...recycling paper and water? Scientific discoveries and applications are a large factor on the impacts on the environment. Science has helped further mankind at the environment’s expense and has also been able to fix some of the damage humans have caused and further the environment itself as well. Two of the scientific applications that have helped restore some of the damage that humans have inflicted on the environment are recycling of paper and recycling of water. The recycling of paper is a scientific application that is being used to help resolve the global issue of deforestation and the recycling of water is helping resolve Singapore’s problem of limited water resources. However there are benefits and limitations to these scientific applications and these applications have social and political factors. The role of recycling paper around the world is to reduce the number of trees being cut down for paper. Deforestation is a serious worldwide issue as trees not only provide oxygen but also take in and absorb carbon dioxide. When a tree is cut down all the carbon dioxide that it has stored throughout its life is then released into the atmosphere and contributes to the greenhouse gases. The impact of recycling paper is that it can be made into other things that require the material paper provides, for example the paper that has been recycled can be turned into paper once again or used in another product like a pencil case, etc. The science in recycling paper is that the...

Each company has their own process; therefore, it’s important for applicants to receive information and instructions on how to meet the hiring company requirements. Meeting their hiring requirements can be the result of whether or not the person will be considered for the job. An applicant applying online has been identified as an analytic need for companies because it enhances their hiring process. These needs are generally perceived by intuition, insight, or expert consideration. The need exist on an organizational, task, and person analysis level of need.

...Monitoring In today’s business world an organization may consist of many different applications which require a certain level of risk assessment and security measures. Each application within the organization needs to be thoroughly reviewed in order to determine the associated risks and ways in which to protect against them. Another factor to be considered is that risk may vary between internal and external applications. There are many activities which can be incorporated into an organizations security plan which will help to mitigate possible risks and the loss that result from security breaches. It will be difficult for a company to achieve information security objectives without security event monitoring. Security event monitoring is derived from the general practice of monitoring activities that occur on a computer system. Security event monitoring involves recording information that represents activity and analyzing recorded information to identify and respond to questionable activities i.e.; possible security events Making Security Monitoring a Part of Your Best Security Practices.
