Global warming has been an important issue facing the world because many things are affected by global warming. Deforestation, burning fossil fuels, industry wastes, and greenhouse effect are all caused by global warming. The effects of global warming are an increase in sea level, droughts, storms, extinction of animals, loss of coral reef and increase in temperature. Many governments across the globe are trying to increase the awareness of global warming. Humans play a big role in this issue…

For the past decade or so, scientists have been desperately trying to convince the world of the severity of climate change, but people wouldn 't listen. Skeptics claimed that the government was trying to control the population with fear, or that a degree or two didn 't mean that the climate was changing. Despite the painfully obvious evidence, people continued to emit the same amount of toxic greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. To understand what climate change is, one must first understand…

to be “social stability”, the government selects the cast for each human being and requires that each child undergo the alarming and lengthy process of conditioning for their specific class (Huxley 11-15). For those who are destined to live in the tropics as low-class, Epsilon miners, lab workers put the embryos through “heat conditioning”, where “hot tunnels alternate with cool tunnels” to cause the embryos to “thrive on heat” (Huxley 13). This extensive process in Brave New World depicts the…

Presence of carnivores helps to maintain the integrity of ecosystems throughout the world (Soulè and Terborgh, 1999). Many carnivores are capable of altering trophic structure and biodiversity through a process known as top-down control (Elmhagen and Rushton, 2007). Through this, carnivores are able to prevent the overabundance of herbivores. If uncontrolled, an explosion in herbivore population density would increase the grazing pressure that would ultimately threat the survival of the…

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity on leaves extract of Callistemon citrinus by using inhibition of albumin denaturation technique. Method- The different extract i.e. chloroformic, ethanolic and aqueous extract at different concentrations was incubated with egg albumin in controlled experimental condition and subjected to determine absorbance to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity. Diclofenac sodium was used as the standard/ reference drug. Result: This…

The world will melt its way into an apocalyptic world, oceans will flood places, people will die of the heat, starvation will take place. How will the human race prevent this from happening? In order to stop global warming scientists must find ideas, and look at what is causing this? Global Warming occurs when a vast quantity of C02 along with other pollutants gets into the atmosphere and absorbs light as well as solar radiation, which has bounced off the surface of the Earth for centuries in…

appliances such as refrigerators, and air conditioners, it would reduce a lot of energy. It is also a good idea to try to plant many more trees than are being cut down. “Every year, 33 million acres of forests are cut down. Timber harvesting in the tropics alone contributes 1.5 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere” (Biello). This…

Werner’s syndrome (WS) is a very rare autosomal recessive disease that will cause premature aging for both men and women, where symptoms may start showing up during or after puberty and will continue on through their entire lifetime.1 This being said, there is a great disproportion between a patient’s real age and the perceived appearance age. A patient that is diagnosed with WS will age progressively faster than its peers, and the median lifespan is around 54 years of age.2 Another name for…
