Introduction: Microclimate is the difference in climate that occurs on a very small scale. Microclimate can be created because of altitude, aspect, vegetation, color of the ground, and boulders and burrows. Aspect is created in the presence of topographic features like hills, mountains, and valleys. In the Northern Hemisphere, the north-facing slopes are cooler because they receive less sun than the south-facing slopes. Since they receive less sun, they are also moister due to decreased…

correctly date ancient artifacts. The available methods allow them to accurately date objects that are hundreds of years old up to a few million years old. Dating methods are used to find out about how old an artifact may be, or how old it is exactly. Relative dating methods are stratigraphy and style analysis. Absolute dating methods used are absolute dating, radiocarbon dating, uranium-lead dating, and luminescence dating. Stratigraphy as a dating method, is based around the principle that…

A caveat to all the aforementioned measures of recidivism is that risk of recidivism is not equal across offenders. Offenders are a heterogeneous population, characterised by diverse individual, social, and contextual risks that impact their rates of reoffending. While some offenders present very high risks of reoffending, others present very low risks of reoffending. Consequently, the profile of offenders in contact with the corrections system necessarily influences recidivism (Bonta, Rugge,…
