Reference excerpt

Henri Heim de Balsac (1 January 1899 – 28 November 1979) was a French zoologist. In 1937 Henri Heim de Balsac was awarded the Prix Savigny de l'Académie des sciences. In the following year, 1938, he was awarded the Prix Gadeau de Kerville de la Société zoologique de France and he became a Council Member of the Société zoologique de France in February, 1938. He became a Corresponding Member of the Hungarian Institute for Ornithology and he was also responsible for the foundation of l’Institut chérifien de recherche scientifique (Maroc)fr:Institut scientifique de Rabat. Henri Heim de Balsac worked on ethology (l’écoéthologie des Campagnols des champs), biological indicators, hydrobiology and the Chiroptera of France. He was, from 1929, on the editorial committee of Alauda, Revue internationale d’ornithologie (on French Wikipedia) with its founder Paul Paris and Louis Lavauden, Noël Mayaud, Jacques de Chavigny, Henri Jouard, Jacques Delamain and Paul Poty.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Henri Heim de Balsac

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Henri Heim de Balsac claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Henri Heim de Balsac before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Henri Heim de Balsac ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Henri Heim de Balsac

In research: Henri Heim de Balsac appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Henri Heim de Balsac in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Henri Heim de Balsac is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1899 births, 1979 deaths, 20th-century French zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Henri Heim de Balsac outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
