Drug abuse can be defined as the excessive use of drugs that can be harmful to the individual or to others, which is associated with social, behavioral, physical and job-related problems. Inhalants drugs (e.g., glue, cocaine) are volatile drugs whose inhalation may induce psychoactive and/or mind-altering effects. Stimulant drugs (e.g., cocaine, amphetamines) are drugs that excite body functions by accelerating the activity of the central nervous system (CNS), while depressant drugs (e.g., alcohol) slow down the CNS. Neonatal abstinence syndrome occurs when a neonate withdraws from certain drugs (usually opioid drugs which interact with opioid receptors) to which he/she was exposed before birth. Finally, designer drugs (e.g., ecstasy, ketamine, LSD) are drugs synthesized in illegal labs which are commonly known as “club drugs” because they are often used and sold in nightclubs.
Producers absorb the energy from the sun and the energy gets transferred via consumption in this order producers ->primary consumers -> secondary consumers -> tertiary consumers
Computer automation is used mostly by industry in factories. However, it is also useful in science. Machines can be used to run automated tests and complete simple tasks. One example of a machine used in science is the robotic arm that is used to handle radioactive samples.
