A common but good piece of advice about avoiding termite problems is removing dead wood, dying trees, and other termite wood temptations off your yard. However, there is another temptation for subterranean termites: wet soil. Subterranean termites are a highly invasive and destructive species that are drawn to moist soil. Whether a storm turns your yard into a swamp, or a small water source is creating a localized wet patch of ground near your house, both conditions invite termites into your…

One frequently discussed implication of neoliberalism is a movement towards collaborative community processes as an alternative to traditional top down resource management and regulatory actions by the state. Some suggest that in certain contexts, devolved government processes, such as collaborative or community management, allow powerful capital interests to co-opt democratic processes for further accumulation while circumventing traditional regulatory enforcement (Purcell 2009). These devolved…

With the fashion industry being of the major pollutants of the bodies of water, the textile-processing exposes people and the nature to harmful chemicals. In fact, there are 72 emitted toxic elements during textile manufacturing as recognized by the World Bank (Anguelov, 2016). According to Kant, that out of the 72 toxic elements, 42 of these can be under the partial purification process that does not eliminate their toxicity level rather minimize it (as cited in Anguelov, 2016). Obviously, 30…

Governments make decisions everyday with hopes of improving and/or maintaining the economy. Every president, dictator, or prime minister has advisors to help him or her make the correct decision every time. An economic advisor for the government must have a thorough understanding of effects decisions will have on the economy.

The landscape study area into which the proposed medium-density suburban patch is to be inserted is a 180km2 portion of land with its centre located approximately 6 kilometres south of the Brisbane CBD (refer to Figure 1). Consisting of a mix of developed and undeveloped land, the area in question is typical of much of the greater Brisbane region. Viewed through the lens of the P-C-M model, it is dominated by a relatively homogenous matrix of medium-density development interspersed with patches…

Lake George is an Endorheic lake, as it has no outflow of water to rivers and oceans. The lake is believed to be more than a million years old. Originally, small streams drained its catchment into the Yass River, but then the Lake George Escarpment rose due to major crustal movement along a strong fault line, blocking this drainage and forming the lake.[1] Lake George has in previous Ice Ages been much larger and deeper.[citation needed] The thickness of sediment beneath the lake exceeds 250…

The question “Should the government intervene in the market for ride sharing?” is heavily debated. In order to answer this question, we must first understand the technique used by the economists in Freakonomics to estimate demand. Demand is the willingness and ability of buyers to purchase different quantities of a good or service at different prices, during a specific time period. The key to estimating a demand curve is to fluctuate the prices while keeping the consumer pool constant (having…
