Abstract Understanding evolution helps us solve biological problems that impact our lives. There are excellent examples of this in the field of medicine. To stay one step ahead of pathogenic diseases, researchers must understand the evolutionary patterns of disease-causing organisms. To control hereditary diseases in people, researchers study the evolutionary histories of the disease-causing genes. In these ways, knowledge of evolution can improve the quality of human life. Evolution played an

Case Study: Midas BUS 644 Operations Management Dr. Snell May 19, 2014 Case Study: Midas Specialization is a two-edged sword. When an organization specializes, they become experts in a particular process, product, or operation. In exchange for this deeper knowledge and ability in one factor, the organization typically suffers a loss of width in the marketplace therein reducing their potential customer base. Efficiencies should certainly be derived from this specialization and with efficiency

chlorine incorporation. This is because HOBr is 20 times stronger oxidant than HOCl so reacts faster with NOM shifting the distribution of THMs and HAAs to more brominated species. Ratio of applied chlorine to bromine plays an important role in the speciation of THMs and HAAs (Uyak & Toroz, 2007). Increase in bromide ion concentration first results in the formation of mixed choro-bromo species to fully brominated ones (Hua et al., 2006). It has been reported that brominated DBPs so formed are more carcinogenic

Introduction to Air Pollution: Air pollution is the presence of foreign substances (pollutants) in the atmosphere, emitted by industries and motor vehicles that cause damage to living organisms. Air pollution is the leading cause of several diseases. During the past few years, air pollution has emerged as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Air Pollutants: Air Pollutants refer to the liquids, solids and gases that are not normal constituents of air. Presence of such substances beyond tolerable

The SEM micrographs of chitosan, Ca-bentonite and Ca-bentonite/chitosan composite were taken at 3000 magnification showed on Figure 2. These image illustrated that surface of chitosan tight and porous and after forming composite with Ca-bentonite appeared that coverage of Ca-bentonite by chitosan. Elemental identification of surface features were performed by EDX listed in table 2. Fig. 2. SEM micrograph of samples (a) chitosan, (b) bentonite and (c) Ca-bentonite/chitosan composite

Lifespan and longevity are hallmark to the existence of species. Life history, which lifespan and longevity spawn from, is the basis for species to exist and a necessity for evolution to happen (Carey et al. 2001:411-412). With regards to the importance of paleodietary shift within the hominin lineage, it is imperative to understand that diet has had a lasting influence to longevity and lifespan within the genus Homo. Why do modern humans have such high life expectancies compared to their ancestors
