moist soil‚ after which a seed-root that anchors the plant to the ground emerges. The heat of the summer facilitates the growth of Aloe vera by stimulating the development of a rosette of fleshy leaves rich in jellylike pulp‚ as well as sap that grows. The plant reaches maturity at the height of about approximately 24 inches. Depending on the climate of the region in which this plant grows‚ a mature aloe plant sends a flower spike from the center of its rosette of leaves‚ which it is then pollinated

Combining genes from different species is known as recombinant DNA technology‚ and the outcome organism is known as genetically modified. Now the question lies‚ is genetically modified organisms needed to suppress hunger? In my opinion

Several weaknesses of paper-based medical records have been identified‚ such as illegible handwriting‚ ambiguous and incomplete data‚ data fragmentation‚ and poor availability.1 In addition‚ paper records often become bulky with time‚ which leads to lack of overview. Because paper records still represent the usual medium for collecting and recording patient data‚ these weaknesses could impede the continuity and quality of care. Allow for all medical offices to send‚ receive‚ and share data & resources

The Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) depicts a conceptual data model that incorporates some of the important scientific information about the real world. It adopts a natural view that the real world consists of entities and relations (Chen‚ 1976). One objective of the ERD is to create a simple‚ easy to understand and conveniently presented data model consisting of entities‚ attributes‚ relationships and cardinalities. The model serves as tool for database design‚ where the model can facilitate communication
