Explain and provide examples of how species-specific and environmental catastrophes, geological events, and the sudden influx/depletion of abiotic resources or increased human activities can affect species distribution and abundance. Solution SPECIES-SPECIFIC:Being a substance that is limited in action of aparticular species,or especially a species from which it is derived. examples of species- specific: critter groups. ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHES:ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHES is a disaster,an event resulting in extreme loss and mis fortune. examples of environmental catastrophes:japan earthquake. GEOLOGICAL EVENTS:An event one or more geologicalprocesses act to modify geological entites. examples of geological events : volcanoes,tsunamis. SUDDEN INFLUX /DEPLETION OF ABIOTIC RESOURCES OR INCREASED HUMAN ACTIVITES CAN AFFECT SPECIES DISTRIBUTION AND ABUDANCE:Depletion of abiotic resources is distruped impact cateogary in the life cycle assesment. it is a dilution problem,it means taking the reserves in the environment and economy in to an account in the parameter and using leakage from the economy instead of extraction rate,as a dilution paameter, and increased human activites can affect species and distribution and abudnce. example: non renewable resources..

A 350- to 700-word letter to the City Council in neighboring Glimmerville. In your letter, explain the situation with the Grass Carp and some of the challenges faced in restoring balance to Sparksville’s aquatic ecosystem. Since Glimmerville is experiencing a similar situation, provide advice on how to restore their lake ecosystem. Include the following points in your letter: What is ecosystem balance? Which reduction factors and which growth factors impacted ecosystem balance in Episode 1? Describe two ways in which the invasive species and native species impact ecosystem balance. Based on Episode 1 and the assigned readings, describe how native and invasive species might affect succession. How might an invasive species impact the natural selection of the native species within a habitat? Describe how native and invasive species affect the flow of energy in an ecosystem? Describe four possible solutions to the Grass Carp invasion problem. Describe one advantage and one disadvantage for each solution. As you learned in Chapters 5 and 6 of Environmental Science, the flow of energy, species interactions, and natural selection change over time. Since ecosystems and species are in flux, why should humans strive to restore and maintain ecosystem balance? Use one example from Episode 1 and one example from the assigned reading materials to support your points. Why is sustainability important to these environmental concerns?

The TDRM is a 6 Step Process to manage natural disasters, viz., 1. Establishing the Disaster Risk Context - strategic, and organizational, 2. Identifying the DRs - what, why and how hazards or certain events translate into disasters including the sources of risks, areas at risk, and the existing measures. 3. Analyzing the DRs - existing controls in terms of likelihood and consequences. 4. Assessing and Prioritizing the DRs - estimating levels of risk and ranking it for prioritization. 5. Treating the DRs - identifying a range of options for treating the priority risks, e.g., prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery, selecting the options, planning and implementing relevant strategies and funding. 6. Lastly, it is important to monitor and review the Performance of the DRMS, the changes that might affect it, and ensure that the DRMP is relevant. The entire process is iterative.

