The first law of Ecology states‚ “everything is connected.” Meaning each species depends on another species for survival. Humans for instance‚ depend on the survival of animals and plants to literally feed our ever growing population. Our diet comes down to small‚ overlooked organisms such as the honeybee. Without honeybees‚ the majority of fruits and vegetables would be diminished. Albert Einstein supposedly once said‚ "If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth‚ man would have no more

Essential Questions: How do the structures of organisms enable life’s functions? What happens to individuals within an ecosystem when the environment changes? Structures help organisms adapt to give them a better chance of survival. Structures could be many things. When you look at animals today you can see many things that give them advantages to survive in nature. A turtle is a great example because before they probably didn’t have shells or maybe softer shells. Ones with tougher shells are more

What Affects the Rate of Evaporation? Aim * To find out if changes in temperature‚ draught and surface area of water open to air affects the rate of evaporation through the water. * To safely check if these variables change the rate of evaporation * To complete all the experiments in the short period given Prediction * I believe that a raise in temperature will speed up the rate of evaporation in the water * I believe that a larger surface area will speed up the rate of evaporation

FICUS - Risk Factors and Assessment When assessing family members for likelihood of developing FICUS in the LTACH‚ risk factors are noted to be characteristic of the family member themselves‚ or acquired as a result of the stressors of having an ill family member. Although not much research exists in the development of FICUS in the LTACH‚ many of the risk factors that lead to FICUS in the ICU can be extrapolated to the LTACH environment. Demographic risk factors include female gender‚ patient age

Three Month Treasury Bills and The Variables That Affect the Rates Abstract This paper attempts to create two models that can predict fluctuations in three-month US Treasury Bill yields. Using both simple and multiple regression analysis‚ we analyze the independent variables traditionally associated with risk free U.S. money market interest rates including the Consumer Price Index‚ the Industrial Production Index‚ and the Unemployment rate over two periods‚ July 1990-March 2001 and March 2001-December
