By Helen Ying © 2013 Biology Notes – HSC Course 2013 MODULE 9.3 – BLUEPRINT OF LIFE 1. Outline the impact on the evolution of plants and animals of: a. Changes in physical conditions in the environment o Rising and falling sea levels – land and ice bridges across continents have affected distribution and therefore evolution when these bridges disappeared and populations were isolated from the main population. o Fossil evidence indicates mass extinctions resulting from changes in the physical environment e.g. dinosaur extinction from meteor. o Movement of continents. As Australia moved north, it became drier and plants and animals needed to adapt to these new conditions. b. Changes in chemical conditions in the environment o Original anoxic environment. As primitive organisms metabolised, carbon dioxide was released. Over millions of years, carbon dioxide accumulated and at some stage, organisms capable of using carbon dioxide in photosynthesis evolved and became dominant. Oxygen was then released as a product of photosynthesis, and oxygen-using organisms became dominant. c. Competition for resources o During the Cretaceous period, mammals were limited to the niches in which they originally evolved because the world was dominated by dinosaurs. When the dinosaurs died, the mammals were able to populate larger areas of the world as they had few competitors. As they populated these different areas, they evolved into new species to adapt to these new conditions. o Long-term competition usually results in one of the species dying out or evolution of one of the competing species so that they can occupy a different environment. Organisms alive today have all arisen from simpler organisms that existed millions of years ago. Evolution is the change in living organisms over many generations. Changes in the environment of living organisms can lead to the…
PROJECT MANAGEMENT IS AN IMPORTANT SKILL FOR TECHNICAL AND NONTECHNICAL MANAGERS TO HAVE. THE SKILLS AND PRACTICES OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT LEAD TO SUCCESS. EACH PROJECT IS A UNIQUE UNDERTAKING WITH SPECIFIC TASKS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED AND RESOURCES TO BE USED. EACH SUCCESSFUL PROJECT FOLLOWS A SET OF ITERATIVE STEPS FROM BEGINNING TO END, OFTEN CALLED THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE (PLC). THE STEPS INCLUDE INITIATING, PLANNING, EXECUTING, CONTROLLING, AND CLOSING.…

In the world we live in today, many centuries ago a huge movement started to erupt in the United States, which caused a sustainable increase in population through out time and still continues on this very day. That big movement was the immigration to the United States of America. In case anyone did not know the exact definition of immigration, it is the movement of a big group amount of people into another country or area to which they are not imprinted or inherited originally to. Out of all the millions of people who immigrated to the United States the majority of the newcomers came from specifically north and Western Europe.…

Project management is an important undertaking when it comes to the issue of implementing any projects may they be developmental, scientific or even technological. This is because in so far as the success of any project undertaking, there has to be a plan and a premeditated road map as the activities and measures that have to be taken into consideration when executing a project. Before delving into the full address of this essay, it is important to have some of the key words defined as they are used. Firstly, a project in general terms is a plan to design to promote the wellbeing of community. It is an undertaking by a person or a group of person with a view to address a certain challenge pertaining to the living condition of people in a given area.…
All companies are faced with completing projects, whether it is to make a product, complete a service or an outcome such as a research project. Project Management helps to ensure that the projects are done effectively and efficiently. Project management is the “application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to meet the project requirements.” (Project management body, 2008) There are 5 process groups associated including initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. Managing a project is complex, a Project manager needs to define and identify requirements, needs, concerns, and balance constraints such as recourses, schedules, budget and risks.…
A project management life cycle (PMLC) model is a sequence that is made up by the five process groups - Scoping, Planning, Launching, Monitoring & Control and Closing, and it’s used for achieving the goal of a project. In handling a project using a PMLC model, the entire process group must be present at least once in a sequence, and any or all of the process groups, may be repeated as required (Wysocki, 2009:299). To be analysed comparatively here are two different type of PMLC model- Adaptive PMLC model and Extreme PMLC model. An Adaptive PMLC model is an Agile Project Management (APM) model which consists of a number of phases that are repeated in cycles between the scoping and closing process groups, with a feedback loop after each cycle is completed. The sequence is: Plan cycle> Launch cycle>Monitor & Control cycle > Close cycle > Next cycle. Here, each cycle proceeds based on an incomplete and limited understanding of the solution. Extreme PMLC model consist of a sequence of repeated phases with each phase based on a very limited understanding of the goal and solution of a project. The sequence: Scope phase >Plan phase > Launch phase > Monitor & Control phase > Close phase > Next phase, is repeated severally in search of both goal and solution until client is satisfied or the budget or time is out. Here, each phase use the knowledge learnt from the preceding one to redirect the next phase towards an acceptable goal and solution.…
