Some people argue that abortion is also infanticide. In some cases abortion is needed to save the pregnant mother because of severe medical problems that would result in the death of the pregnant mother, but in other cases abortion has been used as an elective surgery to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.
Definition: The octanol/water partition coefficient (Kow) is defined as the ratio of a chemical's concentration in the octanol phase to its concentration in the aqueous phase of a two-phase octanol/water system. Kow = Concentration in octanol phase / Concentration in aqueous phase. Values of Kow are thus, unitless. The parameter is measured using low solute concentrations, where Kow is a very weak function of solute concentration. Values of Kow are usually measured at room temperature (20 or 25'C. The effect of temperature on Kow is not great-usually on the order of 0.001 to 0.01 Iog Kow units per degree-and may be either positive or negative.
Kodo is a Japanese taiko performing arts ensemble that performs on a worldwide scale but remain rooted in the local community of Sado Island, Japan.Taiko is the Japanese word for traditional drums, which are made from wood and animal hides.One could also add that Kodo has been esteemed internationally and at home as a group dedicated to the re-creation of traditional Japanese performing arts, centered around taiko drumming.he weight of the drum together with the stand (yatai) on which it rests is a staggering 400 kg.