I need help for my next project due next tuesday can you help me in writing this program and can you make it a simple program easy as possible. note here are the parameters of the program in bold: Design a class named Employee. The class should keep the following information in fields: • Employee name • Employee number in the format XXX–L, where each X is a digit within the range 0–9 and the L is a letter within the range A–M. • Hire date Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. Next, write a class named Production Worker that extends the Employee class. The Production Worker class should have fields to hold the following information: • Shift (an integer) • Hourly pay rate (a double) The workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The shift field will be an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1 and the night shift is shift 2. Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the class. Demonstrate the classes by writing a program that uses a Production Worker object. Each class needs a no-arg constructor and a constructor that initializes all fields with data (The Production Worker class constructor should receive data for the Employee class fields as well) Create a method within the Employee and Production Worker classes called display Info. (display Info accepts no arguments and returns void) To display the data for each constructor, the demonstration class will call the subclass display Info method and it will call the superclass display Info method. User input is not required for the demonstration class. Solution Employe class: public class Employee { public String name; public String number; public String hireDate; public Employee(String n, String num, String hd) { name = n; number = num; hireDate = hd; } public String getName() { return name; } public String getNumber() { return number; } public String getHireDate() { return hireDate; } private boolean isValidEmpNum(String e) { boolean isValid = true; int i = 0; if (e.length() != 5) { isValid = false; } while (isValid && i < 3) { if (!Character.isDigit(e.charAt(i))) { isValid = false; } i++; } while (isValid && i < 4) { if (e.charAt(i) != \'-\') { isValid = false; } i++; } while (isValid && i < 5) { if (!Character.isLetter(e.charAt(i))) { isValid = false; } i++; } while (isValid && i < 6) { if (e.charAt(4) <= \'A\' || e.charAt(4) >= \'M\') { isValid = false; } i++; } return isValid; } @Override public String toString() { String str = \"Name: \" + name + \"\ Employee Number: \"; if (\"\".equals(number)) { str += \"Invalid Employee Number\"; } else { str += number; } str += (\"\ Hire Date: \" + hireDate); return str; } } productionworker class: import java.text.DecimalFormat; public class ProductionWorker extends Employee { public static int dayShift = 1; public static int nightShift = 2; private int shift; private double payRate; public String ge.

How do humans localize sound? In other words, how does someone with their eyes closed know where sound is coming from? Solution Localization of sound refers to the ability of a person to identify the location or the origin of sound, its direction and the approximate distance from which it is comming. In order to investigate this complex ability, mammalian auditory system has been studied in detail. Sound localization ability involves psychological and physiological acoustics as well as person\'s artificial intelligence. It includes the interpretation of cues from the environment regarding the information recognition, feeling of living in 3D environment, spectral information, sense of timing and correlation analysis. These cues also include changes which occur with direction of sound and the time its arrival at the ears. Cues of differences between the sound reception of two ears (binaural) and sensing pressure difference reception of the two ears, is also used as information. The sound travels between ears and eardrums are activated at its outer and inner surface. This helps the animal locate the source of the sound. The ear which faces closer to the sound source vibrates with a larger amplitude, compared to the eardrum facing away. Humans have very good ability to determine the source of sounds and they use the \'pressure reception\' as a major cue. The resonance effect in external auditory canal causes the sound signal amplification. In humans, only the outer surface of the ear is exposed to sound. Eustachian tube equalizes the pressure, and does not allow the sound to enter the middle ear. Hence the outer ear serves dual function of localizing the source of sound and amplifying the acoustic signals. Inner ear is protected by middle ear. Cochlea, which is the main part of the inner ear convert the acoustic signals to nerve stimulation..

Explain the ramifications of the changes, and demonstrate that they were truly transformative and not simply incremental improvements. Solution They are truely tranformative as a change does not happen out of nowhere. It announces itself even when the existing system exists. Therefore, transformation is theoretically further elaborated and it is found that a transformational change to a new system already starts at a time when the existing system still fully operates. Thus they cannot be improvements..

A number of these small capillaries combine to form a small vessel. A few vessels combine to drain all the lymph fluid into a large trunk which transports the lymph across the body) Answer 37: True (The lymph fluid is comprised of large amounts of lymphocytes which help in fighting the infections. The lymphocytes are primarily concentrated at the lymph nodes. When the lymph arrives at these lymph nodes, the lymphocytes accumulate to analyse the lymphatic fluid for any infeciton of pathogens. This creates a temporary resistance to flow and causes slight congestion of fluid across the lymphatic vessels which is cleared by some time) Answer 38: Choice D (Since John is at risk of immune response and low on immunity, it clearly suggests that he his immune response depends upon artificially acquired boost due to immunization and thus result in active immune response against multiple infections. Had he not had been pre-immunized, the primary source of immunity might had been his natural defence against infections.).

