Western Oregon is a region that is threatened by landslides that can cause hazards to the public’s safety‚ their natural resources‚ and infrastructure. The most hazardous areas are in the mountain terrains. Landslides are a common occurrence in Western Oregon. They can be very devastating to homes and businesses and each year millions of dollars are spent repairing the damage caused by landslides (Hofmeister‚ 2002). Landslides are not individual events‚ they occur in conjunction with other factors

CHAPTER 3 Response surface methodology 3.1 Introduction Response surface methodology (RSM) is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques for empirical model building. By careful design of experiments‚ the objective is to optimize a response (output variable) which is influenced by several independent variables (input variables). An experiment is a series of tests‚ called runs‚ in which changes are made in the input variables in order to identify the reasons for changes in

Question 1 Surface level diversity Surface level diversity are those differences that are easily noticeable such as age‚ gender‚ ethnicity/race‚ culture‚ language‚ disability etc. Surface level diversity is easy to be measured and managers/recruiters can fall into the wrong practice of discrimination based on these factors. For example‚ thinking that performance degrades with age‚ they might prefer younger workforce. Surface level diversity is often difficult to change. For e.g. racial differences

light intensity onto the leaf’s surface and the surface area of the leaf. Hypothesis I think the light intensity could affect the surface area in the following way: ·A higher light intensity could make the surface area of the leaf larger. The reason I think a higher light intensity could make the surface area larger is the fact that there would be a larger amount of chlorophyll‚ containing chloroplasts‚ for photosynthesis. By having leaves of a larger surface area‚ there would be a much more efficient

Surface Tension of Water I. Purpose How does adding soap to water change its surface tension? II. Background Adhesion is the bond between two substances of different makeups. In water‚ adhesion allows it to stick to other surfaces. Cohesion is the bond between two of the same substances. A hydrogen bond is a type of cohesion in water in which the hydrogen atoms of one water molecule being attracted to the oxygen atom of another water molecule. In water‚ each molecule in the middle is pulled

gravity and the type of surface was tested through a series of experiments. In lab 4.1‚ the force of gravity was tested through various surface types‚ including: tabletop‚ waxed paper‚ paper towel‚ fine sandpaper‚ and coarse sand paper. In lab 4.2‚ two different surface types that were tested included: tabletop and coarse sand paper. This lab compared the two averages between both tabletop and coarse sandpaper using different amounts of blocks. In lab 4.3‚ the surface area of the blocks sliding across

English 1A November 15‚ 2013 Placing Limitations on Science Science is a great way to learn and understand how our universe works. Once we learn science‚ we’re opened many new doors and can even learn how to manipulate our very own universe. Throughout the course of human events‚ science has helped mankind overcome a wide range of issues. However‚ science is a double-edged sword and has also brought many new issues. It is important to place limitations on science and research in order to prevent

Depending on the cancer that one may have cancer cells have more chromosomes that are scattered which is for why cancer cells are formed. In cell division all living things obtain cells in which come from other preexisting cells. If normal cells are do not divide and make new cells then cancer will occur. In order of all cells to be
