13、sticated motion machinery, the mimosa has had to be creative in devising a way to move.For motion, the plant depends on tiny, bulb-shaped organs located at the base of each leaf stalk and leaflet. Called pulvini, these organs hold the plant parts in place. When the mimosa is stimulated-say, by a cra
14、wling insect or a sudden change in temperature-an electrical impulse sweeps through the plant. This causes potassium and then water to be shifted from certain cells in the pulvini to others, quickly turning one side of the organs flaccid.

33、hite-collar workers, and a mostly state allocation of most of the white-collar workers including managerial and technical personnel. The latter was a distorted labor market that featured strong U(36) /U considerations in allocating and managing labor. Personal and kinship connections, the so-called
