During her first semester, she goes on a field trip to the local caverns. There her class watches hibernating bats. While they are visiting these caverns, they learn that this is the sight where a disease called White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) was first documented. White-Nose Syndrome, a disease in bats, affects species in Eastern North America
Further, a hibernating primate, the lemuriform Cheirogaleus medius(Fat-tailed dwarf lemur) in specific, will be examined because hibernation has a direct correlation with hypothermia and reduced metabolic-rate. This primate was used because it is known to experience lengthy periods of hibernation and lives in a temperate climate of Madagascar. It is hypothesized that hibernation has not only a direct relationship with these two factors, but specifically that metabolic rate will dramatically decrease and
Can we live forever? In the video I watched narrated by Neil Tyson, an astrophysicist, he explained the many possible ways that we could. In this interesting video a man has been able to put two point seven million miles on his car. When I heard that I didn’t believe it and I was confused at how that had anything to do with living a longer life or just living forever. The man who drove the car explained that if something is wrong fix it. It is just that simple. When I thought about this further the
these traditional ways. Therefore the feelings to want to become nomadic are clashing with the feelings of following tradition’s ways. “Brumal” means wintry. O’Hara is using this as a metaphor with the direct meaning being waking up from winter hibernation, but the deeper meaning is the realization or awakening of the need to break away from traditional ways. “Ferine” means wild and “strain” in this case means type. When O’Hara uses ferine as an adjective to describe strain, he is referring to the
Introduction Aestivation is derived from Latin: aestas, summer, but also spelled aestivation in American English is a state of animal dormancy, similar to hibernation, characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions. It takes place during times of heat and dryness, the hot dry season, which are often the summer months. [1] Mechanism of Aestivation Invertebrate and vertebrate animals are known to enter this state to avoid
This situation with this family is sad because I think the family was unaware of the unventilated gas heater. They could have checked items in the home before hibernation in order to prevent things like this from happening to them while they were sleeping. Carbon Monoxide is

Attention Getter: With the economy the way it is now and all that’s happening with the oil spill each and every one of us needs to put effort into saving the environment and our wildlife. The blame for global warming, landfills, and pollution rests in our hands. 2. Listener Relevance
However, after I looked at it upon completion of reading, I appreciated it more than when I read it the first time. When you take second look, it made me understand the reading better. Moreover, the flow of the book was well organized, with the outline of the whole book coming after the introduction, and the remainder of the book broken down verse-by-verse, which brings the
back from my classmates. This helped improve confidence and all other aspects of me speaking in front of a crowd. I felt as if the outlines helped me a lot. They gave me a basic idea of what I need to do and say. They also helped me organize my thoughts and help me stay on track. The quizzes also helped me understand the topics and why we needed to set up the outline the way we do. It also helped me understand what was most important in the speech and what I should focus most on. When you gave sample
On 11/13/XX, I provided you with an outline of what I expected in this overview document because I had previously explained what I expected several times and you hadn 't delivered it. As you know, I have wanted to review this document with Tim for over a month and it is delaying the approval of the hardware portion of the LAN. The review meeting that was held today with Ren, Hall, and Kerry was a waste of our time. And, it was obvious that you had made only minor corrections to his document, since
