Calculus

Calculus

a calcium salt concretion which forms on your teeth. Calculus deposits form on the teeth in areas which you do not floss or brush. If these concretions are left to build up on the tooth enamel, they will irritate the gum tissue, push it away from the tooth and promote progressive bone loss. Eventually the teeth can loosen and fall out. These deposits can be removed by a dentist or a dental hygienist on an annual to biannual basis.

(renal) a solid concretion or stone which forms within the urinary tract (kidney).

Re: Bird-Dinosaur News

... on, it means I do not follow Darwin's doctrine--I do not follow his assumptions. But I assume--just as Issac Newton assumed, whom we can thank for calculus, that God is real and designed all things--and he put the ability to adapt for their survival. just like someone who builds skyscrapers designs ...

Re: A Calculus-Based Viewpoint for Negative Feedback

dear past self, interesting thoughts .. the rate of change being an important determinant fits a mathematical model that, unfortunately, does not reveal what is going on ..
