Tallgrass Research Paper

Improved Essays
Today, at an archaeological site on the West side of the ancient town of Mt. Pleasant, in a living complex known as Tallgrass, we have made an interesting and rare discovery. We have found an artifact only seen a few times. This artifact is mostly black, with some raised buttons of varying color, including grey, green, red, and yellow. There is an emblem that appears to be painted onto the front of a flaming circle, with two lines separating the circle into four pieces. The object seems to have handles on the left and ride sides, with the rest of the body arching between the handles in an upward fashion. On a lower level connected to the arch are a series of directional buttons, as well as a movable stick. The total horizontal width is about 5.5 inches, and it is 4 inches tall, while being 2.5 inches thick. Connected to the back, there is a cord that is about 10 feet in length, which was originally wrapped around the main body when we found it. At the end of the cord, there is …show more content…

Melee, bearing similar markings, we can conclude that it was mostly used in tandem with this object, an ancient video game. Further views into the fit of the buttons of the controller while being held indicate that while it would be comfortable to use this while gaming, yet prolonged exposure to quick button presses may cause hand injuries to occur. The fittest people of the generation must have been using

    Kenneth Jackson contends in Crabgrass Frontier, that the development of the skyscraper with the telephone and elevator emphasized the vigor of the American city in the 19th century, “but the extraordinary prosperity and vitality of most urban cores between 1890 and 1950 cannot be understood without reference to the streetcar systems.” Unlike cable cars or the railroad, streetcars highlighted the business district and connected the people to the heart of the city. The streetcar enabled mobilization so people had more choices about where to live which triggered growth outside of the city. Jackson further illustrates this point stating, “the tracks radiated out from the center like spokes on a wheel, tying residential areas far distant to the…

    Ragweed Correlations While the partial correlations of the allergy skin test neutralization levels of many patients are statistically useful suggestions, they do not necessarily show cross-reactivity. Our next step is to conduct specific laboratory experiments to show us if the suggested cross-reactivity between a pair of correlating antigens actually exists. We needed ragweed antibodies for our lab tests so we purchased several vials of ragweed antigen and used one of these to produce rabbit antibodies at a collaborating lab.…

Indigenous relationships with the peopled universe emphasize environmental values and a way of being that holds strong to cultural values. Colonizers desperately tried to erase this deeply rooted culture, but it is hard to erase a link so completely tied to the land. Deeply embedded in each native person’s pedagogy is history, collective trauma, the reverberating effects of genocide and colonization, and yet Native peoples are resilient, proving strength time and time again.…

    The physiological processes of a mammal are in a unique balance where any deviation from the normal can result in a pathological condition. For example, mammals require a continuous intake of nutrients to ensure that every vital process can be maintained. If these processes are not maintained; the organism will begin to absorb its own nutrients, thereby reducing the availability of resources within the organism (Odette, 2005). An organism that is absorbing its own nutrients will be unable to sufficiently complete the numerous processes that are necessary for its continued functioning and thus, the organism will begin to experience symptoms associated with malnutrition. If the malnutrition is prolonged, the organism will develop comorbidities as a result of the decreased resource…
