Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the few crop species that originated in North America (most originated in the Fertile Crescent, Asia or South or Central America). It was probably a “camp flower” of several of the western native American tribes (North American Indians) who domesticated the crop (possibly 1000 BC) and then carried it eastward and southward in North America. The fir…

Fatty acids: chains of 4 – 28 carbon atoms with the carbon chain joined by single or double bonds, depending on the number of hydrogen atoms attached. If a FA contains a double bond, the H atom or other group attached to the carbon atoms involved in the double bond may have different orientation --- as cis or trans forms (isomers).
One of the ideas at the heart of sustainable development is that of ‘capital formation’. In this report, five main forms of capital are discussed: natural, manufactured, human, social, and financial. In theory, determining whether the world is on the path of sustainable development is measured by the net gain or loss in the total of these capital stocks over time.There is as yet no common c…
The earth’s crust consists of a variety of rocks, formed under different circumstances, and with a wide variety of properties. Rocks usually consist of one or more minerals, ranging from single chemical elements to complex compounds. There are known to be more than 3,000 different minerals. Of the 155 known elements, some of which do not occur naturally, oxygen is by far the most common, maki…

Formed under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure as a result of the constant movement and activity of material deep within…
Within the more than 2,000 years of its exploitation, the mine delivered just 130 tons of diamonds. Since diamond-containing rock features only an average of 1/20,000,000 in diamonds, some 3 billion tons of rock, sand and boulders had to be processed in the Kimberley Mine – 1.8 tons for a single ct. Diamond is made of pure carbon (c), same as soot. This means that burned toast chemically equa…

It’s also a great way to bond with our furry friends and gives us the opportunity to check them over to spot any signs that suggest they need medical attention. To get started, r…
Cucumbers are members of the Cucurbitaceae family, also known as the cucurbits or gourd family (see Figure 1). The group includes crops such as winter and summer squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkins and gourds. It is believed that cucumbers originated in India over 3,000 years ago and then spread to China, Greece, Italy and North Africa (see Figure 2). By the 9th century, cucumbers were gro…
According to current knowledge, dogs’ visual acuity is assumed to be three to four times worse than that of humans. 1. Dogs see objects closer than 30-50 cm in front of them as blurry, which is why they sniff around when pieces of food are very close to them, for example.2 Dogs perceive movement much better than humans. They can detect small movements even at distances of almost one kilometre…

Having a dog in the family can help children to develop a sense of responsibility towards other living things as they learn to care for it. Looking aft…
Dogs are “in the moment” creatures. They aren’t thinking about what happened to them this morning or what will happen in the future. Dogs are like sponges. They absorb the world around them. Every experience shapes a future behavior. Simply put, dogs do what works. From the time they are puppies, dogs have learned their behavior has consequences. They learn to repeat behaviors that have d…
It is a worrying fact that many toddlers in the UK today aren’t getting the nutrients they need. Iron deficiency anaemia still affects many toddlers and the cause in the vast majority of cases is poor diet. But while toddlers aren’t eating enough of some foods, they are eating too much of others. Data shows that 15 per cent of two to four year olds are now obese, while a further 10 per cent…

When you think about infants and toddlers, what words and images come to mind? William James imagined infants as experiencing a “blooming, buzzing confusion” (James, 1890). More recent and more accurate images consider infants and toddlers as young scientists making sense of their world as they actively engage with it (Gopnik, 2012; Gopnik, Meltzoff & Kuhl, 1999). The goal of this section i…

It is not known exactly when humankind first used petroleum. It is known, however, that ancient peoples worshipped sacred fires that were fuelled by natural gas seeping to the surface through pores and cracks. It is also known that asphalt, a very viscous form of petroleum, was used to waterproof boats and heat homes as early as 6,000 BC. Asphalt was also used as an embalming agent for mummies …
Parenting a child is one of life’s most powerful experiences. It can bring tremendous joy, love, pride, excitement and happiness to our lives. It can bring out the very best in us.

Electric cars are nothing new. Interest in motor vehicles increased greatly around the 1900s and at that time there were about twice as many electric cars on the road than petrol/diesel cars. It wasn’t until the 1920s that interest in electric cars dwindled. The reason was that electric cars were limited by their low top speeds and low range (just a few miles). In addition, in 1912 the electr…
The degradation of ecosystems and loss of life forms throughout the planet is often associated with farming and grazing activities. Meanwhile, areas set aside for preservation are “protected” from humans by keeping them out altogether, or by only allowing entrance under strict controls. In this guidebook, we champion the notion that human action is not necessarily detrimental to the enviro…
Proximate or direct drivers of deforestation and forest degradation are human activities and actions that directly impact forest cover and result in loss of carbon stocks. Agriculture is estimated to be the proximate driver for around 80% of deforestation worldwide. Commercial agriculture is the most important driver of deforestation in Latin America (around 2/3 of total deforested area). In Af…
The nose consists of the external nose and the nasal cavity, Both are divided by a septum into right and left halves. The external nose has two elliptical orifices called the naris (nostrils), which are separated from each other by the nasal septum.
The trick is to give your plants enough water without giving them too much water. Why? Watering too little can lead to wilt from which the plant may not recover, but watering too much is bad for plants because it starves the roots of oxygen. Depending on the size and type of the plant (tree, shrub, or groundcover), you will need to water to different depths and widths. A large tree needs more w…
