Rootwell Annimation
This document discusses the importance of proper soil conditions and aeration for tree root systems. It notes that tree roots need oxygen to survive and flourish, but that many landscape planting conditions deprive roots of oxygen due to soil compaction, overwatering of lawns, and lack of organic matter. The document recommends using Rootwell systems, which are pipe wells that provide targeted aeration and watering to tree root zones. Studies by Davey Tree and Michigan State University found that Rootwell systems improved tree health and growth in compacted soils compared to trees without the system. The document provides details on Rootwell specifications and installation guidelines.
Environment iv
Sustainable architecture aims to reduce environmental impact and improve health and efficiency. Elements include green roofs, solar shingles, and shipping container buildings which reuse materials. Principles are using local, natural and recycled materials and generating renewable energy through solar, wind and geothermal. Sustainable buildings consider efficient materials and systems to reduce costs and environmental impact.
Rooftop and vertical gardens as an adaptation strategy
Rooftop and vertical gardens can serve as an adaptation strategy for urban areas. Rooftop gardens are gardens built on rooftops, while vertical gardens are gardens built on walls. They provide benefits such as reducing the urban heat island effect, improving air quality, and managing stormwater runoff. Construction involves layers for drainage, soil, and plants. Maintenance considers plant stress, weeds, and infrastructure issues. Vertical gardens also improve insulation and reduce building temperatures. While beneficial, they have disadvantages like potential wall damage from plant roots. Both can utilize ornamental, edible, and medicinal plants suited for Sri Lankan homes.
Top eco friendly construction materials
There are several eco-friendly materials commonly used in construction that help make homes more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. These include recycled steel, which can save up to 75% of the energy used to produce normal steel; wood-plastic composite lumber, which is more durable than treated wood; insulating concrete forms that can reduce energy consumption in buildings by 20%; and low-emissivity windows that help insulate homes and can lower heating and cooling costs by 20%. Using these materials can help homeowners save up to 45% on energy costs and be part of the green building trend.

Propone reconocer los derechos de parejas del mismo sexo y el derecho a la identidad de género de las personas trans, modificando artículos de la ley para lograr igualdad.

Airplane
The document describes experiments throwing paper airplanes with various modifications. Six throws were conducted with changes like adding a paperclip to the nose or adjusting the elevators. The longest flight was predicted to be over 12 feet. Observations matched the prediction as the planes landed gently. The evaluator determined the proper construction and force of throwing enabled the flights, and modifications like paperclips and elevators helped the planes fly similarly to real airplanes.
