Emerald ash borer

Emerald Ash Borer in Wisconsin Veronica Williams, Andy Lundin, Balin Magee, Zach Smola Ash trees are a very common and beautiful tree in Wisconsin, and they are used by many people for their lumber. There is a nuisance attacking and destroying the ash tree, and that is the infestation of the invasive Emerald Ash Borer, or EAB. The adult beetles do little harm to the tree by just eating their foliage, but their larvae burrow beneath the bark of the tree and restrict the tree’s ability to transport nutrients and water. The process takes anywhere from 1-5 years and the infestation is usually widespread in an area. Humans are the main cause of the spread of EAB, and it is very important to be educated on the issue to help preserve our ash…

problem that Ohio is currently facing and has dealt with for an extended period of time is the invasion of Emerald Ash Borer. The ash tree-killing insect was brought to the United States from Asia and has been recorded in the state since 2003. Ohio has over 3.8 billion ash trees and the pest is a severe threat to their livelihood. Emerald Ash Borer originally was observed near Toledo, but has expanded to nearly all four corners of the state. A quarantine was placed when the insect first…

Look for branches breaking near the trunk, slits in the bark, woodpecker injury and chewed on foliage on ash trees. “EAB can wreak havoc in your cemetery, causing huge risk and budgetary issues. Spot EAB warning signs early. Or, you risk losing 15 to 30 percent of all the trees on your property within 3 to 5 years,” cautioned Borkowicz. If you spot a tree risk, call a trained arborist for help. “Preventive tree care can save thousands of dollars in potential damage or tree removal later on,”…

The car was ready for our trip to Emerald Isle North Carolina. My brother Will and I argued on who would sit in the “hump” in the car. The “hump” was the tightest, most cramped and the seat that can’t adjust in the middle of the two awesome window seats. Will even tried to get my older brother Danny who was almost 15 to sit in that seat! “I have been sitting in that seat for 13 hours for 14 years! No way Will!” Danny complained. Annoyed, I held my breathe and volunteered to sit in the awful…

once, and it lets them get the full effect of the scene. The Close-up angle is one of the most important because viewers get to see the full emotion of the character in play. People are allowed to see the reaction and emotion in Dorothy’s face when she learns that a timer determines when she will die. The lighting in this scene also helps set an almost evil impression in the witch’s castle. Down lighting is used the most in this scene to create shadows on the witches face to help create and evil…

It can be used architecturally by being the exterior support of a building, or by being the exterior itself. It can be used interiorly by being incorporated into the floor, walls, ceiling, furniture, etc. Concrete can be colored, textured, and can have aggregate added to it. The possibilities are never ending. The basic recipe of concrete is portland cement, water, and…

Abstract: The study investigated the workability, and compressive strength properties of the concrete produced by replac-ing 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of ordinary Portland cement with Sawdust Ash (SDA). Slump test was carried out on the fresh concrete and compressive strength test on hardened concrete. The concrete cubes were tested at the ages of 3, 7, 14 & 28 days. The results showed that Sawdust Ash is good with use in cement. The slump decreased as the Sawdust Ash content increased…

According to historians this celebration is dated back thousands of years ago to pagan celebrations of spring and fertility. Also including the raucous Roman festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia and when Christianity moved in to that area When Christianity arrived in Rome religious leaders decided to merge these popular local traditions into the new faith an easier task than abolishing them altogether.
