Instructions how prepare and write scientific research paper?
1. Follow APA format; Minimum 8 (eight) standard white printed pages; Font size 12; Ariel or Times New Roman; NO bold, underline, or italic the text. All sections and paragraphs may be presented on new page. Submit the paper in folder. Pages could be placed in protected clear plastic sleeves.
2. Cover page – on the top the name of the university (Southern University of Shreveport). In the middle of the page – Title of your paper (you can increase the font size up to 24 and bold or underline, only here). Under the title – presented by (your name) follow by submitted to (my name). At the very bottom centered the course (Microbiology) followed by the semester (Fall 2012). NO page number.
3. Next page – Abstract. An abstract should be viewed as miniature version of the paper. Abstract should provide a brief summary of each of main sections of the paper (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion). Abstract should not exceed 250-500 words or half a page and should be designed to define clearly what is dealt with in the paper. NO page number. Tip – prepare your Abstract after the paper is written.
4. Next page – Table of Content. On this page all the sections (Introduction, etc.) should be listed on the left side and the corresponding page number – on the right side of the page. NO page number.
5. Next page – Introduction. A popular Greek philosopher stated: “A bad beginning makes a bad ending”. The purpose of the Introduction should be to supply sufficient background information to allow the reader to understand and evaluate the results of the present study without needing to refer to previous publications on this topic. It should provide rationale for the present study and should state briefly and clearly your purpose in writing the paper. This is your page # 1.
6. Next page – Materials and Methods. In this section you state the methodology employed in this study. The main purpose of this section is to present and describe (if real experimental work) the design in details enough so other scientists can repeat/reproduce the experiments. In theoretical work like this you describe the methods and tools you have used to accomplish this paper.
7. Next page –Results. There are two important tips (ingredients) of this section: First, you should give an overall description of work, providing the “big picture” without repeating details given in the Introduction section. Second, you should present the data of your research. It should be presented in past tense. The results should be short and sweet, without verbiage, and simply straight to the point.
8. Next page –Discussion. Usually this is the hardest section to write. Try to present the principles, relationships, and generalizations shown in Result section. And bear in mind, you discuss (in your words), you DO NOT recapitulate. Point out any exceptions, correlations, or unsettled point. Show how your work correlates and a ...

Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references
•Depth/breadth/quality of material covered
2. Following directions/ requirements
I will use the following rubric to grade your bibliography:
Research, Critical Reading and Documentation
Balanced, authoritative sources; correctly cited sources; effectively integrated outside sources. Most sources from science journals
10 pts
Effective sources, correctly cited, Could have a few more.

