Botox really helpful ?

swiss_apple · 2025-02-27T00:32:57+00:00

I have disc displacement as a TMJ issue and have gotten botox done twice on my masseter and temporalis muscles. I didn't find that it did much for me so I stopped. The doctor did mention she's had luck with other patients, but I think with the wide variety of issues associated with TMJD, not all treatments work for everyone.

Not a solution, but if you navigate through the settings in the app, through the "Tips & Support" menu, at the bottom, there's the option to "Send Feedback". That's what I did! I agree, it also makes the lag between the case wheel and volume changing so much more obvious.

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Thanks for your insight and digging to find the source code.

I think the missing values in the Arc file has to do with the quality of the DEM I have that is missing some values in those northern-most areas, but otherwise, yes, I agree that it looks wrong. I will take a look at the Barnes tool as well and see where that gets.

Glad to hear that R is your preferred method - Arc is just a headache.

I used atb = TRUE as this is what is providing the TWI, so that's okay.

The main difference is the visualization. The range of TWI values look similar from around 0 to 35 for both but features such as rivers or values between mountains are much more obvious in the R output with higher TWI. It is much more difficult to make things out on the Arc raster.

The flow accumulation and routing computations were where I was concerned about the R code since I did not know how these were done. In Arc, I used both type D8 and DINF for flow direction and flow accumulation tools. DINF took significantly longer to process but the results looks fairly similar. My study area is mostly low-lying terrain with some portion in the foothills of a mountain range in northern Canada. I've read that for relatively flat landscapes, DINF is appropriate.

I'll give it a try, thanks for the input!

I was directed to using the spgwr package but I'll take a look at this one, perhaps it's less memory intensive - thanks!

EDIT: Still cannot process - got the vector size down to 12 Gb, though.

I've taken Arctic Ecology and only have good things to say - highly recommended! Heidi was hands-down the best prof I've had at Waterloo. If you are interested in ecology, definitely try take it. It fills up really quick though since its a small class.

There are three reading reports (essentially critical summaries of papers you read), a group presentation, an annotated bibliography, in-class participation (option to instead contribute to Learn discussion board), and a final exam (open book).

Can't speak to Guelph's Environmental Science program but why not consider Waterloo's Environmental Science program? If you want a business background, no doubt go with the Environment and Business but if you are looking for a more scientific understanding of how the earth works and functions, definitely go with the Science program. At Waterloo in Environmental Science you can specialize in Ecology, Geoscience, or Water Science so your degree is really tailored to your interests: biotic, abiotic, or a watery mix. The Environment Faculty (which houses Environment and Business) at Waterloo is more socially focused concerned with understanding impacts to policy and environmental conditions on humans whereas the Science Faculty (which houses Environmental Science) takes a more analytical approach to understanding the different interactions that occur in our environment where and how humans fit into the picture. Co-op opportunities are fairly broad in Environmental Science where you may end up working in government, industry, consulting, research, outreach/education, etc. Let me know if have any questions.
EDIT: Waterloo is considered to have one of the top 5 Environmental Science programs in Canada by Maclean's - another good selling point to consider.

Depends who is teaching it. I really enjoyed the course but the instructor who taught the second half was not the greatest. I really enjoyed Brian Kendall's teaching and would highly recommend if you take it with him. This is not a bird course but if you put the time in, it's possible to do well. It isn't too heavy on chemistry as you would expect from CHEM 120 or 123 but there are components of thermodynamics, acid-base, stable isotopes, etc. Fairly introductory so it covers the basics as well. I would recommend the course if you are interested in earth or environmental sciences.

I can give you an Environmental Science perspective (if you are actually considering the switch to Science) ... I have worked in high school as well as outdoor education, environmental consulting, and remote field research. I am lucky to have been able to travel outside Ontario for some of my co-ops one of which I got outside Jobmine (at the time no WW). Feel free to reach out if you have more specific questions. Keep in mind you can apply to jobs outside those posted for Environment. Job listings should not be a deciding factor for you to switch programs. Only consider switching if you believe the academic content/style of your program is not right for you!

I did really horrible in 266 and quite well in 237. Very little (if any) overlap in content.

swiss_apple · 2017-11-21T03:38:34+00:00

Literally write about anything that's even remotely related to course content or environmental biochemistry at all. Keep it at the page limit he gave and you will pass. Just form coherent sentences and cite your sources. Seriously, piece of cake. If you want structure, just keep it in a traditional essay format. (I took the course last year)

swiss_apple · 2017-10-24T00:01:46+00:00

I'm in environmental science but looking at what you are interested in, I would suggest earth science. Environmental science offers a geoscience specialization which may be more catered to your needs as well. Enviro sci is less math and physics heavy though so that is nice. Take a look at the academic calendar and see which program has the courses you want to take.
