Secchi disk

This experiment was designed to test what the limiting nutrient was in Loughberry Lake, as well as examine the trophic state of the lake. In order to find out what the limiting nutrient was, we performed a few different tests. We began with a secchi disk test to see the transparency of the water. Then, we took water samples that we later used to test the turbidity levels of the water after adding varying amounts of phosphorous and nitrogen. Phosphorous was the limiting nutrient in the lake, because it had the most growth even when it was paired with nitrogen. Our data was proven to be statistically significant. The nutrient levels also categorized Loughberry Lake as mesotrophic, and we found that historically, the lake had been oligotrophic in the 80’s and eutrophic in the early 2000’s. This change in trophic states shows the effect that cultural eutrophication can have, and that within a few decades an aquatic ecosystem can be changed rapidly. It is important to recognize the limiting nutrient in the system, but even more importantly, we must recognize our own roles in how we affect our water resources. Introduction:…

At GH, humans built docks, and a fish processing plant. There are multiple sources of trash in the water and rocks along the dock from impervious surfaces, runoff, and humans. At GHB, people and their dogs walk on the beach and swim in the water. There is barely any apparent pollution. The differences between the two sites are important to consider when describing water quality because water quality is frequently poorer in places with more human influences. There were multiple samples taken in…

collected in order to analyze the planktonic community present both vertically and horizontally off the coast. Biotic factors such as salinity, temperature and nutrients were also analyzed. Materials and Methods Water Sampling and Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) Measurements Sampling was conducted on September 24th 2016 aboard the R/V Sea Explorer off the coast of Dana Point. Three stations were sampled and are listed as follows with increasing distance from shore: station 3 (Lat.…

spaghetti worm in the sediment. This is the same as of fall of 2014; however, the standing stock is 16 for fall of 2015 and the standing stock is 21 for fall of 2014. One last sample in which there is a slight error is the measurement of the light transparency of the seawater. Specifically, at the time of deployment the secchi disc is sunken more than the intention. The reason is because when the secchi disc is going underwater the boat is traveling and thus it is hard to tell the point at which…

A Time to Never be Forgotten I will never forget the hot Florida sun in the summertime or the squeaking of basketball shoes moving across the hardwood court. All this happened when I was in the 3rd grade. As I was eager to get out of Kansas, I started packing my bags the night before, and I usually never pack until my mom is yelling at me at the top of her lungs to get out of the door. This was going to be my second time heading back to Florida, but my first time going there for basketball. We…

programming. Different experiments by numerous people, within the fields of electricity and broadcasting, navigated to the development of the basic technologies and ideas that laid the foundation for the invention of the television. The television as we see and know it today was not always this way. During the late 1800s, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a German student developed the first ever mechanical module of the television (The history of television). Throughout the early 1900s inventors had…

Internal memory normally means memory chips that is inside the computer with technology changing these used to be disks or tapes that was used for internal memory. Ram memory is found on the computers motherboard, so every time the computer opens a program it will be loaded and opened into ram which will make the process faster, the more ram that the computer has will meant he faster it will run and be able to complete tasks. The CPU in the computer uses cache memory as it will speed up the…

Initial development TV - The enchanted time transient box that transmits pictures and sound, affected some way or another into our lives after it was produced 80 years back. It is a standout amongst the most critical innovations of the twentieth century, changing and molding the brains of individuals amazingly. The early advancement of TV can be followed back to the revelation of the photoconductivity of the component selenium by Willoughby Smith in 1873, the creation of a checking plate by Paul…

search warrant will not be required. Another area of interest that will need to be searched would be the member’s home and vehicle. However, in this instance an invitation would be required of the police to explore Mr. McBride’s home. During the search, items of interest would be any digital type of product able to store data, things like laptop, thumb drives, CDs, hard drives, etc. 3. Prior to the examination of the thumb drive the containment phase should be begin. Through the…

over 20 years all airlines used floppy disks to perform the “uploading” of data to the plane and the components on the plane but with the knowledge of floppy disks no longer being made and the inherent problems of robustness, cost and reliability of floppies, the airlines are looking into digital media. The media that was typically saved to the floppy disks is now being saved in digital format into databases, computers and other devices used within the industry ahead of the demise of floppy…
