Hurricane Katrina levee’s along the Mississippi River were essentially sturdy and strong; however, the levee constructed to hold back Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain, and the waterlogged swamps and marshes to the city’s west and east were less reliable. Since Hurricane Katrina, it has let other states to observe, verify, and inspect their flood control systems and implanting this catastrophic event if it happened in their cities. Sacramento has implemented and introduces an overhauling flood…

Because British Columbia is in the Western Cordillera there are a lot of mountains and slopes. This is a very popular tourist attraction with over 35 sites to ski at. This also means that it creates a lot of jobs for people such as skiing instructors, the operators and many more jobs. Fishing and swimming is a very popular activity in Vancouver…

In Hawaii, “steep slopes, combined with flow of ground and surface water and frequent seismic episodes, create a setting prone to mass wasting by processes such as landsliding, mud flows, or slope creep” (Thornberry,10). It is important to note that “the island of Hawaii is the most seismically active place in the United States with thousands of detectable…

The collars use were neck loop transmitters and body loop transmitters and were 5% or less of the quail’s body mass. Some birds were released in pairs, while other birds were released alone. Some birds were also kept overnight and released in a different location within a 24-hour period. All quail died within 16 days of the study. Factors contributing to quail fatality were predation, stress, and poor habitat condition. Montezuma Quail rely on cover to escape from predators, and poor habitat…

George can argue against what John is doing as unethical because it is illegal and under the ethical framework of slippery slope and overvaluing outcomes. Under the ethical framework of slippery slope, John by lying to George even that he was just dealing with returns from earlier and that it was a regular routine done at night, is unable to recognize his own unethical behavior and may just continue his illegal…

1981). Market portfolio is used to compute the beta value. In this regard Roll argued that whenever there is inefficiency on the proxy used for the market portfolio, the computed betas will not be suitable. The correct SML are likely to have a lower slope or a higher…

school kids. Avalanches happen in many different ways, can kill more than 150 people worldwide each year, but people can be safe with the right tools. Avalanches have many triggers that can cause them to happen, including overloading, temperature, slope angles, snow peak condition, or vibration. Overloading is the most common. It happens when the weight of the snow increases until it overcomes the patch of snow underneath it. Temperature triggers them because when the temperature rises, it…

My studies over the last nine+ weeks have taught me some new information and reminded me of some information I knew but had been long buried and I’d gotten complacent with. Our Course Outcomes and my learning experiences are as follows: • Evaluate basic communication theory and concepts as a foundation for conveying messages through traditional and new media formats Learning the basic communication theories and concepts and evaluating their merit gives me a better understanding of how people…

I had heard of this hunk of metal, constructed to look like a racecar, and knew that it would certainly test my courage. The Dragster was recorded as 120 mph, the third fastest roller coaster in the world, and had the highest peak in the park. Its slope went straight up and then led right back down. Despite it being a somewhat short ride, this did nothing to quell the fear rising up in my belly threatening me to turn…

Could you imagine a world where we could create a better race of humans? I think that designer babies are an efficient way to create a better society where a smarter race of humans can rule, he world and we can make the world a better place. In the article “In Praise of Designer Babies” it says “Imagine you knew that you carried a gene for a debilitating illness. But doctors could go into your egg (or your spouse's) and remove that gene, enabling you to have a baby who, whatever other problems…
