the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST)‚ Kruskal’s algorithm is used to determine the MST path for the network. It finds a subset of the edges that forms a tree that includes every vertex‚ where the total weight of all edges in the tree is minimized. If the graph is not connected‚ then it finds a minimum spanning forest that is a minimum spanning tree for each connected component. 2.0 The Problem The Premiere Bank soon will be hooking up computer terminals at each of its branch offices to

Biodiversity is one aspect that lately become much attention for his role in maintaining the continuity of the ecosystem. Shade coffee plantations have very diverse biodiversity and capable of maintaining soil conditions‚ climate‚ and biology the same as natural conditions [1]. However‚ many farmers manage coffee plantation with only one type of shade trees for protection. As a result‚ biodiversity is reduced and consequently erosion‚ and pest attacks increased. Shade coffee plantations was important

Cotton is grown in rotation with other crops (generally legumes) to increase nutrient level in the soil and are sometimes left ‘fallow‚’ allowing a natural build-up of nutrients to reduce the necessity for fertilization. Many cotton farmers use organic fertilizers such as chicken and feed lot

According to the results‚ there was no significant difference between the filtered 100% water composition‚ and the filtered 90% water 10% soap composition. However‚ based on fFigure 2‚ the Average of Absorbance graph‚ showed that growth of the algae for the 100% water composition was observed to be slightly higher than the 90% water 10% soap composition. Meaning the soap may have slightly affected the growth of the algae‚ in some way. One possible‚ reason for a slightly higher growth for the filtered

Biotechnology would replace toxic insecticides with supposedly safer toxins for killing beetles that may be harmful to the crops. Meanwhile‚ biotechnology makes planting easier and cheaper for the farmers‚ which makes the crops more affordable for the consumer. Although these biotech products have not been tested and could be toxic to those who eat them‚ the FDA only requires crops to have a "reasonable certainty of no harm." From an economical standpoint the biotechnological plant is the best for all

is in the way the crop is grown and what it is and is not exposed to. In order to be labeled “organic” the farmer who grew it used renewable resources and conservation of soil and water methods. Also‚ organic farmers do not use conventional pesticides or weed killers‚ which may contain synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge. According to Fisher‚ "Sewage sludge from municipalities’ waste may contain heavy metals and toxins . . .” (1). Rather‚ organic farmers use sophisticated crop rotations‚ spread

for growing a multitude of crops during a certain part of the year. The northern farmers knew how and when to produce wheat‚ corn‚ cattle‚ and hogs. The southern colonist didn’t have as many options as the northern colonist had to earn a living. The entire south mostly owned plantations and grew major cash crops. In the upper half of the southern region mostly tobacco was grown but in the lower regions rice‚ and indigo was grown. With the farmers only growing one crop‚ and not using it for personal
