Exoskeleton

Augmenting people for the sake of scientific advancement is a topic, which can lead to excitement and hope for the future. Sonia Miller believes that “[b]y welcoming and adopting new technologies [...], the human condition can be redesigned, allowing for personal growth beyond the current biological limitations” (Miller, 61). Although, this type of augmentation also raises serious ethical and social concerns among the general population. The depiction of augmented humans in popular media has…

Biodiversity of Coral Reefs By: Ganesh Balaji Ecology is a macro-scale science that encompasses all biological life. However, in order to fully understand the depth of ecology, and its significance in relation to life on earth, one must study the biodiversity of the species living in this planet. Although the history of modern human civilizations has largely ignored the importance and complexity of biodiversity, understanding the many layers of biodiversity will provide us with richer knowledge…

Just like pores on human skin which absorb elements of the world around us, the holes all over the sponge’s body as essentially pores as well. The function of the holes all over the sponge’s body is to allow water to be absorbed into the sponge’s body. Through the absorption of water, the sponge also absorbs food and oxygen to ensure survival. There is no one set type of symmetry for sponges. Therefore, not all sponges have the same type of symmetry. Sponges can range from asymmetrical to…

and recurring characteristics among specimens were identified. When coherent, the respective stratigraphic context of the selected specimens was also considered. Phylum Arthropoda Arthropods are bilateral animals with segmented exoskeletons. Segmentation of the exoskeleton occurs through a process known as sclerotization, whereby the cuticle thickens and hardens differentially throughout development. Arthropod segments are specialized to some extent, usually with paired appendages that have…

and hard materials, very similarly to bone. This can be observed in seashells, as their structure is very similar to compact bone. It has the presence of a porous foam material in its taxa, which can also be found in bones, antlers, anthropods, exoskeletons, teeth and bird beaks. This porous material provides a lightweight framework that helps increase the stiffness of the biological…

close 20 days or even beyond. During the larval stage, and in order to grow, mealworms larvae undergo repeated molting/growth cycles. It is estimated that the number of molting may range from 10-20 times. By reaching the last molt and shedding its exoskeleton, the larvae lose its carapace before curling into its pupal form which is the third stage in the life cycle. The larval stage is the stage where the insect is a…

How are Robots Replacing the Humans in the Military Robots are the future of the military. This affects our future by deciding weather or not the men and women in service will live during active duty. Robots could potentially eliminate the human factor in combat completely. Robots could perform tasks such as firing a weapon, doing recon or partaking in perimeter patrol. Considering these factors, Robots are a useful tool in our nations military and they are the military’s future.…