Assignment: Write a multithreaded Java program that uses either semaphores or Java synchronization to control access to a one-lane bridge. One thread should simulate eastbound vehicles and another thread should simulate westbound vehicles. The vehicles do not have a reverse gear, so the bridge would become deadlocked if both an eastbound vehicle and a westbound vehicle were allowed to drive onto the bridge at the same time. Therefore, mutual exclusion must be enforced. Your solution should avoid both deadlock and starvation (e.g. the bridge being monopolized by westbound vehicles while the eastbound vehicles never get to cross). Vehicles traveling in either direction should wait (sleep) for some amount of time, then attempt to cross. Once a vehicle is on the bridge, it should sleep for some amount of time to simulate how long it takes to drive across the bridge. Output a message when each vehicle drives onto the bridge and another message when that vehicle has completed the crossing. Simulate several vehicles traveling in each direction. Solution public class baboon{ public static boolean eastLock = false; public static boolean westLock = false; public static int onBranch = 0; public static void main(String [] args) { BaboonEast bEast = new BaboonEast(); BaboonWest bWest = new BaboonWest(); for (int i=1; i<=10; i++) { new Thread(bEast, \"E: \"+i).start(); new Thread(bWest, \"W: \"+i).start(); //bEast.start(); }//for }//main }//class class BaboonEast extends Thread { public void run() { while (baboon.westLock == true) { System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + \" waiting\"); try { sleep(50); } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} }//while //baboon.eastLock = true; //stops west baboons entering baboon.onBranch ++; baboon.westLock = true; baboon.eastLock = true; System.out.println(\"Baboon \" + Thread.currentThread().getName() + \" is entering\"); try { sleep(100); } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} baboon.onBranch --; System.out.println (\"Baboon \" + Thread.currentThread().getName() + \" has crossed\"); if (baboon.onBranch <= 0) { baboon.eastLock = false; baboon.westLock = false; } //System.out.println(baboon.onBranch); }//run }//class class BaboonWest extends Thread { public void run() { while (baboon.eastLock == true) { System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + \" waiting\"); try { sleep(50); } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} }//while baboon.westLock = true; //stops east baboons entering baboon.onBranch ++; System.out.println(\"Baboon \" + Thread.currentThread().getName() + \" is entering\"); baboon.westLock = true; baboon.eastLock = true; try { sleep(100); } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} baboon.onBranch --; System.out.println (\"Baboon \" + Thread.currentThread().getName() + \" has crossed\"); if (baboon.onBranch <= 0) { baboon.westLock = false; baboon.eastLock = false; } //System.out.println(baboon.onBranch); }//run }//class.

What unique properties of the genome do forensic scientists use to generate a DNA footprint and this footprint enough to identify a specific (one) suspect? Solution only one tenth of a single percent of DNA differs from one person to another, forensic scientist use these variable regions to generate a DNA profile of an individual using samples from blood , hair ,etc. scientist find markers in a DNA sample by designing a small pieces of DNA(probes) that will bind to a complementary DNA sequence in the sample.A series of probes bound to a DNA sample creates a distinctive pattern for individual.scientist compare these DNA profile to determine whether the suspect\'s sample matches the evidence sample.if they don\'t match the person don\'t contribute to the crime scene.If it match it means the suspect may have contributes to the evidence sample. There are variable number of tendom repeats which are used to identify the suspects, which vary in each person. RFLP(restriction fragment length polymorphism ) is a technique used in this concern as it analyze variable length of DNA fragments that results from digesting a DNA sample with a special kind of enzyme. various other techniques are also there as- PCR,STAR analysis.

