Public’s perception of smoke

Explain the importance of public perceptions when considering smoke produced from wildland fires.  As part of your explanation, please consider how public reactions to smoke may impact fire management options, what circumstances (experiences, locations, degree of preparedness, etc) make people more tolerant to smoke, and what communication hurdles are there for managers to build trust with communities?

Lysozyme

I have included all the instruction of this lab report. We did experiment about Lysozymes. We used data that were given from our instructor. I also attached an example of previous report from one of my friend who used to take this class last semester, there were some comments from my instructor on my friend’s lab report so try to take advantage of that and please don’t make my lab report look like the same of my friend’s lab report

Geo Critical thinking essay

Read the excerpts from Sandra Cisneros short book The House on Mango Street provided.
2. Construct a story from a street that you lived on as a child or a young adult. Perhaps it is about something or someone, or an event that sticks in your memory. Focus on something that is quintessentially urban and, if you can, something that is geographic. If you have no urban memories (which says something about how you view the world given that 80% of the US is officially urban, and urbanity touches pretty much all parts of the world), then put together something that relates to where you live right now. Use Cisneros work as your guide.
What do you identify as important and why?
What are elements of the story that relate to the urban-ness of the street
where you lived (or live)?
How do spatial relations affect the story?
What scales does the story reflect (house, garden, street, city, nation,
immigrant, world)?
Write out some bullet points that will comprise that elements of the story. Your bullets can reflect your excitement, humor, pathos, existential angst, or whatever you find interesting … and you want to hone down on something that is quintessentially urban.
3. See if you can use Cisneros lyrical style to write a short essay (~500 words) on the story of the house/person/event on your street. Cisneros is a good example of particularly engaging used of writing conventions,

ocean floor

You must download Earth Google for this assignment.

Please read carefully and fallow instructions .

This is not a Essay.

In this discussion,you will use Google Earth to explore the origin and evolution of features on the seafloor. This assignment addresses Student Learning Outcome 3.

Directions
First, review all content items in this module, including reading the assigned textbook chapter and reviewing the accompanying lesson slides.
After familiarizing yourself with marine provinces, open Google Earth. We want to more clearly see features on the ocean floor, so go to “View” in the menu and click “Water Surface” to disable it. Google Earth shows ocean bathymetry in shades of blue: the darker the blue, the greater the depth. Zoom in until you can see features on the seafloor. Find a volcanic peak on the seafloor and determine whether it is an abyssal hill, seamount, tablemount/guyot, volcanic island or an atoll. In your new reply to this discussion:
Copy and paste the coordinates of your feature and note the type of feature you found.
Describe your feature: use the cursor to determine the water depth surrounding your feature (water depth is provided as negative elevation, next to the GPS coordinates). What is the water depth at the top of your feature? How big is it? Use the ruler tool to measure its dimensions. Be sure to include units! (Are you measuring in meters, kilometers, feet, miles?)
Hypothesize as to the origin of your feature. What geologic processes created it? Why is it there? This is a hypothesis, so there are no wrong answers.

Useful Resources
You may want to review the Google Earth Tutorial video again (created by a colleague at Pasadena City College). This tutorial goes over several tools in Google Earth that will be used in this assignment, including the ruler tool to measure distance, and the cursor to measure GPS coordinates, elevation or depth.

Environmental and social History of LA

1.(Sloan reading, pg 1-10) How useful is Sloan’s description of LA as an “island” to understand its current growth and development? (1/2 page )
2.(Deverell and Hise Chapter 2 and 3) European settlements across Southern California led to significant changes in the prairie environment occupied by the Tongva.
3. Describe the new ecosystem as a result of this transformation. (1/2 page )
4. Watch the following two videos and answer the subsequent question:
https://www.kcet.org/shows/lost-la/the-chinese-massacre-one-of-los-angeles-worst-atrocities
https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=DwzKW_6r_ng
Los Angeles is described as a city that likes to “forget” its past. How does the Chinese Massacre contradict the image of Los Angeles that boosters promoted  (1/2 page)

RE: Week 8 Discussion

Describes the recent reduction in population growth in Thailand. Based on the case study, complete the following:

Suggest two lessons from Thailands experience that could be put into place elsewhere to reduce population growth.
Determine the major links between wealth, birth rates, and shared environment within the United States and Thailand.
Speculate on one method that a country could employ to attain a sustainable population. Be sure to provide your rationale for selecting this method.
Support your responses with specifics and examples.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

view the associated video clip found above and consider the following statement: In the last few tenths of a second before midnight of December 31 humans have developed an incredible civilization and learned a great deal about the universe. We are continuing to develop technology that is used to explore the vast cosmological expanse; however humans have also developed technology with which we could destroy ourselves. The dinosaurs survived about one week on the Cosmic Calendar: But, what about our species, all of humanity….will humans become extinct like countless other species on Earth? Incorporate time values within your reply and defend your position with supporting evidence. Please remember to respond from either the position that humans will become extinct or that humans will continue to survive.

Weaving a Story from Our Homework

For this assignment, you’ll actually be working to write a story based on your answers to the homework.  You’ll see that there are 10 questions on the homework.  To do this assignment, you can pick any 5 questions that you would like the answer to, and then use those as the basis for writing your story.

You can find more information about how to write the assignment here:

Assignment Instruction Sheet for Weaving a Story from our HomeworkPreview the document

Please read it carefully, since you’ll need to do things like format the assignment with highlighting where you put in your homework answers, so I can read it more easily.  Also, if you want an example of a story that uses homework answers, so you can get an idea of how to do this, check out this example: The Time Warp EncounterPreview the document

This homework aligns with the chapter of our OpenStax Astronomy textbook mentioned in the title of the assignment (also you can find this on the last page of the Syllabus).

Finally, don’t forget that I check submissions for plagiarism using software that checks all submissions against each other and the Internet… and if you copy from another source, I’ll be forced to refer you to the Dean’s office for Academic Fraud.

Click here for the homework assignment with 10 questions.  Remember you only need to use 5 of them in your story.Preview the document

Food Web

Draw a simple food web for a natural area near you.  The natural area can also include your backyard, open areas of condo and/or apartments, work, school, etc. Include producers and at least three levels of consumers, as well as, detritivores, and decomposers. Include the HAND-DRAWN food web in your post.  DO NOT INCLUDE A FOOD WEB OF THE EVERGLADES UNLESS YOU ARE AT THE PARK AND OBSERVING. The goal of the assignment is to construct a food web using observations, not copying from known examples.  http://www.wildflorida.com/index.php
