Essays on Breeding

Bedbug manifestation has become more prevalent in the United States of late. Nowadays, the majority of the people with bedbug infestations at their homes have gotten them from hotels, public seats and from buying used furniture (Kells, 2016). I have chosen to write about this topic because it is one of the problems people in the United States are faced with. Bed Bug manifestation may also be brought about by the changes in climate. Changes in climate affect the breeding process of these insects because during warm weather; they may multiply to great numbers (Lai, Ho, Glick, & Jagdeo, 2016). ...

Distribution of the data

The mean is more than the median indicating that the data is not normally distributed and is positively skewed. This implies ...

Genly Ai has a single sexual designation in his culture and is confronted by a society that considers this to be a perversion. The concept of a perversion in this sense lies in unacceptable sexual behavior. The ability for the Gethenians to change their sexuality to complement their partner may have been an evolutionary result in order to maintain the continuance of the species. Therefore, having one sexuality is, to the Gethenians, a perversion that may threaten the species. Many types of animals may have become extinct due to the lack of a suitable mate for reproduction. For instance, ...

Poverty and scarcity

The scarcity of resources in the society has a relationship with poverty. However, poverty refers to a scenario where people lack basic necessities or adequate wealth to sustain meaningful life. It is important to note that poverty can be rampant in a country that has more resources than a country fewer resources. Therefore, poverty declines if people utilize the available resources in an efficient way to meet their needs. For example, a country that is in the civil war will have more people languishing in poverty than a stable country. On the other hand, scarcity refers to a shortage ...

Introduction

One of the largest areas of the world where pastoral nomadism and irrigating agriculture had been predominant throughout the history is Central Asia. There existed a set of aspects of geography and ecology of Central Asia that influenced the emergence of pastoral nomadism and irrigation agriculture in that territory. In this paper we will attempt to explore some of the causes and effects of pastoral nomadism and irrigating agriculture in Central Asia, taking into consideration its ecological and historic settings.

Introduction

Malaria is caused by a mosquitoes’ bite that carries a Plasmodium parasite. Malaria’s symptoms are: shivering, fever, headache, chills, and sweating malaise. Malaria can turn out to be life threatening to infants, elderly or people with low immunity (Better Health Channel, 2015). Typically, malaria is transmitted through infected Anopheles mosquito’s bite. After the bite, Plasmodium parasite is released into the bloodstream. It takes 2 to 3 days for the parasites inside RBC (red blood cells) to multiply and causes infected cells of the individual to burst open. Malaria can also spread through an infected mother as she ...

INTRODUCTION

There was a time when the world was almost entirely covered by forests, marshes, mountains and rainforests however, as human societies became more and more industrialized and the population continued to grow more and more natural environments were cleared to accommodate housing needs of people, the grazing lands for animals, room for human industries, and the obtaining of natural energy resources, like coal and oil. This is a reality for many states in the United States. That being said there are many people who have never spent a single day surrounded by authentic nature. It was in the 1860s ...

Introduction

Climate change is among the significant factors impacting ecological diversity on a worldwide scale. The growth of industries and the increasing human population globally have resulted in a rise in the volume of greenhouse gasses, which scientists have argued are the greatest contributors to the menace. The Florida Keys is one of the ecological treasures of the U.S. that continues to be impacted negatively by climate change and anthropogenic activities. This ecological treasure, which is located at the tip of the state of Florida, comprises about 1,700 islands that stretch for more than 200 miles to the west ...

Technology is a living being. It is evolving as time goes. In the beginning, during the Mesopotamia evolution, the type of technology was only regarded as unconnected technologies. The technology is increasingly mutating and maturing to become more complicated. A certain aspect of growth is not ignorable. The technological advancement has changed from the previously fixed physical outputs to those that can manipulate, combine and configure and for new products. It is not only becoming the part of the production. It is becoming the core of the manufacturing process. It is the focal point the current generation industry. It ...

Introduction

Until recently, genetic foods have become popular for their ability to address many production and quality issues faced by natural/organic farming methods. Genetically modified crops are those whose genetic makeup has been improved to enhance the level of nutrients, resistance to diseases, increase yields, adaptability to climatic factors, and reduce the time of production (Ronald & Adamchak, 2008). It is different from the conventional breeding because genetic modification allows introduction of genes from any organism (animal and plants) in altering crops whereas breeding allows transfer of genes across related species only. On the other hand, organic farming is a natural ...

