Botanists transformed Ascension Island in the 19th century by planting trees and introducing crops. Sir Joseph Hooker and Charles Darwin proposed planting drought-resistant trees on the mountain slopes to develop deeper soils and establish forests. Their efforts succeeded, as the once barren island grew tropical forests on Green Mountain, demonstrating how human intervention can alter the environment.

The document discusses various negative human impacts on the environment such as deforestation, pollution from vehicles and factories, overfishing, and poaching. It also notes that human population growth and climate change are exacerbating issues like rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events. However, it provides some positive examples where laws and technologies are helping to address these problems, and suggests individual actions people can take to reduce their environmental impact. The document was created by three students to raise awareness of environmental issues and share what they did in their community to help.
Climate Impacts Ana
Climate change is negatively impacting many ecosystems. Wetlands and coastal marshes will dry up, causing plant and animal life to suffer or die off. Rising temperatures allow insects to destroy forests by eating leaves, preventing tree growth and fueling dangerous wildfires. Tropical forests face threats like hurricanes, drying out, and changes to plant and animal habitats. Boreal forests experience more fires and insect attacks. The Arctic is warming and melting large amounts of ice. Low-lying islands are losing land mass. Deserts become hotter and dryer, reducing available food sources. Coral reefs bleach and die off with even small 1 degree Celsius rises in ocean temperature.
Watermark_July_Colour
The document summarizes the current state of coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. It describes how coral bleaching occurs when algae are expelled from coral due to stressors like heat waves. This year, record high ocean temperatures caused the worst mass bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef. 50% of corals died in northern areas. The bleaching is part of the impacts of human-caused climate change and rising ocean temperatures. The document ends by highlighting some organizations working to help protect the reef through sustainable practices and fundraising.

Mm approach of dividend policy
The document summarizes the Modigliani-Miller theory of dividend policy. Some key points:
1) According to the theory, the value of a firm is based solely on its earnings and investment policy, not its dividend policy. Whether a firm retains earnings or pays dividends, the total return to shareholders is the same.
2) The theory is based on assumptions of perfect capital markets, no taxes, fixed investment policy, and no uncertainty.
3) Through mathematical proofs, the theory shows that dividends do not appear in the final equation determining a firm's value, indicating dividend policy is irrelevant to shareholders.
4) However, the theory is criticized for being based on unrealistic

Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes desert. It is affecting parts of Africa, especially the Sahel region. The main causes are human activities like overfarming, overgrazing, and deforestation combined with low rainfall. This degrades the soil so plants cannot grow, leaving the ground unprotected from further erosion by wind and water. As the land becomes desert, it negatively impacts people, wildlife and the economy through famine and forced migration. Efforts to stop desertification include planting trees, terracing land, and building irrigation systems.
Desertification
Desertification occurs when land becomes desert-like due to climate change or human activity. The Sahel region south of the Sahara desert is very vulnerable to desertification. In the 1950s-60s, above average rainfall allowed for increased agriculture, but droughts in the 1970s caused widespread crop and livestock losses. Desertification results from both physical factors like reduced vegetation and soil exposure to the elements, as well as human causes such as overgrazing, deforestation, and unsustainable farming practices. Successful tactics for reducing desertification include planting trees, terracing, and using magic stones to retain water and nutrients in the soil.

Chapter 7.2 deserts
Deserts are landscapes that receive extremely low amounts of precipitation, less than enough to support plant growth. They are defined as areas where more water is lost through evaporation than falls as precipitation. Ephemeral streams only carry water briefly after rainfall, sometimes for just hours or days, and can cause flash floods. The Basin and Range region features many small mountain ranges between 900-1500 meters found in western North America. Alluvial fans are cone-shaped deposits of debris formed at canyon mouths by flash flooding. Playa lakes are desert lakes that exist briefly after rainfall before evaporating, leaving dry lake beds called playas. Desertification is the expansion of deserts due to human and natural causes like drought-induced vegetation death.
My Chehalis Watershed Pledge
The document discusses watersheds and the Chehalis River watershed specifically. It notes that the Chehalis watershed is one of the largest in Washington state, covering over 2,600 square miles. It contains many lakes, streams, and the Chehalis River which flows over 100 miles before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. The watershed faces challenges from development and pollution that can impact water quality and quantity. The document encourages learning about and protecting this important watershed.

People use water resources in several key ways:
- Agriculture accounts for 69% of worldwide water usage, mostly for irrigation.
- Industry accounts for around 22% of usage, including for power generation.
- Households use around 8% of water, for purposes like cooking, washing, bathing, and sanitation.
- Recreational water use, such as for boating and swimming, is a small but growing percentage.
- People need to be mindful of conserving water resources through practices like turning off taps while brushing teeth, taking shorter showers, and fixing leaks.

Geography is the study of the Earth's physical features and human activity. It examines landscapes, environments, places and human-environment interactions. Studying geography helps understand everyday systems like weather, natural disasters and the environment. It also aids in navigating places and explaining one's own country. This document provides examples of natural landmarks and man-made structures for each Australian state and territory to demonstrate knowledge of the country if guiding others. It also examines how humans have altered two local parks - Ocean Grove Park and Blue Waters Lake - through infrastructure additions, assessing both benefits and environmental impacts of the changes.

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDS
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptx
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
