Wood preservation

In 2010, New Hampshire lost 11 Common Loons to lead poisoning. Knowing the deaths would be detrimental to a severely threatened population, an investigation of dead loons, collected from 1989 to 2010, was carried out by the Loon Preservation Committee, Dr. Mark Pokras of Tufts University, and Tiffany Grade, a graduate student from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Necropsies and tissue samples showed lead poisoning was responsible for nearly half of all the dead birds examined. Despite…

Hunting, something man has been doing for centuries in order to survive. Today some still use it as a food source, others use it for fun, and some use it for serious sport. Many hunters are trophy hunters looking to put something rare and exotic on their walls, but there are many hunters that hunt for the simple fact of conservation. Many animal activist see all hunters the same, as cruel and selfish people. When in fact sportsmen contribute nearly $8 million a day that goes to support wildlife…

Abstract: The study investigated the workability, and compressive strength properties of the concrete produced by replac-ing 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of ordinary Portland cement with Sawdust Ash (SDA). Slump test was carried out on the fresh concrete and compressive strength test on hardened concrete. The concrete cubes were tested at the ages of 3, 7, 14 & 28 days. The results showed that Sawdust Ash is good with use in cement. The slump decreased as the Sawdust Ash content increased…

Hunting: an Escape for Some, a Prison for Others For hundreds of years, there have been an ample amount of situations that make a man, a man. One of those vigorous activities that figuratively puts hair on a beefy man’s chest is the extreme sport of hunting. But lately, hunting has taken a hit by asinine protestors that love animals. Groups of animal rights activists have voiced their birdbrained opinions about their uber love of animals, and how hunters are killing their furry friends because…

to borrow it because the summary was very interesting in my opinion. The book exceeded my expectations with its fascinating storyline and it’s interesting characters. These characters are contestants of a reality show, where they are sent into the woods to attempt to outlast each other in order to win a prize. However, disaster strikes in the outside world and the contestants know nothing about it. The book ends in a cliffhanger and I hope that the author will write another book to continue this…

“original” condition prior to damage or disturbance by human beings” (Pitcher and Welchman, 260). In society’s modern day decisions and environmental ethics, the term restoration is used ubiquitously. Perhaps restoration gets confused with other preservation approaches noted and distinguished by Pitcher and Welchman as reclamation and rewilding. Reclamation is bringing land to a state that has equivalent use to the original state, but is not the original use. Rewinding the land removes all human…

and effective scientific study looks like. I am excited to live in Kentucky and learn about its ecology and sociology, having never been to the area before. In addition, I hope to gain practical field and laboratory research skills at Lilley Cornett Woods old-growth forest ecosystem and Maywoods Environmental…
