and patient-friendly, inexpensive, validated, and reliable method for assessing hair growth was therefore a rational need. With TrichoScan, such a tool is now available. TrichoScan is a software-based method for the analysis of human hair. For this purpose, digital images are taken from the scalp with a specially developed camera-optics system. TrichoScan software is then used to automatically calculate important parameters of hair growth, such as hair density or thickness from the images.
