1. Introduction: The Human Factor in Ship Design It is essential to take into account the human factor when designing complicated and large-scale equipment such as ships. The importance of this is demonstrated when the human factor is investigated in terms of marine disasters and casualties. According to Bin Yaakob and Nee (2003, p. 1), the human element accounts for as much as 80% of all marine catastrophes and casualties. This is why entities such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO)

The Human Factor of Global Warming The Human Factor of Global Warming Global warming has been a growing concern for many over the last several decades. The effects of global warming are evident and broad, with historical research dating the first global warming crisis back 56 million years ago, better known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, or PETM (Jardine, 2011). Research from the composition of sediments of fossils shells of marine organisms conclude that carbon dioxide trapped within

The organs that help maintain homeostasis are the liver, the kidneys, and the brain through hypothalamus, the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system. The main function of the liver is to metabolize toxic substance as well as stabilising

correlations between human’s vital capacity and height. This experiment is categorized as biology as vital capacity is due to lungs and lungs are organs in a human body. Vital capacity is the amount of air that can be forcibly expelled from the lungs after breathing in as deeply as possible. The vital capacity is about 4,800 mL (4.8L) for an average human, which is the total amount of air that can be expired after fully inhaling. The vital capacity is= approximately 80 percent of total lung capacity. =

which serve a wide range of purposes in nature. Lipids tend to be hydrophobic in nature but there are also lipids that are amphiphilic as well. It is this characteristic that allows these group of structures to serve a range of functions. In the human body there some important lipids include glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, and sterols, and sphingolipids. Glycolipids are important as they serve as the body’s way of storing energy. Glycerphospholipids are important as they make up the structure
