1: The definition of marine protected area varies with people‚ and in reality‚ it is a term used globally to describe an area of sea especially dedicated to the protection‚ coupled with maintenance of biological diversity‚ and of natural and associated cultural resources‚ and managed or reserved by legal or other effective means to protect part or all of the enclosed environment. In the U.S.‚ MPAs span a range of habitats including the open ocean‚ coastal areas‚ inter-tidal zones and estuaries; they

1.0. Introduction Over the last few years‚ Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have gained strong popularity in a number of vertical markets‚ including health-care‚ retail‚ manufacturing‚ warehousing‚ and academic areas. These industries have profited from the productivity gains of using hand-held terminals and notebook computers to transmit real time information to centralized hosts data processing [1]. Wireless communications offer users and organizations many benefits such as portability

equilibrium”‚ whatever the temperature may be. The larger the surface area‚ means there can be more “paths” from the sides of the body that are capable of releasing this heat particles‚ and reaching thermal equilibrium faster. This is what happens when a hotter body is subjected to a colder one. Research Question: How does the surface area to volume ratio affect heat loss in organisms? Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the larger the surface area to volume ratio‚ the more heat will be lost and vice versa

Surface area / Volume ratio Experiment Introduction: The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen to diffuse into the cell quickly and allow waste to diffuse out of the cell quickly. If the cells were any bigger than this then it would take too long for the nutrients and oxygen to diffuse into

Programme (UNEP) states that ‘By 2007‚ one-half of the world’s population will live in urban areas compared to little more than one-third in 1972‚ and the period 1950 to 2050 will see a shift from a 65 per cent rural population to 65 per cent urban (United Nations Population Division 2001a). By 2002‚ some 70 per cent of the world’s urban population will be living in Africa‚ Asia or Latin America (UNCHS
