proportions. The annulus is 65% water, with the collagen, both type I and II making up 55% of the dry weight, and proteoglycans (mostly the larger aggregate type - 60%) making up 20% of the dry weight. 10% of the annulus also contain 'elastic fiber' that are seen near where the annulus attaches into the vertebral end-plate.…

are composed mainly of sand and gravel, and they are closely compacted together which means that they are not affected by water. Therefore, their load bearing capacity does not change with the various seasons, summer or winter, drought or flood, it makes no difference. This means that they are unchanging. Cohesive Cohesive subsoils are predominantly clay they rely on water for their strength and to bond the very fine particles together. They will be particularly affected by drought and the…

forms tightly compact anti-parallel chains, favouring strong H-bonding creating the hard structural component of exoskeletons [1, 3]. β-chitin is present in molluscs, particularly squid and cuttlefish, with a parallel arrangement, causing a less stable structure due…

the exception of a few dry, arid Great Plains states. It inhabits fresh and brackish marshes, swamps, ditches, moist wetlands and meadows. It is tolerant of diverse site conditions, but thrives in direct sun, finely textured soils, and shallow fresh water. Wildlife Uses Stands of Rush form deep, fibrous root systems. These provide shoreline protection, filter pollutants, absorb nutrients, and facilitate soil health. The plant’s seeds and vegetative parts are utilized for food or cover by…

Dangers of Underwater Exploration There are over fifty careers that have a sort of connection to underwater exploration. Many people explore for a living and others only for personal interest such as scuba diving. There have been many theories about objects getting lost in the ocean and many people go deep in the ocean to find them. For example, the lost land of Atlantis is said to have silver and gold (Drye). Based on Plato’s writings, philosophers say that as punishment to the…

of the Marine Corps “One, two, three, chug!” the drill instructors howled at the group of female, Marine Corps recruits lined up on the quarter deck. Each recruit, unable to give a sample for urinalysis that morning, took another swig of warm tap water from their issued canteen; three canteens down, however many to go. I stood frozen in the position of attention by my rack. I was grateful not to be standing on the quarterdeck with them this time. “One, two, three, chug!” I watched in disbelief,…

of what I can see when I look someone in the eyes. In the distance, thunder echoed, causing people to look around in concern for rain. Dark clouds over looked the town, making little children constantly duck inside whenever they felt a drop of water. There were no stars out tonight, and the moon shone faintly behind a haze of clouds. A gentle breeze swished through the small town, causing smoke from surrounding torches to fly into the faces of unsuspecting people . Soft music filled the air,…

of desert. The typical temperature is Hot and I would expect minor precipitation to fall there in the month of my visit. The soil type is dry dirt and is very dusty, as well as the area around me is very barren. I chose a site on a slope without a water drainage feature. 3. I expected to find lots of shrubs, cactus, bushes, and no grass. That is close to what I observed when I was there. I observed an Owl coming up out of a hole, and make a sound at me. Which I believed it to be a burrowing…

result of chemicals being released from human productions, great amounts of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are respired into the atmosphere, where rain and gas matter is polluted. Once both sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide come in contact with water or oxygen, acids are formed. Devastation extremes are directly related to the acidic concentration within deposition. High amounts of chemicals in the atmosphere can also result from decaying plants, animals, or natural disasters, such…

A boat came around and had a big spotlight on him then sooner than he could say hey, they had him in the boat. After that they asked him all types of questions and then they said when we are done with getting other people out of the water we will head back.
