Non-local approximation Properties
Get PDFThis project concerns the approximation properties of a given set where X is a scattered sequence and Ï•(x) = 1/x* ln(1 + x^2 ). Similar approximation sets are commonly used in interpolation problems and are especially helpful due to their Fourier representation. For our work, we will work to prove the following theorem
How does water quality differ at lentic and lotic freshwater ecosystems in Farmville?
No full textWater quality is a major component in determining ecosystem health. Unfortunately, water pollution is an extensive environmental crisis that has devastating effects. There are various sources of pollution and the largest in the United States is the agriculture field and rural locations such as Farmville have an increased risk. The introduction of pollutants such as phosphorus can decrease biodiversity dramatically. In order to diminish the effects of water pollution we must understand the routes of exposure, conflicting factors, and effects on organisms. For this experiment phosphorus and oxygen levels in two local bodies of water were tested over the course of three weeks. A lotic (Buffalo Creek) and Lentic (Wilck\u27s Lake) body of water were tested to examine the differences between the two. At the conclusion of this study a better understanding about how different bodies of water react to pollutants will be gained and the observable effects on biodiversity
An Investigation into The Effect of Polluted Bodies of Water on the Food Source of Shore Birds
Get PDFThe goal or specific aim of this research is to gain better knowledge into how big of an effect heavy metal pollution is having on the not only the environment but also shorebird species and their food source. Shorebirds are a great climate change indicator and with this new knowledge we can show why they need to be protected even more
Rape as a Weapon of War
No full textRape being used as a weapon of war speaks volumes to how little women are valued in the world, to how men see them as merely objects to maim and mutilate just to prove a point or even for fun. This is a horrid, widespread problem, and not enough people understand the gravity of the situation; they don\u27t realize how rape is a legitimately recognized weapon against communities and villages. This is a topic we want to learn more about because the reality of this issue is somewhat new to us as well; through our research, we can speak up and create awareness for those that don\u27t have a voice
