Experiment in cmc.



Result:

Exercise 13.

Dirty streets in alhaurin de la torre, mainly chewing gums stuck to the floor.



Faulty of municiple workers (road sweepers).

Alhaurin waters.

Where do they come from?

The hydrography of Alhaurin de la Torre is limited in terms of river inflows. These include the passage of the river Guadalhorce by the municipality along with numerous streams, the majority deviant, dry or with very little flow. The most notable is the water that is often left after some heavy rains in winter, spring or fall. Alhaurín de la Torre is one of the municipalities belonging to the Andalusian Mediterranean Basin. The main place we get water from is the lakes underneath Sierra de Mijas, obviously this water comes from the rain.

Detractors of Al Gore.

They are people (members of the government) that don't support his ideas of protecting the environment because he contributes to the world pollution as well and so they think that the money he spends should be spent on other things (of their interest). They think he is a lier beacause he wants people to react against climate change but then he doesn't do anything to solve it.

Antarctica today.

There are many issues concerned in Antarctica today. Two of them involves the whole world.
Many scientists are currently studying the ozone layer as well as the greenhouse effect.
The ozone layer is a layer of gas in the upper atmosphere of the earth. It blocks a lot of ultraviolet light that is harmful to the skin and could cause skin cancer. However the ozone layer over Antarctica is being destroyed. Scientists blame this destruction on Chlorofluorocarbons, or CFC's, used in aerosol sprays and in air conditioning systems. These CFC's can destroy the Ozone layer.
But why is the hole over Antarctica and not over any other parts of the world?
Over Antarctica, there is an isolated region in the atmosphere which moves in a circular motion called the polar vortex. Researchers believe that this causes a physical sink of gases in the stratosphere. So all the gases float downwards toward Antarctica thus creating a hole above Antarctica.
Another problem in Antarctica is the greenhouse effect.
The earth is slowly heating up.
The burning of fossil fuels causes air pollution to occur.
This pollution blocks heat from exiting the earth's atmosphere.
The heat is becoming trapped making the earth hotter and hotter over the years.
Even a slight change in the earth's temperature will result in disaster.
The reason is that the heat will eventually melt the huge ice caps in Antarctica and in the Arctic.
If enough ice melts the ocean level will rise and will flood many cities and lowland areas.
So many scientists are concerned and trying to figure out ways to stop this.

Al Gore's biography.

NAME: Al Gore
OCCUPATION: Environmental Activist, U.S. Vice President
BIRTH DATE: March 31, 1948 (Age: 65)
EDUCATION: Harvard University, Vanderbilt University
PLACE OF BIRTH: Washington DC
ZODIAC SIGN: Aries

BEST KNOWN FOR

Al Gore was the 45th Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. He is also known for his work regarding environmental issues.

Al Gore, born on March 31, 1948, in Washington, D.C., served in both the House and Senate. He lost his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination to Michael Dukakis in 1988, but was President Bill Clinton's successful running mate in 1992 and again in 1996. In his 2000 presidential campaign, Gore won the popular vote, but eventually conceded defeat to Republican George W. Bush.

Early Life

Gore's childhood was divided between a hotel room the nation's capitol during the school year and his family's farm in Carthage, Tennessee, in the summer. Gore attended Harvard, where he roomed with future actor Tommy Lee Jones. He earned a degree with high honors in government in June 1969 after writing a senior thesis titled "The Impact of Television on the Conduct of the Presidency, 1947-1969.

Military Service

Gore opposed the Vietnam War, but said that his sense of civic duty compelled him to enlist in the U.S. Army in August 1969. After basic training, Gore was assigned as a military journalist writing for The Army Flier, the base newspaper at Fort Rucker.

When he returned to the States in 1971, he worked as a reporter at the Tennessean. In 1974, he enrolled in Vanderbilt's law school.

In 1988, Gore made a bid for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. He won five southern states on Super Tuesday, but eventually lost to Michael Dukakis. 

Recent Projects

Since departing politics, Gore has become a successful businessman, author and public speaker. In 2004, he co-founded Generation Investment Management with David Blood. Gore has backed numerous ventures and invested in such companies as Amazon.com and eBay through this firm.

In 2005, Gore founded a liberal news channel called Current TV with Joel Hyatt. The cable network eventually grew to reach more than 60 million households across the United States. Gore announced in January 2013 that Current TV was to going to be sold to Al-Jazeera, an Arab news network. According to the Associated Press, Gore said Current TV and Al-Jazeera shared a common mission "to give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling."

Gore is expected to receive about $70 million for his 20 percent share of Current TV. Not everyone is thrilled with his decision to sell the channel, however. Time Warner Cable dropped the channel from its line-up soon after hearing about the deal. Some Current TV personnel, such as former governor Eliot Spitzer, quit rather than work for the channel's new owners.

Personal Life

Gore is currently dating fellow environmentalist and Democratic Party supporter Mary Elizabeth Keadle. He divides his time between homes in Nashville, Tennessee, and San Francisco, California. Gore has four adult children with his first wife Tipper. The couple separated in 2010 after 40 years of marriage.

MOLECULAR DISEASES.


A molecular disease is a hereditary disease, caused by a disorder in the molecular structure of determinated molecules.

Molecular diseases can be classified in three groups:

- Genetics: Depending on the type of cell, depending on the type of alteration, depending on the genoma or chromosomes infected.

- Exogenous diseases: intoxications, nutritionals, infections...
- Complex diseases or multifactorials: can be nuclears or mitocondrials.
