The purpose behind this report is to educate you about Uluru. Discuss the present effect of natural and human processes on Uluru. To tell you what I anticipate will happen to the landform. I will examine the highlights of Uluru, the effect that natural and human processes have had on Uluru and how the effect of natural and human processes may influence what will happen to Uluru in future years. The landform that I am researching and investigating is Uluru. Uluru is the most iconic natural…

The Amazing World of Honey Bees Like most animals, honey bees require proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, fats, vitamins, and water for normal growth and development. Honey contains all of these important things, but honey is made just from the nectar of plants and bee added enzymes. Not only are honey bees known for making honey, but they are also pollinators and without them we would lose a lot of necessary things like plants. Honey bees are extremely important for different reasons; however,…

Nosema is one of the most prominent bee diseases in the US. It affects around 60% of bee hives in the US. (Shimanuki 4) The Nosema is caused by a microorganism called a protozoan. This organism is spread through spores and is transmitted by bees that drift between colonies or raid weak colonies for honey. Nosema affects the digestive system of the bee and is spread through the fecal matter. The protozoan lives in the midgut of the bee and it lives off of the honey…

Social determinants are influences and factors that can have a negative and positive impact on the health and wellbeing of an individual, which affects their daily living and health status (Royal College of Nursing, 2012). Dahlgren and Whiteheads model of social determinants highlights the relationship between lifestyle, social networks, working and living conditions and economic, political and environmental factors (NHS Education of Scotland, 2016). The model enables the exploration of how…

HAPTER ONE 1.0 Introduction 1.1Background information Disinfection describes a process that eliminates many or all pathogenic microorganisms, except bacterial spores or inanimate objects. In health-care setting, objects are usually disinfected by liquid chemicals or wet pasteurization.(Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities,2008). Disinfection in hospitals especially in medical training hospitals is of significant concern for both the medical professionals and the…

Mucor hiemalis showed high resistance to (Zn, Al) (Table, 37 & Fig. 46). The most interesting, high concentrations of zinc stimulated the growth better than low concentrations (Table 37), Aluminum could stimulate the growth of the fungus slightly in concentrations 100 ppm and 300 ppm respectively. Lower and higher concentrations slightly inhibited the growth but aluminum couldn’t stop the growth of the fungus (Table 37, Fig. 46). While (Mn , Cu and Pb) succeeded to stimulate the growth of Mucor…

Introduction: The effectiveness of Antimicrobial agents against Microorganisms Population of microorganisms or growth are killed and/or inhibited by natural or synthetic chemical antimicrobial controls (Madigan, et al 2012). Antimicrobial agents are grouped according to their efficacy against microorganisms. Bactericidal that kill and bacteriostatic prevent and/or reduce growth (Madigan et al, 2012). Harmful pathogens are targeted with different antimicrobial agents according to their toxicity…
