Management of food waste

Over a period of a few decades, humans have changed food from a scarce resource into a mass production cycle around the world. During the 1800s you’d have to grow your own crops, and clean them they would live off this food for the day, weeks. Now, with farmers, our lives have become much more … Read more

Natural variation in environmental factors during embryonic development

A new study by Siviter et al ¹ is one of its first to represent data showing the natural variation in environmental factors during embryonic development, and how it may impact upon the development of behavioural traits during the ontogeny of oviparous reptiles.  Behavioural traits are often the first characteristic for an individual to alter … Read more

The Transmission of Chronic Wasting Disease

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a prion disease that affects all members of the Cervidae family. The disease, CWD, affects the nervous system and is a fatal neurodegenerative disease. During the course of infection, CWD prions accumulate in the central nervous system. This accumulation of infected prions in the body causes tissue damage which leads … Read more

The estimation of vapour pressure using a quasi-static method at high temperatures.

Abstract The vapour pressures of six different elements – indium (ln), silver (Ag), gallium (Ga), copper (Cu), tin (Sn) and gold (Au) – were compared according to a quasi-static method of measuring vapour pressures. This study was undertaken to determine if these six metals have different chemical properties, which could affect the boiling point of … Read more

Variation in haematological and biochemical profiles of F1 generation of Heterobranchus longifilis by growth

Abstract This research aimed at assessing variation in haematological and biochemical profiles of F1 generation of Heterobranchus longifilis by growth. The juveniles were classified based on the total length of the individual fish at 8th week post-hatch according to their growth rates into “shooters” (> 15.5cm), “averages” and “runs” (< 12.5cm).  Haematological analysis was carried … Read more

Relationship between insecta class and bats & adaptations due to natural selection

Objectives: The purpose of this research is to better understand the relationship between the insecta class and bats and their many adaptations due to natural selection. Rationale: In a recent study, Lee A. Miller and AnneMarie Surlykke have found that most insects are changing the way they sound in order to stay clear of the … Read more
