Revolusi teknologi informasi bukan hanya soal komputer atau komunikasi seluler, melainkan terjadi sejak Sapiens menciptakan fiksi, kisah, tulisan, dan buku. Tiap tahap revolusi memperbanyak informasi yang tersedia dan memperluas jangkauan penyebarannya, membangun tatanan yang makin lama makin rumit, tapi belum tentu mempertinggi kebijaksanaan kita: bertambahnya informasi tidak membuat kita maki…

Biomolecules contain mainly carbon, which behaves as it always does in organic compounds, forming 4 bonds, usually with a tetrahedral arrangement. (PP 2) The carbon skeleton can be linear, branched, cyclic, or aromatic. Other important elements are H, O, N, P and S. About 30 elements are required by biological systems, including iodine and many metals, though most of these are needed in only tr…

From forests to farms, from cities to wildlands, ther…
Strong winds generated during severe cyclones can cause extensive property damage and create wind-borne debris that can cause injury to people and damage to buildings. Cyclones can also produce very heavy rainfall, which can cause both flash flooding and widespread flooding. Flooding can damage properties but will also cut roads and other infrastructure. The combination of damage from wind and …

Heat radiation at the nanoscale is a relatively young but flourishing research field, that has attracted much attention in the last decade. This is on the one hand due to the fact that this effect is nowadays experimentally accessible (Hu et al. (2008); Kittel et al (2005);Narayanaswamy et al. (2008); Ottens et al. (2011); Rousseau et al. (2009); Shen et al. (2009)), and on the other hand due t…
Radiation is energy that moves through space or matter at a very high speed. This energy can be in the form of particles, such as alpha or beta particles, which are emitted from radioactive materials, or waves such as light, heat, radiowaves, microwaves, x-rays and gamma rays. Radioactive materials, also known as radionuclides or radioisotopes, are atoms that are unstable. In nature, there is a…
Radioactivity is a spontaneous process characteristic of atoms with unstable nuclei in which the nucleus releases energy either as a particle with kinetic energy or as electromagnetic energy. Upon release of this energy the nucleus may be stable or it may still be unstable and will acquire stability through an additional transformation(s). The original species prior to radioactive disintegrati…
Although in many respects chameleon behavior resembles that of other lizards, there are also unusual characteristics associated with their unique morphology (Chapter 2). Chameleons are perhaps most famous for their ability to change color, a characteristic that has seen the term chameleon adopted in popular language to mean someone changeable or who unconsciously mimics others. Color and color …

We share our data with the National Biodiversity Network (…
We value birds in many ways: culturally, artistically, philosophically and economically. Throughout history, many of our most enduring cultural symbols have been birds, from Horus the Egyptian god of creation, often depicted as a falcon, to Quetzalcoatl, based on the Resplendent Quetzal Pharomachrus mocinno, who dominated the traditions and beliefs of the Maya and Aztec Indians of Central Ameri…
The hot compact core of the Sun – where the energy is created – has a radius of about 175,000 km. Outside the core is a layer where the energy is transported by electromagnetic radiation or photons. This layer is called the radiation zone. Further out we find the convection zone where the energy is transported as a turbulent churning motion similar to a pot of boiling soup. The visible surf…
Globally, leopard is the most widely distributed and persecuted cat amongst large cat species like the tiger across much of its distribution range and with lion and clouded leopard in certain areas of its distribution range. Owing to its very high adaptability for surviving in varieties of habitats and opportunitistic feeding behavior, it is often found to be at the center of the human wildlife…
These days few biologists would try to pin their religious faith, if they have any, on biological evidence, and the apparent design to which Paley referred would be attributed instead to the evolutionary mechanism which Charles Darwin called natural selection. Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is universally accepted among serious biologists (except for a …

Today, polar bears roam the northern reaches of the planet, but as their sea-ice habitat continues to shrink due to Arctic warming, their future in the U.S. and ultimately their continuation as a species are at risk. Their eventual reprieve turns on our collective willingness to address the factors contributing to climate change and, in the interim, on our ability to improve the chances that po…
African Penguins breed on only 25 islands and at 3 mainland sites between Algoa Bay in South Africa and central Namibia and nowhere else in the World. It is the only penguin that breeds in Africa. There are another 17 species of penguins. The first nest at Stony Point was found in 1982. During the 20th century the global population of this penguin decreased by almost 90% and it is now considere…
