### input:

Nuisance
* Some nuisances are caused by growth
  - kill animals
* are annoyance
  - either public or common, or private nuisances
* created by numerous insects decrease tourist use and revenue.

### input | nuisance:

Public nuisance
* are nuisances.
* involve actions that injure the public at large.

Sensory input
* derives information from several sensory receptors.
* directs spatial and temporal plasticity in primary auditory cortex.
* is arguably the origin of all perception, behavior, and cognition
  - the conduction of signals from sensory receptors
  - when the body gathers information or data, by way of neurons, glia and synapses
* stimulates the formation of new circuits.
* triggers responses.

Standard input
* file from which a program can receive input.
* is the device where commands receive information.

### input:

Thorn
* All thorns can cause foreign body granulomata if a portion remains in the skin.
* Some thorns provide protection.
* are capable of pricks.
* are long and curved
  - rather stout with curved tips
  - long, stout, and clustered on the trunk and branches
* are numerous, falcate, and borne on rigid twigs
  - slender, falcate, and borne on rigid twigs
  - runes
  - short and stout
  - smaller and fewer, and leaves larger and more numerous in moister habitats
  - stem modifications and spines are leaf modifications
  - the ends of branches that are hard and sharp
  - woody protrusions on plants that often have a sharp point
* can poke and bother an animal enough to get it to move on to another plant.
* defend plants against large vertebrate browsers.
* deter herbivores from chomping on juicy fruits.
* develop as modified twigs on stems.
* embedded near bones can mimic a bone tumor.
* emerge at the joints where the leaves divide.
* have a stem-like vascular structure.
* help protect the plant from being eaten.
* originate from the axils of leaves.
* prick and cause pain.
* protect plants from the hungry herbivores.
* reach out to scratch the face and tear the clothes.
* stick into the flesh surrounding the skull.
+ Leaf, Leaf adaptations: Plant anatomy
+ Spine (botany)
  * Botanists use three different words, 'thorns', spines, and 'prickles'. Thorns are the ends of branches that are hard and sharp. Prickles are on the outside of stems. There are many different kinds of spines, some on leaves, some grow instead of leaves.

Visual input
* is coordinated with muscle signals and vestibular inflow.
* passes through the thalamus before getting to the cortex.

Inquiry
* Inquiries are investigations
  - involve tests
* Inquiries study natural phenomena

### inquiry:

Critical inquiry
* allows for freedom of belief as it separates belief from knowledge.
* involves the gathering, interpretation, and evaluation of evidence and arguments
* refers to the gathering, interpretation, and evaluation of evidence.

Experimentation
* fundamental strategy for reducing uncertainty when solving problems.
* is common to many scientific fields
  - research
* is the hallmark of scientific investigation
  - main source of our understanding of human behavior
* provides knowledge
  - physiological knowledge
* refers to work done in the field or laboratory after forming a hypothesis.

### inquiry | experimentation:

Animal experimentation
* Most animal experimentation is carried on because the human life is held to be most precious
  - provides physiological knowledge
* is often painful and has been known to cause death
  - unnecessary, unethical, morally wrong and dangerous to humans
  - used in several areas of biomedical research and product testing
* wastes time as well by leading researchers down blind alleys.

Historical inquiry
* constructs an understanding of the contemporary world.
* is the analysis of the historical record.

Inquest
* are inquiries.
* is an inquiry
