Essay On Xoxy Paine
Created to help grow recognition of the Museum, the project of Modern Sculpture Initiative
collected identifiable sculptures in the Kansas City Sculpture Park at the Nelson–Atkins Museum
(Paine 15). This park holds pieces from Henry Moore and the duo Claes Oldenburg and Coosje Van
Bruggen. As a gift to retired Martin Friedman, who was the advisor of the Modern Sculpture
Initiative and director of the Walker, he got to commission a work by the artist of his choosing
(Roxy Paine's), 2010). With help from the Hall Family Foundation, a dendroid installation called
Ferment by Roxy Paine was the newest addition in 2011 (Paine 17). Since Paine has 24 dendroid
sculptures spread across North America, it is an honor to have one that gave excitement and quality
to the park (Roxy Paine's, 2010). Curator Jan Schall expressed, "Roxy Paine is one of the most
important young sculptors today. Ferment will be the reigning monarch on that hillside. It is an
outstanding addition to the collection that will enlighten, perplex and delight everyone who sees it.
("Roxy Paine's", 2010)" When a person goes to the Nelson–Atkins Museum, they may see a tall,

By definition, ferment is something as a yeast, bacterium, mold, or enzyme that causes fermentation
or it is to make turbulent, excite (Paine 43). From the article "Roxie Paine Branches Out in KC"
Paine expressed, "I was trying to create this turning, swirling, very dynamic force. (It is) almost
uncontrolled, but then it's frozen in this material that is extremely stable, extremely hard" (Strong,
2011). For Paine, many of his dendroids exemplify contradictions within itself. For the Ferment, it is
considered lifeless by its look, but it goes deeper into symbolizing unity between heaven, earth and
the underworld (Paine 43). Stated in the book Roxy Paine: Ferment, it further explains his reasons

The Low Coefficient Of The Lichen Population
Discussion:
The overall variation of the mean moisture content of tree bark, and the mean distribution of the
Lichen population in relation to the increasing height of the tree from the ground level is shown in
Figure 1. It was observed that there is a remarkable reduction in the mean moisture content of the
bark as the height of the tree increased. Hence there is a strong relationship between the mean
moisture content and the tree height as supported by the high coefficient of determination value (R2
= 0.96136). The mean moisture content from the tree height of 0.50 metres to 1.00 metre has a
percentage reduction of 18% (Refer to Appendix VI for equation), and this value increases to 24%
from the tree height of 0.50 metres to 1.50 metres. Fielding (1952) on his research on Monterey pine
trees, also found that some trees showed a progressive decrease in the moisture content, as the tree
height increased. The reason for this maybe due to the fact that the lower parts of the trees have a
closer proximity to the soil surface. In this location the organic matter content of the top layer of soil
is relatively high due to seasonal tree leaves deposition of perennial trees and a good cover of grass
surface, this creates a higher moisture retention of top soil therefore lower parts of the trees get more
moisture contact. Claire Shi (2016), conducted a similar research on trees at a different area at the
Victoria Esplanade. The results from her research show that the moisture

Introduction
Data of different data types such as text, audio, video are present in large amounts in multimedia
databases .Ordering or retrieving such date is quite tedious and time consuming. Hence there should
be an efficient indexing mechanism for easier retrieval of such data objects. There are various
indexing techniques. The paper presents various efficient indexing techniques multimedia database
comparing and contrasting them.

The time taken by query to retrieve the data in multimedia database is very high when compared
with normal databases that do not contain multimedia files. This is because of the indexing structure
used in databases. The regular indexing model is not exactly suitable for the multimedia ... Show

This approach is dynamic and allows for efficient retrieval of data items without any basic indexing
structure as progressive query is used. However the progressive Query gives optimal result only
under progressive query condition. Even noise in the audio or video is not considered in the
database.
In the current industry, uses of digital libraries have increased rapidly leading to the growth of
multimedia data. Hence it is really difficult to access the huge amounts of data. There is need for an
efficient approach to organize the data and access the data in really short span of time. This system
[4] follows a tree structure to index the data and access every node. The nodes are divided leaf nodes
and non–leaf node, leaf node having information of its distance to the nearest neighbor, dimensional
features of the node itself. It is implemented as arrays of information, containing the address to leaf
nodes and minimum distance to the neighboring nodes similar non–leaf node. In this way the nodes
are arranged and indexed, used as indexes to make searching easy. In the approach nearest neighbor
can be accessed easily. Since single indexing is used for entire system, the same indexing can be
used for both inserting and deleting. It also works in high dimensional environment. The

Analysis Of Cyan's Sunridge Chestnut
Blaze Cyan is a detailed printmaker who works in etching. His artwork beautifully discovers the
intricate beauty of the tree. Starting out by sketching with technical pens and watercolors, Cyan
reworks his pieces until he is able to make them unique. He uses old photographs to create the
artwork, to inspire his imagination and to create new possibilities. Using the structure, shape, and
texture of trees, he creates an image with unity and diversity. Beginning with the sugar lift and
aquatint method, Cyan creates a backdrop that varies in value in the tree. After etching the first time,
hard opaque ground covers the plate, which allows Cyan to create numerous linework. Cyan uses
black and white in his pieces to emphasize the complex design and add a impressive quality to his
work. "Sunridge Chesnut" created in 2011, is one of Cyan's ... Show more content on

His desire is for the viewer to appreciate not only the tree form itself, but also it's character.
Inspiration for creating his pieces come from Victorian illustrators and oriental prints. By looking at
these resources, Cyan came to the realization that no two will ever be alike. Each piece has unique
diversity that sets the individual artwork apart. "Sunridge Chestnut" illustrates this idea beautifully
as lines are used in different directions and the tree takes on almost a new shape of its own. One can
look at this piece for hours on end, without truly discovering the full artwork in its totality. Cyan
really desires the audience to almost be lost within the picture, continuing to look for new additions.
In "Hallowed Etching," Cyan uses multiple shapes and values to support this idea. One reason why
Cyan picked trees as subject matter was because its growth is gradual over time. Even at the end of
human life, a tree will (most likely) still be in place, calmly growing. The character of every tree
evolves into something stronger, deeper, and represents a ideal that is globally

Scrubby Flatwood Background
Sandhill
Sandhill occurs in the uplands on crests and ridges of gently rolling topography. Sandhill is
characterized by an open overstory of widely–spaced longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), sparse
understory of fire–suppressed deciduous scrub oaks and a diverse groundcover of grasses, forbs and
low growing shrubs. Soil is deep, excessively drained, marine–deposited sand of the Lakeland
series. Rapid permeability allows for expeditious aquifer recharge with little to no runoff, however,
nutrients are easily leached, hence soils are generally infertile. In order to maintain open structure,
this xeric upland habitat requires frequent (3 to 5 years), low–intensity, growing season fire.

