Slide deck for a presentation on an integrated math/science unit given at the North Carolina Science Teachers Professional Development Institute on November 12, 2010.
This document discusses different types of species interactions including competition, predation, parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism. It provides examples of each type of interaction such as the competitive exclusion of grey squirrels outcompeting red squirrels in Britain. Species may coevolve due to competitive interactions, developing strategies like resource partitioning to coexist. Predator-prey relationships can drive coevolution through evolutionary arms races. Commensal and mutualistic interactions provide benefits to one or both species involved.
This document discusses municipal solid waste (MSW) in the United States and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina from 1997-2009. It notes that most MSW in the US comes from mining, oil and gas, and agriculture, while municipal waste makes up a small percentage. It also outlines current practices for dealing with MSW, including landfilling, recycling, and incineration. Barriers to increasing recycling rates are discussed, such as low environmental costs and subsidies that favor virgin materials over recycled materials. Potential solutions proposed include taxing resource extraction and requiring government agencies to purchase more recyclables.
Derrick Willard and Matt Scully from Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina discuss how the iPad is changing science instruction at their school. They implemented iPads in various science courses from tropical ecology to AP Environmental Science. This allowed them to go paperless, use digital tools for collaboration and projects, access content on demand, and use formative assessment apps. They found the iPad helped promote productivity, note taking, projects presented on Apple TV, digital lab notebooks, and collaborative blogs. The iPad is helping bring 21st century skills like digital learning to the science classroom.
Slide deck for presentation on using social media to extend the science classroom given at the North Carolina Association of Independent Schools Conference on November 5, 2010.
The document discusses waste management statistics from the United States and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina from 1997-2008. It notes that municipal solid waste (MSW) makes up a small percentage of total waste generated annually in the US. Most MSW is disposed of in landfills, though recycling rates have increased since the 1980s. Barriers to higher recycling rates include a lack of incentives to use recycled materials and convenience of disposal options.

This document describes how a teacher used ClustrMaps to visualize the geographic locations of visitors to his class blog over 10 months. The blog gained over 1600 visitors from countries all around the world, including places in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and the Pacific. The map showed the expanding international audience for the class blog over time.
The document discusses the concepts of keystone and foundation species through several examples. It describes research showing that the sea star Pisaster ochraceus is a keystone species that controls populations of mussels, maintaining diversity in intertidal communities. Studies on kangaroo rats and prairie dogs also demonstrate how removing these species can transform ecosystems by reducing diversity. Kelp is provided as an example of a foundation species as a dominant primary producer.
This document summarizes Derrick Willard's experience integrating iPads and social media into science instruction at Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina. It describes how he has used digital tools like collaborative blogs, digital notebooks, note-taking apps, and formative assessment tools to move from a paper-based to a more paperless approach across various science courses from tropical ecology to AP Environmental Science to Science 8. The goal has been to promote creation, collaboration, and moving beyond just substituting digital tools for paper-based ones to truly transforming instruction using the SAMR model of technology integration.
This document discusses ecological succession, including primary and secondary succession. It provides examples of primary succession on new landscapes like volcanic islands or glacial retreat. Secondary succession is examined using a case study of an old field recovering from agriculture. The document also discusses how disturbances can impact succession, creating ecotones and edge effects. The intermediate disturbance hypothesis is presented, suggesting peak diversity at moderate disturbance levels. Island biogeography theories are summarized, relating them to habitat fragmentation. The solution of wildlife corridors is proposed to address fragmentation effects.
This document discusses different examples of keystone and foundation species. It provides Robert Paine's research on the sea star Pisaster ochraceus, which controls populations of mussels and maintains high biodiversity in intertidal zones. It also discusses James Brown's research on kangaroo rats in desert ecosystems and how their removal changed the plant community composition and increased grasslands. Foundation species like kelp are also discussed as dominant primary producers that many other species rely on for food and shelter.
HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system, and AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection defined by opportunistic infections. The document provides details on how HIV infects and damages cells, its history and global impact, treatments, and prevention strategies. It reports that over 30 million people have died of AIDS-related illnesses globally since the early 1980s, with sub-Saharan Africa particularly hard hit, though combination drug therapies have helped lower mortality in some areas.
The document discusses various mining techniques and their environmental impacts. It describes how minerals are identified and land is acquired for mining under the 1872 Mining Law. Surface mining techniques like open-pit, strip, contour, and mountaintop removal mining are outlined. Subsurface mining techniques like room-and-pillar and longwall mining are also summarized. The document discusses the impacts of mining such as scarring of land, erosion, subsidence, water and air pollution from acid mine drainage and slurry pond spills. It provides an example of reclamation at an abandoned coal mine in Pennsylvania.
1. Hazardous waste landfills are designed with multiple layers to prevent contamination, including compacted waste, clay and plastic linings, leachate collection systems, and groundwater monitoring wells.
2. Common hazardous wastes include cleaning products, paints, pesticides, batteries, motor oil and antifreeze which should not be thrown in the trash or poured down drains but disposed of properly.
3. Transitioning to a low-waste society requires reducing and reusing materials to minimize pollution, following principles like industrial ecology that mimic natural cycles.
Here are the key types of vegetation found in PPR Batu Muda based on the site inventory:

