10%) and the low annual reproductive rate of about every five years‚ suggests that anthropogenic activities affecting mortality may be more prevalent for right whale population growth than for any other whale species. Ship strikes and fishing gear entanglements are considered the main factors contributing to reduced growth and recovery of the right whale population. Data collected from 1970 through 1999 indicates that the anthropogenic activities (ship strikes and gear entanglements) is responsible

thought about the reasons why some private schools experience enrollment growth and why others decline? If you were developing a theory of school growth‚ what would you propose as the most important factors that influence enrollment growth? Based on my experiences in working with private‚ Christian and independent schools throughout the country‚ I believe that there are multiple factors that contribute to enrollment growth and decline at a school. Let me highlight some of these factors for you:

testing if phototropism affects pea plants. The purpose of this is to see how much the growth of the plant is affected by sunlight. Many years ago the scientist Charles Darwin discovered what today we called phototropism. I intend to create my own small experiment except this time I will be using artificial light instead of natural light (the sun). The definition of tropism is "a growth movement whose direction is determined by the direction from which the stimulus strikes the plant" and "photo" means

bless you! Cassien TWAGIRIMANA ABSTRACT The Irish potato is one of major food tuber crops grown in Rwanda. It plays a key role in food consumption‚ nutritional security and reduction of hunger. Potato plant like other tuber crops requires sufficient supply of several essential elements for proper growth and function. It is a gross feeder and exploiting greater volume of soil nutrients including nitrogen‚ phosphorous‚ potassium and water. Potato production has become very important in Rwanda in terms

different plants in our home and every one of them has different watering and fertilizer instructions‚ which need to be followed in order to make the plant grow and develop as safely as possible. Every plant has unique features and appearance‚ which makes them intriguing. Even the individuals from one specific species can differ in size and height. Because the characteristics of every plant are unique and exceptional‚ they are very interesting topic to investigate. My mother’s excitement for plants also

Data Analysis Does radiation affect the growth of seeds? If‚ plant seeds are exposed to microwave radiation‚ then the seeds will grow less than how a seed is usually grown. The independent variable was the amount of microwave radiation the seeds receive. The dependent variable was the growth of the plant seeds. Control variables were the amount of water (30 mL at a time)‚ the amount of light (11 hours each day)‚ and the amount of seeds. The control group was the non-microwaved seeds. The experimental

Hypothesis: If the bean plants are exposed in the presence of gasoline fumes for a longer period of time‚ then the plants will die more quickly. Procedures: 1. Place ten bean plants in each of five Rubbermaid clear plastic containers. 2. Let the bean plants sit for one week without being manipulated. 3. Leave the first container alone without manipulation.

An experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Farm‚ Bangladesh Agricultural University‚ Mymensingh during 1998-99 growing season to study the effect of nitrogen and plant spacing on the growth and yield of potato (var. Diamant). Different nitrogen levels viz. 0‚ 127.0‚ 190.5 and 254.0 kg N/ha significantly influenced plant height‚ foliage coverage‚ number of main stem per hill‚ days required for 80% maturity of the crop‚ fresh weight of haulm (g/hill)‚ number of tubers per hill‚ weight of tubers
