Many people don’t know what a Watershed is. Some people may know and others may be completely clueless. Well, since you are wondering now, a Watershed is an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins, or seas. With that knowledge, our Environmental Scientist have discovered pollution inside the Watershed, caused by human interactions, located around the Mobile River in Southern Alabama. The pollution found in the river is affecting the wildlife that are in…

discuss the empirical results of the VAR model analysis described in the previous section. In subsection 4.1 we analyse significance of coefficients in the model and apply Granger Causality test. In subsection 4.2 we present the results of impulse response functions analysis and variance decomposition. Afterwards, we turn to subsection 4.3 to test reliability of the VAR model. 4.1 Testing for significance and Granger-causality According to Wald test (Table 5) the hypothesis of zero coefficient…

Introduction Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or otherwise known as ADHD is a very common disorder among students in our school. According to the National Health Statistics Report, in the United States, 1 in 10 school aged children have a diagnosis of ADHD (Visser, Zablotsky, Holbrook, Danielson, & Bitsko, 2015 ). This disorder cannot be cured, but there are several in-terventions that can help with the daily symptoms one with ADHD has to deal with. While some treatment for ADHD…

Student Demographics: B is an eight year old boy who lives with his dad and brother. B is larger and taller than most students in his classroom and his peers. He is also older and about to be 10 in 3rd grade. B’s native language is English, but it seems to be the subject he struggles with. He cannot pronounce words properly, but he can form sentences and usually comprehends his own vocabulary. He does have a speech problem, such as not being able to pronounce letters correctly such as “R’s” and…

Communication between parents and teachers is a vital part of the education process. Establishing and maintaining a strong home-school line of communication can benefit children, parents and educators. Children feeling more comfortable at school, Parents have a better understanding of their child’s development and capabilities and educators can gain increased support from families (Estes & Krogh 2012). I believe that is it important to have many avenues for home-school communication both in the…

Water pollution is when our water steams, and rivers get polluted by harmful things. Water pollution in Georgia today is a very disastrous issue. The problem with water pollution is contamination from chemical spills, burst pipelines and toxic waste. Water pollution is a major issue to be dealt with. There are many ways water pollution can be avoided. In addition to finding a solution to this problem, The Clean Water Act was made and passed. Even though Water pollution very harmful, People have…

process. The conclusion to objective four states that the farmer’s capacity to adapt is very limited due to the various daily obstacles faced including lack of resources, information, financial capacity and lack of support from the government. Lack of surface water for crop production remains the most serious limitation to adaptive capacity, followed by inability to access farm credit services and improved…

There was much more pollution around this area than I had previously expected. As soon as I came into view of the bridge, I could already see a glass bottle floating down beneath it. I investigated the surface of the water and the concrete areas under and around the bridge, and I discovered that the most common types of pollution were glass/plastic bottles, cigarette butts, plastic bags, and food containers that come from large fast food chains, like KFC…

type as well as the physico-chemical make-up of the soil. Soils generally fail in shear. At failure, shear stress along the failure surface (mobilized shear resistance) reaches the shear strength, Holtz and Kovacs (1981). The soil grains slide over each other along the failure surface. No crushing of individual grains. At failure, shear stress along the failure surface (t) reaches the shear strength (tf). Using the Mohr – Coulomb criterion, Figure 10.1, we have in terms of effective stresses…

where the pesticide was applied will have the highest concentrations. As you move away from those areas the concentration should decrease. Although they can remain high due to runoff, and wind deposits. The soil depth must also be considered. The surface soil will have the highest concentration. As the pesticide leaches through the soil the…
