The video talks about global warming and how it affects climate change. Oceanographer Josh Willis sheds light on how billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are emitted to the atmosphere leading to global warming. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause extra heat on earth. The extra heat is supposed to go out of space, but it remains in the atmosphere. The trapped heat, therefore, warms the planet. The trapped heat on earth also affects the oceans. Willis further argues that most of the trapped heat on earth, which is about 80 to 90 percent goes to the oceans. The reason for this is that the ocean can absorb 1000 times the heat as the atmosphere. It can achieve this without changing much of its temperature. The ocean can achieve the high absorption of heat through its high heat capacity. The video consequently portrays a demonstration of the high heat capacity characteristic of the ocean in comparison to the low heat capacity of the atmosphere through an experiment. Willis places a lighter representing the sun near…
A tale LONG time ago in Tasikmalaya, West Java, lived a young couple. They were farmers. They lived happily with their baby. The couple also had some animals. One of them was a tiger. When the couple went to work in the paddy field, the tiger looked after their baby. As usual, the couple went to the paddy field. Before they left, they asked the tiger to look after their baby. “We will go to the field now. Look after our baby, okay?” The tiger nodded. So, the couple went to the field. They worked from morning until afternoon. When the couple arrived home, the tiger welcomed them. The tiger acted differently. He wagged his tail and rubbed his body to the couple’s legs. He looked very happy. The husband became suspicious. “Why does this tiger behave strangely? He does not act as usual,” he thought. The husband looked at the tiger carefully. He was shocked. The tiger’s mouth was full of blood. Then he remembered his baby. He thought the tiger had eaten the baby. “Why is your mouth…
Garbage Garbage has been discarded into the oceans for as long as humans have sailed the seven seas or lived on seashores or near waterways flowing into the sea. Since the 1940s, plastic use has increased dramatically, resulting in a huge quantity of nearly indestructible, lightweight material floating in the oceans and eventually deposited on beaches worldwide. As the graph shows, trash items encompass a variety of materials. Sources of marine debris include: Items that are brought to the beach and left there by beachgoers; Garbage deliberately or accidentally discarded by ships at sea or from offshore oil platforms; and Material carried to sea by rivers and estuaries , especially from large coastal cities. City storm sewers are a significant source of solid waste entering the sea from land sources. Effects on Wildlife Aside from its unsightly appearance and potential impact to human health, marine debris has harmful effects on wildlife. Fish, birds, marine mammals, reptiles, and other animals can become entangled in discarded or lost nets that continue to do what they were designed to do—catch living animals—but now…

Cognition Cognitive control prioritizes information that reaches conscious awareness while constraining mental operations. It is essential for flexible and adaptive behavior in a condition of uncertainty. There are two modes of thinking proposed by psychologists Richard West and Keith Stanovich (Stanovich & West, 2008). The first system operates quickly and automatically, uses little or zero effect, and is involuntary. The second system gives attention to mental activities that require effort, such as complex computations. The first task that required drawing four straight lines to join four dots in a square matrix required more concentration and strategy to complete the job. I failed the assignment due to the assumption that the dots provided the boundaries of where the lines should start. The ‘Stroop Effect’ test required one to name the colors, not the words. The first test was easy as the terms represented the colors used. The first test used the first system proposed by West and Stanovich in the modes of thinking. The second ‘Stroop Effect’ test, however, took 49 seconds to complete and required more attention as the…