Geography unit 2 Part 1 - connecting people and placesMark Modra
This document discusses how people connect to different places and people. It explores how technology, trade, and globalization have increased interconnections between places. People are connected through the goods and services they consume, which often come from many different places around the world due to global trade networks. Technology also influences interconnections by allowing people to connect and share information more quickly through the internet, social media, and digital communications. The document provides examples of how trade connects Australia to other countries through exports and the global supply chains that produce everyday items. Students are assigned tasks to reflect on how they are connected to other places through technology, trade, and consumption.

The meeting was the first in a year-long process to develop strategies and a draft plan to guide the region's sustainable growth through 2040.
the planning function does more for the cities HEALTH than the NHSGreg Fell
The director of public health in Sheffield argues that planning functions have a greater impact on city health than the National Health Service. They discuss how planning can address upstream causes of poor health like inequality, transport infrastructure, housing standards, and community design. The director emphasizes that planning should aim to create environments where health and well-being are the default and easiest options through green spaces, mixed developments, and walkable neighborhoods. They argue planners must consider health impacts and work to reduce health inequities through their decisions.
The document discusses factors that influence people's perceptions of what makes a good living space, including natural and human processes that shape the environment. It prompts the reader to consider these factors and how urban and rural areas may differ in developing and developed countries. The reader is asked to complete several activities, including summarizing a table about likes and dislikes of where people live, discussing what makes a good living space with a partner, and summarizing differences between urban and rural areas in developing and developed nations.

12 November, 2048 Previous SIA Critiques
My comments in no particular order are as follows:
l. Need a more detailed description of the proposed action to include details on the
number and type of proposed residential units. It would have been nice to see the
proposed layout as envisioned by the developers-since they seemed to be quite
helptul.
2. Pick a stage for the analysis. Best would have been when the resort was completely
built out.
i. Scoping could have been a bit more systematic. Should have started with internal
scoping by looki ng at similar types of developments that were fully operational and
then gone to external scoping. More details on how you contacted the groups and
individuals listed on the table of stakeholders. Information as to numbers would have
been helpful and how it was determined that they were favorable or unfavorable. Be
sure to add page numbers and table and figure number and description the next time.
4. Comparative figures should have been restricted to the project area, the town of
Salem and Oconee County. State comparisons not appropriate here.
5. More detail on how the attitudes were determined. Letters followed by phone
interviews are a good substitute for follow-up after the initial site visit.
6. An attempt should have been made to determine the type and number of residential
units planned at build out. These numbers could have provided population size for
pefinanent residents and weekend or tempo,'ary visitors. Same for estimates of the-*"rug"income
of the new residents. That could have been the indicator for the
arnval of a new social class. Sirnilar resorts could have been used for a comparison.
7. What does the difterence in age mean? Seems that the incorne levels are the most
important indicator of the atrlal of a new social class'
g. The biggest weakness in this SIA analysis is the lack of a population projection at
build out. You have the beginnings of a good baseline study, but you did not access
what was going to happen at build out.
g. The recreation/leisure section could have been a strength of this assessment. I would
have reported the present levels of recreation opporfunities for the Town and the
Countawith NRPA statewide standards and then report how these opportunities
would have changed with the resort. Numbers would have helped here.
10. The section on community infrastructure should have included the levels of service
(LOS) for the town and the County (both present and needed) before the project and
then what would be needed at build out,
I l. Deficiencies in levels of service could then be compared with the level of service
required for the County with the new project'

