Also termed as Girder Bridge a beam bridge is used to cover a maximum distance of 76 meters. If the distance is longer several girder bridges may be connected in a series to cover that distance, commonly known as continuous span (Xiang, et al, pg. 973).

Response to another student’s posting According to laurare8’s essay that was posted on the discussion posting platform on Saturday, 1 October 2016, government regulation of business does more harm than good. In most cases, business regulatory frameworks that are put in place by the government are supposed to foster the economic and social well being of the public at large. Despite that, regulation of business tends to create big governments with barriers to services and increases costs to businesses for compliance. In other words, various policies and business qualifications could prevent small and medium-sized business organizations from successfully entering the highly competitive market.  For instance, the tax and regulatory charges are usually higher than the expectations of these organizations. In the long run, this economy faces various challenges, thereby limiting the potential employment opportunities that could arise from small start-up enterprises.

Therefore, one of the most important initiatives of the liberal government is to…

In the fight against Zika, Ebola, and other conventional flues, biomedical expertise turn to the same molecular methodologies adopted in GMO crops to deduce protective medication. As a result of this technology, scientists have a quicker way of manufacturing a protective vaccine, studying new threats, and monitoring any eventuality of new outbreaks. GMOs are an organism with recombined DNA. Notably, when cells are inserted into another organism for study purposes, they are termed as recombined DNA. In the human body, Vaccine attaches themselves to the immune system enabling them to be more powerful and reactive to disease. A vaccine uses a pre-disposal mechanism to arm the body for war in case the threat pounce.