Introduction A key component of any ecosystem on Earth is the presence of plants. Within these
plants, variation and diversity are abundant. Plants can vary in many characteristics, such as leaf
structure, height, bark structure, and diameter at breast height. The culmination of this variety
among plants is termed the biodiversity of plants, which encompasses three realms: species
diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity pertains to the variety of
species in a specific ecosystem. Genetic diversity refers to variation in specific traits among
individuals of the same species. Finally, ecosystem diversity refers to the variation of ecosystems in
a specific area. For purposes of this study, we will only focus on species diversity. Studying species
diversity of plants entails measuring the amount and size of different species in a given area. The
importance of this type of study stretches far beyond observation and results. Species diversity
among plants in an ecosystem is vital to the sustainability of that ecosystem. An ecosystem with
greater species diversity uses its resources more efficiently, making it more productive. In addition,
greater plant diversity leads to greater community biomass due to reduced nutrient loss and
increased carbon reserves (Tilman et al., 1997). Our study primarily

Induction Of Decision Trees : Analysis
The paper, Induction of Decision Trees, briefly discusses the history of machine learning algorithms,
the decision tree family of algorithms and their various use cases before giving an in depth
explanation of the ID3 algorithm. This essay focuses on a couple of central ideas behind induction
on decision trees. The first section will contain general background information and context leading
up to the creation of decision trees. Once the context is established, there will be a quick
introduction into the ID3 algorithm. This will be followed by a more rigorous discussion of the
concepts of shannon's entropy and information gain. Following the discussion on entropy there will
be a quick overview on the proposed methods of handling noisy data. The last section will contain a

This is significant because it emphasizes the melancholy and mournfulness that he depicts with

would have planted as a "green sapling rising among the twisted apple boughs". The author uses
visual color imagery of the color green to describe the sapling in order to emphasize just how young
the newborn was when he died. Later on in the poem, the narrator speaks of himself and his brothers
kneeling in front of the newly plated tree. The fact that they are kneeling represents respect for the
deceased. When the narrator mentions that the weather is cold it is a reference back to the first
stanza when he says "of an old year coming to an end". Later on in the third stanza the author writes
"all that remains above earth of a first born son" which means that the deceased child has been
buried. They also compare the child to the size of "a few stray atoms" to emphasize that he was an

Forest Observation Paper
In the North Carolinian piedmont, there are several different forest communities. The main types
are, loblolly/ slash pine forest, mesic forest, oak forest, and floodplain forest (NC Wildlife 2015).
Soil types, elevation, climate, and nutrient availability are important components of determining
forest types. There are also certain species, considered indicators that help predict the type of forest
community. The change in environmental factors and species distribution allow for different forest
types (Cortes, Islebe 2005). Measuring the environmental factors of a plot and identifying the
different species present can predict Forest types and is commonly done by land and forest managers

The physicians have a separate line of authority that runs from the medical director to the other
physicians.
Weaknesses of a functional/parallel structure include the possibility of poor coordination across
departments and the possibility that decision–making responsibilities may overload top leaders
(Sullivan & Decker, 2009). Although the official organizational structure of Lone Tree Convalescent
Hospital delineates a clear chain of command, the organizational culture and environment supports a
less structured approach to day–to–day operations. Diagonal communication, teamwork across
departments, and decentralized decision–making are embraced in the organizational culture, helping
to overcome the weaknesses of functional/parallel structure. Diagonal communication occurs
between individuals at different levels of the organizational hierarchy (Sullivan & Decker, 2009).
Diagonal communications are frequent at Lone Tree Convalescent Hospital. As an example, a staff
nurse may discuss an issue with the facility manager before discussing it with the director of nurses.
Although this does not follow the official chain of command, these communications are considered
acceptable and even encouraged. In a larger organization, this type of communication could result in
conflict or difficulties resolving issues. Lone Tree, however, is a small organization and top leaders

The baobab tree of genus Adansonia and family bombacaceae has for a long time established itself
not only as one of the tallest trees but also as one of the most ecologically profiting trees.
Madagascar however has six of the eight species of the baobab tree and African and Australia
having the other two species. Regardless of its location in the world, the tree has been subject to
gradual decline and consistent survival crisis. Consequently, it has been listed as endangered. The
factors leading to its decline ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The main threat to this species has been distinguished to be climatic changes which are additionally
estimated to cause a decline of the species' habitat to 6500 square kilometers by the year 2080 from
the current 21000 square kilometers. The Adansonia suarezensis on the other hand was denoted to
comprise of 15,000 trees within the same time interval over 1200 square kilometer (Oldfield, 2014).
Further research estimates that this specific species will further decline and may face probable
extinction by the year 2080. Pivotal emphasis will however be placed on the Adansonia digitata
which is regarded as the African Baobab. The decline percentage of the Adansonia digitata has been
established to be relatively high, but no specific number of current remaining trees has been
established(Watson, 2007). The future estimations of the baobab trees have been centered on the
hypothesis that there will be zero colonization by the baobab in new environs as there probability of
the tree to spread to new environs on its own is comparatively very low or almost no possibility.

The Adansonia digitata is primarily found within the semiarid lands of Africa, and precisely within

Emerald Ash Borer Essay
The Emerald Ash Borer is a phloem–feeding beetle that is native to Asia and has been increasing its
presence in the US. The beetle is invasive, harmful to native ash trees, and has the ability to spread
(Kovacs et al., 2010). The invasive beetles cause destruction to ash trees in a gradual process, that
usually lasts three years. The beetles initiate the attack along the upper trunk and bases of main
branches and then work their way down (Winners, 2002). The adult beetles lay eggs on the ash tree's
bark and when they hatch, the larvae bore into the bark and feed on the transportation tissues of the
tree (NCFS, 2016). This causes disruption of the movement of nutrients and water within the tree.
Since the bug resides and lays eggs within the tree's bark, they are hard to recognize until the ...

The trees do a lot of evapotranspiration, so if the borer destroyed them, the watershed levels would
increase. This increase would negatively affect plant diversity because invasive species and grasses
would start to become present. In urban areas, there is usually more diversity, so the absence of
black ash would not affect the habitat that significantly. Also, if a tree dies in an urban environment,
another one can be planted. On the other hand, in a forested wetland, if black ash trees start dying
they would be very hard to replace and replenish. Slesak et al., 2014 state that if evapotranspiration
is affected, a shift in the vegetation would occur and favor herbaceous vegetation rather than trees.
There are various methods used to manage the spread of EAB to black ash forested wetlands.
Mercader et al., 2011 bring up one method, which consists of removing ash trees to reduce available
host phloem resource. Basically, foresters cut down trees that can host EAB, attempting to eliminate
their presence. A different method, brought up by BenDor et al., 2006, consists of implementing

The overall collection of software, referred to as CMSSW, is built around a Framework, an Event
Data Model (EDM), and Services needed by the simulation, calibration and alignment, and
reconstruction modules that process event data so that physicists can perform analysis. The primary
goal of the Framework and EDM is to facilitate the development and deployment of reconstruction
and analysis software.
The CMSSW event processing model consists of one executable, called cmsRun, is configured at
run time by the user 's job–specific configuration file that tells cmsRun which data to use which
modules to execute, which parameter settings to use for each module, what is the order or the
executions of modules, called path, how the events are filtered within each path, and how the paths
are connected to the output files. The goal of L1 HGCAL software is to simulate the L1 electronics
and data processing of the HGCAL to carry out analysis of the different objects.
3.2 WORKING
The main concept used in this software is that it does the task of simulation of electronics and

Cottonwood Research Papers
Cottonwood Trees
Native to the United States, cottonwood trees' preferred habitat in the wild include moist bottomland
areas and around lakes and streams. Those wishing to add one to their landscape need to consider all
aspects of the tree before planting, as the tree has a variety of drawbacks that don't make it suitable
for many locations.
Basic Description
Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoids), which is also its common name, is a fast–growing deciduous
tree that obtains an additional 6–feet of growth yearly and reaches a mature height and width of
100–feet. Due to this habit of quick growth, the wood is soft and brittle, breaking easily in windy
conditions.
Bark, Stems and Foliage
The bark and trunk on a mature cottonwood tree is deeply furrowed, thick and gray and with
younger trees, the bark is a greenish–gray. Young stems and branches are a yellowish–green in color,
changing to a grayish color as they age. Mature trees develop an open and irregular–shaped crown.
Foliage is thick and heart–shaped with coarse ridges lining the edges, averaging 2– to 6–inches long.
During the growing season their color is green, changing to yellow during the fall before the foliage
drops during the winter months. The several inch long and flattened petiole allow the leaves to flap
from side to side in windy conditions.
Flowers and Seeds
Eastern cottonwood trees are dioecious, meaning there are male and female trees producing flowers,
though the female trees are the ones

