Double harmonic scale

Animal deaths, especially from anthropogenic causes, are valuable indicators of ecological and conservation problems that span a particular population (Collins 2011). Deer mortalities are no exception to this rule of thumb, as deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) are a growing problem in the US and reflect the displacement of deer populations. Over 1 million DVCs occur in the US annually and result in the loss of human life, human injury, and considerable financial costs resulting from the vehicle…

Methods Field Methods This study was carried out on a rocky scar below Ravenscar, North Yorkshire (54°24'27.82"N, 0°29'31.45"W). This scar stretches out into the sea and acts as a wind break from prevailing winds. Most of the scar is covered by water during high tide, but during low tide a different percentage of the scar is uncovered depending on whether it is a neap (~40% uncovered) or spring tide (~90% uncovered). This survey, to determine the haul out behaviour of the Ravenscar seal colony,…

SWIS data As I start to review the SWIS data my hope would be that the number of aggressive referrals would start to go down. I would like to see a downward trend in the number of aggressive referrals during recess time. I would build a spread sheet that would show the number of referrals before the structured recess was implemented, then the number of referrals half way through the implementation period, and then the final numbers at the conclusion of the research project. The hope is that…

Erik Larson, Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History. New York: Crown Publishers, 1999. 323 pages In the 1900’s, the chief weather man Isaac Cline thought the city of Galveston, Texas was untouchable by anything. In 1900, an immaculate hurricane hit this city. Water levels rose almost two stories high, and houses and cars were ripped from the ground. In “Isaacs Storm” Isaac Cline is telling stories of what happened during the storm, and the aftermath of it all.…

provide a stance on the subject. Rather, the purpose is to question the moral distinction between physician aid in dying and the doctrine of double effect. Through defining these two terms and analyzing medical cases where killing a patient is morally permissible, I argue that there is no moral distinction between physician aid in dying and the doctrine of double effect. Originating from “Thomas Aquinas’…discussion of the permissibility of self-defense in the…

corruption ran deep into the government, and every official had suspicions about the others leaking information to the enemy. People were afraid, distrustful, and would resort to anything to save themselves. This is exactly what made Juan Pujol Garcia, a double agent for the MI5, so special in the eyes of others. He was a role model in both his actions and words, and was a beacon of hope for those…

Simmons and Sutter examined the impact of the installation of Doppler radar on the quality of tornado warnings and occurrence of tornado casualties. The researchers provided information on what Doppler radars were used, such as the Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and WSR-88D radars. The NEXRAD radar system has 159 radars in the United States (U.S.) and overseas, as well as 121 radars installed at National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast offices. The NEXRAD system is used to monitor and…

According to Enhanced Fujita Scale, the tornadoes in the United States and Canada can be rated in six categories: EF0, EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4 and EF5. Scale Wind speed (mph) Rating classifications EF0 65–85 Weak EF1 86–110 Weak EF2 111–135 Strong and significant EF3 136–165 Strong, significant and intense EF4 166–200 Violent, significant and intense EF5 >200 Violent, significant and intense Figure 1. The six categories of tornadoes of the Enhanced Fujita Scale EF5 tornadoes have happened in the…

My 8th-grade experience at High Meadows. Eighth grade was one of my most chaotic in a well-balanced way yet, the best year of my school life, I had issues and stress during 8th grade, but I also had ambition and desire to finish it. I decided to sign up for the field trip to High Meadows, some people were grumpy that it was the same exact field trip destination as last year. I did not mind of course because this is probably the last time I see that place. In short, every field trip or vacation…
