The breath-taking scenery of valleys and Truffula trees in the widely loved book The Lorax sends a timely message to both kids and adults today. A simple message, yet a powerful onethe importance of protecting our natural environment. The book creatively explores the dangers of...

Through the process of natural selection, the life on our planet evolved. Natural selection dictated that in order for us, as living organisms, to survive, we had to adapt and coexist. In today’s world six different kingdoms of life are living together. In many cases,...

What is a cave? A cave is an underground hollow place large enough for a human to enter. The formation and development of caves are known as speleogenesis, which can occur over the course of millions of years. Caves are formed by various geologic processes...

Trophic level is a feeding positions in a web or food chain of the ecosystem or step in a nutritive series. Group of organisms classified into these levels on the basis of their feeding behavior and generally aquatic ecosystem have not more than seven trophic...

Ecology is a scientific study of interaction between organisms and their physical environment. It includes both biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic factors are all of the living organisms within an ecosystem such as plants, animal and any other living things. Abiotic factors are all of...

The ethylene hormone found in Arabidopsis thaliana binds to a receptor complex at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The hormone ethylene acts as a ligand, triggering a physical change to the membrane proteins in the complex. This will either stimulate or inhibit phosphorylation (a phosphate is...

A theory that reviews the different environmental factors is the Social Learning Theory. This was created by Bandura and reviews the type of impact the environment has upon behaviour. Bandura believed characteristic traits do not impact behaviour and is dependent on the environment they are...

An element of the paradigm of the Grande Coupure was the apparent extinction of all European primates at the Coupure: the recent discovery (Kohler and Moya-Sola 1999) of a mouse-sized early Oligocene omomyid, reflecting the better survival chances of small mammals, further undercut the Grand...

The Uplift of the Lithosphereas Andy Saunders et al. critically review the geological evidence for regional uplift in five continental flood basalt provinces (Emeishan Traps, North Atlantic, Deccan Traps, Siberian Traps, Yellowstone) as case study. Each of these five provinces are associated with surface uplift....

Introduction As consumption levels continue to grow, so does the environmental degradation it causes. In order to maintain a liveable environment, environmental sustainability must be a primary focus in the coming years. Cities such as Toronto, Ontario, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Vancouver, British Columbia have...

Description An igneous rock formed by subterranean crystallized magma, Diorite is composed of plagioclase feldspar, quartz, hornblende, pyroxene and biotite. Varieties that lack hornblende are referred to as “leucodiorite”. The color of diorite varies from grey to dark grey to black, speckled with lighter colors...

A wetland is a distinct ecosystem that is inundated by water, either forever or regularly, where sans oxygen forms prevail. The essential factor that recognizes wetlands from other land structures or water bodies is the characteristic vegetation of aquatic plants, adapted to the unique hydric...

Application of lignocellulosic material, after structural modification to form composite materials for the uptake of organic pollutants from textile effluents. The emphasis will be placed on developing affinity membrane based composites with selectivity toward a wide range of organic pollutants. Many of the modified cellulose...

In the last few decades, several man-made unsustainable activities and interventions have accelerated the problems related to shelter, environment, food, health, society, culture and working pattern. These problem-areas are also associated, linked and guided mainly with lifestyles and livelihoods. Appropriate lifestyles and livelihoods can help...

The tragedy of the commons addressed by Garrett Hardin in 1968, was explained through the notion of the human condition in which individuals tend to overconsume on common limited resources for their overall maximum gain which results into unsustainability and the destruction of the commonly...

In today’s health-conscious world, people are constantly looking for simple ways to eat a little healthier. Green juices and shakes are a great way to do that withoutsacrificing flavor or committing yourself to a restrictive diet. As a matter of fact, once youget the hang...

Nature is precious it gives us more than we ask for free and is meant to better everyone by giving people food and conducive air when out in the shade. This essay will cover the benefits of being surrounded by nature especially to those living...

There are three different types of rocks based on the way they form. Most of the time, they are very easy to tell apart. All three of these rocks come from the rock cycle. These rocks are called Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary rocks. These rocks...

Earth’s magnetic field, albeit generated approximately 2,000 miles below the surface, protects the planet’s atmosphere from space radiation and solar wind. It is essential, then, for life. The strength of the magnetic field, though, is rapidly decreasing; in the past 300 years alone, its strength...

According to the Columbus State Community College (CSCC), geography is an integrative discipline that brings together the physical and human dimensions of the world in the study of people, places and the environments. Its subject matter is the earth’s surface and the processes that shape...

The rapid, eco-friendly, non-pathogenic, economical protocol of using plant to produce silver nanoparticles has drawn the attention of the scientist because of providing a single step technique for the processes of biosynthesis method. Combining of biomolecules such as proteins, enzymes, polysaccharides, alkaloids, amino acids, tannings,...

Binders are pharmaceutical excipients that are commonly employed in tablet formulation to exert cohesion on the powder mix which there by improves the flow properties on the granules. The quantity of binder used has considerable influence on the characteristics of the compressed tablets. The wet...

Ecological efficiency describes the efficiency with which energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. It is determined by a combination of efficiencies relating to organismic resource acquisition and assimilation in an ecosystem. An aquatic ecosystem is an ecosystem that is water based....

Chromium is a lustrous, brittle, hard metal. Its colour is silver-gray and it can be highly polished. It does not tarnish in air, when heated it burns and forms the green chromic oxide. Chromium is unstable in oxygen. Chromium main uses are in alloys such...

The present study reports an eco-friendly, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous flower extract of Cassia angustifolia (Ca-AgNPs) for the first time. Preliminarily the synthesis of Ca-AgNPs from the flower extract was visually confirmed by color change. Further, synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible...

Calliandra calothyrsus known also as calliandra, is a legume forage belonging to the family of fabaceae. Native to the humid and subhumid regions of Central America and Mexico, calliandra was introduced into many other tropical countries, particularly in South-East Asia and Africa (Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya,...
