such as red cod‚ spotty and kahawai challenge them. There are predators such as dolphins‚ sharks and also people. Their gas exchange system has to be efficient for them to be able to compete with those fish and escape from predators. Fish live in an acquatic environment. Water contains a less % 02 than the air so fish mush have a very efficient gas exchange system. This has prompted the development of the gill system. Air has 20% 02‚ water has much less. The gills are supported by the gill arch

Three or four layers of glass are one of the best because you have more airspace in between layers. A smaller airspace doesn’t insulate the building as well as a thicker airspace would. The thickest an airspace should be is 1 inch because any thicker than that will cause the glass of the window

Urban transport policy in Singapore is becoming more difficult to handle. In the early 1970s Singapore faced traffic chaos‚ a failing bus system‚ little money for infrastructure and acute awareness of space limitations. The answer was a hard-headed “bargain” that offered steady improvements in space-efficient public transport at the price of making ownership of space-wasting cars unattainable for most. This has been widely seen as a success However‚ both sides of this bargain are under growing
