Animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, animal research and in vivo testing, is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study.

This approach can be contrasted with field studies in which animals are observed in their natural environments.

Experimental research with animals is usually conducted in universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, defense establishments and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry.

The focus of animal testing varies on a continuum from pure research, done with little regard to the uses to which understanding may be put, to applied research, which may focus on answering some question of great practical importance, such as finding a cure for a disease.

Examples of applied research include testing, breeding, defense research and toxicology, including cosmetics testing.

In education, animal testing is sometimes a component of biology or psychology courses.

The practice is regulated to varying degrees in different countries.

Parabens are a class of widely used preservatives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

Chemically, they are a series of parahydroxybenzoates or esters of parahydroxybenzoic acid (also known as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid).

These compounds, and their salts, are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties.

They can be found in shampoos, commercial moisturizers, shaving gels, personal lubricants, topical/parenteral pharmaceuticals, spray tanning solution, makeup, and toothpaste.

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a structure and the using of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.

In other words, green building design involves finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment.

This requires close cooperation of the design team, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages.

The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
