What are some invasive species on the Hawaii islands. When and how/why were they introduced? What impact have they had? 100 words or more please. Solution Hawaii has been invaded by a number of invasive species – both plants and animals. Some of the invasive species and their effects are, Rosy wolf snail (Euglandina rosea) – introduced to control the African snails, which are an agricultural pest, the Rosy wolf snail has destroyed the native snails of Hawaii. It has eliminated up to half of the 800 endemic species of snails in Hawaii Miconia (Miconia calvescens) – introduced as an ornamental plant, it forms dense thickets that blocks sunlight and kills other plants Fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) – it is a highly aggressive species that is more vigorous than the native plants. It quickly reestablishes after fire and alters the natural fire regime Fire tree (Myrica faya) – it forms dense monocultural stands. As a result it poses threat to native plants especially on young volcanic sites and lowland forests. It was introduced as an ornamental and as firewood plant. Guava (Psidium gujava) – introduced for edible fruit cultivation. It forms dense thickets and poses threats to the native flora and fauna of Hawaii. Mongoose – it was introduced to kill large rat population present in the sugarcane fields of Hawaii. If failed to kill the rats but harms the ground nesting birds on the island..

In this first module we have explored the historical ideas of the nature of the Universe. In the days of Ptolemy and Copernicus, the Universe was all things, so the question of the whether the Sun went round the Earth or the Earth went round the Sun was a question about the nature of the Universe. Of course today, being citizens of the 21st Century, the question is moot, the Earth goes round the Sun, and there is lots of stuff beyond the Solar System that makes up the Universe. But, where does this idea come from, and what is the evidence supporting it? For this first forum we will investigate this question in two parts. For the first post, due Friday, 1/22 by 11pm, try to organize a response to the questions: Does the Earth revolve around the Sun? How do you know? What is the evidence supporting your answer? Solution For some time after it was accepted that planets (including Earth) circle the Sun, there was no direct proof that it is Earth that moves, and not the Sun. Ancient astronomer Aristarchus thought that Earth goes around the Sun since he discovered that the Sun is much bigger than Earth. Copernicus (who is usually credited with the idea that planets go around the Sun) thought that Solar system centered on the Sun is more logical and beautiful, but had no definite proof. Kepler discovered that laws governing of orbits become much more simple if the Sun is in their center. Newton has shown that this is caused by the universal law of gravity. If gravity works, Earth and other planets have to go around the Sun, because it is much heavier. There was no straightforward proof for the motion of Earth until 1725 when James Bradley discovered stellar aberration. This is (apparent) yearly change in positions of all stars in the sky due to Earth\'s own motion. Aberration arises due to adding up of the speed of light coming from the star and Earth\'s own speed. This is a very complex phenomenon and its description requires some math. Another, much simpler, consequence of Earth\'s motion is stellar parallax. If Earth changes its position relative to the stars, then the stars should appear to change position in the course of the year. A common experiment illustrating parallax is just looking at a close object (a finger, a pencil etc) with one eye at the time. When you switch from one to the other eye, the object will appear to move against the background. Closer the object is to your eyes, more pronounced the effect is. Parallax should not be confused with aberration: parallax arises from the change of Earth\'s position and depends on the distance to the star, while aberration is caused by Earth\'s great speed and does not depend on how far the star is. Parallax of a star was first measured by Bessel in 1838. It was not measured before because this change of star\'s apparent position is very small (the stars are very far from us). This was a very important discovery because Aristotle himself mentioned the lack of observable stellar parallax as the.

If someone says to you, \"I believe there might be planets around K-type stars\", how would you respond? Defend your answer with the formation of the solar system. Solution A K-type star is the main sequence star on an HR-digram because the they are hydrogen-burning stars. K-type stars usually weigh around 0.45 to 0.8 solar masses, and they have a surface temperature of 3,900 and 5,200 K, they live on the main sequence for a very long time approximately 15 to 30 billion years. Researchers believe that the solar system was formed from a cloud of gas and dust in space was perturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star. This explosion made waves in space which compressed the cloud of gas and dust. Compressing made the cloud start to collapse under its on gravity, a, forming a solar nebula. Just like an Ice-skater that spins faster as she pulls in her arms, the cloud begins to spin as it collapses. Eventually, the cloud grows hotter and denser in the center, with a disk of gas and dust surrounding it that was hot in the middle but cool at the edges. As the disk got thinner and thinner, particles began to pile together and form clumps. Some clumps got bigger, as particles and small clumps stuck to them, eventually forming planets or moons. Near the center of the cloud, where planets likeEarth formed, the only rocky material could stand the great heat. Icy matter settled in the outer regions of the disk along with rocky material, where the giant planets likeJupiter formed. As the cloud continued to fall in, the center eventually got so hot that it became a star, the Sun, and blew most of the gas and dust of the new solar system with a strong stellar wind. By studying meteorites, which are thought to be left over from this early phase of the solar system, scientists have found that the solar system is about 4600 million years old. A K-type star will need similar conditions to form it self and the debris form the star formation can lead to the formation of planets..

