Grassland

Leguminoseae (Fabaceae) it is known in Mexico as huizachillo. In the USA, ground tamarind and mimosa. It is a perennial legume that grows in summer on clay soils that receive 500 to 750 mm of water; it is resistant to neutral pH and grows in large areas of grasslands. It is productive and drought tolerant. It grows in tropics and subtropics, still reasonably cold tolerant and although it is defoliated by frost, this regrowth of crowns once there is enough moisture. Under heavy grazing…

The model I created is a depiction of the world of Erilea. The main continent on which the Throne of Glass series happens. The map shows the full continent of Erilea from the northern Frozen Wastes and Terrasen to the Deserted Land and Eyllwe in the South. Starting In the upper left-hand side of the map I created the lands of the Frozen Wastes, complete with a mountain chain. This area even has the Ruins of Morla and the Jungle of Morla. Down from here is the land called the Western Wastes. This…

Introduction The common name of the Vulpes vulpes is the red fox. The red fox has a relatively long body with dense fur. The fur is typically a rusty red color and the legs are darker in color, sometimes even black. Foxes have black pointed ears and long canine teeth. On their underside, the fur is white from their nose down to their belly, orangish-red fur on its back, sides, and head. Red foxes have white fur under their neck and on their chest. A male fox, also called a “dog” weighs…

H annelore Bauer’s sister, the thirteen year old Ingeborg “Inge” Bauer, was lugging around a rectangular wooden box with two attached straps, allowing her to carry the box on her back. Long past nightfall, a full moon illuminating the nighttime sky was enough lighting for her. With not a single oncoming vehicle in sight, she crossed an empty countryside road in the Midwest, towards a ditch. Adelburger Walther Schäffer and FVL leaders Lucas Fields, Preston Connelly, and Gudruna Hurley were…

Forensic science, known as forensics, is the application of science to law by analyzing DNA for legal evidence. DNA profiling is the predominant application and forensic science, DNA profiling allows us to take more than one sample of an unknown DNA specimen and determine if it has the same genetic match. Moreover, DNA profiling is to help determine and solve crime scenes such as murders, assaults, and rapes. The technique used for analyzing DNA is restriction fragment length polymorphism…

When discussing the American West, one cannot carry on a conversation without mentioning the Native Americans. They played many roles throughout American history. In the west they played several. American Indians opened up the west by helping explorers, elevated the horse in their culture to an iconic status, changed the ecological balance in many places throughout the west, proved to the U.S. and Mexico that they were a force to be reckoned with. First, the Native Americans played an important…

Jul 27, 2016- I gave up biology in high school. For a guy like me, who possibly draws the worst diagrams and finds it difficult to memorise even the characteristics of phylum, biology was not my cup of tea. But my love and interest for animals have always been the same—entirely pure and spontaneous. Nature’s creations are one of the things that astound me the most; nature is a perpetual source for divine creativity of which I am only a mere admirer and a weak connoisseur. The creation of tigers,…

Kane & Selsis (2014) proposed a modified Drake equation, originally intended as a “necro-biological” solution for the Fermi Paradox, involving pathogenic zombie apocalypses, signified by a measurable increase in greenhouse gas emissions (particularly CO2, H2S, NH4, and CH4) due to the rotting of zombified sophonts and their domesticated animals. While the report itself was in fact a practical joke (there are no real life mechanisms for a zombie apocalypse), it did call to attention serious…

the eye could see. Ravens circled above and fallen war flags fluttered below. Where am I? Taking care not to step on any of the corpses, he walked across the war-torn hell-scape. His deathly pale skin contrasted with the bloodied and scorched grassland, and, unlike the butchered bodies scattered around him, he was completely naked. “I found a live one over here!" Turning toward the voice, he saw, at a distance, two knights in golden…

Wind energy is killing our planet. There are positive and negative effects to every innovation. When hearing wind energy, most people think it is a cleaner, better alternative over burning fossil fuels. However, wind energy possesses its own unique set of faults. Wind turbines are as unpredictable as the changing winds. Yes, while they do produce power for direct use, they have no guarantee to ensure that the wind will turn the massive turbines during the electrical use hours. When high winds…
