The document provides an overview of the development process for a digital storytelling tool called Aesop's Garden. It describes conducting problem interviews to identify user needs, building an initial demo, pivoting to focus on coloring book stories as a minimum viable product (MVP), and next steps of building out the MVP website and testing pricing models. Key lessons learned included focusing on the unique value proposition, embracing constraints to find the true MVP, and getting commitments from illustrators to meet deadlines. The goal is to create personalized stories that help strengthen family relationships even when family members live apart.
Idenitifying the fit for perennial forage options in a crop-livestock system:...Joanna Hicks
The document describes using a whole-farm optimization model called MIDAS to evaluate the profitability and environmental impacts of incorporating forage shrubs into a typical 3000 hectare crop-livestock farm in Australia's low rainfall Mallee region. The model simulates over 200 crop-pasture rotations across 7 different land management units and considers interactions between enterprises. Model results show that incorporating up to 10% forage shrubs has little impact on whole-farm profit, but above 10% profit sharply declines. Higher shrub biomass production and nutrient levels increase potential profitability. Changes to commodity prices also impact the optimal shrub allocation.

US agricultural GHG emissions: challenges and opportunities for mitigating pl...Joanna Hicks
US agricultural GHG emissions can be reduced through improved fertilizer management and conservation practices, though achieving absolute reductions while increasing yields is challenging. Process-based models are better at large scales but have high uncertainty at the whole-farm level. Stabilizing nitrogen sources may reduce emissions while maintaining production, but observations are needed to verify impacts at larger scales given uncertainties. Continued efficiency gains may not decrease absolute emissions due to potential rebound effects like Jevon's Paradox. Carefully defined goals and incentives are needed to balance production and emission reductions.

5. One of the first people to make a good measurement of the distance to a planet
was the great astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini. In 1672, Cassini used a
technique called parallax to measure the distance to Mars.
You can understand parallax by holding your thumb up at arm's length and
looking at it first with one eye, and then your other. Notice how your thumb
seems to shift back and forth against the objects that are farther away. Because
your two eyes are separated by a few inches, each views your thumb from a
different position. The amount that your thumb appears to move is its parallax.
When astronomers measure the parallax of an object and know the separation
between the two positions from which it is observed, they can calculate the
distance to the object. Using observations on Earth separated by thousands of
miles -- like looking through two eyes that are very far apart -- parallax
measurements can reveal the great distances to planets.
Although he didn't get quite the right answers, Cassini's results were very close
to the correct values. The Sun is about 93 million miles from Earth. As Earth
and Mars move in their separate orbits, they never come closer than 35 million
miles to each other. Saturn, the most distant planet known when Cassini was
alive, is around 900 million miles away. Imagine how exciting it must have been
for him to discover that the solar system is so fantastically big!

26. SATELLITES
The motion of objects is governed by Newton's laws
Consider a satellite with mass Msat orbiting a central
body with a mass of mass MCentral. The central body
could be a planet, the sun or some other large mass
capable of causing sufficient acceleration on a less
massive nearby object
Fnet = ( Msat • v2 ) / R
This net centripetal force is the result of the gravitational
force that attracts the satellite towards the central body
and can be represented as
Fgrav = ( G • Msat • MCentral ) / R2
27. Since Fgrav = Fnet, the above expressions for centripetal
force and gravitational force can be set equal to each
other. Thus,
(Msat • v2) / R = (G • Msat • MCentral ) / R2
Thus, the acceleration of a satellite in circular motion
about some central body is given by the following
equation
29. Q1. A satellite wishes to orbit the earth at a height of 100 km
(approximately 60 miles) above the surface of the earth.
Determine the speed, acceleration and orbital period of the
satellite. (Given: Mearth = 5.98 x 1024 kg, Rearth = 6.37 x 106 m)
v = SQRT [ (G•MCentral ) / R ]
The substitution and solution are as follows:
v = SQRT [ (6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2) • (5.98 x 1024 kg) / (6.47 x
106 m) ]
v = 7.85 x 103 m/s
The acceleration can be found from either one of the following
equations:
Equation (1) was derived above. Equation (2) is a general equation
for circular motion. Either equation can be used to calculate the
acceleration. The use of equation (1) will be demonstrated here.
a = (G •Mcentral)/R2
a = (6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2) • (5.98 x 1024 kg) / (6.47 x 106 m)2
a = 9.53 m/s2
30. Q2. The period of the moon is approximately 27.2 days (2.35 x 106 s).
Determine the radius of the moon's orbit and the orbital speed of the moon.
(Given: Mearth = 5.98 x 1024 kg, Rearth = 6.37 x 106 m)
The radius of orbit can be calculated using the following equation:
The equation can be rearranged to the following form
R3 = [ (T2 • G • Mcentral) / (4 • pi2) ]
The substitution and solution are as follows:
R3 = [ ((2.35x106 s)2 • (6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2) • (5.98x1024 kg) )
/ (4 • (3.1415)2) ]
R3 = 5.58 x 1025 (1) 3 = SQRT [ (G •
mv
(2) v = (2 • pi • R)/T
MCentral ) / R ]
By taking the cube root of 5.58 x 1025 m3, the radius can be
determined as follows:
R = 3.82 x 108 m
The orbital speed of the satellite can be computed from either of the
following equations:
v = SQRT [ (6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2)*(5.98x1024 kg) / (3.82 x 108 m)
]
v = 1.02 x 103 m/s