A Note On Detection Algorithm
2.1 PAGE CHANGE DETECTION ALGORITHM
2.1.1 Introduction: About 60% of the content on the web is dynamic. It is quiet possible that after
downloading a particular web page, the local copy of the page residing in the repository of the web
pages becomes obsolete compared to the copy on the web. Therefore a need arises to update the
database of web pages. Once a decision has been taken to update the pages, it should be ensured that
minimal resources are used in the process. Updating only those elements of the database, which
have actually undergone a change, can do this. Importance of web pages to be downloaded has been
discussed in the above section. It also checks whether the page is already there in the database or not
and lowers its priority value if it is referred rather frequently. In this section, we discuss some
algorithms to derive certain parameters, which can help in deriving the fact whether the page has
changed, or not. These parameters will be calculated at the time of page parsing. When the client
again counters the same URL, it just calculates the code by parsing the page without downloading
the page and compares it to the current parameters. If changes in parameters are detected, it is
concluded that the page has changed and needs to be downloaded again. Otherwise the URL is
discarded immediately without further processing. The following changes are of importance when
considering changes in a web page:
Change in page structure.
Change in text contents.

What Is Figure 3-1 Demonstrate A Tree-Like Structure Or...
The diagram on Figure 3–1 demonstrates a tree–like structure or web with several different branches
going in multiple directions. The top of the tree lists the three domains of life and specific kingdoms
or groups within each domain. These groups are put together because they contain similar
characteristics that define them to a specific domain. In the middle of the figure there are many
arrows intertwining signifying that each of the groups within the domain are somehow related to
each other and may share some of the characteristics from another domain. Finally, the bottom of
the structure demonstrates the cut off web that arose from the same direction, proposing they each
are derived from a common ancestor. The cladogram is a much different structure that demonstrates
the three domains of life and their relationship through detailed characteristics that they share or

remain similar to the domain before. In this structure, there is clear unique characteristics that were

Factors Affecting The Palm Tree Trimming Services
Factors to consider during palm tree trimming and the best time to do that
Description: Wondering when to take up palm tree trimming? There is no fixed time of trimming but
whenever you feel the need, call up professionals for help.
Specialized companies all across the globe offer professional tree trimming services. In fact, no one
likes to cut or trim a fully grown, beautiful palm tree. But then, it becomes necessary most of the
times. If the tree is overgrown, it may impede the appearance of your lawn. It can also intervene
with the utility lines. The roots of the palm tree may get through the main foundation and the very
structure of your home. Thus, there are number of reasons for taking palm tree removal and palm
tree trimming services. Before you trim the palm tree, various factors need to be considered. To let
the trees grow in a healthy manner, trimming is essential. The kind of tree you are trimming, the
condition of the tree matters when you are undertaking tree trimming. There is no particular season
for tree pruning and this activity may be taken anytime you feel the need.
Do you really need the tree trimming and removal?
When you consider tree trimming, you need to take into account whether the pruning is at all
required or not. If the tree is posing a threat to your home foundation and is spreading too much,
trimming must be undertaken. On the other hand, if the tree is diseased, posing a threat to the lives
of other trees, remove that tree from the site.

will provoke different branches of thought and feeling. These deeper feelings are like the leaves on
the tree. They will pull away from the branches, gracefully fall to the ground and feed the roots of
the tree. After the leaves fall, the vicious cycle will repeat. If the reader feels compelled to use the

The Pine Is The Oldest Living Organism On The Planet
Growing in only six states the bristlecone pine is the oldest living organism on the planet. At 4,765
years old the Methuselah is the oldest documented living bristlecone there is, being almost 1,000
years older than its counterparts of the species. The age of this tree can be determined by the amount
of rings that are found when the inner truck is exposed. There is where the truth of the extraordinary
tree and its undeniable ability to outlive all other organisms lies. The bristlecone having the ability
to outlive all other organisms can be questioned but instead of asking how it lives so long it should
be questioned on the reasons for its lengthy pace to die.
The bristlecone pine is known to grow in the White Mountains of eastern California. In that area
conditions are not most desirable and ideal for plants to grow, however the bristlecone has managed
to withstand the harsh conditions and surpass the hands of time. The White Mountains are an area
that experiences short summers with a season for growing only being measured at several weeks.
These mountains also adhere to strong dry winds that travel against rocky souls. These type of
conditions cause any rain water that may fall to either drain off to fast for the plant to absorb or the
water to just evaporate (Matthews, M). With such harsh conditions it is amazing that the bristlecone
is still standing as the oldest living organism, unless it is because of these harsh conditions that the
tree has such longevity.

Heiberg Forest Research Paper
Walking into the primary woodlands of the Heiberg forest you immediately notice the immense
amount of plant diversity. Along the trees I was able to spot different types of ferns that blanketed
the small mounds of dirt, which were also home to enormous sugar maple trees. The bumpy nature
of the ground proved that the land I was walking on had not been clear–cut and plowed, but,
strangely enough, left alone. As we continued along going deeper into the forest, the slight
elevations in ground level began to smooth out, and the amount of plant diversity decreased and
changed from sugar maples to spruces. Not only was there a difference in species, but the order in
which the trees were planted gave way to the secondary woodlot. The height of trees was noticeably
different, which can have effect on the species closer to the surface. Due to the high demand in the
northeast for agricultural and logging purposes, the structure and composition of the Heiberg forest
has changed considerably. Early colonialism in America resulted in deforestation of the land in order
to provide the imperialistic Europe with the resources they desired. This desire most likely stemmed
from the overuse of their own land. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Two limiting factors could be soil quality, and competition between the native and introduced

Fire Suppression And Its Effects On The American Northeast
For most of the 20th century active fire exclusion was the rule in the American southwest. Previous
to suppression policies, ponderosa pine and dry mixed–conifer forests experienced a frequent, low–
to mixed–severity fire regime (Agee 1996, Allen et al. 2002). As a result of a century of fire
suppression, successional trajectories have been significantly altered, in that ponderosa pine and dry
mixed–conifer forests have become increasingly dense with late successional, non–fire–adapted
trees and excess accumulations of surface fuels (Parsons and Debenedetti 1979, Higgens et al.,
2015). Despite efforts to aggressively suppress fires, several large, severe wildfires have occurred
throughout the southwest in recent decades. Post–fire, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Hence, larger patches of high–severity fire may decrease forest resilience or result in unfamiliar
successional trajectories.
The questions facing managers is how will these severely burned areas recover in an era of changing
climate? Will forest structure and vegetation be permanently altered? In areas where past high–
severity fires have burned, recent large fires have struck again, further complicating stand recovery
and adding another challenge for land managers; thus, we will need greater insight as to how, and if,
high–severity burned areas can continually recover (Seager and Vecchi 2010). Improved
understanding of the processes of successional changes in mixed–conifer forests will help facilitate
management efforts to sustain the many resources valued in these ecosystems (Meng, 2015).
Though many studies of post–fire succession exist, due to methodological constraints at the
temporal scale, many studies are limited to either long–term (Abella et al. 2015, O 'Connor et al.
2014, Odion et al., 2014) succession or short–term (Higgens et al. 2014, Keeling et al. 2006, Mast &
Wolf 2006) successional studies or monitoring permanent plots for successive years (Moore et al.
2004). We propose to quantify a space–for–time sequence of successional trajectories across the

Binary Search Tree Investigation
Welcome to my commentary about trees.

