Between 1962 and 1971, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) channeled the Kissimmee River and created a 30-foot deep, 300-foot wide, 56 mile long drainage canal (C-38). This project converted 44% of the floodplain to pasture, draining approximately 31,000 acres of wetlands. Before channelization, the River was a haven for wildlife, including at least 39 species of fish and 38 species of water birds.

Kissimmee River Restoration began in 1992 and has been the most successful ecosystem restoration initiative to date. By re-channelizing the River to replicate its natural paths, birds and other wildlife responded more quickly than anticipated and demonstrated the resiliency of nature. This success has been used all over the world to justify the value of ecosystem restoration. When Kissimmee River Restoration is completed in 2015, more than 40 square miles of the River-floodplain ecosystem will be restored, including almost 20,000 acres of wetlands and 44 miles of historic river channel.

Sloan [31]

Answer: Colon cancer

Explanation:

All cancers, but especially colon and rectal cancers, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer (CRC), have hereditary factors that potentially increase one’s risk.

Genetic testing is determine if there is an increased risk of colon cancer. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a major role in the metabolism of bile acids, cholesterol and triglycerides, and has recently been proposed as being involved in the carcinogenic process. Given the potential role of bile acids in colorectal cancer etiology, it is reasonable that colorectal cancer risk might be modified by apoE genotype. The absence of an e3 apoE allele significantly increased the risk of colon cancer especially for individuals above 50years.

<em><u>Crude oil, coal, wind and natural gas are all primary energy sources. Electricity is not a primary energy source, it's an energy currency (see electricity as an energy currency for an in depth discussion). Likewise, secondary fuels are also energy currencies and aren't primary energy sources, they must be made.</u></em>

puteri [66]

Answer:

The bacteria were growing through fermentation process.

Explanation:

Cyanide have the ability to prevent the growth of microbes, and that is why it usually added to paints that want to be applied to places where the growth of microbes will be harmful to people.

The ships' hull where ballast water is been stored needed to be painted with cyanide to prevent the growth of microbes.

It should be noted that,  anaerobic microbes have the ability to reduce cyanide compound through a process known as submerged fermentation.

In the case of ships' hull, the bacteria growing on the hull were anaerobic, which means, they carried out their activities in the absence of oxygen.
