Reference excerpt

The Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum (Lithuanian: Kauno Tado Ivanausko zoologijos muziejus) is a museum of zoology, established in Kaunas, Lithuania, in 1919 by Tadas Ivanauskas (1882–1970). The museum collects and exhibits various animals: hunting trophies, stuffed animals, insect collections, skeletons, and dissections. It is also an educational and research institution that has four branches: bird ringing stations in Ventė Cape and Juodkrantė, nature reserves in Čepkeliai Marsh and Lake Žuvintas.

History

The museum was established on 15 July 1919 together with the Natural Research Station in Kaunas, Vilnius Street. It began with a zoological collection belonging to the head of the station, Tadas Ivanauskas, which was brought from the Lebiodka manor of Ivanauskas noble family in the Lida region. A few years later, the Nature Research Station was transferred to the newly established Vytautas Magnus University and became the Department of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy. The museum served as a teaching facility for students and a repository for scientific collections. In 1929 it was moved to new premises in K. Donelaitis Street, where it was possible to set up an exhibition open to the public. During the first Soviet occupation in 1940, the Department of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy was moved to Vilnius University, while the museum remained in Kaunas. In 1945, the Institute of Biology of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences became the Museum's administrator. This gave rise to an independent institution - the Kaunas Zoological Museum. In 1948, it was moved to the premises of a former bank at 106 Laisvės Avenue, where it currently operates. In 1963, the Museum was transferred to the Committee for Nature Conservation under the Council of Ministers of the LSSR and remained under this jurisdiction throughout the complex development of this institution until it was transferred to the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania. In 1975-82, the museum building was reconstructed and a new exposition was built. In 1970, the museum was named after the founder and long-time coordinator Tadas Ivanauskas.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, 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 Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum 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 Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum 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 Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum

In research: Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum appears in engineering 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 Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum 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: Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1919 establishments in Lithuania, European museum stubs, Lithuanian building and structure stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tadas Ivanauskas Zoological Museum 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.
