structure and stress condition in the laboratory sample determine the quality of soil parameters. However, many researchers pointed out that it is impossible to retain original soil condition even though we use so-called high quality sampler and same in-situ effective stress condition during the laboratory testing. On the other hand, many researchers have tried to overcome such problem of soil disturbance by introducing several methods of correcting soil parameters for poor quality sample. Moreover, recompression
hospital administration (F5). Latent safety threats are difficult to predict or notice until a serious incident happens. In situ simulation can identify and address Latent safety threats without hazard to patients ( F6,F7). In situ simulation is an efficient method to gain new technical skills and to identify and address latent safety threats in the hospital. The benefits of in situ simulation training may include lowering the cost of education, facilitate access for a greater number of health worker
be done to save this struggling species. In this report I am going to investigate and discuss solutions to revive the struggling kakapo population. I am mainly going to focus on the in situ conservation of supplementary feeding of kakapo, while also investigating the use of artificial insemination and the ex situ conservation captive breeding. The population of the Kakapo has rapidly declined over the last 200 or so years since the 19th Century. During this period, the kakapo could be found inhabiting
BMI-1 Autoantibody as a New Potential Biomarker for Cervical Carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was any correlation between elevated levels of the BMI-1 autoantibody and cervical carcinoma. In order to determine whether any correlation existed, the levels of the autoantibody BMI-1 in patients who had cervical carcinoma of varying stages and those who did not have cervical carcinoma were compared. Overexpression of BMI-1 has already been associated with certain

Among many other fun and exciting attraction to visit around our community, a visit to the zoo has always been a memorable experience. This cost effective priceless lifetime experience is being undermined by a group of activists all around the country. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), world largest animal rights organization, argue that zoos deprived animals from satisfying their most basic needs. They urge not to patronized zoos and claims that the money spent on ticket purchases
I’ll repeat… Imagine a zoo and tell me what do you really know about them? What is its purpose? Where do the animals come from? Why are they there? How are they cared for? What really goes into building and running of a zoo? If you were to ask me those questions in my more innocent years my answers would look rather simple. I thought of the zoo simply as an unusual type of farm considering I lived on one myself. I remember assuming they were all born in a zoo or too injured to be released back into
Zoos, if managed and run correctly, are beneficial to a majority of animals and endangered species. Zoos were created by humans to display animals as works of art, but now zoos are much more. Many zoos have breeding programs to help animals repopulate. Animals are also safe from predators, common but fatal diseases, and even illegal wildlife poachers. Lastly, zoos give the public a chance to see animals up close and offer chances to have real live animal interactions, along with providing educational
ferrets were placed in the care of AZA-accredited institutions. Due to the efforts of the AZA Black-footed Ferret SSP Program and other conservation partners, these animals have successfully reproduced and over 700 animals have been reintroduced into in situ population,”(Cohen, J., 2014). The California condors were also dwindling to a mere 23 when AZA stepped in and increased the population to 322 with 172 of those living in the wild. The Karner Blue Butterfly lives in a couple of historic preserves;
Zoos have always reflected the curiosity and intrigue of humankind toward the animal kingdom. Throughout several different ancient civilizations dating back thousands of years, including Egypt, China, and all over Europe, caged wild animals were seen as divine representatives and sat next to the thrones of only the most wealthy and powerful. “Stone tablets found in the Sumerian city of Ur, dated to around 2300 BC, document the establishment and management of the earliest known animal park” (Hamilton
There are a plenty of animals on the face of this earth and they live on different terrains. But there is one place where most of them can be found and that place is called zoo. Children love going to zoos and watch their favorite animals. But after growing up they realize that those animals are not living like they are supposed to. Zoos can be found in every major city in the world, and they accommodate both native and exotic animals. These beings can vary from an elephant to a kiwi and that is
giving an exciting experience to the visitors (Ganzert). These results prove that zoos encourage and teach people to help save the animals rather than keep destroying their homes, poaching, and selling them on the black market. The AZA says that the positive change is a result from the zoos and aquariums that do their job and making their visitors knowledgeable about any topic that is risen about animals (Dunaway). The way zoos and aquariums have been going with educating their visitors, adults and
Why Animals Should Not be Held in Captivity Imagine you are at a zoo, and as you walk by, you see animals acting strangely. Animals are biting themselves, vomiting, or banging their heads against the cage bars or glass walls. You look at them, trapped in lonely enclosures and feel sorry for them, trapped inside cages or glass, with nowhere to go. Now imagine, that you visit the wildlife, and you see animals roaming freely in the wild, you look at them, and they are not acting strangely, they
Families strolling, children squealing with glee, and adults gazing with interest; A typical day at the zoo. Animal-lovers rush throughout zoos in search of their favorite feline or lizard, while children smack on popcorn as they tap on glass enclosures. For hundreds of years people have gone to zoos in seek of entertainment. The zoo provides a fun and educational time for families, but the joy of seeing adorable creatures blinds spectators from seeing the pain zoo animals live with. People do not
Since approximately 1250 B.C., ancient Egyptians had created and practiced the capture and display of animals in what are now known as zoos (Fravel). Records describe such exotic animals as birds, lions, giraffes, and tigers in captivity (Fravel). Since then, zoos have continued to entertain millions with the exciting chance to view exotic animals up close and personal. Even in ancient Greece, exotic animals were on display in fighting arenas, and in enclosed viewing areas. Originally in America
Tigers, lions, giraffes, and other exotic animals are rarely seen in the wild. However the public, without humans and/or animals being harmed at the same time, can see exotic animals when a zoo opens. Zoos for many are a wonderful experience, but to others they see the animals as being treated poorly and not able to roam free. These people do not consider the beneficial sides of zoos. Zoos around the world help species that have been endangered by protecting and caring for them. Otherwise they would
There are billions of animals in captivity around the world. These animals are in zoos, breeding centers, and research laboratories. All those animals lead to out lash because of the stress of being in a small confinement habitat. Is it ethical to keep animals in captivity for research, breeding, or for our enjoyment? Over the years keeping animals in captive has not changed in safety and the well-being of the animal. The reasons that animals are held in captivity could favor some people and others
The zoo is the place to see some of the most dangerous predators, majestic birds, skittish herbivores, and the sheer beauty of the animal kingdom and some of the deadliest snakes in the world just on the other side of a glass or just observed from a couple yards away. People say that the animals should be freed and sent back to their natural habitats. Others say that these animals should stay there because they are protected from poaching, bring the numbers back from endangered species, getting
a. This relationship between the rabbit and lynx is density dependent. This means their probability of survival depends on the size of populations. The lynx’s main food source is the rabbit so its populations reflects the rabbit’s except it is staggered. They have a predator- prey relationship with the lynx being the carnivorous predator the feeds of the herbivore rabbit which is the lynx’s prey. At about 1850 there is a sharp increase in the rabbit population which sharply rose the number of animals/10^3
Some zoo animals and abused and not cared for properly even although some zoos have rehabilitation centres for endangered animals. Should we have zoos where animals are just there for show? Are zoos a part of a solution to conserve biodiversity? The definition of conserving biodiversity is to protect and rehabilitate flora and fauna. This can include taking or placing endangered animals in rehab centres or helping protect them by eliminating some predators tha are a danger to that species. Zoo animals
