People represented the living component of the mineral universe of what later became a city of continuous technological evolution.
In order for the living components of a major ecosystem (e.g., a lake or a forest) to survive, all the chemical elements that make up living cells must be recycled continuously.
The living components of SCOBY can vary widely but generally include strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeasts, as well as a number of bacteria, including Gluconacetobacter xylinus.
Environmental management is inevitably complicated by the large variation in susceptibility to chemical toxicity exhibited by the living components of ecosystems, a significant proportion of which is determined by genetic factors.
Brouwer and his partners believed that the goals of EC would be best met by substantial investments in basic academic research: "research within the cluster is largely fundamental, for the simple reason that we know so very little about the living component of soil in particular" (NGI Annual Report 2002, 58).
In his latest work, "We Fall Down, We Get Up," 24 singers from the Broadway Community Chorus function not just musically but also spatially, as a living component of Philip Treviño's set.
This approach can also be useful to understand complex interactions of living components in the system.
The major consideration in the community is the living component, the organisms; the abiotic factors of the environment are excluded.
However, the need of different physicochemical conditions in water for living components makes the management of the system very complex.
The aim of this study was to develop and validate using CFA a Brazilian adaptation of the lived experience component of the SHALOM, also called SWBQb.
These systems are discussed as regards their utilization in improving sustainability through management and integration of the living components [ 10].
