The expected heterozygosity (He)‚ in average‚ was higher than the mean observed heterozygosity (Ho) for ‘Big Sister’ populations‚ and Ho higher than He for ‘Enfant Terrible’ (Table 3). Departure from Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium were significant at a 5% level (P<0.001) for only 3 populations (BANA‚ CAMP and ITAR). Based on the estimates of the inbreeding coefficient over all loci‚ the significant deviations were due to an excess of heterozygotes (negative GIS = more observed

The word ’fossil’ has been derived from the Latin word ’Fossilium’‚ which literally means anything dug out of the earth’. These are recognisable remains of once-living plants or animals‚ most of which have been extinct for many thousands of years. They were preserved in sediments‚ rocks and other materials such as ice‚ tar‚ amber etc. prior to historic times. Thus‚ the remnants of plants or animals of the past geologic ages preserved in the rocks of the earth’s crust by natural processes are known

Introduction Fossil Fuels are the most important energy sources in our world today. The overwhelming majority of the huge amount of energy used in the world comes from the burning of three major fossil fuels: coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy‚ and there is no other . They are formed over a very long period of time; the fossil fuels on earth today were formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago. These fossil fuels are found

THE DEPLETION OF FOSSIL FUELS By Zoe Noonan Introduction As the world is becoming more advanced in technology‚ more energy is being used to keep up with the changing requirements. At the current rate at which energy is being used‚ the world will shortly come to an end of fossil fuels- the world’s primary energy resource. Abstract This research paper outlines the problems being faced by the shortage of fossil fuels‚ the effects they are having on the environment and the possible substitutes

controversial. Some goes completely against what most think and against what people are taught even at organizations who train people to do predictive type jobs. But it works for me. Here are my ten guiding principles for accurate prediction: 1. Care about being right. This sounds obvious but circumstances and other requirements often get in the way. Professionals whose job involves making predictions face pressures to have an opinion‚ no matter what‚ and to generate visibility. This can lead

Without fossil fuels‚ the industrial revolution would not have had as much of an impact making United States what it is today. However‚ we as a country are facing very real problems that we must have to address quickly. We are running out of fossil fuels‚ and soon we will not have fossil fuels

one might think “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” What they should be thinking about is what got them into a near-death situation in the first place. Several years ago I had been working in Europe for more than 200 days straight. I was sick of the cold‚ dreary weather I was forced to endure day in and day out in the north of England. So when my friends suggested that I join them on vacation to go scuba diving in the Cayman Islands‚ I jumped at the chance to go. What I didn’t know at

Earthquake Prediction Earthquakes are one of the most destructive forces known to mankind. An earthquake can have enough power to destroy an entire city and has the potential to be felt 1000 miles away. An earthquake is a series of vibrations induced in the earth’s crust by the abrupt rupture and rebound of the rocks in which elastic strain has been slowly accumulating. Earthquakes happen along vault lines like the San Andres Fault. A fault plane is the surface of a fault fracture along which the
