Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus
contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the

The nursing profession, just like any other profession, is bound by ethics, rules and regulations. The most pertinent legal and ethical issues revolve around getting the consent of the patient for any given treatment. However, when the patient is incapable of giving an informed and voluntary consent, the nurse may have to act in the best interests of the patient. This is applicable to both adults and children.

Life accords everyone an opportunity of living once; in this case, one ought to be careful of the choices taken. Many teenagers make wrong decision by leading a life of crime without the knowledge that every misdeed has a consequence. In some instances when the young commit serious crimes, they are subject to the Adult court and get the available punishment. This paper critically argues in favor of the adult court by exposing juveniles to life imprisonment or even prison without parole. Mccabe (2007) argue that in the current society, the crime rates continue to skyrocket and the minors

The Process of Spermatogenesis in the Male Testis

Spermatogenesis is an intricate process that involves mitotic cell division, meiosis, and its process. The regulation of spermatogenesis involves the endocrine and the paracrine mechanisms. The spermatogenesis endocrine stimulation involves the follicle stimulating hormones (FSH) and the luteinizing hormone. The luteinizing hormone acts through the intermediary testosterone that is produced by the leydig cells in the testis. A male fertility requires the production by the testis with large number of normal spermatozoa by spermatogenesis process. There are three major steps subdivided in the process; the mitosis, meiosis, and the transformation of the round spermatid. The multiplication of spermatogonia is

Background of the study

The vast lowland forests of central Africa host the western lowland gorilla, which is scientifically referred to as the ‘gorilla gorilla gorilla.’ This is the most widespread and common of the four distinct subspecies of gorillas. Accurate and reliable estimations of their numbers are so far not possible because these primates live in some of the most remote and densest parts of Africa’s rainforests (Berthelet & Chavaillon, 1993). Regardless the total population of these primates was approximated at 100000 individuals in 1980s and has been declining ever since then.
Golden lion tamarins are another group of the primate family.

Issue

The current law sets the driving age at sixteen years. The assumption is that at attaining the age of sixteen, persons have the mental capacity to undertake driving. It is assumed that the same persons would conduct themselves diligently and observe the traffic rules.

Rationale

There are reasons to believe that the age limit should be raised from the statutory sixteen years to eighteen years. It is believed that the two year difference would at least account for

Introduction

Juvenile offenders and minors have for some time suffered the failure of the justice system to have an elaborate program for trying minors. This has brought about confusion in the justice system to the extent that no clear framework exists for criminal justice for minors (Braswell, 2011). The essence of justice is to bring about the truth for the sake of bringing change in the society. Being found innocent or guilty, therefore, becomes an important aspect of the justice system. Therefore, it is important to note that owing to various factors surrounding this matter, the justice system is under

Disciplining children can at times be very challenging to parents especially when their child’s behavior is obnoxious. Parents and teachers should be more assertive while disciplining children between the ages of three to ten. Most parents would differ with this statement but children are to be disciplined in order to be raised properly in the society. A parent’s responsibility is to properly direct his/her child in a lifestyle that will lead him/her to mature into a disciplined adult. Parents should find an effective way of disciplining their children positively, and this will inhibit good behaviors in them.

Some would claim vehemently that of course age matters in any relationship, that it is one of the cornerstones of a successful and happy pairing. Others would counter with arguments that age is but a number, a means of passing the years that offers little to no bearing on the feelings that two people have for one another. There are those that actually prefer older partners, and those that prefer their relationships to form with younger participants, at a legal age of course.

The notion that teens should be tried as adults for the adult crimes they commit has taken root in the country with some state adopted legislation to that effect. While the proponents of trying teens as adults are passionate about the reasons why it should be done, studies have shown that trying teens as adults only breeds more hardcore criminals once the they complete their sentences. While I agree that justice must be seen to be done especially from the aggrieved party’s perspective, it is imperative upon the state to ensure that the justice system does not become

The ministry for adult faith formation within my parish has evolved over the years with transformations that reflect the basic needs of an adult faithful currently around the world (Huebsch Page 12-24). Even though the transformations have seen some developments in the approaches the ministry has used in its activities, much still remains to be desired in that most things are still pegged on the old age doctrines. I would rate my parish’s adult faith formation as a moderate one that has systematically avoided extreme stands in its approaches. It has been slow in embracing fast moving changes

Adult learning principles vary dramatically from pedagogic principles. The motivation for an adult to learn differs dramatically from that of a child. These differences were first highlighted by Malcolm Knowles who is also known as the father of adult learning. Adults’ learning motivation comes from an immediacy need directly linked to their everyday roles. An adult learner primarily looks at relevance in learning to improve on-job performance and behavior. The classic paradigm of pedagogic learning – learning by rote is not applicable in the case of adults. The predominant difference between and adult and

‘Stem cells’ is one of the widely discussed topics in recent years. Scientific progress led to the understanding the mechanism of stem cells and their use in therapeutic applications, which involve the treatment of cancer, diseases related to heart, brain and many others . Stem cells are a distinct type of cells, which are capable of regenerating themselves through the process of cell division. Under experimental conditions, stem cells have the ability to transform into tissue-specific or organ-specific cells. Since stem cells are unspecialized cells, they are capable of producing specialized cells through the process of differentiation . While embryonic stem

In this article, the argument employed about adolescence is constructive. According to (Schlegel, 15) adolescent is defined as a response to the reproductive capacity growth in a social context. During this stage, additional training and nurturing is very important prior to the person taking full responsibility of the roles of an adult both socially and occupationally. I like the argument that during this stage, an individual can accommodate training, but they cannot withstand the complex economic systems (Schlegel, 15). This article clearly illustrates the actual reasons behind the age groupings socially and the differentiation of roles in these groups.

Critique of E. B. White’s “Once More to the Lake”
White uses nostalgia in his comparisons of his memories as a boy and his experience as an adult in examination of the form of arrival – farm wagon vs. car; beverages at the local store – Coke vs. sarsaparilla; and boating on the lake – inboard vs. outboard motors. Throughout his remembrances however, White maintains a tone of guarded surprise that so many things remained the same, as they were when he had visited as a child. However, as the writer Epstein observes that a phrase “inexplicably sunny inclinations” as noted
