On april 14, 1912, the titanic's maiden voyage to new york struck an iceberg. of the more than 2,200 passengers and crew on board, only about one third survived. similarly, you find yourself on a smaller ship that is about to sink. as in the titanic, only 30% will survive. in this case, that means that 4 of the 12 passengers will survive. this assignment asks you to determine which four of the twelve passengers or crew that will survive. provide a response to the following questions: 1. which individuals did you select to survive and why? 2. do you believe that there are certain people in our society that are more important than others? if so, who are they? was this part of your consideration process in selecting survivors? 3. can you think of examples of situations in real life where life-and-death decisions are made about people solely based on their position or occupation? explain. passenger/crew list: 1. retired person 2. ship's captain 3. physician 4. nurse 5. migrant worker 6. unemployed mother 7. us senator 8. president of the titanicship line 9. the above president's spouse 10. the above president's baby 11. us army captain 12. elementary school teacher okay guys, my main question is who would you choose from the list and why?

hygrometers and hair thermometers (often found as part of hygrometers/psychrometers) can be used to measure humidity. barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure, while anemometers are used to measure wind speed. so the 2nd and 4th choices should be the correct answers.

explanation:

it establishes america’s basic laws and fundamentals to its citizens.

clearcutting reproduces a new even-aged stand by completely removing the mature stand.

clearcutting as a silvicultural treatment has several characteristics:

it causes a sudden environmental change

it removes the seed source from the regeneration area

the configuration of the clearcut may affect seed dispersal

it begins a new rotation

it will eliminate some pests that require forest cover

overall, it temporarily removes the forest cover, transforming the forest community and environment.

clearcutting followed by artificial (seeded or planted) regeneration has several advantages:

we can avoid delay in restocking the site

we can introduce a selected species, seed source, and genotype

we can control arrangement and spacing

we can achieve uniformity in the new stand

we can overcome the problems associated with securing sufficient natural regeneration.

the shelterwood method involves the removal of most of the mature stand at the end of the rotation, but a portion of the mature stand is left standing.   the shelterwood method serves three basic purposes:

to prepare the stand for production of abundant seed

to modify the environment in a way that promotes germination and survival of the selected species

to build up the amount and size of advance regeneration to ensure the prompt restocking of the new stand following overstory removal.

the shelterwood method involves a sequence of 3 cuttings:

preparatory cuttings: make the seed trees more vigorous and set the stage for regeneration. see our thinning page for more information.

establishment/seed cuttings: open up enough vacant growing space to allow establishment of the new regeneration.

removal cuttings: uncover the new crop to allow it to fill the growing space.

the residual trees in the shelterwood must:

be sturdy and windfirm

be able to survive exposure

flower and reproduce seed

be the best trees of the mature stand

keep in mind that the shelter trees must not occupy the entire site.   a void must be created in order to make room for the new regeneration. the amount of shelter to leave will depend on the following factors:

species characteristics (seeding and shelter requirements)

the number of cuttings in the cutting sequence (1, 2, or 3)

landowner objectives

the size of the area to be regenerated

the final removal harvest level required to be profitable

the shelter must be removed before it impedes the growth of the new stand or threatens its survival.

d - failures.

the only attempted british colony in north america before 1600 was roanoke, virginia, which was a total failure. england claimed several areas, including newfoundland, but made no sustainable attempts to colonize them before 1600.
