Ioan Ciurea

Ioan Ciurea is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Ioan Ciurea rather than just read about it. In short: Ioan Ciurea (April 26 [O.S. April 13] 1878–March 20, 1944) was a Romanian veterinarian and parasitologist.

Key takeaways

Ioan Ciurea belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Ioan Ciurea to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Ioan Ciurea from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Ioan Ciurea (April 26 [O.S. April 13] 1878–March 20, 1944) was a Romanian veterinarian and parasitologist. Born in Fălticeni, he graduated from Bucharest’s Higher School of Veterinary Medicine in 1902. He worked as a veterinarian for Căile Ferate Române in Craiova, then at the Piatra Neamț slaughterhouse from 1905. During this period, he discovered the cysticercus of Taenia saginata in veal. From 1910 to 1912, he pursued specialized studies at Berlin and Königsberg Universities. In 1919, he established the department of parasitology and food inspection at the veterinary medicine faculty of the University of Bucharest, becoming a full professor there in 1922. In June 1927, he was elected a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy. In 1929, he became a titular member of the Romanian Medical Academy, and in 1939 joined the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. He entered the Helminthological Society of Washington in 1922. Ciurea noted the presence of Trichinella spiralis in cats and of Physocephalus sexalatus in pigs, and found a new pig Echinostoma species. He described the lifecycle of a series of Trematoda and a number of new species from this class. He published studies in the Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. He helped systematize parasite nomenclature internationally. He founded an ichthyology museum, collaborating with Grigore Antipa for nearly three decades. He died in Bucharest. A primary school in Fălticeni bears his name.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ioan Ciurea

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ioan Ciurea claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, 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 Ioan Ciurea 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 Ioan Ciurea 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 Ioan Ciurea

In research: Ioan Ciurea appears in astronomy 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 Ioan Ciurea 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: Ioan Ciurea is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1878 births, 1944 deaths, Academic staff of the University of Bucharest, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ioan Ciurea 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.
