1.0 Introduction Data collection on Bruny Island yielded several readings associated with climate, topography, and GPS. These readings have been analysed using visual techniques before refining to report on the reasoning behind the different trends in the datasets. As Bruny Island experiences (a general) North-Westerly wind direction, it became evident that vegetation and the topography of one sand dune transect would impose an effect on the recorded wind speed (or velocity) readings. The…

10 out of 10 people agreed that owning a pet helps the emotional well-being of an individual. The average stress level of participants was 3.6 on a 5 point scale. The average score on the frequency of illness was 2.7 on a 5 point scale. The average interaction score with a pet was 1.8 on a 5 point scale. 4 out of 5 pet owners agree that having a pet helps to cope with stress and 3 out of the 5 participants that do not own pets also agree that pets can help manage stress. Procedure…

Personal Philosophy After completing the leadership inventory, I came to find that I had equal amounts of each of the four leadership styles. Personally, I thought my primary leadership style was analytical and my secondary leadership style was supportive. I did not see myself as being directive or adaptive, so I was surprised at the results. By having equal amounts of all four leadership styles, I will be able to use all the different characteristics of these leadership styles to aid in my…

uniform—rather, each hurricane is a collection of individual storms. Hurricane season runs from June to November, but most occur between August and October (“Hurricanes,” 2013). Each hurricane is ranked on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane damage Potential scale, from a Category 1 to a Category 5; those Category 3 and larger are called major hurricanes (Abbott,…

causes great destruction. The diameter of a tornado varies from a few feet to a mile; the rotating winds may attain velocities of 200 to 300 mi (320–480 km) per hr, and the updraft at the center may reach 200 mi per hr. The Enhanced Fujita scale is the standard scale for rating the severity of a tornado as measured by the damage it causes. A tornado is usually accompanied by thunder, lightning, heavy rain, and a loud "freight train" noise. In comparison with a cyclone or hurricane, a tornado…

Exclusively, students will build up a bunch of small-scale assemblages of tectonic drawn at 1:50 scale, and in isometric, with 30 degree angles x and y axes. The components that include a regular infrastructural layer in the urban space: vehicles, bus-stops, steps, portions, swimming pools, road signs, traffic lights, footbridges…

Likeability is going to be something that causes individuals to judge other individuals. One thing about likeability is going to be different judgments towards something. It does not matter if those individuals like a given topic or give situation. I have give four examples to support that likeability can change depending on the situation. The effects of service dogs on social acknowledgments of people in wheelchairs (Obermiller et al., 2011) showed that people make judgments on people in a…

nutrients and health-improving compounds like: Vitamins A 5 g serving of cayenne pepper contains almost half the vitamin A an adult needs on a daily basis. Cayenne pepper may contain more vitamin A than any other spice; it contains more than five times the amount found in marjoram, a herb known to be rich in vitamin A. This…

supercell caused 363 tornadoes to touch down in several states within a four day period. On April 27th alone, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed over 200 tornadoes touched down that ranked between F-0 and F-6 on the Fujita scale. This record breaking phenomenon resulted in the deaths of 348 people with damages estimating over $11 billion dollars. Due to the magnitude of the outbreak, National Weather Services assigned several teams to not only investigate the…

catastrophic EF5 multiple-vortex tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri in the late afternoon of Sunday, May 22, 2011. “The Enhanced F-scale, or EF scale, is a set of wind estimates (not measurements) based on damage” (Enhanced Fujita Tornado Damage Scale). The Joplin tornado reached wind speeds of at least 200 mph, putting the tornado at the highest part of the scale. The tornado rapidly intensified and tracked eastward across the city, and then…
