Concrete vs. Hurricane Abstract There are many ways to manipulate concrete to increase its durability and resistance to high winds as such in a hurricane. This paper goes over the numerous types of additives to concrete as well as a little bit of the history of “ hurricane proofing “ structures. Reinforced concrete seems to be the best defense against hurricanes so far. The National Hurricane Center in south Florida was built specifically for withstanding hurricanes. This facility

Depending on the chemical nature, fiber increases volume of the meal, and it can affect transit time of food in the digestive tract, help maintain health of gastrointestinal mucosa, and consistency of feces, which is very important for those who have to pick it up. As a source of fiber, we can use ingredients such as wheat bran, fruit pulp and tomato, beet pulp, soybean and peanuts by products. Dogs cannot digest fiber directly, but certain level of fermentation in large intestines

Assignment 1 – (50 marks) Discuss the importance of body fluids and which one is considered to be the body’s internal environment. (4 marks) * Body fluids carry chemical communicators which organize actions amid cells, carry nutrients to cells, and carry waste products away from cells. They are the primary transport system between cells. The internal environment of the body is extracellular fluid, which refers to all of the fluids outside of our cells in our bodies – such as blood plasma,

addition customers are harmed because the pay for a premium products which they do not gain. In the last years two methods have been developed to examine different kind of animal hairs and fibers and to determine their origins. The scanning electron microscopy method allows a highly detailed test of the fibers with a quality analysis as well. However, this test needs highly skilled people and quite a long time and is therefore relatively expensive and not every company can pay for such a test. The