The reason why we use trees in mathematics is for organizing data into a structured manner and to

The advantage of using a tree structure is due to it's ability of holding continuous real–world data,
which can be added and deleted at any time.

Step Three: Implementing Boolean Logic
As earlier referred to with Boolean logic, when we talk about modulus operation, it either is or it
isn't – black & white, on and off, or 0 or 1. The outcome, however, is always true in boolean logic
because something "always" happens, one way or another.
This means there are two possible choices for the remainder, one negative and the other positive,
and there are also two possible choices for the quotient. Usually, in number theory, the positive
remainder is always chosen, but programming languages choose depending on the language and the
signs of a and n.
Modulo operations might be implemented such that a division with a remainder is calculated each
time. In this way, the hashValue is found, and thus it serves its purpose to find the "remainder
Further examples of Modulo operation, concerning boolean logic in mathematics:

Symbolism In Claude Lorrain
While opinion and interpretation concerning the works of Claude Lorrain (1600–82) have shifted
over the past three centuries, to present–day scholars, the artist is nonetheless regarded as a father of
classical landscape painting. Largely recognized for his sprawling scenes of nature meeting old–
world civilization, the artist masterfully juxtaposes timeless natural scenes with figures and
architecture that evoke a sense of classical antiquity. While mythological themes would have been in
step with the motif trends of his era, Lorrain distinguishes himself from his contemporaries as a
landscape painter who seamlessly marries realistic natural scenes with fantastical narratives.
Landscape with Egeria Mourning the Death of Numa [fig. 1]) is emblematic of Lorrain's symbiosis
between the natural and the civilized. And the analysis herein will demonstrate that the piece fully
encapsulates the character of his most notable landscapes. Composed by a student of Claude Lorrain
in the 18th century (a copy of an original 1669 work by Lorrain), this work is done in oil on canvas
and depicts a scenic scape of rustic architecture nestled into lush wilderness. The color utilized in
this work is both complementary and deeply contrasting. The rich, earthen colors of the shrouded
forest setting and architecture juxtapose against the pale, muted sky. The sky begins at the top of the

Birches By Robert Frost Analysis
Robert Frost's "Birches" depicts the relationships between imagination and reality, liberation and
confinement, and youth and adulthood. The speaker of the poem battles with his current life–
adulthood, and uses his reminiscences of adolescence and his imagination as a means to escape from
his reality for a period of time. Frost uses three different themes that he presents in three sections to
represent his emotions: nature, a young boy, and a mature man who has the opportunity to reflect on
his past and current life. The use of nature helps the narrator of the poem to connect his life to his
surroundings. His connection with nature helps him come to a realization about his life, which
ultimately sparks the use of his avid imagination. The young boy represents the speaker in his youth
where he was free, had adventures, and had no demanding obligations. He represents a state of full
possibility where the narrator was able to explore any opportunity without harsh consequences. The
man at the end of the poem, is the speaker who is taking his whole life into consideration. He is
analyzing all the positives and negatives and figuring out the overall meaning of his life. Ultimately,
his reflection leads him to come to the conclusion that he took his youth for granted. Each section of
the speaker's life symbolizes his sense of yearning for adolescence and an escape from the
restrictions of his current state of life, adulthood. The setting of "Birches" is not explicitly stated

The Importance Of Species Diversity
Introduction A key component of any ecosystem on Earth is the presence of plants. Within these
plants, variation and diversity are abundant. Plants can vary in many characteristics, such as leaf
structure, height, bark structure, and diameter at breast height. The culmination of this variety
among plants is termed the biodiversity of plants, which encompasses three realms: species
diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity pertains to the variety of
species in a specific ecosystem. Genetic diversity refers to variation in specific traits among
individuals of the same species. Finally, ecosystem diversity refers to the variation of ecosystems in
a specific area. For purposes of this study, we will only focus on species diversity. Studying species
diversity of plants entails measuring the amount and size of different species in a given area. The
importance of this type of study stretches far beyond observation and results. Species diversity
among plants in an ecosystem is vital to the sustainability of that ecosystem. An ecosystem with
greater species diversity uses its resources more efficiently, making it more productive. In addition,
greater plant diversity leads to greater community biomass due to reduced nutrient loss and
increased carbon reserves (Tilman and Lehman, 1997). Our study primarily focuses on the species
diversity of trees at the Case Western Reserve University farm. More specifically, the area of interest

The Use Of Lichen And Its Effect On The Environment
Lichens are widely distributed in many different areas and can be found inhabited within harsh
habitats such as dry arid hot deserts and freezing mountain tops. Environmental factors such as
temperature, sun exposure levels, and the pH levels of soil influence the growth of Lichens. Their
natural structure and symbiotic relationship with fungus and a photosynthetic partner has given
these organisms the ability to survive such harsh and exposed environments. Their ability to absorb
substances and minerals dissolved in rain and dew has also enabled Lichen to live and survive in
such extreme areas, but this ability has had the effect of making them very sensitive to pollutants in
the air; and therefore cannot survive in polluted areas such as the city because of automobile traffic
such as cars, and industrial activity. Lichen can be found growing within soil, on the surface layer of
rocks, and most commonly, they are found growing on the bark of trees (Raven et al. 2010, p. 626–
627).
The graph above shows that the south aspect of most of the trees in Campbelltown Campus had the
greatest surface area of lichen coverage on the tree trunk, compared to the other aspects (east, north
and west). The east aspect had the second highest average cell count of lichen coverage. The north

Deconstructing of Forest and Woodland
Introduction
The definitions for the words "forest" and "woodland" are heterogeneous around the world and are
circumscribed to each country´s structural stands in local eco–regions.
Countries as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, India, Japan, Mexico or US, with a great
diversity of climates and soil conditions attributable to their large land extensions and altitude
gradients (Borja–Jimenez et al. 2013), can be identified as territories with high variety of forests and
woodlands.
The great diversity and diffuse thresholds among ecosystems difficult construction of criteria for
their classification into inventories and application of management and conservation policies.
Box & Fujiwara (2013) differentiate forests from woodlands: forest is an ecosystem dominated by
tall trees, in a closed structure (considered closed when tree crowns are touching) and woodland is
an ecosystem dominated by tall or short trees with an open distribution.
The etymology of both words has different meanings according to the language. In Chinese, 森林
(sēnlín), the first character, sēn (also mori in Japanese) means "tree", "forest", "dark", "gloomy"; the
second character, lín, means "forest", "grove", "thicket", "wood". Differently, 林地 (líndì) means
"wood" (first character) –"land" (second character). It also means "holt" that means "little forest".

