Reference excerpt

The Hermann von Nathusius Medal was endowed in 1928 by the German Society for Animal Breeding (DGfZ) in memory of Hermann Engelhard von Nathusius, an important German breeder. It is awarded, usually annually, to those who have excelled in the area of animal breeding, or in the production branch. [1] The DGFZ was founded in 1905 as a non-profit association which, according to its statutes, should serve society by promoting close cooperation between animal breeding and veterinary medicine, to bring benefit in the areas of animal breeding, animal husbandry, animal feedstuffs, reproduction and health of livestock.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hermann von Nathusius Medal

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hermann von Nathusius Medal claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, 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 Hermann von Nathusius Medal 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 Hermann von Nathusius Medal 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 Hermann von Nathusius Medal

In research: Hermann von Nathusius Medal appears in science 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 Hermann von Nathusius Medal 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: Hermann von Nathusius Medal is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1928 establishments in Germany, Agriculture in Germany, Awards established in 1928, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hermann von Nathusius Medal 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.