The United States has seen a change in its security situation over the last three decades. Before the 9/11 attack, U.S. concentrated on preventing the attack of its citizens and property by jihadists who were mostly affiliated to Muslim countries. Still, U.S. authorities tracked the footsteps of all foreign-grown movements that posed a danger to the property and U.S. citizens working out the United States. After 9/11 attack, the U.S. began focusing on a more comprehensive and robust system to protect the United States from both domestic and international terrorism attacks. At this juncture, domestic and international groups carried ...

Our food is one of the most essential part of being human. As such, we have strived to improve techniques in food processing and preservation and have also sought ways to develop more efficient ways of food production. We have done research on various chemicals and fertilizers that allow crops to grow abundantly on relatively less fertile soil and we have also studied insecticides and pesticides that help farmers get rid of harmful pests that kill and lessen harvests of produce. However, these innovations have also led to adverse environmental effects on the quality of our environment and even ...

The General Assembly of the United Nations has stated that “Changes to the climate, brought about by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, will thus lead to changes in the oceans, including sea-level rise and ocean acidification, which will put marine ecosystems and coastal communities at risk. Most of these changes can be attributed to human activities and will negatively affect the animal inhabitants of the marine environment. Some effects of global warming on marine animals include changes in distribution, reduction of habitats and reductions in diversity and sex ratios. In the last hundred years, the rate ...

1) Population growth and overpopulation is one of the major problems of every developing country. The factors that influence population growth are: a) Women getting married at early ages lead to a high birth rate. b) Provision of health benefits to children, women and the elderly have contributed to decreased mortality rate, and thus increased birth rate. c) Lack of family planning contributes to increased birth greatly. According to census, The United States population as on June 11, 2016 is 323,747,258 with one birth in every eight seconds, one death in every seconds and one international migrant ...

Introduction

The Zika virus causes an illness known as Zika virus disease (Zika). The transmission of Zika virus occurs via the bite of an Aedes mosquito that is infected (CDC, 2016). Zika belongs to the genre Flavivirus and the WHO (2015) has identified it as “an emerging mosquito-borne virus.” The virus causes a mild illness that lasts a few days to a week (CDC, 2016; WHO, 2016). Thus, many people with the disease do not seek medical help. However, the greatest concern associated with Zika is microcephaly. This birth defect results from a Zika infection during pregnancy. This defect is ...

The number of people on the planet continues to increase and with them, the need for more and more nutritious food grows. For that reason, scientists seek research to genetically change plants and animals to provide medicine, good, and organisms not for consumption. As the public is exposed to information on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), strong opinions are forged concerning the safety of eating them. Questions arise over the risks presented to human beings and the environment, if GMOs are really necessary to supply the world with adequate amounts of food, if there are alternatives, and what surrounding ethical ...

What will make a young man who has just completed higher education to migrate from the rural set up to an urban one? This movement of inhabitancy from one geographical area to another either on temporary or permanent basis is caused by different factors that are either personal or occupational among others. Soon after independence, the third world states migration from rural areas to urban centers has been on the increase citing difference in economic opportunities and natural conditions, for example, the climate, soils or relief. Thus people migrate as their response to this. The high and better level ...

Scientists, the world over, have a common belief that over 90% of earth’s species have become extinct over the last three billion years that the planet has supported life . It is estimated that there have been at least five mass extinctions spread over millions of years at a time. The latest known mass extinction was towards the end of the Cretaceous period. It is most likely so well known because, the event which occurred over 65 million years ago, caused the end of the dinosaurs. Although in terms of the scale it was smaller than the previous four, ...

The majority of scientists are in agreement that global warming is occurring and is caused by human activities over the last two hundred years or so. Global warming is caused by the build up in the atmosphere of gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and others which have been created by the burning of fossil fuels in order to produce electricity, and for use in industries and motor vehicles. Another contribution to global is the removal of vast areas of natural forest from the planet. . The majority of carbon dioxide exchange between the atmosphere and the earth ...

