The Effects of Trampling on the Paths This aim means that I am going to find out whether people are trampling on the plants or if they are sticking to the footpaths. I am also going to find out the effects for the trampling. We chose to do these paths because Method: Method for vegetation cover: For the vegetation cover survey we had to find out how much vegetation their was across the path. This was done by placing a metric chain across the path to see how much vegetation is on the ground. We worked it out using the metric chain (shown in figure 2) because each different color equals 0.5 of a meter so if there is a lot of vegetation in 0.5 of a meter it is likely to equal 100%, if there is a little vegetation it could approximately equal 5%. This is how we recorded our results: % vegetation cover: 100% 96% 100% 100% 100% 100% 72% 0% 0% 0% 0% 10% 100% 70% 20% 68% 70% 70% 75% Method for penetrability: For the penetrability test we used a knitting needle and a ruler. We stuck the knitting needle into the ground every half meter. When it gets pulled out we measure the needle from the bottom to where it has been level with the ground. This shows us how much it has been trampled on or if people are sticking to the path. If they are sticking to the path the ground will be soft as the people haven't been compressing the soil down. This is why it helps me to answerer my aim. We would then move on to the next 0.5 of a meter and do it again. This is how we recorded our results: Penetrability of the soil 24cm, 16cm, 22cm, 15cm, 27cm, 17cm, 10cm, 0.1cm, 0.1cm, 0.1cm, 0.1cm, 0.1cm, 8cm, 16cm, 10cm, 18cm, 11cm, 13cm, 8cm, 11cm Method for height of vegetation: For the height of vegetation we measured the highest vegetation in each half meter with a ruler.
Two members of the group were instructed to visit the laboratory each day of the experiment to water and measure the plants (Handout 1). The measurements that were preformed were to be precise and accurate by the group by organizing a standardized way to measure the plants. The plants were measured from the level of the soil, which was flat throughout all the cups, to the tip of the apical meristems. The leaves were not considered. The watering of the plants took place nearly everyday, except for the times the lab was closed. Respective of cup label, the appropriate drop of solution was added to the plant, at the very tip of the apical meristems.
The fair testing will be carefully checked so the results do not come out to be void. The light intensity will be changed for it is the only variable used in the experiment. Though the temperature, watt of the bulb, amount of water, size of the plant and posit...
Sometimes if you want something you have to go get it. In the short story “A Worn Path” by Eudora Welty. An old lady by the name Phoenix Jackson goes on a journey to get something for someone she loves. She faces many obstacles on the way into town. Eudora Welty uses Phoenix's loving heart to show you have to do things in life for the people you love.
The biomass was calculated by taking counting the number of nodules each plant produced and taking the shoot of each plant, letting in dry for 48h and then weighing it.
...dity variation, largely because RH is not a variable expressed in the Arrhenius equation. It is likely that the Copan researchers, like the experimental parameters of Michels and colleagues (1983) might consider the RH of tropical soils to be always 100 percent. For contexts deeper than 50 cm, this may be a reasonable assumption. However, it should be borne in mind that the majority of the variability in hydration rates occurs between RH values of 90 and 100 percent, and a 1 percent change in RH translates to approximately a 3 percent change in hydration rate (Tremaine 1989). So if blades from Copan were recovered from contexts with 90 percent RH, their OHD dates would be in error by approximately 30 percent, excluding all other sources of error.
In this stage I would use my visual sense so this would be what I can
To make the test fair I will use the same amount of water and the leaf
it is nearly impossible to accurately predict a leaf’s travel downstream, as the slightest change in its position can result in a severe deviation from it’s original path. A
invent devices that would make our task easier in an efficient and accurate way. As we know,
My life is related to the sidewalk I chose because of the characteristics that represent the story of my life. A sidewalk to me is a laid path to my future and along the way there are bumps and cracks in the road. But there is only one rule to my sidewalk. You have to keep walking no matter how hard life gets or no matter how many cracks are in my sidewalk. Sometimes life goes as planned, and sometimes life can be unpredictable or hard off.Just like a sidewalk, the older i get the worst i'll look but underneath the concrete slabs is a man know one knows. Sidewalks can be as hard as the concrete but as soft as the grass. The cracks on my sidewalk represent many different things such as basketball, and hard times.

After reading "A Worn Path", I believed the story to be a metaphor about the "path of life", how one can never turn back (as one must keep going forward), that there are obstacles along the way and to overcome these obstacles, one must fend for themselves, and ultimately, there is a surprise when the journey comes to a close. Although I still believe this to be true, the more central idea that I pulled from this short story is that the path represents the everlasting mark that Phoenix will leave on the world, as she constantly sacrifices her well being in order to save her grandson, despite her physical limitations.
...d have led to inaccurate measurements because the leaves would not have been able to perform photosynthesis and rise to the surface. In addition, the air in the mesophyll layers of the leaves may not have been properly cleared by the syringe, which would have made it easier for the leaf disks to float to the surface because the leaf would have to perform a lower rate of photosynthesis. All of these errors may have been prevented by having a partner check over sections of the experiment to ensure accurate results and repeating the experiment numerous times to account for random error.
The Garden of Forking Paths is ultimately an explanation why an Allied assault on the Serre-Montauban Line was delayed five days in July of 1916. This explanation comes from Dr. Yu Tsun’s personal experience. It starts off with his plan to escape from Captain Richard Madden and his determination to inform the Leader of Germany of where the Allies were going to attack. Tsun gets an early start by taking a train. When he gets off, he gets directions to the home of Dr. Stephen Albert by a group of boys. Yu Tsun remembers a strategy of how to find the central courtyard of a specific type of maze. When he reaches Albert’s home, the gatekeeper lets Tsun in, assuming he was there to see the Garden of Forking Paths. He explains to Dr. Albert about how one of his ancestors, Ts’ui Pen’s manuscript is the labyrinth of the Garden of Forking Paths. When Captain Madden arrives, Yu Tsun shoots Dr. Albert and gets arrested. Sentenced to hang, Tsun is pleased because he got the message to the leader. He killed someone
