Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) belongs to cucurbitaceae; one of the most important plant families. It consists of 90 genera and 750 species. Most of the vegetables and certain fruits belong to this family. Cucumber is the fourth most cultivated vegetable in the world after cabbage‚ onions and tomatoes (Shetty and Wehner‚ 2002). China is at top of the list with almost 2/3 of all world production between 2000- 2004. Turkey is at the second place with approximately 5% of total production followed by

I chose to research earthquakes and the prediction of earthquakes because I was curious as to how they work. In this paper‚ I will discus the history of earthquakes‚ the kinds and locations of earthquakes‚ earthquake effects‚ intensity scales‚ prediction‚ and my own predictions. An earthquake can be defined as vibrations produced in the earth’s crust. Tectonic plates have friction between them which builds up as it tries to push away and suddenly ruptures and then rebounds. The vibrations

and can quickly establish networks tying disparate agencies together to enhance interoperability. Recent examples include the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in Manhattan‚ the 2003 North America blackout and Hurricane Katrina in September‚ 2005‚ where amateur radio was used to coordinate disaster relief activities when other systems failed. On September 2‚ 2004‚ ham radio was used to inform weather forecasters with information on Hurricane Frances live from the Bahamas. On December 26

without the missing data values and compare the results to the values reported in Figure 6.8. (b) Perhaps many quakes have missing magnitude values because they occurred before 1960‚ when seismic networks for measuring magnitudes were not yet common. Test this hypothesis and report what you find. (c) Examine the quake magnitudes on a map and propose an explanation for why the smaller quakes (magnitude less than 4) were included in the data set. (Hint: Use the query expression MAG > 0 AND MAG < 4

Haiti was struck with the most devastating quake they have ever seen in two hundred years‚ a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake. More than two hundred thousand people were killed by the quake‚ hundreds of thousands were injured and millions left homeless because of this major earthquake. Thousands of people also died from Cholera‚ an infection in
