Herbicides are a broad category of pesticides that are used to get rid of undesirable plants like weeds and grasses that hinder the development and productivity of desired agricultural crops. Both 2,4-D and 2,4,5T are also known as 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and

  • Herbicides like 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T are also referred to as auxin-type herbicides or plant growth regulators. Auxins are hormones that affect cell division and elongation in order to control cell growth.
  • Auxins are required by plant cells in the proper concentration for growth and development. If auxin levels are too low, plant growth is not promoted at all, and if levels are too high, plant growth is excessively stimulated.
  • Most grasses are not killed by 2,4-D and 2,4,5 T, but broadleaf weeds are. It moves to the plant's meristems after being absorbed through the leaves.
  • These herbicides affect the tissues' cells, causing them to continually divide and proliferate. The plant finally dies as a result of this unchecked, unsustainable growth, which also causes stem curling and withering of the leaves.

Thus, by promoting cell division, these compounds act as herbicides.

When stem cells grown on hard, rigid surface, then they became bone cells. Researchers demonstrate in Nature materials that human mesenchymal stem cells grown on a rigid substrate for some time become biased toward differentiating into bone-cell lineage, whereas cell grown on softer surfaces are just likely to eventually follow a bone or fat cell fate.

You will develop a brief portfolio detailing the history of tsunamis in a modern society that could be used to teach others.
Maru [420]

The 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami gave us a vivid description of menace of major tsunamis. It also suggested that tsunami science and engineering were inevitable to save human society, industries, and natural environment.

An answer can be found in Japan. Japan is the country the most frequently hit by tsunamis in the world. The experiences are well documented and are continued as the local legends. In 1896, the tsunami science started when the Meiji Great Sanriku Tsunami claimed 22,000 lives. An idea of comprehensive countermeasures was officially introduced after the 1933 Showa Great Sanriku Tsunami. The major works taken after this tsunami, however, were the relocation of dwelling houses to high ground and tsunami forecasting that started in 1941. The 1960 Chilean Tsunami opened the way to the tsunami engineering by elaborating coastal structures for tsunami defense. The 1983 Japan Sea Earthquake Tsunami that occurred during a fine daytime cleared the veil of actual tsunamis. The 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami led to the practical comprehensive tsunami disaster prevention used at present, in which three components, defense structures, tsunami-resistant town development and evacuation based on warning are combined.

The present paper briefs the history of tsunami research in Japan that supports countermeasures.
