Urban trees provide a wide range of environmental, ecological, social, cultural and economic benefits. However, as natural objects, they are constantly under stress, and living in an unnatural habitat, which will primarily affect the tree crown. In this study, the Diameter at Breast Height (DBH), Crown Live Ratio (LCR), Crown Dieback (CDBK), Crown Transparency (CT), and Crown Chlorosis (CC) of trees at University of Toronto – St. George campus were assessed by field measurements and Google…

Prior to the commencement of the experiment, several hypotheses were made in regards to the efficacy of different household antibacterial products on two species of bacteria. The first hypothesis predicted that the most afflicted species of bacteria would be Staphylococcus aureus; the second suggested that products A and C would be more effective at killing both species of bacteria than product B; whilst the third hypothesis proposed that product A would be most active against S.aureus. The…

Civil Engineering in Rome Engineering was a profession in Rome, and almost all of the things that were engineered would today fall under the category of civil engineering. They constructed many things throughout their time as an empire. With such an extensive empire, they had to make sure they could take care of the people in their empire.

grained soils  III. Disscussion and Conclusion Every zone has its principal purpose and function of a dam to achieve the basic objectives. The core zone needs to have an impermeable barrier as it is the body of the dam. To hold the body, it needs impervious soils. In addition, it needs to avoid soils that have high compressibility and high plasticity index as theyare easily swelled and cracked. The stability zones are between the cores, so, it needs to protect the core. The materials needed…

Abrasive action may cause damage to the outer surface of the eye. Skin: Slightly to moderately irritating. May cause irritation and inflammation due to mechanical abrasive action of sharp broken fibre ends. Inhaled: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Pre-existing respiratory problems may be…

History of Dams, Locks and Levees The conception of dams, locks and levees. Water is an essential resource which life depends on. Civilizations in the past have evolved to exist around water as it provides a source of food, transportation, and trade. However, people realized that they were unable to extract the potential that water as a resource had. Thus, in order to harness energy of water, to use it as means of transportation and to utilize hoard of other benefits of a resource like water and…
