Adolescents are a transitional stage of physical and physiological development that occurs between puberty and legal adulthood.1 It is a period of multiple transitions involving education‚ training‚ employment and unemployment‚ as well as transition from one living circumstance to another.2 The behavioral patterns during these periods determine their health status and their risks for developing chronic diseases in adulthood.3 Adolescents are generally healthy but several important public health and

major changes in decision-making‚ responsibilities‚ and behaviors. It appears there are gender differences between males and females‚ as females appear to go through the major transitions to adulthood at a younger age and leave home faster than men (Holloway‚ 2010).

Transition Metals 1a) The d-orbitals of a free transition metal atom or ion are degenerate (all have the same energy.) However‚ when transition metals form coordination complexes‚ the d-orbitals of the metal interact with the electron cloud of the ligands in such a manner that the d-orbitals become non-degenerate (not all having the same energy.) The way in which the orbitals are split into different energy levels is dependent on the geometry of the complex. Crystal field theory can be used to predict

Bridge Failure Studies and Safety Engineering 2.1 HISTORY OF DISASTERS AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT 2.1.1 Unexpected Material Deterioration and Failure Engineering is usually about avoiding failures and investigating why failures occur and ways to fix the problem. There is a need to understand the conditions giving rise to past failures and ways to avoid such failures so that loss of life can be minimized.
