Midterm Exam 1. The leaf cutter ant community is a large amazing system that contains many different species that interact with each other on many different levels. Although many things take place during this extraordinary symbiosis, there are a few keystone mutualists within this leaf-cutter ant community that without them, the results would be almost catastrophic. For one, fungi are extremely important to the ants. Specifically, the fungus Lepiotaceae . The ants cultivate this fungus and…

When I went to see the international spelling bee I expected what you would of some run down high school version of a play. At my school we didn’t really have a vast drama club so my expectations were sort of low for this piece. It was kind of like when you go to attend a film in theatres you see all of these commercials and then attend the movie to just rewatch the key parts that they already presented to you in the commercial. One does not have this with live theatre I did not know what to…

“Ariel” Sylvia Plath’s Ariel is one of the most renowned collections of poetry from the twentieth century. These poems were written during the last years of Plath’s life before she committed suicide and gives us a unique insight into the inner workings of her mind. Her estranged husband and fellow poet, Ted Hughes, published Ariel in 1965 after Plath’s suicide. In these poems Plath transcends to become her true self; the tone is cool, amused, bitter, and unnervingly charming. This collection is…

described in these particular ancient poems that we read in class. Let 's start with discussing Book Four of Virgil 's Georgics. In this part of the epic poem, Virgil talks of the life of a bee and everything that it does in order to survive and live. One of the first things that Virgil mentions is that a bee 's state is a "tiny state of high-hearted princes... a whole nation 's ordered works and ways,…

tumblr blog, and I decided to include them here. Honey Bee: This bath bomb is moisturizing and it made my skin feel so soft. The bomb also has a great honey scent. However, since the bomb is yellow, the water turned an unappealing color, but I expected that. I also believe the price is decent for this bomb and I would highly recommend purchasing it. $6.55 at Lush Rate: 9/10 Butterball: This bath bomb is about half the size of the Honey Bee one, but it is as moisturizing. This bomb has…

numbers (Fibonacci, n.d.). Rabbits were not the only application of Fibonacci numbers. Another interesting application was with honey bees. I did not realize if a bee lays an egg unfertilized, a male bee is born which results in one parent but, if a female bee is born it is due to a male fertilizing the egg resulting in the female bee having two parents (Brock, 2013). The result of this phenomenon is getting…

What once used to be a delicious treat, is now the leading problem for obesity. Studies have shown that fast-food increases the risk of becoming overweight. For example, Shannon Brownlee’s article in The Sacramento Bee, “It’s Portion Distortion That Makes America Fat,” argues that the restaurant industry and food packagers have helped give many Americans the “roly-poly” shape they have today. Fast-food purveyors supersize their food which brings profit to their industry, while the patrons are…

Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of combinatorial optimization problems. X TSP is NP-hard problem which defined as a set of cities and each city should be visited once with minimum tour length. This paper solved this problem using Firefly Algorithm (FA) and k-means clustering by three steps: cluster the nodes, finding optimal path in each cluster and connect the clusters. The first step is to divide all nodes into sub-problems using k-means clustering, the second step is to use FA to find…

As one of Emily Dickinson’s few poems that were published during her life, “I taste a liquor never brewed” explores the complexity of nature and its intoxicating power. Dickinson employs an extended metaphor of drunkenness to convey the captivation that the beauty of nature provides (“Overview”). Written in alternating verses of iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter, four quatrains comprise the entirety of this lyrical poem. All of the verses follow this pattern with the exception of verse 15:…

play a huge role in crime rates. The Fresno Bee states that due to the bankruptcy in 2012 for Stockton, the rate of crime increased. This bankruptcy “forced to lay off almost 25% of its police force.” With a smaller police force, there is no doubt that people are a lot bolder to take action and commit crimes. With this bankruptcy in Stockton, it reached a new “record high for homicides—6 so far, 10 more than the previous record last year.” (The Fresno Bee, “Stockton 's financial policies lead to…
