The interrelationship between modernity and globalization The rurality-modernity encounter in village India is taking place under the canopy of parliamentary democracy which the consembly adopted‚ in preference to Gandhian advocacy of Panchayat-based self-government‚ but its isocratic architecture tilts the power-balance towards the villages which seem to have defied the global mega-trend of ‘developmental de-ruralization’. The British colonialism is the vital player in the history of India’s

Question 2 a.) Rubisco is a key component in photosynthesis. It is an enzyme involved in the fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide. b.) Due to global warming‚ the increased temperature can influence Rubisco which can catalyses oxygenation over carboxylation. During carboxylation CO2 is fixed and raised temperature enhancing oxygenation. c.) Level of PGA depends on Rubisco with who is going to bind. Rubisco is an enzyme that reacts with CO2 and O2. The reaction with O2 competes with carboxylation

Biology – Assignment One Cells. Question One Explain the roles of the main components and features of a cell to the cell function. A typical animal cell is rounded in shape‚ surrounded by a cell membrane. This holds in the cytoplasm‚ which contains other structures such as the nucleus‚ ribosomes‚ and mitochondria. Each cell has tiny structures inside called organelles; each type of organelle performs a particular function. For example there are mitochondria (power stations)‚ ribosomes (protein

WHAT IS AN ADJOINT MODEL? The article begins by going into the history of the use of adjoints in meteorology. Adjoints are considered by many meteorologists to be powerful modeling tools. Sensitivities are a concern of many research meteorologists‚ and questions surrounding them require estimations of how synoptic features will change (in the modeling) if perturbations are made. In sensitivity analysis‚ many methods are at work‚ but the basic one (as stated above) is that people look back
