Birds of New Zealand

example, GFT proteins have been embedded in animal genomes which allows tagged proteins in the body to fluoresce in a certain color, acting as a biological tag. This has enabled scientists to monitor the process of angiogenesis in cancers and also new discoveries for organ transplantations. It is very likely that these studies and discoveries would not have proceeded at least at the current rate without the ability to test on animals, as it would be difficult to alter a human’s genome in a way…

Freshwater management has been of major concern in New Zealand, particularly during the last two decades. There has been consistent decline in water quality and quantity in Canterbury during this time. Consequently, work has been made to improving the way water resources are managed. This report will discuss the consent conditions for the Lincoln University Dairy and Research Farms, consent number CRC143396, and how the consent is monitored. The Resource Management Act (1991), the Dairying Clean…

Honor means great respect for what you have done especially big accomplishments. Honor is when someone respects you for your accomplishments. Scientist Ernest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in Spring Grove New Zealand. A pioneer of nuclear physics and the first to split the atom in half he was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his theory of atomic structure. His father James had little education and struggled to support the large family of 14 but his mother Martha worked…

that houses all the volcanos in Russia called the Kamchatka Peninsula. Kamchatka, like Russia, has extremely cold winters and cold summers and has a population of approximately 200,000 people. There are abundant amounts of wildlife such as certain birds and brown bears that do surprisingly well considering that there are volcanos constantly erupting. People that travel to Kamchatka Kamchatka was originally discovered in 1697 by Vladimir Atlasov, a traveler. He built a small yet popular trading…

Specifically, their large size, longevity, leaf shape and carbon balance are considered adaptive advantages. Though the evergreen forests are unique, the conclusions tend to be applicable to other conifer forests – for instance those in Japan and New Zealand (Pacala, et al., 1996). Additionally, in north temperate ecosystems, Pinaceae are aggressive competitors (Brodribb, Pitterman, & Coomes, 2012). As in Waring and Franklin’s (1979), the Pinaceae’s needle-like leaves, which are tightly…

was in a terrible situation of being almost killed by enemies and some other people living around the same place. (Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand, n. pag.) The Moriori tribe were a peaceful people who were enslaved and almost obliterated from the Earth as a result of colonization and war. It is known that the Moriori were a race that settled in New Zealand…

Main designer: Ian Athfield (Figure 3) Wellington Civic Square was designed in based on a brief of a new development of civic centre. It involved three Wellington architectural firms to work on a concept plan. Ian Athfield was the dominant force during the development stage. He later on became directly involved in the Civic Square design (Niven 32-33). Sir Ian Athfield was an architect born in Christchurch, 15th July 1940 and passed away on 16th January 2015 at the age of 75. When Athfield was a…

musical systems in other countries. These differences in the musical systems make it impossible for a musician to simply pick up another instrument and start playing a melody. First of all the musician would need to learn the new system and then could begin to start playing with new instrumentation. In this case like a language music is not universal. Something universal wouldn’t need such a long amount of time or…

Meredith’s team to face multiple setbacks on the battlefield, including an instance when they tried to ambush the emus near a local drinking pool, as more than 1,000 emus were spotted. However, the operation quickly failed when the gun jammed and the birds tactically scattered quickly, resulting in only twelve emus killed (Burton). The emus' resistance to warfare, with their high resiliency to bullets and their maneuverability showcased the inefficiency of these efforts to reduce the emu…

Did one single disaster cause the K-T extinctions? Some scientists and people are committed to just one reason the K-T extinctions occurred but in this paper many possibilities will be explored with evidence to back up why they could have been a cause as well to the extinctions. Everyone will ultimately make his or her own decision/thoughts on what could have happened, and of course all hypotheses would be subject to analysis. Asteroid impact theory. The impact of a 10 km+ asteroid would blow a…