what are the five major activities of an operating system in regard to file management? Solution Operating systems perform the vital function of being the bridge between a computer\'s hardware and software. They provide an environment where software can be written without the need to cater to the specifics of the underlying hardware, which was necessary in the earlier days of computing. There are several widely-used operating systems which differ from each other in many respects. However, they each perform a number of similar functions including executing basic instructions, either compiled or interpreted; and also managing processes, memory, input and output, storage, network operations, and file and folder/directory operations. There are five major file management functions that an operating system controls. CREATING AND DELETING FILES : File creation and deletion are fundamental to computer operations. In the former, data can\'t be stored in an efficient manner unless arranged in some form of file structure. In the latter, permanent storage would quickly fill up if files were not deleted and the space occupied by them reallocated to new files. CREATING AND DELETING DIRECTORIES: As a corollary to the need to store data in files, files themselves need to be arranged in directories or folders in order to allow their efficient storage and retrieval. This is particularly so in the case of personal computers where the user needs to navigate to one or more specific files to access them. Without some form of compartmentalization, this would prove an onerous if not impossible task. Much like file deletion, unnecessary directories or folders need to be removed in order to keep the system uncluttered. FILE MANIPULATION INSTRUCTIONS: Since operating systems allow application software to perform file manipulation using symbolic instructions, the operating system itself needs to have a machine-level instruction set in order to interface with the hardware directly. The application\'s symbolic instructions need to be translated into the machine-level instructions either by an interpreter or by compiling the application code. The operating system contains provisions to manage this machine-level file manipulation. BACKING UP FILES : Files represent a considerable investment in time, intellectual effort and often money as well, thus their loss can have a severe impact. Computer\'s permanent storage devices generally contain a number of mechanical devices which can fail, and the storage media itself may degrade. A function of operating systems is to obviate the risk of data loss by backing files up on additional secure and stable media in a redundant system. MAPPING TO PERMANENT STORAGE : Operating systems need to be able to map files and folders to their physical location on permanent storage in order to be able to store and retrieve them. This will be recorded in some form of disk directory which varies according to the file system or systems that the opera.

What are the key components of a typical centralized all-air HVAC system? Write the component name and their corresponding function/role. Based on the heat transfer media, HVAC systems can be classified into how many systems? Which system is the most popular system and why? Solution HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning. The key components and their functions are as follows: 1. Thermostat. - to keep the home at a desired temperature. When the ambient temperature becomes too cold or too hot, the thermostat will trigger the heat exchanger or the evaporator coil- condensing unit combo to begin circulating warmed or cooled air as needed. 2. Furnace. - to heat a supply of air which is to be distributed to various rooms of the building via the HVAC. This heating process is accomplished using one of four possible heat sources -- combustion (burning natural gas, oil, coal, or propane), electric resistance, heat pump, or solar energy collected on site. 3. Heat exchanger. - switches on when the furnace is activated by thermostat to produce warmer temperatures in winter. The heat exchanger pulls in cool air, heats it, and circulates the resulting heated air via your ducts and out through the vents. 4. Evaporator coil. - it acts to cool the air when the thermostat is set to lower temperatures in summer. which is then circulated through the ductwork. 5. Condensing unit. - When the refrigerant has been cooled to a liquid by heat exchange with the exterior air, the condensing unit pumps the liquid to the evaporator coil to be evaporated into a gas once more. 6. Refrigerant lines. The refrigerant lines carry a refrigerant substance to the condensing unit vaporized in the form of a gas, and return it to the evaporator coil in liquid form. 7. Ductwork. - system of ducts that transports air warmed or cooled by the system to the various areas of the building. 8. Vents. - transfer the heated or cooled air from the duct system into the individual rooms of the building..

What are lymphoid nodules and where are they located? What functions are served by these? (1 paragraph) Solution These are small localised ovoid or kidney shaped organs containing collection of lymphoid tissue. They are generally located in the loose connective tissue under wet epithelial membranes eg-digestive system, respiratory system etc. They are located in the walls of alimentary canal (tonsils, appendix and caecum, Peyer\'s patches), genitourinary passages, respiratory tract and also in other parts of the body. Peyer\'s patches are permanently localized lymphoid tissue in the sub mucosa of ileum. To defend nasal and oral cavities in the body lymphatic nodules are grouped together forming tonsils which are of three pairs viz. Palatine, Lingual and Pharyngeal. They help in the proper functioning of the immune system. They act as a filter for foreign particles and cancer cells. They guard the body and respond to entry of infectious organisms and toxins. Lymphoid nodules are the sites of proliferation/activation of lymphocytes (B cells). It occurs in the germinal centre..
