...containing one or two shells with a few exceptions. They are soft-bodied bilaterally symmetrical animals with organs present in a fluid-filled cavity hence soft bodied referring to word mollusc (latin). Classification of the Molluscs has major turmoil of instability in the Animal Kingdom. Since, most of the resources and text books use old system of classification, and that is stable, easy to recognize, and complies with Cambridge Zoology Museum, so we are adapting that very system for their identification. Habitat of Molluscs Molluscs occupy mostly marine and moist environments that are why some of them have rudiments of amphibians they kept along during the evolutionary attempts. Some of the gastropods however, dwell in the freshwater also. Others occupy the bottoms of lakes depending on their feeding habits. Some of the molluscs reach the terrestrial environments e.g. snails and slugs. Habitat of the shells typically affect their adaptive structural formation and hence identification. The lines of the shells are dependent upon the tidal emersions. Also, the internal tidal indications of the structure indicate micro-growth line formation in molluscs from sub-tidal areas (Mirzaei et al., 2014). Classfication of the molluscs has classicaly been associated with the structure of the radula or structure of the shell. Within the phylum Mollusca, there are seven classes (Barnes et al., 1993); viz Aplacophora – solenogastrids and caudofoveates (without shells); Cephalopoda – octopi...

...The Effectiveness of Using Mussel Shells as an Alternative Ingredient in Making Bricks Chapter I ABSTRACT Waste management has been a problem since then because lots of wastes are not used efficiently- needing the people to make a move to convert these wastes into useful things. Thus, this study is undertaken to contribute to the ideas of waste management programs and to find out the effectiveness of mussel shells as an alternative material in making bricks. This study intends to make eco-friendly and affordable bricks by combining the powdered mussel shells, sand and cement with an appropriate ratios. A series of experiments were conducted to study the effect of using mussel shells on the compressive strength and percentage of water absorption of the bricks. The bricks were tested at the construction materials testing center and it proved that the bricks can hold enough strength and can absorb much water. It showed that the sample 1 (3tahong:1cement) has a compressive strength of 3.75MPa which means it is considered as a non structural brick and it has a percentage of water absorption of 13.02%. Since using mussel shell as a component in making bricks will only produce a non structural brick, the researchers conducted another set of samples. Sample 2 can carry more loads 325kN than the two other samples 3 and 4, 275kN and 115kN but sample 2 can absorb more water 19.26% than the other two, 15.7%.

...Marketing-Segmentation analysis of Shell Shell Oil Products Company succeeded in building its new brand image to increase retail marketing revenues.In this case analysis, we will use STP to analyze Shell’s sucessful marketing strategy. 1. Segmentation Oil station market consists of buyers who differ in one or more ways, so Shell need first segment its potential consumer market. There are several major variables that can be used in segmenting consumer markets, including geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral variables. In this case, SOPC used the latter two variables to segment its market. It chose “personality” and “benefit” as its segmentation criteria, of which the former belongs to psychographic segmentation and the latter belongs to behavioral segmentation. * Why to choose these two criteria? According to the requirements for effective segmentation, SOPC has to make sure that its market segments are measurable, accessible, substantial, differentiable, and actionable. The requirement of differentiable market segments means that the segments are conceptually distinguishable and respond differently to different marketing mix elements and programs. Neither geographic segmentation nor demographic segmentation can be effective, because those criteria do not affect Shell’s customers’ attitude of stopping their automobiles at gasoline stations. That’s why SOPC aimed at customer needs and chose personality and benefit as segmentation criteria. We can...

...experience and its translation into words suggesting an experience of great intensity. The setting is an old Boche dug-out’ which a party of English troops has taken, but not without being seen: consequently, it comes under enemy fire, ‘shell on frantic shell’ pounding its position. The co-opted dug-out is a ‘hell’ on earth, not only because of the artillery bombardment, but also because of the bad weather. It is raining heavily: into the dug-out pour ‘waterfalls of slime’ with the result that the men stand in ‘slush waist-high’ and cannot climb out. The first line “We'd found an old Boche dug-out, and he knew,” owen uses “he” as a derogatory term for all the soldiers of the opposition. This line is also an enjambment as the first line and its thought continues to the next line. The second and third line describe the “shells” or bombs “And gave us hell, for shell on frantic shell Hammered on top, but never quite burst through” – here owen describes how the shells never penetrated into the place they were, but the shells were close. He also uses a figure of speech, namely personification, to describe the shells as frantic. The words “hell” and shell” in the second line have an internal rhyming. And the repition of the word shell tells the readers that the bombing was one after the other. The next to lines tells the readers how the bad weather adds on to the soldiers misery, how even nature was not on their side now. “waterfall made of slime” is an oxymoron because...

...Research Analysis RES 351 Research Analysis Bringing Research to life questions: 1. What evidence is presented that shows effort was made to understand the management dilemma? The evidence presented that shows effort was made to understand the management dilemma was the probing questions that have been stated by Jason during the discussion between Myra and Jason. Jason plans on asking questions and listening to discover what the facts management has gathered thus far, what the problem is from at their point of view, as well as what the problem really is at various levels of abstraction. In all, these probing questions will help with identifying and understanding the management dilemma. 2. Identify and classify all of the variables in the U.S. Army’s dud shell research. The variables within the U.S. Army dud shell research are the cannon shells (the exploded and unexploded), civilians (locals), their behaviors, including the death rates. All of these variables played a vital role within the research that allowed the testing site to come up with an alternative testing procedures with different time frames of testing the cannon shells that have been placed for the original procedures. 3. What was Myra’s hypothesis for the U.S. Army’s dud shell research? Based on the research Myra conducted, her hypothesis was to apply logic instead of agreeing for an educational campaign. Her research took the attitudes and behaviors of the local civilians because...

...Comparative Analysis Isolation is not Happiness Who would want to be isolated from the world and not have anyone there to experience life’s course? Chris McCandless and the shell collector lived a life of solitude because they didn’t want to face life’s challenges as they were. They were selfish and had no reason to excommunicate themselves from the people who truly loved and cared for them. They soon came to realize that isolating themselves from humanity wasn’t the way to go about in life. But their realization came too late and neither of them got a chance to tell their loved ones how they felt. Jon Krakauer’s national bestselling novel, Into the Wild, and Anthony Doerr’s short story of, “The Shell Collector” have a similar theme in the characterization of the protagonist, in the purpose of isolation, and in the realization of needing people in the end. The protagonist, Chris McCandless, from Into the Wild, never had a stationary lifestyle because he was always moving from place to place. He was a very nomadic person because he loved to explore nature and he did in a way that made him travel to different parts of the United States. Chris didn’t have just one way of getting around, he often hitchhiked, walked, or hopped on a train in hopes of not getting caught (Krakauer, p. 32-37). His way of living consisted of sleeping in the street, making friends at a trailer park, or finding a scenic area where he could settle in for a couple days. He never spent more than a few...

...Author, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, in her autobiographical work, “Moon Shell” utilizes figurative language and selection of detail to develop her argument on solitude. Lindbergh opens her work by setting the stage with a detailed illustration describing the Moon shell’s beauty. Beginning with the Moon shell’s physical appearance, Lindbergh paints the readers “a snail shell, round, full and glossy as a horse chestnut” and draws the reader’s attention to “its smooth, symmetrical face” which is “pencilled with precision a perfect spiral.”(Lindbergh Para. 1) Through the comparison of the shell’s “glossy” surface to that of a “horse chestnut” Lindbergh corresponds with the reader’s sense to provide a clear vivid image of the shell.