In the nature the Dragon–blood tree drops its seeds underneath their canopies which protects the
seeds from full sunlight. The seeds get there sunlight from the domed branches and they keep warm
from the warm climate that surrounds the seed. The second thing you do to grow a dragon–blood
tree is change the water daily during the soaking period which then lasts three to five days. The
water will get cooler and cooler during the course of the day which this provides warm water. If you
do this repeatedly every day the better the chances of the dragon–blood tree is to live and have a
successful germination period. The third thing you do to grow a dragon–blood tree is find a place
that you want a future seedling place. For the seeds to sprout successfully is the seeds have to be
sown in a place that is sixty eight degrees or higher. Also make sure the seeds have full sunlight
because this allows the seeds embryos to grow over time. The fourth step you need to do is to take
the seeds out of the cup and after that you need to put the seeds into a limestone based soil. Each
seed should be just under the baseline of the soil and the soil should have drain holes on the bottom
if you use a pot so you don't waterlogue the seeds and kill them. The fifth step is you should keep
the soil damp so the seeds don't get too much water and die. The sixth and final step that you should

Multi-objective Reconfiguration of Electrical Distribution...
EDSs are mainly designed meshed but operated radially for some technical and financial concerns.
Distribution networks can be represented with a graph in ordered pairs consisting of a set of
vertices, i.e. buses and a set of edges, i.e. branches; in terms of mathematics this equivalents to a
sparse matrix which its non–zero elements signifies the existence of an edge in the system. On this
basis a typical distribution network is radial if it forms a tree where each load bus is exactly supplied
from one source node, i.e. substation bus [11]. This suggests MOEDNRC problem as identifying the
set of non–dominated trees of the given graph. In this section we've devised a heuristic technique
based on this idea as well as the rules defined in [30] to retain the connectivity and radial properties
of individuals during the optimization process. It's worth mentioning that these properties are
broadly disturbed by EAs due to the stochastic nature of these algorithms unless a heuristic plan is
devised to preserve the mentioned properties. As a result generation of infeasible agents in sheer
numbers by EAs is quite a normal observation. The proposed technique is able to prevail over this
shortcoming and would increase the performance of EAs as well. Before proceeding with the
designed technique, some terminologies are first introduced to set the stage for the plan.

Essay On Xoxy Paine

  • 1. Essay On Xoxy Paine Created to help grow recognition of the Museum, the project of Modern Sculpture Initiative collected identifiable sculptures in the Kansas City Sculpture Park at the Nelson–Atkins Museum (Paine 15). This park holds pieces from Henry Moore and the duo Claes Oldenburg and Coosje Van Bruggen. As a gift to retired Martin Friedman, who was the advisor of the Modern Sculpture Initiative and director of the Walker, he got to commission a work by the artist of his choosing (Roxy Paine's), 2010). With help from the Hall Family Foundation, a dendroid installation called Ferment by Roxy Paine was the newest addition in 2011 (Paine 17). Since Paine has 24 dendroid sculptures spread across North America, it is an honor to have one that gave excitement and quality to the park (Roxy Paine's, 2010). Curator Jan Schall expressed, "Roxy Paine is one of the most important young sculptors today. Ferment will be the reigning monarch on that hillside. It is an outstanding addition to the collection that will enlighten, perplex and delight everyone who sees it. ("Roxy Paine's", 2010)" When a person goes to the Nelson–Atkins Museum, they may see a tall, shiny tree in the park. However, this installation ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... By definition, ferment is something as a yeast, bacterium, mold, or enzyme that causes fermentation or it is to make turbulent, excite (Paine 43). From the article "Roxie Paine Branches Out in KC" Paine expressed, "I was trying to create this turning, swirling, very dynamic force. (It is) almost uncontrolled, but then it's frozen in this material that is extremely stable, extremely hard" (Strong, 2011). For Paine, many of his dendroids exemplify contradictions within itself. For the Ferment, it is considered lifeless by its look, but it goes deeper into symbolizing unity between heaven, earth and the underworld (Paine 43). Stated in the book Roxy Paine: Ferment, it further explains his reasons for the name of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 5. The Low Coefficient Of The Lichen Population Discussion: The overall variation of the mean moisture content of tree bark, and the mean distribution of the Lichen population in relation to the increasing height of the tree from the ground level is shown in Figure 1. It was observed that there is a remarkable reduction in the mean moisture content of the bark as the height of the tree increased. Hence there is a strong relationship between the mean moisture content and the tree height as supported by the high coefficient of determination value (R2 = 0.96136). The mean moisture content from the tree height of 0.50 metres to 1.00 metre has a percentage reduction of 18% (Refer to Appendix VI for equation), and this value increases to 24% from the tree height of 0.50 metres to 1.50 metres. Fielding (1952) on his research on Monterey pine trees, also found that some trees showed a progressive decrease in the moisture content, as the tree height increased. The reason for this maybe due to the fact that the lower parts of the trees have a closer proximity to the soil surface. In this location the organic matter content of the top layer of soil is relatively high due to seasonal tree leaves deposition of perennial trees and a good cover of grass surface, this creates a higher moisture retention of top soil therefore lower parts of the trees get more moisture contact. Claire Shi (2016), conducted a similar research on trees at a different area at the Victoria Esplanade. The results from her research show that the moisture ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Introduction Data of different data types such as text, audio, video are present in large amounts in multimedia databases .Ordering or retrieving such date is quite tedious and time consuming. Hence there should be an efficient indexing mechanism for easier retrieval of such data objects. There are various indexing techniques. The paper presents various efficient indexing techniques multimedia database comparing and contrasting them. Section– 2. The time taken by query to retrieve the data in multimedia database is very high when compared with normal databases that do not contain multimedia files. This is because of the indexing structure used in databases. The regular indexing model is not exactly suitable for the multimedia ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This approach is dynamic and allows for efficient retrieval of data items without any basic indexing structure as progressive query is used. However the progressive Query gives optimal result only under progressive query condition. Even noise in the audio or video is not considered in the database. In the current industry, uses of digital libraries have increased rapidly leading to the growth of multimedia data. Hence it is really difficult to access the huge amounts of data. There is need for an efficient approach to organize the data and access the data in really short span of time. This system [4] follows a tree structure to index the data and access every node. The nodes are divided leaf nodes and non–leaf node, leaf node having information of its distance to the nearest neighbor, dimensional features of the node itself. It is implemented as arrays of information, containing the address to leaf nodes and minimum distance to the neighboring nodes similar non–leaf node. In this way the nodes are arranged and indexed, used as indexes to make searching easy. In the approach nearest neighbor can be accessed easily. Since single indexing is used for entire system, the same indexing can be used for both inserting and deleting. It also works in high dimensional environment. The ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 11. Analysis Of Cyan's Sunridge Chestnut Blaze Cyan is a detailed printmaker who works in etching. His artwork beautifully discovers the intricate beauty of the tree. Starting out by sketching with technical pens and watercolors, Cyan reworks his pieces until he is able to make them unique. He uses old photographs to create the artwork, to inspire his imagination and to create new possibilities. Using the structure, shape, and texture of trees, he creates an image with unity and diversity. Beginning with the sugar lift and aquatint method, Cyan creates a backdrop that varies in value in the tree. After etching the first time, hard opaque ground covers the plate, which allows Cyan to create numerous linework. Cyan uses black and white in his pieces to emphasize the complex design and add a impressive quality to his work. "Sunridge Chesnut" created in 2011, is one of Cyan's ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... His desire is for the viewer to appreciate not only the tree form itself, but also it's character. Inspiration for creating his pieces come from Victorian illustrators and oriental prints. By looking at these resources, Cyan came to the realization that no two will ever be alike. Each piece has unique diversity that sets the individual artwork apart. "Sunridge Chestnut" illustrates this idea beautifully as lines are used in different directions and the tree takes on almost a new shape of its own. One can look at this piece for hours on end, without truly discovering the full artwork in its totality. Cyan really desires the audience to almost be lost within the picture, continuing to look for new additions. In "Hallowed Etching," Cyan uses multiple shapes and values to support this idea. One reason why Cyan picked trees as subject matter was because its growth is gradual over time. Even at the end of human life, a tree will (most likely) still be in place, calmly growing. The character of every tree evolves into something stronger, deeper, and represents a ideal that is globally ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 13. Scrubby Flatwood Background Sandhill Sandhill occurs in the uplands on crests and ridges of gently rolling topography. Sandhill is characterized by an open overstory of widely–spaced longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), sparse understory of fire–suppressed deciduous scrub oaks and a diverse groundcover of grasses, forbs and low growing shrubs. Soil is deep, excessively drained, marine–deposited sand of the Lakeland series. Rapid permeability allows for expeditious aquifer recharge with little to no runoff, however, nutrients are easily leached, hence soils are generally infertile. In order to maintain open structure, this xeric upland habitat requires frequent (3 to 5 years), low–intensity, growing season fire. Species include a canopy of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ...

