In response‚ the British dedicated a section of Ordnance Examiners from the Royal Army Ordnance Corps to handle the growing problem. In 1918‚ the Germans developed delayed-action fuzes that would later develop into more sophisticated versions during the 1930s

#2) Both Winner and Joy explore the issue of technology and control. How would you compare their two views of current technological development? Focus the comparison on a specific technology‚ such as genetically modified organisms. Technology is always in need of control. You cannot have a world that technology is in control such as the movie Terminator‚ where technology takes over. Just like human beings there is always a need for control.

The importance of carbohydrates in living organisms Carbohydrates contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1.2.1.. There are many different types of carbohydrate‚ all of which are useful to living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is probable glucose. Glucose is a monosaccharide and is the monomer unit which makes up more complex polysaccharides. Two glucose molecules can be joined in a condensation reaction‚ whereby water is removed‚ for example to produce maltose‚ a disaccharide
