River Shannon

The river Shannon is easily the longest river in the British Isles, running through 11 of Ireland’s 32 counties. The river also creates three lakes on it’s path to the Atlantic Ocean, Lough Allen, Lough Ree and Lough Derg. This, interestingly, has made the river a hub for transportation throughout history. In fact, one could argue that the Shannon was one of the main reasons foreigners and invaders were able to spread themselves throughout Ireland. Incredibly, the portion of Ireland around the River Shannon has several hundred years worth of history where non-Irish peoples controlled the area. Due to river access, the Vikings alone controlled western Ireland from the late 8th century to the end of the 10th century. From the most ancient of…

This study examined the effects of physical factors on diversity in freshwater environments by observing invertebrate diversity in riffles and pools in a freshwater stream. It was hypothesized that differences in invertebrate diversity between riffles and pools would be due to physical factors in the environment. To test this hypothesis, invertebrates were collected from each environment and classified by their taxa, and Shannon-Simpson indices were produced from these data to analyze the…

We live in a society that follows the traits that are often old enough for the current situation and we have the kind of nature by which we try to follow what the majority of the population does. Sometime it is the pressure from the mass which lets us to oppose our own judgement of a certain case that we have different perception about. It may not matter what society we live in, as we humans always tend to have similar way of thinking in all aspects of life. In “The Lottery” by Chris Abani, he…

richness is. Species richness is generally considered as a healthier as the more different species in it. Sampling over a large area increases the chance of finding in rare species. Evenness is a scale of the abundances of different species which are categories in a community. Evenness ranges from zero. When the evenness is close to one, it indicates that each species category consists of almost same number of individuals. When the abundances of species are unlike (some rare and some common),…

David Shannon has always been an amazing writing and has been writing children’s books for many years. David Shannon has well over 20 books and each of them have their own uniqueness. Shannon is an amazing writer and illustrator. He knows how to draw a reader in and make them want to read the whole book.

Shannon Noll is a singer/song-writer from Australia. He was born in a rural NSW town called Orange on 16th September 1975, however he spent most of his early life growing up in two towns called Condobolin and Tullibigeal. Shannon Noll or “Nollsy” was the youngest of three boys; Adam, Damian and of course himself. His parents were Neil and Sharron Noll who owned the Noll family farm which was a 4,500-acre lot in Tullibigeal. This farm had a large impact on Nollsy’s life and the outback lifestyle…

In case of evenness index J´ of species, highest value of 1 was found in sample 8 that have similar relative abundance of species or equal number of individuals belong to each species while species evenness was 0 in samples that also have 0 value of Shannon index that indicates less species diversity result in only one or few species dominate. Remaining samples have moderately high species evenness (Figure 1 (c)). As far as Simpson index of diversity is concerned, minimum value was 0 while…

The next known attack was in 1984. This attack consisted of two abortion clinics being bombed by a man who identified himself as a member of the Army of God. In 1988 anti-abortion protesters were arrested outside of the Democratic National Convention. While serving time in jail, they decided to join the Army of God. Many of them later committed crimes in accordance with the beliefs of the Army of God. In 1993, Shelley Shannon, a member of the Army of God, murdered Dr. George Tiller. Dr. Tiller…

Our results found that populations 1 and 2 had similar means for tail shaft color, throat color, and malar stripe (see Table 1); however, the standard deviation for tail color between population 1 and population 2 greatly differs from the ones found in throat color and malar stripe. For the two populations (populations 3 and 4) on the edge within the hybrid zone, the mean greatly differ for all three traits with an average drop of 1.83 between the two populations for each of the three traits…

with the name first, but it surely does fit our feelings for the town. Growing up in Tillamook, I start to notice more and more of the horrifying damage the rain water and rivers do to our town. According to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, "DO NOT ENTER FLOOD WATER!" flood…