Extinction ppt student template
The document discusses natural extinction versus accelerated or human-caused extinction. It notes that 99.999% of all species that have ever lived are now extinct, with natural extinction occurring through environmental disturbances, while accelerated extinction is caused by human activities like hunting, agriculture, habitat destruction, pollution, and international trade. It states that the current rate of extinction is 50,000+ species every 5-10 years, and if nothing is done 1/3 of all living things may be lost within 30 years. The document lists characteristics of extinction-prone species and questions if the reader with those traits is doomed.
Key concepts chapters 13 and 14
1. The document provides an overview of key concepts from Chapters 13 and 14, including direct and indirect causes of deforestation, methods of harvesting trees, causes of extinction, logistic growth curves and their assumptions, maximum sustainable yield (MSY) versus optimum sustainable population (OSP), the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and its goals, characteristics of extinction-prone species, and three case studies on fisheries, fire management, and paper production.
Ch 13 and 14 student template ppt 2010
This document discusses forests, deforestation, wildlife management, fisheries, and endangered species. It notes that forests are economically and ecologically important but deforestation is a major environmental concern. Deforestation is driven by wood usage, which is predicted to double by 2050, and paper production, which uses 30% of the world's paper despite only 5% of the population. Unsustainable logging and fishing practices have depleted fish and whale populations. International agreements have established protections and regulations for fisheries, whaling, and endangered species to curb overexploitation and prevent extinctions.
Ch 12 ppt 2010
This document discusses sustainable agriculture and its environmental impacts. It covers topics like soil structure and erosion, sustainable farming practices like crop rotation and cover crops, integrated pest management, causes of desertification, and issues with factory farming. The key goals of sustainable farming are to conserve soil and water resources and minimize pollution. Practices that reduce soil erosion include contour plowing, terracing, shelterbelts, and low- or no-till plowing. Cover crops and crop rotation help maintain soil nutrients and prevent excess nitrogen runoff. Integrated pest management uses a combination of biological, cultural and targeted chemical controls. Desertification is worsened by poor farming, overgrazing, deforestation and climate change.
Ch 9 ppt eating lower of the food chain
The document discusses the environmental impacts of eating meat and dairy products, particularly beef and dairy cows. It notes that animal agriculture uses significant amounts of agricultural land, water, and fossil fuels to produce meat and dairy. Specifically, it states that cows alone use 50% of agricultural land but only provide 18% of calories. It also discusses the water, pollution, deforestation, and greenhouse gas impacts of industrial animal agriculture. The document advocates for eating lower on the food chain to reduce these environmental impacts.
Ch 10 ppt
Ecological restoration involves facilitating natural succession to help an ecosystem recover from human disturbance. There are two types of succession - primary succession establishes ecosystems in areas with no prior ecosystem, like retreating glaciers, while secondary succession reestablishes ecosystems following disturbances like fires. Restoration is difficult for lands that have lost organic matter or been subjected to overuse, and there does not appear to be a permanent climax state, as gradual loss of nutrients occurs even in mature ecosystems.
Ch 9 ppt
This document discusses biological productivity and energy flow in ecosystems. It begins by defining biomass as the total amount of organic matter in an ecosystem, which increases through plant and animal growth. It then explains that ecosystems are open to energy flow, with energy entering as food and leaving as heat or being stored. The laws of thermodynamics state that energy is conserved but always moves to less organized states, increasing entropy. Energy flows in one direction and organisms are generally inefficient at utilizing energy for growth.
Island biogeography activity procedure
This document provides student instructions for an activity exploring the theory of island biogeography. Students will simulate habitat fragmentation by analyzing how bean "migrants" spread from a main ecosystem to four island habitats of varying sizes and distances. They will conduct five trials, recording the number of beans reaching each island and calculating averages and percentages. The goal is to observe how island characteristics like size and distance affect biodiversity, as measured by the number of migrant beans reaching different islands.
Ch 8 Island biogeography lab
1) This document contains an activity guiding students through a simulation of island biogeography. It asks students to hypothesize which type of island (large and close, large but far, small but close, small and far) will receive the most immigrants.
2) Students are instructed to record immigration data to each island type over 5 years and calculate averages to determine which island received the highest percentage of total immigrants.
3) The document asks students to analyze whether their original hypothesis was correct based on the results and explain the outcomes of the simulation.
Ch 6 - 8 key concepts
This document provides an outline of key concepts and material to include in a study guide for chapters 6-8 of an environmental science textbook. The summary should include:
1. Ecological topics such as food webs, trophic levels, keystone species, and the basic processes in ecosystems.
2. Factors that increase and decrease biodiversity, reasons to preserve biodiversity, and the different types of biological diversity.
3. Evolutionary concepts including natural selection, mutation, adaptation, and speciation.
4. Ecological interactions like niches, competition, and symbiosis and being able to analyze examples.
5. Comparing reproduction strategies like r-selected and K-selected
Ch 7 laws ppt
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted in 1973 as the most far-reaching law for endangered species preservation passed by any nation. It protects over 1000 animals and provides penalties for harming endangered species or their habitats. The ESA works by listing species, designating critical habitats, developing recovery plans, and reviewing federal agency actions. The Lacey Act, originally passed in 1900, was one of the earliest US laws aimed at wildlife protection and was expanded in 1981 and 1988 to prohibit illegal wildlife trade internationally and domestically. CITES is an international agreement between governments to ensure wildlife trade does not threaten species' survival. It lists species in three appendices based on protection level.
Ch 7 8 ppt 2010 student notes
This document discusses several key concepts related to biological diversity and biogeography:
1. It defines biological evolution as changes in inherited traits over generations and outlines some processes that lead to evolution like mutations, natural selection, genetic drift, and geographic isolation of populations.
2. It discusses factors that influence biodiversity like habitat diversity, species diversity, and environmental conditions. Greater biodiversity is seen in areas with more physically diverse habitats, moderate disturbance, and small environmental variation.
3. It outlines biogeography patterns seen on different continents and islands, explaining how continental drift, isolation, and adaptation to new environments has led to divergent evolution and speciation over time.

Ch 5 ppt
This document discusses biogeochemical cycles, specifically the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles. It notes that the carbon cycle involves both gaseous (CO2, CH4) and non-gaseous forms. The nitrogen cycle moves between the atmosphere as N2 gas, into the soil through nitrogen fixation by bacteria, into plants, then back through decay. Phosphorus differs in that it has no gaseous stage and is stored in rocks and soil organic matter, becoming available to plants through microbial conversion to phosphates.
Ch 4 Key Concepts

