He also adds on by stating that “Garden beds improve growing conditions for plants by lifting their roots above the soil”. Providing us with a simple but key explanation of why plants seem to grow faster if planted in garden beds. Hayes says that, “The soil in beds that are raised warms up earlier in the spring and is innovated by certain grasses and by the tree roots”. Recommending several steps to construct a raised garden bed. First, decide where it will be located the higher the…
Believe it or not, some plants can feel just like us, but even better, thanks to thigmotropism. Thigmotropism is a plant’s way of touching, or feeling. Thigmotropism is one of the tropisms, in which plants use to react with their environments. “Scientifically defined, it is the directional response of a plant organ to touch or physical contact with a solid object (1).” When a plant comes into contact with an object of a solid state, the response is to curl around it. “A Morning Glorie’s sense of…

trees and shrubs that have adapted to living in saltwater environments. They are propped up, out of the water, by dense, tangled roots that allow them to obtain oxygen in oxygen poor sediments. Their roots also allow the tree to remain supported during the rise and fall of the tides. They slow down water movement which allows for sediment to build up within the roots, which may help to stabilize coastlines and reduce erosion from different weather conditions such as storms, currents, waves…
where sixty percent of leafy area had been removed, the dye had not moved as far up. When we reduced the leaf area, we removed the stomata, which are important for transpiration. Leaves are covered with pores called stomata. Water is taken up by the roots or bottom of the leaf in this case, and is…
Simultaneous Optimization of Arithmetic Average Roughness (Ra), Geometric Average Roughness (Rq) and Ten Point Height Average Roughness (Rz) Using TOPSIS The present work is to explore the effect of EDM process parameters on the surface roughness characteristics Ra, Rq and Rz. For the experimentation, twenty seven alternatives of EDM process parameters, Pulse on time (TON), Pulse off time (TOFF), Wire Tension (WT) and Wire Feed (WF) were considered as per the Taguchi’s standard L27 Orthogonal…

volunteering with American Public Square. I have completed around eleven hours so far and have been helping at events hosted by the group. At events I have helped attendants find seats, passed out programs, collected questions from the audience, tracked demographics, and cleaned up once attendees have left. While my acts have seemed small to me, those putting on the programs have said these little things amount to a large burden off their shoulders. From American Public Squares website it is an…
Communal Areas Cleaning London Do you own a large commercial property, student property, flat share or office block? If you do, then you will have to address cleaning communal areas. The reason is because you must provide residents or visitors to such property with healthy living conditions that stand up to certain standards. You could try and take on such task on your own, but odds are it will be too large a job. By outsourcing the job to a communal areas cleaning company, you can take the…
hypothesized that amount of time spent each day consuming news will be associated with gender, specifically that a greater proportion of females will view 1-2 or 3-4 hours of news compared to the proportion of males who view the same amount of news. A chi-square test of independence is used because the independent (i.e., gender) and dependent (i.e., time spent consuming news) variables are both nominal/categorical and the hypothesis is testing whether there is a significant difference in the…
