resource that limits their survival, between the 5 flower species in the experimental plot because they had their space limited to the fence that they were enclosed in. this competition was a density dependent factor in that the death rate rose when population density in the plot rose. Also, some of the specie’s ecological niches (like what nutrients they needed and how many branches would form) would have had to been the same or else they could coexist together. Then, one of the species of wildflower

social, and mental wellbeing; not only the absence of sickness. It is shown that the effects of climate change in the Anthropocene era have an impact on all aspects of human health. While illness and disease are constant elements of human existence, the causes and ways in which they are treated is constantly evolving. Using an ecological framework to examine human sickness and health reminds us that there is no sole cause of either—and that public health is impacted by many—often interacting—elements

the environment. This can impact human health by reducing life expectancy and increasing infant mortality rate. For example, climate change can lead to flooding and drought, which can impact agricultural yield. Shortage of food or famine can affect the infant mortality rate. Also, human activities that pollute the environment can lead to chronic and acute disease which can affect life expectancy and infant mortality rate of a given population. Infrastructure can impact life expectancy and infant

There is a definite link between the rapid loss of the melting ice caps and the endangerment and declining populations of animal species in the Artic region. Global warming has produced rising temperatures causing the melting of the ice caps. The Artic animals, primarily the polar bear and the emperor penguin are left with less hunting grounds and a natural environment in which to thrive. Global warming should be of great concern worldwide, as it not only affects our environment physically, but it

height and growth of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica rapa) housed in different soil types. This finding contradicted our expectations since soil is one of the main variables in growth of a plant organism. And we measured the height and growth because impacts on plant growth is a widely used indicator of resistance or sensitivity to the plants environment (Black, 2007). In our planning, we expected that the regular potting soil would result in taller height and faster growth than the other soils. Instructions

Often times it can prove difficult to separate the effects that impact both forms of public policy because they are intertwined.

secondary transmission events. A central quantity in infectious disease epidemiology is the so-called basic reproduction number, R0. This is defined as the average number of secondary cases generated by an infectious individual in a susceptible population. In this figure we can see that each infected person generates exactly two secondary cases for illustration purposes. Here R0=2 and the arrows denote the direction of transmission. In the bottom part of the figure we can see the generation number

differences between an environmental exposure history and an environmental health exam and the four phases of a chemical exposure. Finally, author will discuss the differences between community-based and community-oriented nursing and explain the how population-based approaches are applicable to the hospital setting.
