Policy in Lundy Marine Nature Reserve Yields Positive Results...NTZ Policy in Lundy Marine Nature Reserve Yields Positive Results By: The No Take Zone Policy (NTZ) in Lundy Marine Nature Reserve is yielding positive results according to the monitoring program's lead scientist, Dr Miles Hoskin. After 18 months of NTZ, bigger and more abundant lobster population as compared to control areas outside of the zone was reported.
The policy earlier received flak from university based scientists. They were arguing then that closing a small marine area to any kind of activity offers little consolation to the marine organisms that usually travel long distances to search for food.

Ground investigation in shallow offshore sites...that encompass offshore site investigations are varied in nature. They range from analyzing marine geological information, scrutiny of available geophysical data which is used to plan the actual investigations. Such processes that lead to the success of the above mentioned range consist of drilling, sampling as well as in situ testing which in essence includes penetrating into the seabed with the help of high technology drilling vessels. These processes encompass what is generally referred to as Geotechnical investigation.
Introduction:
From The period 1985 to 1982 Lunne and Powell (1992) gave a review of developments in offshore investigations. They explored the various technological inventions that marked this period...

Biology and Stem Cells... In the field of biology, the research in the new era has paved the way to the discovery and development of cures for different forms of diseases and ailments. One of the most important tools in the said field is related to stem cells.
Stem cells can be considered as one of the most important biological entity of the present generation due to the potentialities that can present in the field of medicine. Stem cells can be defined as the cells that are undeveloped or not yet specialized. Due to the said character, it can still undergo proliferation, self renewal and differentiation to cure or replenish the needs for such cells that can be considered as specialized in different parts of...

Microbiology
Whenever there is a need to find about the relationship between the human species, the plants and animals, one hand and various bacteria, virus and fungi; it is the microbiology that guides us through this relationship while throwing light on the study of virus and bacteria. The study of different microbes is done for the identification of harmful and helpful bacteria that we find in our various daily activities. These include the application of microbiological knowledge for the...

Biology...One Baby: Two Mothers The article has been written by Nick Lane, an honorary reader at College, London. The thesis ment is that a baby can be created by two mothers genetically which can save him from inheriting dreadful diseases, and this procedure can lead to the development of designer babies. Lane has described the procedure to create babies using the eggs of two women. If the egg from one woman contains defective mitochondria, then these can be replaced by those attained from the donor egg from another woman, and since a mitochondrion itself contains DNA, this would mean that the baby is going to have genes from two different women or mothers. This variation in genes eliminates the chance of delivering mitochondrial diseases... to the...

General Biology - Summary and Review of Two Articles...General Biology 101: Summary and Review of Two Articles Source of Half Earths Oxygen Gets Little Credit Phytoplankton are one-celled plants that live in the ocean surface and support the productivity and life of those living in and off the ocean through the process of photosynthesis. In the process of photosynthesis, phytoplankton use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and nutrients into complex organic compounds (Roach, n.p.). Thus, phytoplankton need two important things to undergo photosynthesis: energy from the sun and nutrients from the water. Half of the world’s oxygen is produced during the photosynthesis of phytoplankton as they release oxygen into the...

1. Audubon State Historic Site
Located in St. Francisville, the Audubon State Historic Site is famous for having the Oakley House. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, this is where the artist John James Audubon came to spend four months in 1821. He was there to teach the estate’s owner’s daughter the rudiments of drawing. Not only does the site contain the Oakley house, but there are other buildings reminiscent of the colonial era – most notably the slave cabins at the estate. What is more, the forest that Audubon used... , gives...

Benjamin’s “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”
Walter Benjamin provides a general history of the evolution of art. He asserts that changes in the economic structure have created changes in art. Like the economic structure, art is losing its essence, or “aura,” the inner force that comes from art’s uniqueness. He argues that mechanical reproduction has destroyed art by reinforcing oppressive socioeconomic systems.
Benjamin explores the loss of art in the modern mechanical age. His first main point is that...

Modeling cancer biology...Article Review Cobb, Kristin. Modeling Cancer Biology, Biomedical Computation Review, (Spring, 2007), 3 (2), 16-24. In this article Dr. Kristine Cobb explains, citing evidence from joint experiments by mathematicians and biologists, how mathematical models are transforming the fight against cancer. The article points out that the mathematicians’ works are rarely referred to or put to use by the biologists and stresses the need for collaborative work between them in the light of the benefits revealed by the cases cited. For example, Dr. Natalia Komaroa models the inactivation of APC tumour suppressor gene, the initiating event in colon cancer, for estimating the number of stem cells in the bottom of each microscopic pit...