We see these days restaurants like Chipotle and grocery stores claiming to serve non-genetically modified foods. Are we eating artificial food? Is that good for our bodies? Is that good for the food that is being modified? These questions raise awareness for people who are oblivious of what GMOs are and how they are affecting our daily lives. GMOs may be more common in our diets than we know. GMO stands for Genetically modified organism and is a term that stems from biotechnology. It is the alteration of the genetic code of an organism to either enhance its properties, ...

Article #1:

The article focussed on the breeding behaviours of emperor penguins that are recently discovered with the help of satellites. Mostly it is believed that penguins lay their eggs on sea ice that is fast and stable and that remains intact under the chick fledge. Fretwell and co-workers conducted this study on forty-six colonies emperor penguins. The recent observation revealed that few colonies of emperor penguins breed on ice-shelves instead of sea ice. Due to rapid climate changes and the incidence of ice melting the penguin population has declined and very close to extinction. It is a big concern that ...

Introduction

On the shores of the Gulf of Omen lies an almost dying city called Sur. Sur was the capital city of Ash Sharqiya Region before it was split into two. The primary activity in the city today seems like prayer and religion in general as most of the very few buildings in the city are mosques. The city only looks like what it used to be that what it is currently. The sea which is said to have been once the most active as a means of transport to East Africa looks deserted with only a few boats lying ...

The manipulation of genetic make-up in plants and animals can be seen from generations. This is the traditional cross-breeding and the plants and animals with strong characteristics are selected for breeding. With the advancement in DNA technology, new techniques have been used to identify the desired characteristics. The scientists have experimented with this technology and used the small piece of DNA of one organism and added it to the DNA of another organism ("WHO | Frequently asked questions on genetically modified foods", 2016). The host species is known as the Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) as it has the new desired ...

Introduction

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are arguably beneficial socioeconomically. However, there are rising concerns over the harm GMOs pose to the humans and their environment. The process of genetic modification entails altering the genetic composition of organisms to award them properties that are more desirable. According to Rifkin (17), the world is in transition toward a biotech age as illustrated by the advancement of GMOs. In the current society, the adoption of genetically engineered crops, such as soybeans, cotton, and corn, is widespread in the United States following two decades of concerns over consumer reception, and environmental and economic impact ( ...

Background information

Malaria, a mosquito borne transmissible disease of both human beings and some animals is a pertinent disease in the 21st century which accounts for more than 650, 000 deaths annually (WHO, 1147). The prevalence of malaria is highest in the tropical and subtropical regions. Adverse effects of the disease is an equally major public health issue that affects maternal and child health. In the developing countries, malaria is a leading cause of maternal and child health. Consequentially, it is a pertinent public health disease. This manuscript offers a succinct analysis of the disease while appraising its causative agents, life ...

I am an individual with varied interests. However, I have always remained fascinated by the science of the DNA Double Helix.  My fascination in DNA Double Helix and its functionality goes back to the 6th grade when I stumbled over my cousin’s biology assignments on the structure and functionality of the DNA Double Helix. I remember asking him to explain it to me. He said a lot of staff I could not understand then, but the only thing that caught my attention is conservative nature of DNA Double Helix. My focus on the DNA Double Helix grew fonder ...

Introduction

“Neo” generally means the new ways of doing things. Neoliberalism will therefore refer to new strategies which are used to improve the economic, political or social status. This paper examines how different women from different races are used to bring about an image perceived by the implementers to be positive and in line with improving the social and economic status of the society. The paper portrays an image of poor women from developing countries, how they are used as a tool in achieving neoliberalism and how most of them become passive victims of the circumstances. The paper also focuses ...

Introduction

Environmental adaptation is essential to the survival of any animal. In fact, this attribute helps organisms obtain nutrients, build homes, withstand extreme weather conditions, attach mates and enhance their safety (Nelson et al. 2008). With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that polar and grizzly bears have different physical and behavioral characteristics due to environmental adaptation in spite of their species similarities. The polar bear is specially adapted to survive in the cold pole regions. Its body structure and genetic composition have substantially evolved to accommodate the low temperatures and harsh environmental conditions. Its behavioral attributes ...
