Recommended Methods for Determining Soil Cation Exchange Capacity Donald S. Ross and Quirine Ketterings The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of a soil is a measure of the quantity of negatively charged sites on soil surfaces that can retain positively charged ions (cations) such as calcium (Ca2+)‚ magnesium (Mg2+)‚ and potassium (K+)‚ by electrostatic forces. Cations retained electrostatically are easily exchangeable with cations in the soil solution so a soil with a higher CEC has a greater capacity

Rutherford directed a narrow beam of α-particles‚ all of the same kinetic energy‚ in an evacuated container at a thin gold film‚ in order to identify the structure of an atom: The α-particles need to be of the same kinetic energy otherwise slow α-particles would be deflected more than faster α-particles on the same initial path. The container needs to be evacuated

Sackett (1996) father of evidence based medicine (EBM) defined EBM as the “conscientious‚ explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients”. EBM in practice means the integration of distinct clinical experience with the best available research evidence. Later on the revised definition was given by Masic “a systematic approach to clinical problem solving which allows the integration of the best available research evidence with clinical expertise

UNIT 1 – LESSON 2 NOTES Natural Selection and Evidence for Evolution: The mechanism for evolution is called Natural Selection to distinguish it from Artificial Selection. Evolution occurs at the population level because genetics don’t change. The frequencies of different genetic types (genotypes) within a population do change over time & can create new species. There is genetic variation in all populations; some individuals are successful at surviving and finding resources & produce
