    The whitebark pine is a five needled conifer that occurs typically in high elevation, upper subalpine habitats ranging from timberline, where it may occur as stunted krummholz, down to closed subalpine forest (COSEWIC 2010). Whitebark pine is prevalent in the coastal mountain regions of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California, and in the Rocky Mountain ranges of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Nevada. This species is geographically isolated due its specific habitat qualities. Whitebark

    2014). Temperature changes over Hawaiʻi are expected to exceed the current daily maximum values by the end of the 21st century (Lauer et al., 2013). Mountainous tropical islands in the Hawaiian archipelago are showing greater warming than the lower elevations (Giambelluca et al. 2008; Diaz et al. 2011, 2014). Observed surface air temperature trends can also be used to test regionally downscaled climate models. The goal of this thesis is to analyze climate data to assess possible trends that are likely

    steps for implementing the new practice, and support this change in practice with current literature. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines regarding patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) seek to reduce variation in practice and improve outcomes for this patient population (O 'Gara et al., 2013). Current evidence-based practice includes immediate reperfusion therapy to the involved coronary artery in

    The Galapagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean at 960 km to the west of mainland South America. The total area of the ecoregion is 7,882 km2 and encompasses 13 islands larger than 10 km2, 19 larger than 1 km2, 42 islets smaller than 1 km2 and at least 26 emergent rocks. The water currents that surround the islands influence in the climate. From May to December prevails the Garúa (misty) or dry season as a result of the cool Humboldt Current influence. In this season the temperature is cool

    condition in 100 years. The school that would have the best view for the observation tower would be Northview Elementary school. This school has an elevation above sea level of 835 feet. Benjamin Franklin Middle School has an elevation of 796 feet above sea level. Hayes-Leonard Elementary school has an elevation of 728 above sea level. As seen in these elevations, Northview would have the highest view point, with the added 40 feet of the observation tower, for the children to view the weather patterns and

    Exponential Growth is shaped in a J-form, this type of growth curve occurs when supplies and materials to a specific population are abundant. Since usually environments are not idealized and resources are limited, exponential growth curve doesn’t occur as much as a logistic growth curve. Logistic growth is a type of growth curve,in a S-form, that occurs more often in an environment. Since each environment has a carrying capacity,which is the number of individuals from a population an environment

    Results: A Strategy For Modeling Salton Sea Basin Future Climate Scenarios Based On Relationships Between Evapotranspiration And Precipitation A comparison of the averaged weather station datasets versus the historic individual weather station datasets was made for both precipitation and Eto. The averaged monthly dataset preserved seasonality for both precipitation and Eto as illustrated in the figures. Notably, for the months of February, March, and April, the average monthly precipitation volume

    to finding how tall an item is, however, it is quite difficult to be completely accurate with the objects that I utilized. First, I needed to build a clinometer with a straw, protractor, and string, which was used to find the angle of elevation. “The angle of elevation is the angle formed by a horizontal line and a line of sight to a point above the line”(Rehill), and in this specific scenario, the point is the top of the barn. Furthermore, I then measured the distance from the barn to where I was
