Neil Armstrong once said “I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.” NASA has been sending satellites, space shuttles, people, and many other things into space ever since they were first created, but sending all those things into space isn’t the only thing that NASA has done, they have also done as much as they can to help the people…

a sedimentary rock composed essentially of calcite, a mineral of calcium carbonate. The formation processes of limestone differ substantially in the origin of the constituents sediments: these may result (organogenic limestones) from shells or exoskeletons. They can also be formed by the chemical precipitation of salts dissolved in water (chemogenic limestones). Finally they may come from the degradation of existing limestone (detrital or clastic…

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for living beings; its consumption is vital to our existence. The Carbohydrates play various roles in our body; the main ones are the nutrition and energy supply. The body will use every trick to keep the fed cells, as the glucose supply cannot stop. Foods rich in carbohydrates, such as breads, cereals, rice and pasta, are an important form of energy for the body and, therefore, are very important to a healthy diet. However, when consumed in excess,…

Transhumanism is when technology is involved in enhancing human life. Technology is a growing business in this century. The advancements have been major assets to human beings. The contributions of transhumanism include artificial hearts and exoskeleton technology. Every day a new invention of transhumanism is being processed to help make human life either better or easier. Humans should participate in the idea of transhumanism because it helps us have a longer life span, makes us more…

During the last few years big companies have improved and developed the artificial intelligence, but is this a real benefit for humanity? This new technology was first created in 1940 by Alan Turing a British mathematician, but this hasn`t had a great importance among his fellows. It was not until 1950 where this new intelligence had greater importance. Artificial Intelligence is very beneficial to society since it improves our quality of life. Artificial intelligence has been helping and…

It was 5:00 am when my roommate woke me up. I had gone to bed a mere 3 hours earlier. This was the third day in a row I had gotten so little sleep. I was in Detroit with my youth group at the ELCA’s National Youth Gathering. I, along with 30,000 other Lutheran teens, was in Detroit for the week as a service project. Groggily, I made my way out the door for a short morning run to wake myself up before our next long day. After the run, I got ready for the day set ahead of me. It was my group’s…

In order to survive under several environmental influences, animals must possess biological mechanisms which enable them to regulate and maintain their internal environment. Temperature is one of abiotic factors that are inexorably linked to every animal’s physiological functions since it is considered a strong source of selective pressure on animals (Miller, 2010). Animals are categorized into thermoregulators and thermoconformers based on their mechanisms to maintain their internal environment…

The general population have this general practice they all engage and that is to maintain the consistency of their social worlds. In addition, the social world’s that were developed form their cultures they were raised in, showed them how to behave in their social worlds. Furthermore, the different cultures developed the understanding on how to treat illness. Then manipulated that understanding into shaping and transitioning into their own individual ideals and norms of society. This was…

2b. The critique presented by Gould and Lewontin in the Spandrels paper describes the shortcomings of the adaptationist program that had been the predominant path of evolutionary thought for decades. Adaptationists see natural selection as the only and all-powerful force that can overcome any constraint to species' traits, and that evolution in turn relies exclusively on natural selection. In challenging this concept of adaptation, Gould and Lewontin are not denying the existence evolution by…

As the amount of anthropogenic CO2 has been rising in the atmosphere, this has meant a natural rise in the levels of CO2 in the oceans. This rise can have a large effect on the natural biogeochemical cycles of the oceans. The largest effect will be seen through the acidification of the oceans. When CO2 is dissolved in seawater it increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the ocean, which then decreases the overall pH, causing acidification. This acidification can have a detrimental effect…
