With the increase in population today, there has been an increment in the utilization of plastic sacks. This is apparent by the increment in the quantity of plastic paper in use by the populace especially during the rise of fossil fuels in the twentieth century (Turk, & Bensel, 2014). Plastic sacks are produced using a non-renewable natural gas. The manufacturing of plastic sacks prompts a decrease in accessibility of our natural resources and mischief to the nature's turf because of the extraction of petroleum.

The Gross Domestic Product has been used as an index of economic progress since the dawn of the nineteenth century. The use of GDP as an index of economic growth and development was inspired by the works of Simon Kuznets who stressed the importance of this measure of the total economic production in a nation in a year as an index to compare the economic improvement a country makes over time as well as for a cross-country comparison. But Kuznets himself later on expressed his view on the inability of GDP to take into account a number of important aspects of growth.

The fundamental concepts of the psychoanalytic theory are the underlying forces (inner drives, mental and emotional processes, motives) shaping the personality, behavior, thinking, attitude, decision making, etc. Central to this theory, introduced by Sigmund Freud, is a point of view that a individual in his or her development passes through specific psychosexual stages: oral, anal, phallic, latent and genital. Ericson, who also contributed to the psychoanalytic theory, offered different classification of development stages. Each stage has its unique needs, motivation drivers, challenges and relationships. According to Freud, people act from three major states of the ...

The process of exploiting the environment by humans leads to environmental problems. Leon (2012) says that humans treat rivers as sewers by polluting the rivers and disrupting the ecosystem. The process of de-forestation decreases the number of plants that absorb carbon dioxide translating to enormous amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Leon (2012) cites the coal mining industry in pursuit of economic development degrade the environment.

The state of current technology necessitated by the modern culture perpetrates activities that deteriorate the quality of the environment (Leon, 2012).The Biosphere II experiment demonstrates that the atmosphere does not have a ...

- Factors in phenotypic variations
Factors in phenotypic variation consist of: Variation in phenotype (Vp); Variation in phenotypes caused by genetic variation (Vg); Variation of phenotype caused by environment (Ve); Variation in phenotype caused by interaction of genotype and environment (Vgxe). In addition to the above factors, phenotypic variation is also influenced by effects of genotype on phenotypes.

- Additive genetic variation formula shows that Va is influenced by phenotypes (p), additive (a) and dominance (d). As population evolves, the values of p, a, and d change. Consequently, Va value also changes. Based on the narrow sense heritability formula, change in Va ...

Corridors and Population Dispersion

Part I. Introduction and Review of Relevant Biology

1. Energy transfer becomes inefficient in higher trophic levels in a food chain. Predators utilize more energy in obtaining food than their prey. The number of organisms and the amount of biomass defines energy relationships among organisms in trophic levels. Most top predators are huge in size but their population is lower because there is not enough energy to support a large population of these predators (Odum and Barrett).

2. A population of infinite size is seen less likely to evolve since it would be almost resistant to random fluctuations within the environment. Small populations on the other hand are prone ...

- Develop a hypothesis on which pot you believe will contain the highest biodiversity.

Hypothesis = If one pot has direct exposure to sunlight it will have the highest level of growth and production.

Accept/Reject = I would accept the hypothesis based solely on that the direct sunlight provided the growth need. The plant with direct sunlight is full in the pot and vibrant. The plant away from direct sunlight looks as though it is struggling. The plant is leaning into the sunlight which shows it really does need ...

What does ‘characterisation’ mean in environmental planning law and what effect does s.106 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW) have in relation to this ?

Characterisation in environmental planning law means the vivid description of the development of the use of the land or environment. This enables one to know the purpose of development and thus will cause one to know whether the components to be used in the development are either independent or ancillary.

More specifically, nursing care is used to help people enhance their self-care abilities, which they would need for survival and for maintaining their well-being and their quality of life.

• What is Darwin’s point about domestic breeding (for example, the breeding of pigeons and dogs)?

Breeding was a popular and familiar exercise among the farmers in the 19th century. The farmers who wanted to change the shape of the pick of the pigeon or the color of the sheep will selectively choose the sheep or the pigeon with the certain characteristics to breed. Therefore, the farmer will only breed the sheep (with white wool) and the pigeon (with a long and narrow beak) for certain duration. As a result of selective breeding, the whole flock of sheep or pigeons will have the desired characteristics. This is because the offspring will inherits some of the traits of their ...

That accidents happen in the workplace because of negligible acts by the company and its employees is without a doubt. However, sometimes accidents are purely unpredictable and can happen even in the most careful of setups. Research has indicated that fatigue is one of the main causes of catastrophes that occur in the workplace.

Supply chain is the systematic process involving individuals, information, activities, and resources that are all used to move a finished product from the supplier to the final consumer. Supply chain management in the 21st century, requires companies to introduce green supply chains and sustainable logistics. Rapidly depleting economic resources put immense pressure on suppliers to make use of ‘environment friendly’ supply and distribution channels.

Taking initiatives for greening the supply chains can have a large impact on both economic and transport growth. However, various measures must be taken to decouple both, so that there is no conflict between the two. ...

There are several pertinent sustainability issues in a context of the logistics and supply chain management such as fossil fuel is used in order to generate the power for ensuring the smooth functioning of the supply chain, but it is resulting in the emission of dangerous carbon compounds. The carbon emission then paves the way to the destruction of the environment. Furthermore, the consumers are purchasing goods that have been sourced over the long distances, such goods, however, contain larger carbon footprints that are also contributing to the damage of the environment.
Moreover, the distribution networks are not configured ...

1) What's the difference between skill and accuracy in weather forecasts?
There is World Weather (GSP), which incorporates the National Weather Service. It has three global centers: Moscow, Washington and Melbourne.