Explain how a SYN flood attack works. Solution An attacker would send an initial request asking for acknowledgment from the receiving server. The receiving server would place this in a line with recognizing information, using a small amount of memory and resources to do so. The server would look forward to a fast return from its acknowledgment but the attacker would not do so or just not react. The server would wait for a predefined timeout stage to reject the connection request..

By using MIMO technique, the throughput can be increased greatly without increasing the signal power and channel bandwidth. Solution It is a True statement.Spatial multiplexing enables a MIMO transmitter/receiver pair to increase its throughput without increasing bandwidth usage or transmit power. Multiplexing increases throughput linearly with the number of transmit or receive antennas whichever is lower. The transmitter sends signals carrying different bit streams from each of its antennas. Each receiver antenna receives a linear combination of the transmitted signals.

What are the main responsibilities of the Transport Layer? What are the main services provided by the Transport Layer to the Application Layer? Solution Transport layer is the fourth layer in the OSI reference model. The main function of the transport layer is it acts as a bridge between two layers that is the third layer application layer which transport layer takes some packets from application layers and breaks it in to some sub parts and send those to the next one that is network layer. It maintaions the same sequence without any disturbance and mainly folows the order. The packets which are taken from the upper layer that is application layer in the form of segments. The application layer makes use of the transport layer because these are the host layers. Application layer defines TCP/IP application protocols and how host programs interface with Transport layer services to use the network..

From the measured value of CS potential in tap water, determine whether it corrodes or not, knowing that E0(Fe/Fe+2) = - 440 mV vs. Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE.). 3. CS in tap water develops different potential from that of CS in brine. Explain why? 4. Are the measured values of potential (E0) for Zn / Zn+2 and Cu / Cu+2 under standard conditions same as those given in the text book? If Not, explain why? 5. What happens to E if metal ion concentration decreases. Explain why? Solution SOlution 1) Carbon steel is made up of iron and carbon while stainless steel is made up of chormium and iron . So reduction potential of two alloys are different based on the metals used. 2) The reduction potential of CS is less than that of hydrogen, so it will be more reactive or more prone to oxidation and will corrode. 3) Due to difference in the enviroment the tendency to undergo oxidation or reduction changes. In water we are considering only hydrogen reduction while in brine salts are also included. 4) They are not exactly same , might me due to some erroe in measurements or due to difference in temperature conditions.Since, standard reduction potential depends upon the temperature, pressure and concentration 5) decreaing the concentration of metal ion will decrease the value of potential of cell(E) ..

The final electron acceptor(s) associated with photosystem II is/are: Solution The final electron acceptor associated with photosystem II is \"ADP\". The PS II pigment complex absorbs solar energy; high-energy electrons (e-) leave the reaction- center chlorophyll a molecule. PS II takes replacement electrons from H2O, which splits, releasing O2 and H+ ions.Oxygen is released as oxygen gas (O2). The H+ ions temporarily stay within the thylakoid space and contribute to a H+ ion gradient. As H+ flow down electrochemical gradient through ATP synthase complexes, chemiosmosis occurs.

State the principles of management as enumerated by Henry Fayol. Explain any eight of them? Solution 14 principles of Management are statements that are based on a fundamental truth. These principles of management serve as a guideline for decision-making and management actions. They are drawn up by means of observations and analyses of events that managers encounter in practice. Henri Fayol was able to synthesize 14 principles of management after years of study, namely: 1. Division of Work In practice, employees are specialized in different areas and they have different skills. Different levels of expertise can be distinguished within the knowledge areas (from generalist to specialist). Personal and professional developments support this. According to Henri Fayol specialization promotes efficiency of the workforce and increases productivity. In addition, the specialization of the workforce increases their accuracy and speed. This management principle of the 14 principles of management is applicable to both technical and managerial activities. 2. Authority and Responsibility In order to get things done in an organization, management has the authority to give orders to the employees. Of course with this authority comes responsibility. According to Henri Fayol, the accompanying power or authority gives the management the right to give orders to the subordinates. The responsibility can be traced back from performance and it is therefore necessary to make agreements about this. In other words, authority and responsibility go together and they are two sides of the same coin. 3. Discipline This third principle of the 14 principles of management is about obedience. It is often a part of the core values of a mission and vision in the form of good conduct and respectful interactions. This management principle is essential and is seen as the oil to make the engine of an organization run smoothly. 4. Unity of Command The management principle ‘Unity of command’ means that an individual employee should receive orders from one manager and that the employee is answerable to that manager. If tasks and related responsibilities are given to the employee by more than one manager, this may lead to confusion which may lead to possible conflicts for employees. By using this principle, the responsibility for mistakes can be established more easily. 5. Unity of Direction This management principle of the 14 principles of management is all about focus and unity. All employees deliver the same activities that can be linked to the same objectives. All activities must be carried out by one group that forms a team. These activities must be described in a plan of action. The manager is ultimately responsible for this plan and he monitors the progress of the defined and planned activities. Focus areas are the efforts made by the employees and coordination. 6. Subordination of Individual Interest There are always all kinds of interests in an organization. In order to have an .
