...Plant propagation is the process of creating new plants from a variety of sources: seeds, cuttings, bulbs and other plant parts. Plant propagation can also refer to the artificial or natural dispersal of plants. Sexual Reproduction – pollination (plants or trees that have flowers) Asexual Reproduction *Natural *Artificial Natural Methods of Asexual Reproduction Natural methods of asexual reproduction include strategies that plants have developed to self-propagate. Many plants, such as ginger, onion, gladioli, and dahlia, continue to grow from buds that are present on the surface of the stem. In some plants, such as the sweet potato, adventitious roots or runners (stolons) can give rise to new plants . In Bryophyllum and kalanchoe, the leaves have small buds on their margins. When these are detached from the plant, they grow into independent plants; they may also start growing into independent plants if the leaf touches the soil. Some plants can be propagated through cuttings alone. Runners: asexual reproduction A stolon, or runner, is a stem that runs along the ground. At the nodes, it forms adventitious roots and buds that grow into a new plant. Artificial Methods of Asexual Reproduction Artificial methods of asexual reproduction are frequently employed to give rise to new, and sometimes novel, plants. They include grafting, cutting, layering, and micropropagation. Grafting Grafting has long been used to produce novel varieties of roses, citrus species, and...

...Phil 203 - Logic - Handout #1 It is important to be able to distinguish between a valid argument and a sound argument. A valid argument is one in which the conclusion follows necessarily from the premises, such that if the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true. A sound argument is one that is valid and the premisses are true (hence the conclusion is also true). Here is an example of a valid deductive argument with true premises and a true conclusion (notice it is in the form of a syllogism): Premiss 1: If the North won the Civil War, then the slaves were freed. Premiss 2: The North won the Civil War. Conclusion: Therefore, the slaves were freed. But consider this argument: Premiss 1: If the South won the Civil War, then the slaves were freed. Premiss 2: The South won the Civil War. Conclusion: Therefore, the slaves were freed. Here, the argument is valid even though both premises are false and the conclusion is true. It is valid, because if the premises were true, then the conclusion would be true also. The conclusion still follows from the premises. Are the following valid? Premiss 1: All seniors are talented (F) Premiss 2: All talented people are ugly (F) Conclusion: All seniors are ugly (F) Premiss 1: All ugly people are seniors (F) Premiss 2: All seniors are insightful (F) Conclusion: All ugly people are insightful (T) Premiss 1: All ugly people...

King and Morgan Freeman know a lot about cotton fields. Both having grown up in the Mississippi Delta region. B.B. King from Indianola, Mississippi, and Morgan Freeman from Clarksdale, Mississippi. *The underlined portions are fragments. Correct: B.B. King and Morgan Freeman know a lot about cotton fields, both having grown up in the Mississippi Delta region. B.B. King is from Indianola, Mississippi, and Morgan Freeman is from Clarksdale, Mississippi. RUN-ON SENTENCES A run-on is a sentence error caused by running one sentence into another, without putting any punctuation in between. Example: We all like grammar we all love this class. How to correct run-on sentences: • Separate them with a period, creating two complete sentences. Example: We all like grammar. We all love this class. • Link them with a semicolon; this creates two complete sentences just as a period does, but the second sentence doesn’t start with a capital letter. Example: We like grammar ; we love this class. • End the first sentence with a semicolon and begin the second with a conjunctive adverb or transitional. Example: We like grammar ; therefore, we love this class. •...

...THE BIOLOGICAL APPROACH TO PSYCHOPATHOLOGY Approaches to psychopathology are based on different views of the CAUSE of abnormality. The models have different views about how abnormality comes about in the first place Assumptions of the biological model • Abnormality is caused by physical factors – as all behaviour is associated with changes in brain function, abnormal behaviour will be caused by changes in either the structure or function of the brain. - For example in terms of the structure of the brain (neuroanatomy) a damaged hypothalamus has been linked to anorexia - In terms of the function of the brain, neurotransmitters and hormones have been linked to psychopathology, e.g. low levels of serotonin have been lined to depression. • Abnormality is inherited – the genetic view is that there are abnormal genes that are inherited, i.e. passed down from parents to children, even though they may not be shown in every generation. Family, twin and adoption studies are used to establish concordance rates (this shows the extent to which members of the same family share a particular characteristic) to test for genetic predispositions as an explanation of abnormality. - For example Holland et al (1988) found a 56% concordance rate for identical twins (MZ) and only a 5% concordance rate for non-identical twins (DZ) in anorexia nervosa which supports the idea of a genetic basis for abnormality. Evaluation of the biological model Strengths ...

...Anselm And Augustine Reason Of Faith Anselm And Augustine Reason Of Faith St. Augustine, who was also far and away the most influential Catholic theologian prior to St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Augustine’s mode of thought indicates perfectly that all knowledge upon all subjects must take into account the revealed truth of Scripture along with the insights of philosophy, since all knowledge is aimed at helping humanity understand God. He declared that “Faith precedes Reason” because unless you believe, you would not understand. St. Augustine like other Early Fathers of the Church, fully welcomed reason which was open to the absolute, and infused it with the richness drawn from Revelation. St. Augustine argued that reason and faith must be in concordance to know the truth and the stages of history. Moreover, he held that both help each other. Faith can help “illuminate” truths for philosophy and reasoning along the way to knowing God, and reason can help faith in understanding the perfections of God.

Music plays softly in the background when a jumpy looking Carlos enters. His eyes dart around the room wildly. MCCRUDO CREW MEMEBERS continue to decorate the room as Carlos makes his way past them to find-- LUKE, a man in his early thrities, sleeked black hair, and NATHAN, a man in his late twenties, battling it out on a "Dance Dance Revolution" type video game. Luke stomps on the game's foot-pads in a seemingly random fashion, while Nathan is a flurry of accurately moving limbs. Suddenly, Luke bends down, pounds on the foot-pad arrows with his fists like an ape. The song ends. Nathan That's your fourth loss, Luke. MICHAEL Well you know what? I didn't want to say anything, but this is completely unfair. (beat) The pads don't register my moves properly because I'm so light. You're so fat that it counts yours twice Nathan stares at Luke blankly. Befuddled. Nathan That doesn't even make any sense. Carlos tries to get past unnoticed, but Luke spots him. Luke Hey, Carlitos! Swiftly, Luke steps in front of Carlos, blocking his way. He towers over him. LUKE(cont'd) Want to come show us your moves? Luke motions towards the video game. Carlos avoids eye contact.

...PAD: 201 Handout-2 (MrM) Public Administration in Bangladesh Structure of Bangladesh State The Bangladesh constitution provides for a Parliamentary form of government with the Prime Minister as Chief Executive and a President as the head of the State with very circumscribed powers. The President is elected by Parliament and the Prime Minister is a Member of Parliament. The Prime Minister appoints and heads a Cabinet of Ministers which is collectively responsible to Parliament. The Unicameral Parliament is the supreme legislative authority as well as the ultimate repository of public accountability. The Executive is organized on the basis of Ministries and within Ministries, by divisions.