Fagus Grandifolia And Acer Saccharum Case Study Prevalence of Fagus grandifolia and Acer saccharum at Case Western Reserve University farm Gowtham Yerneni Case Western Reserve University Introduction A key component of any ecosystem on Earth is the presence of plants. Within these plants, variation and diversity are abundant. Plants can vary in many characteristics, such as leaf structure, height, bark structure, and diameter at breast height. The culmination of this variety among plants is termed the biodiversity of plants, which encompasses three realms: species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity pertains to the variety of species in a specific ecosystem. Genetic diversity refers to variation in specific traits among individuals of the same species. Finally, ecosystem diversity refers to the variation of ecosystems in a specific area. For purposes of this study, we will only focus on species diversity. Studying species diversity of plants entails measuring the amount and size of different species in a given area. The importance of this type of study stretches far beyond observation and results. Species diversity among plants in an ecosystem is vital to the sustainability of that ecosystem. An ecosystem with greater species diversity uses its resources more efficiently, making it more productive. In addition, greater plant diversity leads to greater community biomass due to reduced nutrient loss and increased carbon reserves (Tilman et al., 1997). Our study primarily ...

Induction Of Decision Trees : Analysis The paper, Induction of Decision Trees, briefly discusses the history of machine learning algorithms, the decision tree family of algorithms and their various use cases before giving an in depth explanation of the ID3 algorithm. This essay focuses on a couple of central ideas behind induction on decision trees. The first section will contain general background information and context leading up to the creation of decision trees. Once the context is established, there will be a quick introduction into the ID3 algorithm. This will be followed by a more rigorous discussion of the concepts of shannon's entropy and information gain. Following the discussion on entropy there will be a quick overview on the proposed methods of handling noisy data. The last section will contain a critique of the paper. The field of artificial intelligence gained in popularity during the twentieth century, accompanying the rise in ubiquity of computers. During this time, the main goal of research was to use computers to solve problems in an intelligent manner. In other words, researchers sought to develop algorithms that learn how to solve problems. Quinlan mentions that one group of researchers focused on creating programs that learn through a feedback cycle of self–testing and "adjusting internal parameters." A good example of this would be a program written to play checkers against itself many thousands of times. Each time a sequences of moves produces a winning result, that sequence is given a ...

This is significant because it emphasizes the melancholy and mournfulness that he depicts with imagery in the first stanza. Later on in the second stanza, he author describes the tree the narrator would have planted as a "green sapling rising among the twisted apple boughs". The author uses visual color imagery of the color green to describe the sapling in order to emphasize just how young the newborn was when he died. Later on in the poem, the narrator speaks of himself and his brothers kneeling in front of the newly plated tree. The fact that they are kneeling represents respect for the deceased. When the narrator mentions that the weather is cold it is a reference back to the first stanza when he says "of an old year coming to an end". Later on in the third stanza the author writes "all that remains above earth of a first born son" which means that the deceased child has been buried. They also compare the child to the size of "a few stray atoms" to emphasize that he was an infant. All of these symbols and comparisons to are significant because they are tied to the central assertion of remembrance and honoring of the dead with the family and rebirth.

The main types are, loblolly/ slash pine forest, mesic forest, oak forest, and floodplain forest (NC Wildlife 2015). Soil types, elevation, climate, and nutrient availability are important components of determining forest types. There are also certain species, considered indicators that help predict the type of forest community. The change in environmental factors and species distribution allow for different forest types (Cortes, Islebe 2005).

Organizational Structure and Culture Organizational structure is the hierarchy of authority and description of the arrangement of employees within an organization (Sullivan & Decker, 2009). Organizational culture is the pattern of learned values, attitudes, and behaviors in the organization's members (Schein, 1990). Organizational environment describes the conditions of the work setting.

The physicians have a separate line of authority that runs from the medical director to the other physicians. Weaknesses of a functional/parallel structure include the possibility of poor coordination across departments and the possibility that decision–making responsibilities may overload top leaders (Sullivan & Decker, 2009). Although the official organizational structure of Lone Tree Convalescent Hospital delineates a clear chain of command, the organizational culture and environment supports a less structured approach to day–to–day operations. Diagonal communication, teamwork across departments, and decentralized decision–making are embraced in the organizational culture, helping to overcome the weaknesses of functional/parallel structure. Diagonal communication occurs between individuals at different levels of the organizational hierarchy (Sullivan & Decker, 2009). Diagonal communications are frequent at Lone Tree Convalescent Hospital. As an example, a staff nurse may discuss an issue with the facility manager before discussing it with the director of nurses. Although this does not follow the official chain of command, these communications are considered acceptable and even encouraged.

Madagascar however has six of the eight species of the baobab tree and African and Australia having the other two species. Regardless of its location in the world, the tree has been subject to gradual decline and consistent survival crisis. Consequently, it has been listed as endangered. The factors leading to its decline ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The main threat to this species has been distinguished to be climatic changes which are additionally estimated to cause a decline of the species' habitat to 6500 square kilometers by the year 2080 from the current 21000 square kilometers. The Adansonia suarezensis on the other hand was denoted to comprise of 15,000 trees within the same time interval over 1200 square kilometer (Oldfield, 2014). Further research estimates that this specific species will further decline and may face probable extinction by the year 2080. Pivotal emphasis will however be placed on the Adansonia digitata which is regarded as the African Baobab. The decline percentage of the Adansonia digitata has been established to be relatively high, but no specific number of current remaining trees has been established(Watson, 2007). The future estimations of the baobab trees have been centered on the hypothesis that there will be zero colonization by the baobab in new environs as there probability of the tree to spread to new environs on its own is comparatively very low or almost no possibility. Characteristics The Adansonia digitata is primarily found within the semiarid lands of Africa, and precisely within the tropical region. However, it is still a possibility to find the species other varied ecosystems such as the coastal areas. However, the species is very rare to find after approaching the desert lands.

  • 34. Emerald Ash Borer Essay The Emerald Ash Borer is a phloem–feeding beetle that is native to Asia and has been increasing its presence in the US. The beetle is invasive, harmful to native ash trees, and has the ability to spread (Kovacs et al., 2010). The invasive beetles cause destruction to ash trees in a gradual process, that usually lasts three years. The beetles initiate the attack along the upper trunk and bases of main branches and then work their way down (Winners, 2002). The adult beetles lay eggs on the ash tree's bark and when they hatch, the larvae bore into the bark and feed on the transportation tissues of the tree (NCFS, 2016). This causes disruption of the movement of nutrients and water within the tree. Since the bug resides and lays eggs within the tree's bark, they are hard to recognize until the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The trees do a lot of evapotranspiration, so if the borer destroyed them, the watershed levels would increase. This increase would negatively affect plant diversity because invasive species and grasses would start to become present. In urban areas, there is usually more diversity, so the absence of black ash would not affect the habitat that significantly. Also, if a tree dies in an urban environment, another one can be planted. On the other hand, in a forested wetland, if black ash trees start dying they would be very hard to replace and replenish. Slesak et al., 2014 state that if evapotranspiration is affected, a shift in the vegetation would occur and favor herbaceous vegetation rather than trees. There are various methods used to manage the spread of EAB to black ash forested wetlands. Mercader et al., 2011 bring up one method, which consists of removing ash trees to reduce available host phloem resource. Basically, foresters cut down trees that can host EAB, attempting to eliminate their presence. A different method, brought up by BenDor et al., 2006, consists of implementing firewood ...

