to corruption of power when coming into politics. Kings or government may take advantage of the power they have and act in inhumane ways against others.

In most scenarios, a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament is highly repairable; however, if the steps in the rehabilitation process are not followed closely and carefully, it could easily lead to further injury and a longer recovery process. An athlete never…

Osmoregulation in Cyclograpsus and Plagusia crab species Hartzer, A.M, 19971613, First year BSc student, Stellenbosch University, South Africa Abstract Osmoregulatory processes within two crab species are investigated in this practical. The Plagusia, an infratidal species, and Cyclograosus, an intertidal species, are investigated to determine which is an osmoregulator and which is an osmoconformer. The haemolymph was extracted after allowing the species to acclimatize to varying concentrations…

conical flask 100 cm3 of the test water. After that I added 3 drops of indicator mo or mr. The next step was preparing the burette, hence I removed any air bubbles from the nozzle and filled it with 0,025 M hydrochloric acid till zero (the lower meniscus has to coincide with the scales 0-notation). Then I titrated the water sample with a 0,025 M hydrochloric acid solution, while stirred the water in the flask with intense circular movements. At the stoichiometric point, the colour of the water…

season, Rose made his much awaited turn, during the time period he actually played in this season Derrick played horribly. He was shooting 28.8% from the field, and averaging 5.7 turnovers.