Is it ethical to use animals in scientific research? INTRODUCTION Each year animals suffer as scientists exploit them in biological experiments concerning medical value for human health values. Animals are used in the development of vaccines and pharmaceuticals as demanded in clinical ethics. Besides, animals are exploited in ultimate biomedical research. The biomedical research business is overwhelmingly growing in size even though the accumulated profits and financial gains are minimal. Animal experiments have led to advanced knowledge of human and animal health and diseases. Discovery of the medicinal value of insulin, antibiotics, organ transplant, and vaccines have been made through researching animal specimens. Experimenting animals in laboratories and research centers have restored hope to many suffering cancer, heart failure, and other diseases. Alternative research methods fail to stimulate humans and the whole body the same way animal research extracts do and, therefore, not reliable. Diseases such as cystic fibrosis and asthma involve complex physiological processes that are only possible through research on a living animal. It is very ethical and legal to test the medicinal value of a particular drug…
Information to Finding an Animal Hospital Keeping a pet comes with its challenges. This is because they also need medical care for better health. If you have an animal in your home, you must make sure that you have contacts from a well-known animal hospital. It is good always to take your pet to be checked of any disease. There are so many health conditions that affect animals, and you may not know if you are not a professional. And because of this, you always need to take your pet to a specialist to be checked for any disease. Some animal diseases do not show at the early stages, and that is why visiting a veterinary frequently comes with its benefits. If you visit the best animal hospital, you are sure that your pet will be diagnosed with any mental condition, physical condition, age, and any other health requirement. With the right animal hospital, you will also be taught how to take care of your pet in a healthier way. You w0ill also be taught more on nutritional value and…
Mojave desert Mojave desert is the driest desert in North America, located in the south-western part of North America. It is found between Southern Nevada and South Eastern California and lies on one hundred and twenty-four thousand kilometers square. Some of the Mojave deserts extend towards Arizona and Utah. It borders on Colorado plateau to the East, the Great Basin Desert to the North, Sonoran, and Colorado deserts to the South. Other topographical boundaries include; Inyo and Sierra Nevada mountains in Northwest, Sierra Pelona Ridge and Tehachapi Mountains to the West, San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains to the South. Two rivers run across it; Mojave and Colorado. The boundaries created are distinctly outlined by two California faults- Garlock and San Andreas. It is within (35° 0.5’N, 115° 28.5’W) longitudinal and latitudinal measures. Mojave desert shows regular basin and range topographical outlines. In this study, I intend to discuss Mojave basin and range, climatic conditions, characteristics of organisms that exist there and summarized ecological research. The Mojave Desert experiences below fifty-one millimeters of rain annually and is between two thousand…
anatomically modern human In order to comprehend the extraordinary dynamism of human life, studies have to be carried out that depend upon qualitative observation and months of patients. In short, the study is known as anthropology, and it utilises a broad approach to offer insights into the human experience. It considers aspects of the past- to investigate how the groups lived- the make of the human body, bone, health and diet. Through the study, humans are seen to have developed from non-extinct primates. There is adequate fossils to indicate humans, homo sapiens, were preceded by other hominids like Australopithecus and Neanderthals. Homo sapiens are also known as modern humans, however, the only living subspecies is homo sapien sapien (humans). From these phrase, anatomically modern humans ia coined which means archaic humans who show phenotypic similarities with the homo sapiens. Therefore, the present paper will review a current news article that talks about anatomically modern humans who have existed in the past 75,000 years. The article to be reviewed is published in Mail Online, a subsidiary entity of DMG media. The…
A WEEKEND IN THE DESERT “That looks fantastic. Is that where we are going?” “Oh, yes. It is one of the most recommended sites while in Dubai to go with family and friends”, dad remarks at Gary. Jenny tells everyone that their relatives are downstairs. They all cannot wait to see the other side of the family. It has been a long time since they last saw each other. Uncle Brody is in the company of cousins Tim and Tony as well as auntie Phoebe. They all greet each other and head out for lunch at the lounge area. “Now, what rides are we going on?” “All of them!” shouts Matt as he struggles to speak with a mouthful. Everyone at the table giggles sarcastically. Aunt Phoebe reminds Matt that there are thirty rides on the theme park. The sun gently scorches most of the beachfront, and everyone is ready for a tan. “What is the place called anyways?” “The Wild Wadi, Jenny. Use your eyes,” Gary retorts while shoving the pamphlet in her face. The service is impeccable. Everyone…
