Innovation in Taxi Industry Evolution of the Transport Industry: The first form of transport was, of course, Shanks pony (the human foot!). However people eventually learned to use animals for transport. Various animals were domesticated before the mechanical vehicles came into the picture. Later, in 1935 the first parking meter was installed in the USA. This acted as one of catalyst for the emergence of the Taxi Industry which is now being revolutionized by the advent of new applications.…

HUMAN CLONING: PROS AND CONS OF REPRODUCTIVE CLONING Cloning is the process of creating identical cells, genes, organs or even organisms through asexual reproduction. It has been a common practice of mankind for a long time. It has becomes the debatable issue since it was used to clone animals around 40-50 years ago. Human cloning has created an offense toward ethical issue of human right. According to Yadav and Sharma (2011), the person who promoted human cloning must convince others and show…

In Frankenstein, Nature and science have brought a significant impact onto the characters. The progression of science combined with nature leads to a debacle. With this, there are various effects and roles shown through nature and science. Mary Shelley expresses her message about this. In her times, she was part of the transition from the Enlightenment to the Romanticist age and this led her to composing a story with nature and science competing against each other. From the struggles between the…

SCIENCE ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY MATHEMATICS By Teanah Bautista and Izak Ford BIOLOGY OF HEARING The hearing is a quite a significant piece of creation used by humans. The complex organization of bones, hair, and cells it captures vibrated sound waves and processes to the brain. With everything happening almost instantly. But it's not as easy as it sounds. The sound is invisible vibrated particles through the air. The moving vibrations cause the air around to also vibrate creating sound waves…

stressed out red blood cells to create an environment where harmful malaria bacteria would not be able to thrive in. The cause was later isolated in 1956 by medical researchers as G6PD deficiency which is common in African and Mediterranean descents. G6PD is an enzyme that protects red blood cells from damage, and premature death. This means that the bodies of people with G6PD deficiency will be weaker against harmful bacteria, and with primaquine stressing the red blood cells, the body becomes…

Both texts, Gattaca and Never Let Me Go show an alternative future based on the advancement of genetics and the effect they have on society. By genetically cloning individuals for organ harvesting and the attempt to create a perfect society with "perfect humans" it is evident that what matters most is what you are, not who you are. A constant display of dehumanisation is shown through the relationship between those who have been somewhat dehumanised and those who have been brought up in an ideal…

children’s personality traits. Science should be used to better a person’s life, not determine it. It is not a moral obligation of a parent to screen out “personality flaws” but it is a parent’s moral obligation if they want to cure their child of sickle cell disease and save the child from a painful and possibly shortened life. It is wrong for parents and scientists to play God, except in the instance it could save the child from suffering. Now that scientists have successfully modified human…

Hookworms are small and short worms. They live in the small intestines of man. They are called hookworms because each of them has hooks on its head around the mouth. The worm attaches itself to the inside wall of the intestine by these hooks. Hookworms feed on blood. They suck this from the wall of the intestine to which they are attached. There are often several hookworms at the same time in the child's tummy. All of them feed on the blood of the child. Therefore, one of the major effects of…

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS: The limiting factor of area is the size of the polystyrene cup used in the experiment. Each of the polystyrene cups was the exact size in order to be able to determine how different amounts of fertilizer affected the duckweed growth. Hence, the factor of size could not be investigated as each different amount of fertilizer was exposed to the exact same area. This can be linked to the literature review that discusses how the area where it is growing affects duckweed growth.…

Regeneration is the process of renewal or restoration of a body, part of the body or biological system after a wound or as a normal process. It is the process that makes the genomes, cells and organisms flexible to natural changes that cause disturbances or damage. All species are able to regenerate from bacteria to humans. Regeneration can be of two types: it can be complete when the new tissue is equal to the lost or incomplete tissue when the necrotic tissue presents fibrosis. Different…