Basic Description Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoids), which is also its common name, is a fast–growing deciduous tree that obtains an additional 6–feet of growth yearly and reaches a mature height and width of 100–feet. Due to this habit of quick growth, the wood is soft and brittle, breaking easily in windy conditions. Bark, Stems and Foliage The bark and trunk on a mature cottonwood tree is deeply furrowed, thick and gray and with younger trees, the bark is a greenish–gray. Young stems and branches are a yellowish–green in color, changing to a grayish color as they age. Mature trees develop an open and irregular–shaped crown. Foliage is thick and heart–shaped with coarse ridges lining the edges, averaging 2– to 6–inches long. During the growing season their color is green, changing to yellow during the fall before the foliage drops during the winter months. The several inch long and flattened petiole allow the leaves to flap from side to side in windy conditions.

It is quiet possible that after downloading a particular web page, the local copy of the page residing in the repository of the web pages becomes obsolete compared to the copy on the web. Therefore a need arises to update the database of web pages. Once a decision has been taken to update the pages, it should be ensured that minimal resources are used in the process. Updating only those elements of the database, which have actually undergone a change, can do this. Importance of web pages to be downloaded has been discussed in the above section. It also checks whether the page is already there in the database or not and lowers its priority value if it is referred rather frequently. In this section, we discuss some algorithms to derive certain parameters, which can help in deriving the fact whether the page has changed, or not. These parameters will be calculated at the time of page parsing. When the client again counters the same URL, it just calculates the code by parsing the page without downloading the page and compares it to the current parameters. If changes in parameters are detected, it is concluded that the page has changed and needs to be downloaded again. Otherwise the URL is discarded immediately without further processing.

At 4,765 years old the Methuselah is the oldest documented living bristlecone there is, being almost 1,000 years older than its counterparts of the species. The age of this tree can be determined by the amount of rings that are found when the inner truck is exposed. There is where the truth of the extraordinary tree and its undeniable ability to outlive all other organisms lies. The bristlecone having the ability to outlive all other organisms can be questioned but instead of asking how it lives so long it should be questioned on the reasons for its lengthy pace to die. The bristlecone pine is known to grow in the White Mountains of eastern California. In that area conditions are not most desirable and ideal for plants to grow, however the bristlecone has managed to withstand the harsh conditions and surpass the hands of time. The White Mountains are an area that experiences short summers with a season for growing only being measured at several weeks. These mountains also adhere to strong dry winds that travel against rocky souls. These type of conditions cause any rain water that may fall to either drain off to fast for the plant to absorb or the water to just evaporate (Matthews, M).

Along the trees I was able to spot different types of ferns that blanketed the small mounds of dirt, which were also home to enormous sugar maple trees. The bumpy nature of the ground proved that the land I was walking on had not been clear–cut and plowed, but, strangely enough, left alone. As we continued along going deeper into the forest, the slight elevations in ground level began to smooth out, and the amount of plant diversity decreased and changed from sugar maples to spruces. Not only was there a difference in species, but the order in which the trees were planted gave way to the secondary woodlot. The height of trees was noticeably different, which can have effect on the species closer to the surface. Due to the high demand in the northeast for agricultural and logging purposes, the structure and composition of the Heiberg forest has changed considerably.

Previous to suppression policies, ponderosa pine and dry mixed–conifer forests experienced a frequent, low– to mixed–severity fire regime (Agee 1996, Allen et al. 2002). As a result of a century of fire suppression, successional trajectories have been significantly altered, in that ponderosa pine and dry mixed–conifer forests have become increasingly dense with late successional, non–fire–adapted trees and excess accumulations of surface fuels (Parsons and Debenedetti 1979, Higgens et al., 2015). Despite efforts to aggressively suppress fires, several large, severe wildfires have occurred throughout the southwest in recent decades. Post–fire, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Hence, larger patches of high–severity fire may decrease forest resilience or result in unfamiliar successional trajectories. The questions facing managers is how will these severely burned areas recover in an era of changing climate? Will forest structure and vegetation be permanently altered? In areas where past high– severity fires have burned, recent large fires have struck again, further complicating stand recovery and adding another challenge for land managers; thus, we will need greater insight as to how, and if, high–severity burned areas can continually recover (Seager and Vecchi 2010). Improved understanding of the processes of successional changes in mixed–conifer forests will help facilitate management efforts to sustain the many resources valued in these ecosystems (Meng, 2015). Though many studies of post–fire succession exist, due to methodological constraints at the temporal scale, many studies are limited to either long–term (Abella et al. 2015, O 'Connor et al. 2014, Odion et al., 2014) succession or short–term (Higgens et al. 2014, Keeling et al. 2006, Mast & Wolf 2006) successional studies or monitoring permanent plots for successive years (Moore et al. 2004).

The outcome, however, is always true in boolean logic because something "always" happens, one way or another. This means there are two possible choices for the remainder, one negative and the other positive, and there are also two possible choices for the quotient. Usually, in number theory, the positive remainder is always chosen, but programming languages choose depending on the language and the signs of a and n.

Symbolism In Claude Lorrain While opinion and interpretation concerning the works of Claude Lorrain (1600–82) have shifted over the past three centuries, to present–day scholars, the artist is nonetheless regarded as a father of classical landscape painting. Largely recognized for his sprawling scenes of nature meeting old– world civilization, the artist masterfully juxtaposes timeless natural scenes with figures and architecture that evoke a sense of classical antiquity. While mythological themes would have been in step with the motif trends of his era, Lorrain distinguishes himself from his contemporaries as a landscape painter who seamlessly marries realistic natural scenes with fantastical narratives. Landscape with Egeria Mourning the Death of Numa [fig. 1]) is emblematic of Lorrain's symbiosis between the natural and the civilized. And the analysis herein will demonstrate that the piece fully encapsulates the character of his most notable landscapes. Composed by a student of Claude Lorrain in the 18th century (a copy of an original 1669 work by Lorrain), this work is done in oil on canvas and depicts a scenic scape of rustic architecture nestled into lush wilderness. The color utilized in this work is both complementary and deeply contrasting. The rich, earthen colors of the shrouded forest setting and architecture juxtapose against the pale, muted sky.

The speaker of the poem battles with his current life– adulthood, and uses his reminiscences of adolescence and his imagination as a means to escape from his reality for a period of time. Frost uses three different themes that he presents in three sections to represent his emotions: nature, a young boy, and a mature man who has the opportunity to reflect on his past and current life. The use of nature helps the narrator of the poem to connect his life to his surroundings. His connection with nature helps him come to a realization about his life, which ultimately sparks the use of his avid imagination. The young boy represents the speaker in his youth where he was free, had adventures, and had no demanding obligations. He represents a state of full possibility where the narrator was able to explore any opportunity without harsh consequences. The man at the end of the poem, is the speaker who is taking his whole life into consideration. He is analyzing all the positives and negatives and figuring out the overall meaning of his life. Ultimately, his reflection leads him to come to the conclusion that he took his youth for granted.

