Darting (the views)
http://papio.biology.duke.edu/babase_system_html/ch06s04.html
Btemp_mean BODYTEMPS.Btemp (computed) "The arithmetic mean of the body
temperature measurements related to the given Dartid -- the mean of the body
temperature measurements taken during the the darting." - There's an extra
"the" at the end.
"crown to rump measurements" should be "crown-to-rump measurements"
DENT_CODES and again in DENT_SITES
"This shows all the tooth related information collecting during the given
darting as one row" Should be
"This shows all the tooth-related information collected during the given
darting as one row"
Wow - I'm glad I didn't have to write those queries!
HUMERUS_STATS
Huunadjusted_mean HUMERUSES.Huunadjusted (computed) "The arithmetic mean of
the unadjusted crown to rump measurements related to the given Dartid -- the
mean of the unadjusted humerus length measurements taken during the
darting." Oopsie, crow-to-rump measurements in the humerus section (just
this once).
PCV_STATS
"the mean of the PCV measurements taken during the the darting." Here's
that extra "the" again. I always want to say this PVC... :-/
TESTES_STATS
The descriptions for Testrlengsamps and Testrwidthsamps both say they have a
Testside value of L but these two should have a value of R.
Can't we give these all the same note instead of repeating it four times?
We could call them all [a].
[a] NULL values do not count toward the number of measurements.
[b] NULL values do not count toward the number of measurements.
[c] NULL values do not count toward the number of measurements.
[d] NULL values do not count toward the number of measurements.
[181] Note that when was no additional anesthetic administered there are no
related ANESTHS rows and hence no row in this view for the given darting.
The "was" is in the wrong place (or "there" is missing) but all the other
notes here are in the present tense so it should be "is" anyway.
[184] Note that when no crown to rump measurements "crown-to-rump"
That which (Note, all whiches coming after pronouns ought to be fine - I
stopped before the end so these are just some!)
A "which" that should be "that" (in a section title so it probably
repeats...):
MPI_EVENTS (Dyadic social interactions which comprise multi-party
interaction collections, MPIS joined with MPI_DATA extended twice with
MPI_PARTS)

Of particular importance is the sentence which describes what a row in the
given table represents.
More advanced usage of the website will likely require a web browser which
conforms to the international standards for the web defined by the World
Wide Web Consortium , otherwise known as the W3C ,as we have put forth no
particular effort to accommodate non-standards conforming browsers.
Other browsers which do have such support include Mozilla , Mozilla Firefox
,Apple's Safari ,and Opera. The W3.org site maintains a list of browsers
supporting style sheets.
You must access most of the Babase web site using a secure communications
protocol ( HTTPS ) which encrypts all communication to foil eavesdroppers
and checks the identity of the web site itself.
Babase users are encouraged to ask questions, both on the Babase mailing
list and on the mailing lists setup for questions on the software which
Babase is made of.
Significantly, these features are those which allow Babase to leverage
generic programs,
There are 2 Unix shell programs which provide peripheral utility;
It is a place to try out dangerous things which might break the babase
database.
Tables which have names ending in "_DATA" ........ breaking queries and
programs which use the table.
version of data structure produced by the palmtops which collect data
column which contains a number unique to that row within its table.
This which is correct but shouldn't this be facilitates? (And commas before
such whiches are generally good.)
The difference between this schema and the sandbox schema is that the
development tools support the creation and modification of the tables in the
devel schema which facilities the movement of tables from the devel schema
into the babase schema.
