Aulavik National Park ( Inuvialuktun: place where people travel ) is a national park located on Banks Island in the Northwest Territories of Canada.

Prior to the arrival of the Thule culture in southern Banks Island there were some Pre-Dorset culture people living in what is now the Aulavik National Park.

The Aulavik National Park of Canada, a fly-in park, protects about of Arctic lowlands at the northern end of the island.

Aulavik National Park has two major bays, Castel Bay and Mercy Bay, and lies south of the McClure Strait.

Life is further characterized, in antithesis to Piepsam, as animal: the image of a dog, which appears at several places, is first given as the criterion of amiable, irrelevant interest aroused by life considered simply as a spectacle: a dog in a wagon is `` admirable '', `` a pleasure to contemplate '' ; ;

It is hypothesized that fertility is a function of the social system when the population as a whole is considered and a function of the subsystems when the two-fold division of core families and marginal families is considered.

As is well known, detergent actives belong to the chemical class consisting of moderately high molecular weight and highly polar molecules which exhibit the property of forming micelles in solution.

Related to micelle formation is the technologically important ability of detergent actives to congregate at oil - water interfaces in such a manner that the polar ( or ionized ) end of the molecule is directed towards the aqueous phase and the hydrocarbon chain towards the oily phase.

The equivalent polar circle in the Southern Hemisphere is called the Antarctic Circle.

This family has a remarkable ecological and economical importance, and is present from the polar regions to the tropics, colonizing all available habitats.

The side-chain can make an amino acid a weak acid or a weak base, and a hydrophile if the side-chain is polar or a hydrophobe if it is nonpolar.

On the plane the most common alternative is polar coordinates, where every point is represented by its radius r from the origin and its angle θ.

The arctic fox ( Vulpes lagopus, formerly known as Alopex lagopus ), also known as the white fox, polar fox or snow fox, is a small fox native to Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere and is common throughout the Arctic tundra biome.

When its normal prey is scarce, the arctic fox scavenges the leftovers and even feces of larger predators, such as the polar bear, even though the bear's prey includes the arctic fox itself.

This rapid rotation forces Altair to be oblate ; its equatorial diameter is over 20 percent greater than its polar diameter.

In general, the bulk of their structure is nonpolar or hydrophobic (" water-fearing "), meaning that it does not interact well with polar solvents like water.

Another part of their structure is polar or hydrophilic (" water-loving ") and will tend to associate with polar solvents like water.

In the case of cholesterol, the polar group is a mere-OH ( hydroxyl or alcohol ).

Because this complex has no charge, it is no longer attracted to polar water molecules and dissolves in the kerosene, which is then easily separated from the solution.

The thousands of city migrants who desert the farms yearly must readjust with even greater stress and tension: the sacred wilderness is gradually surrendering to suburbs and research parks and industrial areas.

Newest small-boat playground is the Salton Sea, a once-dry desert sinkhole which is now a salty lake 42 miles long and 235 feet below sea level.

Thus, a well-planned adobe wall of the appropriate thickness is very effective at controlling inside temperature through the wide daily fluctuations typical of desert climates, a factor which has contributed to its longevity as a building material.

Many desert annuals are therophytes, because their seed-to-seed life cycle is only weeks and they spend most of the year as seeds to survive dry conditions.

The order is a cosmopolite ( plants found throughout most of the world including desert and frigid zones ), and includes mostly herbaceous species, although a small number of trees ( such as the giant Lobelia and the giant Senecio ) and shrubs are also present.

Land which is unsuitable for arable farming usually has at least one of the following deficiencies: no source of fresh water ; too hot ( desert ); too cold ( Arctic ); too rocky ; too mountainous ; too salty ; too rainy ; too snowy ; too polluted ; or too nutrient poor.

This technology is optimized to grow crops on desert land close to the sea.

He visited the ruins of Babylon and the subterranean secret of Memphis and spent ten years alone in the great southern desert of Arabia — the Roba El Khaliyeh or " Empty Space " of the ancients — and " Dahna " or " Crimson " desert of the modern Arabs, which is held to be inhabited by protective evil spirits and monsters of death.

The more humid regions have a richer vegetation ; dense forest where the rainfall is greatest and variations of temperature least, conditions found chiefly on the tropical coasts, and in the west African equatorial basin with its extension towards the upper Nile ; and savanna interspersed with trees on the greater part of the plateaus, passing as the desert regions are approached into a scrub vegetation consisting of thorny acacias, etc.