earth in 24 hours (86400 s), then high above the the earth's surface must it be located
(Given: Mearth earth = 5.98x1024 Rearth earth = 6.37 x 106 m)
(Given: M = 5.98x1024 kg, kg, R = 6.37 x 106 m)
The radius of orbit can be found using the following equation:
The equation can be rearranged to the following form
R3 = [ (T2 * G * Mcentral) / (4*pi2) ]
The substitution and solution are as follows:
R3 = [ ((86400 s)2 • (6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2) • (5.98x1024 kg) ) / (4 •
(3.1415)2) ]
R3 = 7.54 x 1022 m3
By taking the cube root of 7.54 x 1022 m3, the radius can be determined to
be R = 4.23 x 107 m
The radius of orbit indicates the distance that the satellite is from the center
of the earth. Since the earth's surface is 6.37 x 106 m from its center (that's
the radius of the earth), the satellite must be a height of
4.23 x 107 m - 6.37 x 106 m = 3.59 x 107 m
above the surface of the earth. So the height of the satellite is 3.59 x107 m.

Mir's orbital speed.
Shuttle speed change needed to raise orbit 7 kilometers. (It
is stated in the video that a change in velocity of 0.4 meters
per second raises the Shuttle 1 kilometer.)
34. Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical, but in many cases it is sufficiently accurate to
approximate the orbit with a circle of radius equal to the mean Earth-Sun distance of
1.49598 x 10^8 km. This distance is called the "Astronomical Unit" (AU). Listed in the
chart that follows are actual Earth-Sun distances, given to five significant digits, on the
first day of each month of a representative year. (The "American Ephemeris" lists daily
distances and the actual times for these distances to seven significant digits.)
a. To how many significant digits is it reasonable to approximate the Earth-Sun distance
as though the orbit were circular?
Solution: To two significant digits, each of the distances in the table can be given as 1.5
x 10^8 km.
b. What are the largest possible absolute and relative errors in using the Astronomical
Unit as the Earth-Sun distance in a computation instead of one of the distances from the
table?
35. Solution: (1.49598 - 1.4710) x 10^8 = 0.0240 x 10^8 km (smallest table
value)
(1.49598 - 1.5208) x 10^8 = -0.0248 x 10^8 km (largest table value)
absolute error less than/equal to 0.0248 x 10^8 km
relative error less than/equal to 0.0248/1.49598 = 0.0166, or 1.7 percent.
Since 100 cm = 1 m, in order to change 623 cm to m, we perform the
multiplication
(623 cm/1) X (1m/100 cm),
"canceling" the cm in numerator and denominator to get
623/100 m, or 6.23 m.
More complex conversions can be done using multiplication by several
factor units and those readers wishing to convert between British and
metric units can also use this method. For example, the speed of light,
3.00 x 10^5 km/sec, can be found in miles per hour:
(3.00 x 10^5/1) X (km/sec) X (1 mile/1.61 km) X (60 sec/1min) X (60
min/1 hour)
= 6.71 x 10^8 miles per hour.
36. SPACE SUIT
A space suit should allow its user natural unencumbered
movement. Nearly all designs try to maintain a constant volume
no matter what movements the wearer makes. This is
because mechanical work is needed to change the volume of a
constant pressure system. If flexing a joint reduces the volume
of the spacesuit, then the astronaut must do extra work every
time he bends that joint, and he has to maintain a force to keep
the joint bent. Even if this force is very small, it can be seriously
fatiguing to constantly fight against one's suit. It also makes
delicate movements very difficult. The work required to bend a
joint is dictated by the formula -
