OPTIMAL USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES: A STEP TOWARDS MEETING THE ENVIRONMENTAL MDGS According to Angelsen‚ et.al (1998)‚ there exist a two-way relationship between poverty and environment in the developing countries which is referred to as the Environmental-Poverty Nexus. Poverty causes environmental degradation‚ and in turn‚ the degradations in environment exacerbate poverty. As such‚ the more visible environmental problems are mostly associated with regenerative resources‚ which are in constant danger

Soft engineering works in harmony with the natural environment and is effective in protecting the coast. To what extent do you agree with this view? I agree with this view to a great extent. Soft engineering methods are natural ways of dealing with erosion‚ however‚ every method comes with disadvantages. One way in which soft engineering working well with the natural environment and is also effective‚ is beach nourishment. This is where materials such as sand and shingle are moved from the bed

prove the law and based on the past experiences‚ my sense perception rarely lies to me ergo I accepted something that I did not believe in natural science because of my faith in the sense perception. Also‚ as an IB natural science student‚ I knew that there is a very strict systematic methodology (observation‚ hypothesis‚ experiment‚ law‚ and theory) in natural science. If some scientist wants to find a theory form his or her observation then he or she needs to follow the methodology precisely so

A major factor is the blockage of feed metal flow which result in micro-porosity or voids in the solid casting. These voids add up to produce a centerline shrinkage. FEEDING Feeding covers methods adopted to produce castings without shrinkage defects. In the case of solid solution alloys like steel

Humans in technology environment are not very free from natural selection. According to Charles Darwin‚ natural selection acts only for the good of each organism‚ so since our very first human ancestors had no natural defenses‚ they would die from what is considered today an insignificant disease. It was throughout millions of years‚ that the human body started to build an immunization to certain diseases and only the stronger humans were the ones to survive and carry on that trait. Likewise‚ having

how the process of natural selection and sexual selection are thought to have contributed to modern-day human behaviour. Lifestyle and behaviours of early humans would have been considerably different to that of modern day humans; however this is not an aspect that happened overnight but something that has taken thousands of years to develop. This aim of this essay therefore will be to explain‚ with examples‚ how human behaviour has evolved over time through the aspect of natural and sexual selection

Hundreds are dead after the worst earthquake in generations struck off the northeast coast of Japan on 11th March‚ setting off a devastating tsunami that swallowed swaths of coastal territory and fanned out across the Pacific Ocean‚ threatening everything in its path. The 8.9-magnitude earthquake -- the fifth-largest in the world since 1900 and the biggest in Japan in 140 years -- struck at 2:46 p.m. local time‚ shaking buildings violently in Tokyo for several minutes and sending millions fleeing
