In this study, we explored many different hypotheses that were investigated in previous research. The purpose of this research was to compare the different mechanisms seen in beech-maple forests, specifically in Warren Woods. The different mechanisms included lottery competition, coexistence, and habitat preference. It was hypothesized, that when it comes to lottery competition, that either the beech tree or maple tree would exhibit a “winner takes all” distribution. It was expected that seedlings
Questions 1. Why did you choose Alaska to run off to? Throughout my quest I traveled from the east to the west looking for the ultimate adventure but I need some place to start before I jump into the wild. I did a lot of traveling before I ran into Alaska, which many people think I did but that is incorrect. It was about 2 years into my quest that I tried to tackle Alaska, in my mind Alaska is the harshest environment and would be the ultimate test for me to survive. 2. What were some
Winter Concert Review: Slavonic Legend One of the pieces that was played in the Arts Academy Charter Middle School Winter Concert was Slavonic Legend. Slavonic Legend was composed and arranged by Elliot Del Borgo. In this piece there was good balance, intonation, and interpretation. Balance is when all the different parts are played clearly and together. Intonation is if the pitch matches to the correct sound. Last is interpretation, which includes dynamics, style, phrasing and articulation of
In the summer my brother, Daniel, and I were extremely bored. Back then Daniel and I were really close. Now we don’t talk or hang out a lot like we used to. We decided to grab some ziploc baggies. Daniel wanted to collect different kinds of insects in the baggies. “Here, Monica, how about we go into the backyard and collect some bugs so we can create a type of secret club.” Daniel said. I didn’t really think it was a good idea since I hated bugs in the first place. Instead of questioning Daniel
The height of the specimen in dry state (H), the measured vertical swell after wetting (H) and the calculated relative swell (H/H) are listed in Table 3 for each cycle. The height of the specimens versus time in plotted in Fig.1, Fig.3, Fig. 5, for MSB, DPH GCL (DW) and DPH GCL (NSW), respectively. The height was not measured during the drying phases; therefore, the dashed lines are just graphical estimates. During the first wetting, the vertical swell of the MSB specimen was of 1.78 mm (32% of
In the Lake of the Woods is about ghosts, personal and national, and about the impossibility of escaping them. Author Tim O’Brien poured much of his own likeness into protagonist John Wade. Wade grew up in Minnesota and like O’Brien, he served in Vietnam so he could maintain or get more love from his peers and family. Like O’Brien, he likely committed some wartime sins and like O’Brien, he cannot escape the past. However we see a key difference between the two mean as O’Brien confronts his personal
Forest is a natural resource, which mostly constitute of huge trees. Forest is a major part of a country. The forestry and wood Industry, considers the usage of wood because of how rapid wood is being used in construction. Sustainable means to maintain something without losing its value or richness. Materials are items, which are used for specific things or aid in achieving an idea and also help to facilitate something. “Sustainable forestry means managing our forest resources to meet the needs
“’The next time you work on your trees, don’t think about trees. Think about love, or hate, or joy, or pain – whatever makes you feel something, makes your palms sweat, or your toes curl. Focus on that feeling.’”(122) In the book speak there are many examples of symbolism. The one that stands out the most is the tree as it is mentioned very frequently in almost every chapter of the book. It represents that growth that she goes through as a character from the beginning of the book to the end and her
For my design I will do a student desk that will be more efficient for the students to work on. The age range for the desk can be from third-graders to any age student. For the desk I will be creating, the gender does not matter. The occupation for my desk will be for students to work on and also have extra things to meet their needs. This desk I will be creating could be for anyone, ranging from an amateur to a professional. The desk could be for non-disabled students to disabled students. The target
I sprinted. I sprinted until my lungs burned, and my legs just couldn’t move anymore. I began to quiver with exhaustion. I knew he was still back there. Somewhere, hiding with his knife. Watching. I’d barely escaped with my life, he knew it and I knew it. I knew he was still on to me. Waiting until the perfect moment for when I wasn’t quite paying enough attention. He’d catch me off guard. I peer around, looking for a quick escape route through the tall dark trees. Granted, I could hide, but I’m
