Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus
contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the ...

People visit different places drawn by various reasons. Depending on what basis that reason is founded, it all has its genesis on what strikes an individual’s attention. In a case where two similar sites offering almost the same product or service may end up with one being a favorite destination place for people than the other. Pine & Gilmore (1999) attributes this to how one site may package itself and stand out of the crowd regarding its corporate identification. This may be tagged to its thematic presentation; the theme by which it is easily identifiable from the rest of ...

Introduction

Close to 60% of all new graduate nurses who are employed at health care institutions, leave those places within the first year of employment (Pine & Tart, 2007). The cumulative effect of this high turnover has staggering losses. A 2004 economic analysis of this issue reported that the dollar cost of turnover per Registered Nurse (RN) in a 6000-bed acute care hospital is more than $60,000 (Ponyton et al, 2007). Nurse turnover negatively affects the ability of the patient care team thereby compromising the quality of care given in that hospital. In addition it results in personal losses to the ...

My mother taught me that there are a million ways to love a tree, and in my youth I loved in each of them. I didn’t understand singular, monogamous love; I loved each tree I came across with abandon, tripping up into her branches if she were large enough, or sitting in his shade if he were still young, curled up with a book, often breathing in sunny summer air that is now tinted with the sepia color of memory.
She taught me to climb, my mother, and immediately regretted it. I was a terror on the ground to begin with, ...

Customer Centricity has been explained as a business strategy where business functions revolve around understanding and satisfying customer needs. MacDonald (2016) terms it as a strategy which means putting the customer first and at the centre of a business that consists of understanding the customer needs, building a relationship with him and retaining him. From the 4 Ps of Management, the focus has changed to ‘get, keep, grow’ – meaning getting customers, retaining them and serving them facilities which help in winning over other customers too. A Customer Strategy focuses on the acquisition of customers, retaining them and increasing revenues ...

Terrestrial Ecosystems Dynamic

Ecological systems are dynamic by nature and constantly feel the influence of climate variability. Since the structure and functioning of forest ecosystems are controlled by climatic factors through metabolic function, it may change in the future dynamics of forest restoration, growth, progress and growth of tree mortality, as well as the relationship of rocks. It is expected that climate change will be faster than the rate at which ecosystems can adapt and repair itself.
Ecosystems of the North must first of all respond to possible global warming because of climate-driven ecosystem response reveals itself most clearly. At high ...

- Food miles and 100-mile diet
A 100-mile diet refers to a diet that consists of foods raised and grown within 100 miles of a dinner table (Tancock). Usually, food travels some 1,500 miles before reaching the dinner table in North America (Tancock). The traveling miles are called “food miles” and affect the environment, quality of food and farming practices. Food miles increase carbon emissions through the numerous planes, boats, and trucks involved in the transport of food materials. In addition, food miles promote unsafe agricultural practices because the consumers are unlikely to visit the farms ...

Q. 1
Henry David Thoreau’s experience at Ktaadn was quite phenomenal; it changed his views about nature and science forever. As a naturalist, Thoreau believed in using nature facts and processes to state human truths. He liked the idea of using nature to explain analogy. Thoreau also believed in spending time in the mountains, and the wilderness. The idea was quite mind-blowing to him as both (the mountains and the wilderness) were not destroyed by civilization; they were real and pure. It was this innate love for nature, combined with the zeal to experience nature in its raw ...

Yin and Yang are the basic principle and concept for both Chinese philosophy and culture that is traced back to the third century BCE. According to the principle, all the things that exist and surround us are inseparable and contradicting. Examples of this are female-male, old-young, darkness-light. These opposing aspects attract each other and, as it is illustrated by the well-known symbol of Yin-Yang principle, each of opposites has a part of the other in its core.

According to the principle, Yin stands for:

Define and discuss time and space utility

Products must be transported from the place where they are produced to the place where customers demand it to be delivered. The value-add that the product gains due to its transport is called space utility. The time utility is the length of time before or between the product deliveries, which consists of mostly storage and inventory time. When the organizations are able to deliver the goods at a time they are needed, then their time utility increases.

C13 Economics Assignment 08 Part 1
Monopolies develop in several ways (Vandewetering, n.d.). There are “natural” monopolies that emerge from the scales of some businesses. Electric generation utilities, for example, require multi-million dollar investments in the plant and more millions to build the distribution infrastructure. At these levels of entry costs, virtually no competition can develop. Some monopolies develop around ownership of a scarce resource. The DeBeers company, for example, controls a large percentage of the world’s supply of diamonds.
The third form of monopoly is the result of government action. For example, patent and copyright protection ...

The Dawes Act (1887)
The Dawes Act of 1887 was intended to assimilate Native Americans, with the intent of making them more like white Americans. To do so, various Native American tribes were removed from their homelands and relocated to areas called Indian Territory. Upon arrival at their new lands, they were told that the land they now occupied was to be owned communally, whereas, prior to the Dawes Act, Native American tribal communities individually owned their own familial lands. On February 8, 1887, the 49th Congress went on to specify in detail, how these communal lands were to ...

Representation of Women in Disney Films

Proper representation of the society in films is essential as it enables the viewer to generate an accurate understanding of the community. In fact, lack thereof leads one into making erroneous judgments of the people represented in the film. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that the representation of gender roles in Disney films has undergone constant developments over the years with relation to the changing roles gender roles in the concurrent society. Precisely, women have evolved from the lesser powerful and weaker entities described through conventional tales to stronger and independent individuals in the ...

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is thought to be a powerful legal tool to conserve biodiversity and recover endangered species from extinction. But, the law has several implementation flaws and seriously affects land management decisions (Rohlf, 1991). ESA mostly concentrates on protecting the individual species at risk rather than the whole biodiversity in the region. Further, the classification of endangered, threatened and recovered species is not very clear (Rohlf, 1991) i.e. sometimes a viable number of the organism might be recovered, but sufficient number of breeding pairs must be established to ensure complete recovery and delisting ...

A close analysis of the narrative in context portrays the ways in which Binur faces the resistance from the society and himself puts up resistance to the society around in his ...

Police officers carry the brunt of responsibility and dedication towards welfare. They are responsible in restoring peace and order around town by apprehending criminals. Police fieldwork can take too much toll on a police officer, as the most gruesome scenarios and blood-shedding crime scenes presented can be an intimidating experience. Civilians rely on police officers during perilous scenarios for protection. Since police officers are the first line of defense, they have to live by and endure different kinds of beating. When police officers constantly take that kind of beating and too much exposure, they could show some eventual signs of ...

Is there anything we can or should do, to save the environment? Before we answer that question, it would be appropriate to understand why this question is raised in the first place. As the population grows, it has to be compensated by infrastructural development, which means that, more and more uninhibited land has to be utilized for housing and other social necessities. These could be the development of roads and drinking water, schools, colleges and hospitals, and industries to support employment opportunities. A number of developing countries have sold agricultural and barren land to multinationals to establish their manufacturing ...

According to the concept of social relations, means of production can be privately or publicly owned depending on the order established in a society.

McDonaldization concept was first put into application by Henry Ford in his assembly line so as to increase the production of automobiles.

To be more specific, according to George Ritzer it is the process that has led to the principles of fast-food restaurant dominating most sectors of the American society and the entire world at ...