Extinction ppt student template
The document discusses natural extinction versus accelerated or human-caused extinction. It notes that 99.999% of all species that have ever lived are now extinct, with natural extinction occurring through environmental disturbances, while accelerated extinction is caused by human activities like hunting, agriculture, habitat destruction, pollution, and international trade. It states that the current rate of extinction is 50,000+ species every 5-10 years, and if nothing is done 1/3 of all living things may be lost within 30 years. The document lists characteristics of extinction-prone species and questions if the reader with those traits is doomed.
Key concepts chapters 13 and 14
1. The document provides an overview of key concepts from Chapters 13 and 14, including direct and indirect causes of deforestation, methods of harvesting trees, causes of extinction, logistic growth curves and their assumptions, maximum sustainable yield (MSY) versus optimum sustainable population (OSP), the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and its goals, characteristics of extinction-prone species, and three case studies on fisheries, fire management, and paper production.
Ch 13 and 14 student template ppt 2010
This document discusses forests, deforestation, wildlife management, fisheries, and endangered species. It notes that forests are economically and ecologically important but deforestation is a major environmental concern. Deforestation is driven by wood usage, which is predicted to double by 2050, and paper production, which uses 30% of the world's paper despite only 5% of the population. Unsustainable logging and fishing practices have depleted fish and whale populations. International agreements have established protections and regulations for fisheries, whaling, and endangered species to curb overexploitation and prevent extinctions.
Ch 12 ppt 2010
This document discusses sustainable agriculture and its environmental impacts. It covers topics like soil structure and erosion, sustainable farming practices like crop rotation and cover crops, integrated pest management, causes of desertification, and issues with factory farming. The key goals of sustainable farming are to conserve soil and water resources and minimize pollution. Practices that reduce soil erosion include contour plowing, terracing, shelterbelts, and low- or no-till plowing. Cover crops and crop rotation help maintain soil nutrients and prevent excess nitrogen runoff. Integrated pest management uses a combination of biological, cultural and targeted chemical controls. Desertification is worsened by poor farming, overgrazing, deforestation and climate change.
Ch 9 ppt eating lower of the food chain
The document discusses the environmental impacts of eating meat and dairy products, particularly beef and dairy cows. It notes that animal agriculture uses significant amounts of agricultural land, water, and fossil fuels to produce meat and dairy. Specifically, it states that cows alone use 50% of agricultural land but only provide 18% of calories. It also discusses the water, pollution, deforestation, and greenhouse gas impacts of industrial animal agriculture. The document advocates for eating lower on the food chain to reduce these environmental impacts.
Ch 10 ppt
Ecological restoration involves facilitating natural succession to help an ecosystem recover from human disturbance. There are two types of succession - primary succession establishes ecosystems in areas with no prior ecosystem, like retreating glaciers, while secondary succession reestablishes ecosystems following disturbances like fires. Restoration is difficult for lands that have lost organic matter or been subjected to overuse, and there does not appear to be a permanent climax state, as gradual loss of nutrients occurs even in mature ecosystems.
Ch 9 ppt
This document discusses biological productivity and energy flow in ecosystems. It begins by defining biomass as the total amount of organic matter in an ecosystem, which increases through plant and animal growth. It then explains that ecosystems are open to energy flow, with energy entering as food and leaving as heat or being stored. The laws of thermodynamics state that energy is conserved but always moves to less organized states, increasing entropy. Energy flows in one direction and organisms are generally inefficient at utilizing energy for growth.
Island biogeography activity procedure
This document provides student instructions for an activity exploring the theory of island biogeography. Students will simulate habitat fragmentation by analyzing how bean "migrants" spread from a main ecosystem to four island habitats of varying sizes and distances. They will conduct five trials, recording the number of beans reaching each island and calculating averages and percentages. The goal is to observe how island characteristics like size and distance affect biodiversity, as measured by the number of migrant beans reaching different islands.
Ch 8 Island biogeography lab
1) This document contains an activity guiding students through a simulation of island biogeography. It asks students to hypothesize which type of island (large and close, large but far, small but close, small and far) will receive the most immigrants.
2) Students are instructed to record immigration data to each island type over 5 years and calculate averages to determine which island received the highest percentage of total immigrants.
3) The document asks students to analyze whether their original hypothesis was correct based on the results and explain the outcomes of the simulation.
Ch 6 - 8 key concepts
This document provides an outline of key concepts and material to include in a study guide for chapters 6-8 of an environmental science textbook. The summary should include:
1. Ecological topics such as food webs, trophic levels, keystone species, and the basic processes in ecosystems.

3. Evolutionary concepts including natural selection, mutation, adaptation, and speciation.
4. Ecological interactions like niches, competition, and symbiosis and being able to analyze examples.
5. Comparing reproduction strategies like r-selected and K-selected
Ch 7 laws ppt
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was enacted in 1973 as the most far-reaching law for endangered species preservation passed by any nation. It protects over 1000 animals and provides penalties for harming endangered species or their habitats. The ESA works by listing species, designating critical habitats, developing recovery plans, and reviewing federal agency actions. The Lacey Act, originally passed in 1900, was one of the earliest US laws aimed at wildlife protection and was expanded in 1981 and 1988 to prohibit illegal wildlife trade internationally and domestically. CITES is an international agreement between governments to ensure wildlife trade does not threaten species' survival. It lists species in three appendices based on protection level.
Ch 7 8 ppt 2010 student notes
This document discusses several key concepts related to biological diversity and biogeography:
1. It defines biological evolution as changes in inherited traits over generations and outlines some processes that lead to evolution like mutations, natural selection, genetic drift, and geographic isolation of populations.
2. It discusses factors that influence biodiversity like habitat diversity, species diversity, and environmental conditions. Greater biodiversity is seen in areas with more physically diverse habitats, moderate disturbance, and small environmental variation.
3. It outlines biogeography patterns seen on different continents and islands, explaining how continental drift, isolation, and adaptation to new environments has led to divergent evolution and speciation over time.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
