Species are dying, which in turn causes the loss of biodiversity. In order to have a sustainable environment, there needs to be an increase in biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. The number of species of plants and animals are both part of the biological diversity of the Polynesia-Micronesia hotspot. The loss of biodiversity in this hotspot damages crucial services provided by nature. A biodiversity hotspot is a region with a significant amount of…

to interview Dr. Stuart McDaniel, an assistant professor at the University of Florida. Since Dr. McDaniel was a child, he loved the outdoors and was always interested in backpacking. He had a specific interest for maps and the distribution of plants. Plants on mountain tops never ceased to amaze him. He received is Bachelors of Science in biology from Oberlin College. In 1994, he moved to Paraguay as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Agroforestry department. After that, he embarked his journey with…

Measurable Objective The goal was to treat the residents Peripheral Vascular Disease in her toes immediately so there would not be any amputations. After the resident’s treatment and rehab, the goal was to send the resident home with her daughter. The objective was to find a service and solutions for the resident and family to find a treatment center. Social Services researched and called local treatment center that treat Peripheral Vascular Diseases. After finding the service that would help…

(Brodribb, Pitterman, & Coomes, 2012). As in Waring and Franklin’s (1979), the Pinaceae’s needle-like leaves, which are tightly packed, protect their vascular tissue and thus allow for a high photosynthetic efficiency and for photosynthetic rates equal or superior to analogous angiosperms. This, in addition to their freeze-thaw resistant vascular systems (Brodribb & Feild, 2008) allow them to disperse across the northern hemisphere (Fragniere, Betrisey, Cardinaux, Stoffel, & Kozlowski, 2015).…

Who’s the better reproducer? With time comes change and with change comes evolution. Organisms are classified into three distinctive groupings: Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya and the kingdom of plants (Plantae) falls under Eukarya. It could be argued that plants are one of the most valued organisms on Earth. Not only do they provide oxygen for the oxygen dependant organisms, such as mammals through the process of photosynthesis, but, they also provide stable conditions and habitats for other…

a week for a period of 5 hours per visit. Most of them have multiple morbidities. More than sixty percent of the population is diabetic and sixteen percent of the remaining population has peripheral vascular disease. According to the literature the prevalence of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is greater in this population (Crozier, 2014). It was evident there was a lack of education about foot care among this veteran population and the need to create a program to educate…

The roots are composed of xylem and phloem tissues covered by vascular tissue encased in ground tissue and epidermis (Reece 2014). The vascular cylinder contains xylem which transports water from the root to the leaves and phloem tissue that enables the transportation of glucose from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Eudicot roots will display a cross of xylem with phloem in between the lobes and monocot roots display a vascular cylinder with a core of parenchyma surrounded by xylem and a…

Ferns are a kind of seedless vascular plant that develop haploid spores in order to reproduce. In a typical fern life cycle, the parent fern will produce haploid spores inside of multicellular structures called sporangia, which are found on the underside of the leaves of a mature fern plant in groups or clusters known as sori (Cordle et. al. 2007). Once the spores are produced they will disperse and will eventually undergo mitosis under favorable conditions in order to produce small gametophytes…

and harden the arteries. This leads to progressive narrowing of the artery. When this takes place in the peripheral vessels, blood flow id compromised to the lower extremities, and is known as PVD/PAD. There are actually three types of Peripheral Vascular Disease. Type 1(10-15% of patients) involves the aorta and ileac arteries, type 2 (~ 25% of patients) involve the aorta and the common and external ileac arteries, and the most common type 3(~60-70% of patients) which involves the aorta,…
