2. Experience 2.1 Landscape Function Analysis At Mulloon Home Farm, Luke introduced Mulloon catchment and Mulloon institution to us. Then we started our research with Forest LFA, including landscape organization assessment (LOA) and soil surface assessment (SSA). Firstly, we set up a 50m transect running directly up and down the slope and mapped patches and interpatches on this transect. We regarded the place where resources could be accumulated as patches, like grass, shrubs, logs or trees.…

Douglass would befriend impoverished white boys, presenting the intention of donating bread with them. However, Douglass would secretly “convert as many of these hungry little urchins into [reading] teachers as [he] could” (Douglass 148). He applied a similar technique on his journey to mastering writing. He would challenge his coworkers to a writing competition by bluffing that he was a better than them. In actuality, he devised…

For Empedocles, the origin of organisms is an act brought on by chance, which can be defined as a “coincidental cause” (Physics 54). For Empedocles, it is important to note the importance of love and strife and the role these two elements play in the chance process. Before the origin of organisms, love out-ruled strife and there was a continuous harmony in the universe. However, Empedocles suggests that the spirits of the universe had become corrupt and strife’s power began to increase and…

Slaughterhouse by Esteban Echeverría and National Rock of the late 1960’s to around 1976 are both considered political platforms which use subliminal underlinings for the authors or musicians to express their dislike for the current political situation during these times. The rock movement and Slaughterhouse were more than a hundred years apart which illustrates that subtle political advocacy has continued to be used a platform over time in Argentina. In addition, Slaughterhouse was written in…

The Animal Book Chapter 1: Animal characteristics Chapter 2: Body Parts Body plans refer to similarities in development, structure, and function among members of a particular group (phylum). At some point, members of that group share the same body plan during their development process. Which could be a possible explanation for shared structural plans that have been observed in the anatomy and embryology. Timing, pattern, and scale of development determine the organism's shape, and closely…

As the amount of anthropogenic CO2 has been rising in the atmosphere, this has meant a natural rise in the levels of CO2 in the oceans. This rise can have a large effect on the natural biogeochemical cycles of the oceans. The largest effect will be seen through the acidification of the oceans. When CO2 is dissolved in seawater it increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the ocean, which then decreases the overall pH, causing acidification. This acidification can have a detrimental effect…

struggled with their nets as they brought in the catch of the day. On the patio of a fish tavern overlooking the bay, they dined alfresco at circular oak tables under the shade of giant white linen umbrellas. The delicious repast included fresh sea urchin, artichoke salad, and savory fish stew. They spent the rest of the languid afternoon swimming. Janet and Darren’s shrieks of laughter echoed through the air together with the caterwauls of the seagulls gliding in the air. Mercy made sure…

infection (Derraik, J. G., 2002). When plastics break down, they eventually become micro plastics, which are smaller than 5 millimeters long. Since micro plastic cannot be seen with the naked eye, marine animals like “zooplanktons, lobsters, worms, sea urchins, and fish” can swallow them when drinking the ocean water without noticing (Sharma, S., & Chatterjee, S., 2017). Larger animals like whales and sharks may ingest large pieces of plastic like plastic bags due to their size of mouth.…

James Hamby - English9A - Family Narrative So, my Family went on a trip this summer to the British Virgin Islands. We had to drive to Tulsa Oklahoma which didn’t take that long but the airplanes took forever.

When we got on the plane it was a small plane that was going to Atlanta Georgia for a place to get onto another airplane. We waited there and ate breakfast because we…

In modern society, money has developed into a large factor of judgement. People nowadays revolve around money and how wealthy one another are. Affluence has grown to determine people’s social ranking in society, as well as their motives and personalities. To further this theory, a person who is highly rich, for example, might appear as happier as and more confident than a person of a lower class. Although money can have a positive influence, it can also produce a negative effect. People tend to…
