Relative humidity

in which mesh bags were placed over individual plants to determine if abiotic (non-living) factors were important in relation to the survival of genomes. Measurements were taken on the changes in microclimate, in relation to temperature and relative humidity. The impact of larval feeding was recorded; measured by number of larvae per fruit and the number of seeds consumed by each larva. It was noted that the presence or absence of predators doesn't seem to have any affect on the plant…

1. INTRODUCTION 17 18 The genus Camptotheca, including the two tree species C. acuminata(Chinese Happytree) and C. lowreyana[1], is of 19 great medicinal importance because it provides effective medicines against various forms of cancer [2-4]. Some 20 taxonomical studies include the genus in the Cornaceae or Cornaceae s.l. family [5-7], whereas others place it - together 21 with the genus Nyssaand often also with Davidia- in a separate Nyssaceae family [1, 2, 8, 9].…

Teaching in honey bees The study of social learning and teaching has a strong focus on vertebrates especially those that are closely related to humans. However, evidence especially within the last twenty years has indicated that other organisms may also show very similar characteristic, therefore this paper proposes a potential research opportunity into Bees, which have been show highly gregarious and interdependent creatures. Background In the current literature, a large area of research is…

South Asia, is home to over one fifth of the world’s population and is known to be the most disaster prone region in the world. It is also home to a majority of the world’s poor. According to FAO (2009), 1.02 billion people are undernourished worldwide in 2009. About 456 million people in South Asia are estimated to be undernourished. In the recent past, climate change emerged as the single most pressing issue facing society on a global basis, with serious implications for the food security of…

INTRODUCTION In the recent advancement of targeted therapeutics that was coupled with new approaches in target identification have accelerated the need to design small compounds with drug like properties [1]. Quinoxaline is well known for its broad coverage in the field of medicine as well as for its application in the pharmaceuticals as they have shown wide range of biological properties such as antimicrobial [2], antibacterial [3], antitubercular [2, 4], antiprotozoal [5] , anti-candida [2, 6]…

I know what to believe? Climate is defined by the Oxford Dictionary (University, 2015) as the average weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period. It includes patterns of temperature, precipitation (rain or snow), humidity, wind and seasons (Adelsman, 2012). When there are changes in long-term averages of daily weather this is called climate change. Scientists believe that climate change is linked to the increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) along…

above 35°C (Oelke, 1990). Although quinoa can withstand such extreme temperatures, its ideal temperature for cultivation is still 15°C to 20°C (FAO, 2013). Quinoa can grow at anywhere, desert, dry and warm, mild and rainy, temperate with high relative humidity, puna and high mountain areas; each climate can be adapted accordingly to various quinoa ecotypes (FAO, 2013). Quinoa can be produced from sea level to 4000 meters above as its’ capable to adapt to adverse climate condition (FAO, 2011).…

Aerobic Fitness Laboratory Report Ethan C. Bagwell University of Arkansas Introduction The problem addressed in this laboratory report is aerobic fitness and its association with cardiovascular disease and all cause mortality. Aerobic fitness is related to the ability to perform large muscle, dynamic, moderate to vigorous intensity exercise for prolonged periods of time (Thompson, Gordon, & Pescatello, 2014). Aerobic fitness has been considered a health-related part of physical fitness due to…

CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION Concrete a manmade material widely and greatly used in construction Industry. This concrete is a mixture of adequate proportion of cement, water and aggregate. Hardening (or) strength of this material is obtained by the chemical action between water and cement. As the time increases the stronger it grows (i.e strength of concrete is directly proportion to its age).The durability, strength, versatility and other characteristics of concrete depends upon the properties and…
