Scientist can determine the age of ancient objects by a method called radiocarbon dating. the bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts nitrogen to a radioactive isotope of carbon, 14c, with a half-life of about 5730 years. vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere and animal life assimilates 14c through food chains. when a plant or animal dies, it stops replacing its carbon and the amount of 14c begins to decrease through radioactive decay. therefore, the level of radioactivity must also decay exponentially. a parchment fragment was discovered that had about 75% as much 14c radioactivity as does plant material on earth today. estimate the age of the parchment. (round your answer to the nearest hundred years.)

The answer is metamorphic.

In order to understand the problems of unwanted infertility in a country — the gambia — where the desire for children and the fertility is very high, a population-based survey was undertaken. all infertile women in 24 randomly selected enumeration areas were assessed. the study included a review of the problems faced and coping mechanisms employed by infertility clients and types of health care available for infertile couples in the different types and levels of the formal and traditional health system. half of the infertile couples failed to seek formal health care, and they have to reach a certain level of care in order to be properly managed. alternative care is often sought. child fostering is also a frequent solution to childlessness. in-depth interviews revealed that traditional care like healers and spiritual leaders are frequently consulted long before formal health care. this delay could be a problem in those cases where infertility is caused by infections.
