Hypothesis Statement Trees that exhibit gumming are more resistant to fusarium dieback caused by the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) because the gum secreted acts as a defense against beetles that attempt to penetrate the bark‚ and as a result grant the tree faux resistance to the Fusarium euwallaceae fungi. Introduction Californian agriculture is at great risk because of a disease being spread by the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB)‚ Euwallacea sp. The PSHB is an ambrosia beetle

significant difference in the NP solution and the creek water solution. Although we found that the duckweed grows faster in the NP solution‚ rather than the creek water they do indeed have relatively the same mean. Overall our results supports our hypothesis. This also makes us question what kinds of factors are affecting the creek water to kill off the duckweed. Duckweed also is known to stop the growth of algae‚ but in our experiment we ended up having algae grow in some of the wells filled with creek

The Efficient Market Hypothesis(EMH) was first given by Samuelson(1965)‚Fama(1965) and Mandelbrot(1966).It was based on “Random walk Theory”‚ and stated that since the market price will be affected by new information in the market‚ all available information have been fully reflected on the security price.

Procedure: Research and Identify the obesity
