Introduction Nowadays, rapid climate change occurs due to active urbanization, as the growth of cities contributes to the urban heat-island effect (Gill et al., 2007). City trees play a critical role in ameliorating the heat-island effect and in removing particulate matter (PM) from the air (Gill et al., 2007). Consequently, increasing the number of city trees in spatial design could be a viable solution to reducing the pace of climate change and improving the quality of air in large cities,...

My first reaction to this book was outrage. What an extremely disgraceful way for medical professionals to treat a human being. Henrietta’s story raises questions about ethics, race, and informed consent. John Hopkins University Hospital should be ashamed of themselves!

Despite the fact that plant and creature cells share some normal structures, they likewise have a few significant basic contrasts. Plant cells have a cell divider, which is an unbending defensive layer that encompasses the whole cell. Creature cells have cell layers, which are adaptable and penetrable. Accordingly, outside substances can all the more effectively be retained into the cell. Plant cells for the most part don't have cilia, as some creature cells do (Cook, 2018). Cilia are hair like...