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Industrial – warehouses, distribution center
7. Land Use Planning
Some things to think about:
Land use plans provide guidance – they are not law
Some of the implementation tools, however, are law
such as:
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances
Tree Ordinance, Stormwater and Erosion Control
Ordinances
Private sector, not the government, does most of the
development/building – happens incrementally, over a long
time
Market (you and me) also plays a big part of what, when
and where development occurs - land use plans and
regulations can influence market

16. Growth Framework
Centers, Corridors and Wedges
Long-term growth strategy
Five primary transportation
and development corridors
Focus growth in Activity
Centers and Growth
Corridors
Maximize use of
transportation
system, infrastructure &
services
Encourage redevelopment &
18. Environmental Sustainability
Use land efficiently – compact development, shared facilities, infill
& redevelopment
Balance & integrate land uses – range of
housing, employment, service, leisure & educational opportunities;
mix of uses
Connect uses & provide transportation choices –
sidewalks, bikeways, transit, connectivity
Provide infrastructure to support development –
schools, sewer, water, fire, police, transportation, libraries
Respect the natural and social environment –
trees, streams, wetlands, floodplains, habitats, green space, historic
properties, neighborhoods
Design for quality – details, site layout
Plan for the long term – quality, function, change, re-use

The Good, The Bad and The Right Location
1. What’s good about it?
2. What’s not so good?
3. Where would be the most appropriate location for it? Why?
• Examples of locations: Activity
Center, Wedge, Corridor, On a Major Highway, along a
greenway, near a school, . . .

33. Group Activity (15 mins)
You are an urban
planner, planning for the future
of 2 sites in Charlotte
Your job is to help accommodate
some of the growth that is
coming, but also to mitigate the
negative impacts that can come
along with this growth
Here are the 2 sites you will be
planning for:
35. Group Activity (15 mins)
Site #1 Site #2
512 mostly vacant acres near the 47 acres that was previously
Interchange of I-485 & Providence developed, but has now been cleared
Road
Within the South Growth Corridor
Partly in a Mixed-Use Activity Center along the Lynx light rail line, about ¾
Several creeks, some steep topography miles from the Sharon Road Station
and a lot of trees Branch of one creek, mostly flat and
Surrounding area is mostly developed few trees
with single family homes and a golf Surrounding area is mostly developed
course across the road with industrial and office type uses;
residential nearby
36. Group Activity (15 mins)
Break up into groups & get some icons & a map sheet
Work with your group to place the icons where you think
that type of development should go. Be sure to use as
many of the icons as possible. Remember, we have a lot
of growth to accommodate somewhere!
• Institutional - schools, daycares, places of
worship, post offices, libraries, jails
• Parks/Open Space
• Employment – Industries, Warehouses, Offices, Business Parks
• Retail – mall, drug store, grocery, shopping center
• Residential – single-family, apartments, townhomes, high/mid-rise
apartments
It’s ok to write or draw on the maps
Be ready to tell us why you placed the icons in a
particular location
As a planner, we go through a similar process as you just have of determining where various types of development will be located throughout the city. Roads and transit play a big role in decided where to located different land uses and the city actually has a framework called Centers, Corridors and Wedges that determines how and where to accommodate growth throughout the City of Charlotte.

Break students up into groups (count off) and have them work together on a base map to talk through and decide where they think various types of development should go. Have them circle or color in these areas with the colors that represent the different uses then go around the room and have them briefly discuss their rationale.
