    Locomotion is the movement of a body from one place to another. There are various ways in which species of organisms in the 9 major phylum classes of the kingdom Animalia adapted unique muscle systems and how they use them. A phylum class includes organisms that are different but share important characteristics that resulted from evolutionary relationships among major groups of animals that allowed organisms to adapt in terms of the way they locomote. The Phylum Porifera is made up of sea…

    Background A longitudinal study completed by researchers Fitzpatrick, Côté-Lussier, Pagani, and Blair was entitled “I Don’t Think You Like Me Very Much: Child Minority Status and Disadvantage Predict Relationship Quality with Teachers” and was published in 2015. This study attempted to advance the theory of developmental systems that consider the interaction between a child and teacher to be shaped by attributes of each student, the nature of the communication, and the environment. The purpose…

    coastline stretches over 15,000 kilometres in length. It is home to vast varieties of environments that range from sandy beaches to rugged cliffs and beyond. Many iconic features have occurred as a result of physical processes such as coastal (Tides, Waves and Currents) and atmospheric (Wind and Rain). As well as these examples we will also look at the Terrestrial (Land) processes that have influenced or been influenced…

    branches" and they are classified by their polarization as T_1A , T_2A and LA which can be count as one longitudinal (LA) and two transverse acoustics (T_1A, T_2A). The acoustic branches are characterized by the relation ω → 0 when q → 0, with atoms vibrating in phase. The other upper branches above the first 3 branches are called the "optical branches", which can also be classified as longitudinal or transverse, and they are characterized by the relation ω ≠ 0 when q → 0, with atoms moving…

    produce the mucosal wave as the vibrations travel from lower to upper vocal folds. There is a slight time lag between the approximation and separation of lower and upper edges of vocal folds. This is called the vertical phase difference. The vocal folds close the glottis horizontally from anterior to posterior and posterior to anterior (similar to a zipper). The glottis closes in the opposite direction from anterior to posterior thus creating a time lag called the longitudinal phase difference.…
