Nagahisa Kuroda

Nagahisa Kuroda is a biology 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 Nagahisa Kuroda rather than just read about it. In short: Nagahisa Kuroda (黒田 長久 Kuroda Nagahisa, 23 November 1916 – 26 February 2009) was a Japanese ornithologist. He wrote several books on the birds of Japan and worked on Japanese encephalitis, the systematics of shearwaters, ducks and on avian anatomy.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Nagahisa Kuroda (黒田 長久 Kuroda Nagahisa, 23 November 1916 – 26 February 2009) was a Japanese ornithologist. He wrote several books on the birds of Japan and worked on Japanese encephalitis, the systematics of shearwaters, ducks and on avian anatomy. Kuroda was the son of Japanese ornithologist Nagamichi Kuroda. He studied at Gakushuin High School and Tokyo University before receiving his doctorate from Hokkaido University where he worked on the systematics of shearwaters under Toru Uchida. He worked briefly with the US Army 406th Medical General Laboratory, collaborating with Dr. Oliver L. Austin. He then moved to the Yamashina Institute of Ornithology where he worked for the rest of his life. He took a special interest in the seabirds. He was an able artist and a violoncello player. He also wrote on avian anatomy, including notes on the pectoral, and cervical muscles. A fossil species of shearwater Calonectris kurodai was named in his honour.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nagahisa Kuroda

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nagahisa Kuroda 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 Nagahisa Kuroda 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 Nagahisa Kuroda 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 Nagahisa Kuroda

In research
Nagahisa Kuroda 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 Nagahisa Kuroda 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
Nagahisa Kuroda is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1916 births, 2009 deaths, 20th-century Japanese zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Nagahisa Kuroda 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.
