If a sow bug is placed in a choice tray, and has access to decaying leaves, potatoes, grapes, and sow bug food, the sow bug will choose the decaying leaves over its other options. This hypothesis was based on research stating that a sow bug's main food source is decaying vegetation. This is the food they are accustomed to and therefore will select over the other three options which they rarely if ever would have access to.…
JustSave Foods is a chain of 19 grocery stores in North Carolina owned by Merchants Distributors Inc. (MDI). While they are now a sister chain of Lowes Foods, JustSave’s stores were originally Lowes stores not too long ago. The 19 stores are largely located in more rural areas with more tight-knit communities. Due to their poor performance in comparison to local competitors, it was clear to management at MDI that the stores needed a change from what Lowes Foods offers. While one part of that change is focused more on appealing to the economies of these rural communities with lower prices, management at MDI believes that another significant change that needs to be made is in the realignment of JustSave’s organizational culture.…
The results from our experiment does support our hypothesis. When comparing and viewing the data of the amount of pullets that were recording, pill bugs preferred rotten fruit to rotten meat. The accuracy of our data was based upon the amount of times the treatment was repeated and the amount of Pill bugs that died. Pill bugs cannot live in a cold environment because they will freeze. Due to the irregular climate in the North country, that would be a factor that could not have been controlled and would be one of the variables that caused the pill bugs to die. If this experiment was replicated, a controlled climate and a longer testing period would help produce more stable results.…

A 1 lb. bag of acorns were bought and a can of less sodium corn. The experiment took place in Bush Pasture Park in Salem Oregon where Eastern Gray squirrels are thriving within an Urban community, to better replicate the Eastern Gray Squirrels desire for human food. The entire was placed in a clear 8 ounce bowl on a green picnic table so it would, again, replicate a human environment. Next, then 10 acorns were placed randomly around the picnic table. The acorns were placed within 45 feet of the table so the experiment would be closely monitored. The squirrel’s food preference would monitored within a 6, 1 hour time frames. The first 3 were taken on Sunday, June 1, and then Monday, May 2nd. Within each one hour, the squirrel’s food preference was…

Also these companies usually use promotions such as discount in order to increase the demand. At the beginning this type of product was more inelastic because just a few companies with less differentiated products were playing in the market.…

the new mutated pests. So eventually more and more pesticides are created to protect the crop. Carson says, “destructive insects often undergo a ‘flareback’ or resurgence, after spraying, in numbers greater than before” (8) Not only must researchers develop new pesticides, but also farmers need to use more. The farmers use the poison for temporary relief from the pest problems confronting them. The pesticides are a quick and easy solution for a pest issue that, ironically, have left people with a larger and stronger force of pests. Carson says that the problem is not actually with the pests, but with overproduction in farming. She argues that the aim of researchers and the government should be fix overproduction instead of dealing…
At the first three trials (idk about the last two) squirrel(s) where often still seen foraging in the peanut tray after the elapsed time of the trial. This shows that the squirrels didn’t reach the point where they would give up in that foraging location. Also at the first three trials the squirrels seemed “uninterested” in the tray with the sunflower seeds and weren’t even touched.…
