Sexing: The techniques used for sexing faunal remains will be determined by the degree of preservation of the element themselves as well as the identified species present. Unfortunately, a clear indication of sex is not always apparent in the archaeological record and we have to infer based on overall size in comparison to modern population (Reitz and Wing, 1999). One exception is in the case of female birds which can be recognized by medullary bone, a calcium deposit associated with egg laying…

of the forest after a lightning-ignited fire. The study also looked at the composition in unlogged, fire-excluded, ponderosa pine forests. In the Bob Marshall Wilderness area in Montana they established 15 900m^2 plots along systematically array transects. The area they studied was burnt twice, once…

areas, harbour views, transport, affordable housing and wharf 7. Primary and secondary research can be used to describe and analyse the impact of urban growth and decline in Pyrmont. Primary data such as pictures taken on sight, field sketches, transects and surveys taken by Ravenswood students. Secondary research can consist of websites, photos taken off of google and census…

Kishan Patel Section: 008 Pattern: Calcium levels in the soil controls soil pH and species richness within a community Hypothesis 1: Calcium levels in the soil controls soil pH. Prediction: An increase in the calcium levels in the soil will make the soil less acidic. Reasoning: Calcium exists mainly in the soil as exchangeable cations (ca^2+) associated with basic anions, which reacts with soil acidity (H) to neutralize it. Analytical approach: Regression Independent variable: Calcium levels…

Figure 6. A. Species classification for the area of study. B. Percentage based on the relative frequencies of each class for the area of study. These 14 species are distributed differentely across the area of study, with some species dominating specific areas while others are distributed scattered around the site (Figure 7). Figure 7. Species distribution across the area of study. One hundred and fifty two of the trees surveyed were dead (7.1%), with 81 of those (53.29%) situated in the…

1.1. Sustainable Development The idea of energy efficient, healthy buildings has been around for a long time, it is now that the concept of “green” or “sustainable” building has entered the mainstream and catching the global attention. There are probably several reasons; Global Warming, rising energy costs, the growing awareness, declining oil reserves, and concerns about our limited water supply. The list goes on, but whatever the reason or reasons; energy efficient building is a concept whose…

The road of yellow brick is an element in the novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, with additional such roads appearing in The Marvelous Land of Oz and The Patchwork Girl of Oz. The 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, based on the novel, gave it the name by which it is better known, the Yellow Brick Road (it is never referenced by that title in the original novel). In the later film The Wiz, Dorothy has to find the road, as the house was not deposited directly in front of it; in the novel…

to carry it all through the backwoods of Montana. Apples, alfalfa, bear spray, multi-tool, knife, sharpie, radio, traps, flagging, and a few other things loaded us down. Brandon taught us how to find and follow flagging on grid lines as well as on transect lines used to cut across the grid. The grids are marked across using the alphabet and down using numbers. Therefore, one trap site could be A1 or B7 and so on. We set 50 traps on the Closed Old grid and 50 on Closed Young before calling it a…

The twenty-first century marks the first time in history that the majority of the world’s population live in urban areas (Buhaug & Urdal, 2013). Urbanization is continuing rapidly, especially in cities of the global South. Poverty is also urbanizing as reflected in the lack of adequate housing, infrastructure and services for a majority of poor urban populations. One third of the world’s population is estimated to be living in slum conditions characterized by high densities of low income…

Hawai’i is known as the endangered species capital of the world with the largest number of endangered species per square mile than any other place on Earth (Meditz et al., 2013). Hawai’i is called this because of an invasive algae called Gracilaria salicornia, or gorilla ogo. Studies on Gracilaria salicornia provide background information of on the specific algae. Current research also analyzes the ecology of the algae, along with how the algae affects Hawaii's economy. Additional research…