  • 69. The Importance Of Species Diversity Introduction A key component of any ecosystem on Earth is the presence of plants. Within these plants, variation and diversity are abundant. Plants can vary in many characteristics, such as leaf structure, height, bark structure, and diameter at breast height. The culmination of this variety among plants is termed the biodiversity of plants, which encompasses three realms: species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity pertains to the variety of species in a specific ecosystem. Genetic diversity refers to variation in specific traits among individuals of the same species. Finally, ecosystem diversity refers to the variation of ecosystems in a specific area. For purposes of this study, we will only focus on species diversity. Studying species diversity of plants entails measuring the amount and size of different species in a given area. The importance of this type of study stretches far beyond observation and results. Species diversity among plants in an ecosystem is vital to the sustainability of that ecosystem. An ecosystem with greater species diversity uses its resources more efficiently, making it more productive. In addition, greater plant diversity leads to greater community biomass due to reduced nutrient loss and increased carbon reserves (Tilman and Lehman, 1997). Our study primarily focuses on the species diversity of trees at the Case Western Reserve University farm. More specifically, the area of interest is the wooded area to ...

The Use Of Lichen And Its Effect On The Environment Lichens are widely distributed in many different areas and can be found inhabited within harsh habitats such as dry arid hot deserts and freezing mountain tops. Environmental factors such as temperature, sun exposure levels, and the pH levels of soil influence the growth of Lichens. Their natural structure and symbiotic relationship with fungus and a photosynthetic partner has given these organisms the ability to survive such harsh and exposed environments. Their ability to absorb substances and minerals dissolved in rain and dew has also enabled Lichen to live and survive in such extreme areas, but this ability has had the effect of making them very sensitive to pollutants in the air; and therefore cannot survive in polluted areas such as the city because of automobile traffic such as cars, and industrial activity. Lichen can be found growing within soil, on the surface layer of rocks, and most commonly, they are found growing on the bark of trees (Raven et al. 2010, p. 626– 627). The graph above shows that the south aspect of most of the trees in Campbelltown Campus had the greatest surface area of lichen coverage on the tree trunk, compared to the other aspects (east, north and west). The east aspect had the second highest average cell count of lichen coverage. The north and west aspects had a similar cell count which varied by a small amount, with the north aspect having the lowest amount of lichen coverage, and the west being the second lowest. The results did not ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 73. Mark Dion's View On the episode that talked about American artist Mark Dion and his point of view about ecology, I feel that this is really necessary for our society. One of the principal artwork that described in this episode is how the artist used the fallen tree into the building structure. The artist's point of doing this is that the building is created for the nature purpose, and the tree is helpful for his study. As we all can see in the episode, in the beginning part of the episode, we can see that the artist organize people to focus on the research about specific area from the forest, such as moss, fungi, herbariums, and insects. Those things can be easily found in the tree or the surrounding areas. The reason that the artist choose the fallen tree ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In addition, the artist is talking more about the modern problem, which is the most importance topic that people are worry about. As today's world, we can hear many topic that relate to the environment, people are more willing to discussing the problem that are effect their life. With that being said, I think the artist did successful with his art, because it is the theme that people are anxious about. Moreover, I do believed that artist bring many interesting point into his artwork, he makes people see the real life item instead of "death" item. When people enter his building, they may see how the mosses growing, and they may have chance to see another fungi that rely on the tree's surface. These will bring the interest to audience in any ages. People are more willing to see those items that will makes them interesting. Also, I think the artist did achieve the goal he stated for his art. He brings the part of environment to his showroom, and it fall people obsessed, and their sensibilities, and it may also change people's opinion about the art in the better ...

  • 75. Deconstructing of Forest and Woodland Introduction The definitions for the words "forest" and "woodland" are heterogeneous around the world and are circumscribed to each country´s structural stands in local eco–regions. Countries as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, India, Japan, Mexico or US, with a great diversity of climates and soil conditions attributable to their large land extensions and altitude gradients (Borja–Jimenez et al. 2013), can be identified as territories with high variety of forests and woodlands. The great diversity and diffuse thresholds among ecosystems difficult construction of criteria for their classification into inventories and application of management and conservation policies. Box & Fujiwara (2013) differentiate forests from woodlands: forest is an ecosystem dominated by tall trees, in a closed structure (considered closed when tree crowns are touching) and woodland is an ecosystem dominated by tall or short trees with an open distribution. The etymology of both words has different meanings according to the language. In Chinese, 森林 (sēnlín), the first character, sēn (also mori in Japanese) means "tree", "forest", "dark", "gloomy"; the second character, lín, means "forest", "grove", "thicket", "wood". Differently, 林地 (líndì) means "wood" (first character) –"land" (second character). It also means "holt" that means "little forest". The word bosque in Spanish derives from the German word busch meaning "bush", "shrub", "jungle". Different from English, in Spanish the terms ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 77. Research Paper On Dragon Blood Tree Dragon– Blood Tree The reason I picked the Dragon–blood tree is because it is a interesting plant to learn about, also it is one of the coolest trees there is. The reason it is a interesting plant is because the Dragon–blood tree is the one remainder from the subtropical forests that existed during the Pliocene. The reason the Dragon–blood tree is really cool is because it can grow in harsh, arid areas that are rich in limestones. Why the Dragon–Blood Tree is interesting. The reason why the Dragon–Blood Tree is a interesting plant is because it is one of the only trees that is shaped as an umbrella. Also the tree is interesting is because it looks like a giant mushroom and this is because of the single trunk and umbrella–shaped crown. The ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In the nature the Dragon–blood tree drops its seeds underneath their canopies which protects the seeds from full sunlight. The seeds get there sunlight from the domed branches and they keep warm from the warm climate that surrounds the seed. The second thing you do to grow a dragon–blood tree is change the water daily during the soaking period which then lasts three to five days. The water will get cooler and cooler during the course of the day which this provides warm water. If you do this repeatedly every day the better the chances of the dragon–blood tree is to live and have a successful germination period. The third thing you do to grow a dragon–blood tree is find a place that you want a future seedling place. For the seeds to sprout successfully is the seeds have to be sown in a place that is sixty eight degrees or higher. Also make sure the seeds have full sunlight because this allows the seeds embryos to grow over time. The fourth step you need to do is to take the seeds out of the cup and after that you need to put the seeds into a limestone based soil. Each seed should be just under the baseline of the soil and the soil should have drain holes on the bottom if you use a pot so you don't waterlogue the seeds and kill them. The fifth step is you should keep the soil damp so the seeds don't get too much water and die. The sixth and final step that you should do is keep watering the seeds for thirty to forty days. After this time period the seeds should have sprouted by now and if they haven't its most likely you killed ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 79. Multi-objective Reconfiguration of Electrical Distribution... EDSs are mainly designed meshed but operated radially for some technical and financial concerns. Distribution networks can be represented with a graph in ordered pairs consisting of a set of vertices, i.e. buses and a set of edges, i.e. branches; in terms of mathematics this equivalents to a sparse matrix which its non–zero elements signifies the existence of an edge in the system. On this basis a typical distribution network is radial if it forms a tree where each load bus is exactly supplied from one source node, i.e. substation bus [11]. This suggests MOEDNRC problem as identifying the set of non–dominated trees of the given graph. In this section we've devised a heuristic technique based on this idea as well as the rules defined in [30] to retain the connectivity and radial properties of individuals during the optimization process. It's worth mentioning that these properties are broadly disturbed by EAs due to the stochastic nature of these algorithms unless a heuristic plan is devised to preserve the mentioned properties. As a result generation of infeasible agents in sheer numbers by EAs is quite a normal observation. The proposed technique is able to prevail over this shortcoming and would increase the performance of EAs as well. Before proceeding with the designed technique, some terminologies are first introduced to set the stage for the plan. Loop vectors (LVs) The term LV is used to identify branches contributing to forming loops in EDSs when all ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
