Topic 1: A Local Ecosystem * Compare the abiotic characteristics of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems Organisms that live in aquatic and terrestrial have a very different apperence (morphology) and way of functioning (physiology). Terrestrial animals have support for living out of water and for transport on land. Abiotic characteristic Aquatic environment Terrestrial environment Temperature is related to latitude and altitude Less variation. Cooler with depth. Smaller bodies of water warm faster than larger ones Great variation during the day, throughout the year and with altitude and location Pressure Pressure increases greatly with depth Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude Water Rapidly available Varies and can be a major issue for organisms Dissolved ions (Na+, Cl-) Readily available, may lead to osmotic pressure May be plentiful or sparse depending on the soil Gasses that are important for photosynthesis and respiration Less available in water Plentiful. Decreases with altitude Wind, tides and currents Changes in tides and currents can decrease survival Wind can reduce the amount of water available by increasing evaporation Buoyancy is the uplift from the medium High in water Low in air Light is important for photosynthesis Availability changes with depth Usually readily available Viscosity High in water Low in air * Identify
15 Historical Economic Questions on Mercatilism and the Development of European Countries.
Austin Lazar Prof.Kypraios Economics in Historical perspective 2/7/2012 5 Historical Economics Questions, Answered What explains the rise of the Dutch Republic? In nineteen fifty-six the seven provinces of the Dutch Republic started a rebellion with the vision of freedom against Philip II of Spain. This rebellion in turn resulted in the start of the Eighty Years War. The war took tremendous financial effort to win but the Dutch Republic was in better financial shape than ever before and was poised to take over Europe. In 1585 the Anglo-Spanish war breaks out between England and Spain. The end result forced Spanish troops to halt their advances and left them in control of important trading centers like Bruges, Ghent, but without control of Antwerp. Antwerp, one of the largest trading centers of the time was soon to be seized. The seizure of Antwerp brought labor from the trading port of Antwerp to the Dutch Republic, but mainly Amsterdam. This of influx of skilled labor would be beneficial to the Dutch East India Companies, established two years prior to the seizure of Antwerp. The Dutch East India Company was a chartered company established in 1602, and was considered to be the first multinational corporations of all time. Received a monopoly on Asian trade and was permitted to keep it for two centuries. The Dutch East India Company was specializing in the spice trade
Anthropology: Study Notes (Trobrianders)
Anthropology Study Notes Processes of Change and Transformation Cultural Change Mechanisms of change * Four types of change: innovation, diffusion, cultural loss, adaptation * Innovation: process whereby a culture adapts to new things, ideas, or behaviour patterns (divided into primary and secondary innovation) o Primary innovation: chance discovery or invention of a new principle. Example - discovery that the firing of clay makes it permanently hard; this was likely an accident (Haviland) o Secondary innovation: something new that results from the deliberate application of known principles. Example - the use of the QWERTY keyboard, which places the most frequently-used keys on the home row (Haviland). * Diffusion: different aspects of one culture spread to another culture. Example - Early colonists came to Canada and adopted the native practice of wearing warm moccasins and leather clothing (Haviland). Trobriand chief Vanoi used European medicines to help his chest pains (Weiner). * Cultural loss: a culture discards a cultural practice or element with or without replacement. Example - the cessation of the use of chariots and carts for transportation in the Middle East (Haviland). Few Trobriand men continue to wear the traditional pandanus penis covering (Weiner). * Adaptation: a culture adjusts to a changing environment. Example - FIND SOMETHING FROM THE

Activated sludge wastewater treatment system and method
Activated sludge wastewater treatment system and method Abstract A improved activated sludge system and method for treating wastewater containing contaminants is disclosed which offers a broad array of advantages over conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment systems, including smaller size, higher rates of operation, higher oxygen transfer efficiency, lower operating costs, and a substantially decreased level of excess sludge production. The improved activated sludge waste treatment system of the present invention has two processing tanks rather than the several tanks that are commonly found in activated sludge systems for treatment and sludge management equalizations, including anaerobic processes. The first processing tank is a contact tank which hosts a reaction which functions not merely to digest the maximum amount of contaminants, but instead to bind contaminants to the microorganisms through absorption, adsorption, precipitation, or digestion so that they can then be removed from the liquid in a solid/liquid separator. The activated sludge removed by the solid/liquid separator is then supplied to a digester tank containing a high concentration of activated sludge, where virtually complete digestion is achieved to minimize the volume of solids remaining. Activated sludge is provided from the digester tank to the contact tank to facilitate the reaction in the

"Attracting Talent vs Looking After Singaporeans" INTRODUCTION: A VISION FOR SINGAPORE . In the 21st century, Singapore will be even better than it is today: an exciting city in which to work, live and play; a global hub pulsating with energy and ideas. The Singapore economy will be vibrant, our culture brimming with diversity, and our society strong and united. 2. To achieve our vision, we must make Singapore a centre of opportunity. Singapore will be a hub in Asia where people can advance their economic lifestyles, pursue their interests and find happiness in their lives. We will be a society where everyone matters, where everyone is valued, and recognised for his or her myriad contributions. 3. Singapore's continued prosperity and success depends on our ability to maximise the talents of all Singaporeans, as well as to develop a deep-seated sense of belonging - or rootedness - to Singapore. Singaporeans must be allowed to become the best they can be. We should develop a more encompassing definition of success. People must be encouraged to try the road less taken, to explore what lies off the beaten track. We must recognise success even in the single penny picked up at the end of the rainbow, and respect, applaud and celebrate the diverse accomplishments of fellow citizens. Locals have to feel that Singapore is our best home, best hope. Singaporeans must believe in

Commentary on "Wuthering Heights"
Vikram Vijay Journal 3 English literature Mr. Charles Volume 2 chapter 3 Setting : Summer had past and it was winter settling, Nelly was in the parlor with little Catherine on her lap when suddenly someone barged in laughing which made Nelly angry. Later Nelly finds out it was Mrs. Heathcliff who ran away from him. The paragraph “The intruder was Mrs. Heathcliff. She certainly seemed in no laughing predicament: her hair streamed on her shoulders, dripping with snow and water; she was dressed in the girlish dress she commonly wore, befitting her age more than her position: a low frock with short sleeves, and nothing on either head or neck. The frock was of light silk, and clung to her with wet, and her feet were protected merely by thin slippers; add to this a deep cut under one ear, which only the cold prevented from bleeding profusely, a white face scratched and bruised, and a frame hardly able to support itself through fatigue; and you may fancy my first fright was not much allayed when I had had leisure to examine her.” gives us a description of how she was when she arrived at the Grange. We see that she was in a really bad state but still laughing just because she is free from Heathcliff now. We see that she was bruised which makes us see that she must have been beaten at the Heights several times. We see she had a cut under her ear which makes us think what
