Introduction, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. We did an experiment (I will attach lab manual) where a luminescent coordination compound was synthesized with 8-hq and at different conditions to see the changes. We were given the IR spectrum data and need to analyze and discuss it. I'll attach the data, extra instructions and the background info/procedure from the lab manual. There are also some "thinking about the data" questions we have to answer in the discussion section that are in the manual.

Genetic engineering has become a part of our culture and it is difficult to tell the difference between unmodified and genetically modified food sources such as plants and animals. After reading this module's material regarding vectors in biotechnology, consider the potential for nanotechnology and gene therapy.

For your initial discussion post, research nanotechnology and its potential use in biotechnology. Explain the potential advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology in health care and discuss whether you would or would not support further research.

Every year, natural disasters impact families, communities, nations, and cultures. Whether the natural disaster is a flood, hurricane, tornado, fire or earthquake, it can alter the environment and cause potential health hazards.

For this module's initial discussion post, research a major national or global disaster that occurred in the last decade. Provide a brief summary of the disaster and explain the common public health risks that occurred as well as potential long-term health risks the victims might be facing. Do you think the type of natural disaster you studied has the highest risk of spreading diseases, or another type of natural disaster? Explain.

Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they were first observed by Pasteur and Koch and later named by Selman Waksman in 1942. Unfortunately, antibiotic resistant microbial strains are becoming more prevalent and therefore making once easily treated infections more difficult to treat.

For your initial discussion post, share your thoughts on three ways that society - not physicians or medical staff - can help to reduce the development of drug resistant microbial strains.

For your initial post, reflect back over the past decade and recall a news-breaking infectious outbreak of a disease that made an impact on you. Please include a link to a news article or video related to your outbreak in your initial post. Explain how that story changed the way you interacted with people, family, or friends.

In total, the word count should be 1500-2,000 words, either all creatively made on a powerpoint presentation. OR a brief presentation, with a research paper to accompany it and explain in depth.
You may choose to do creative projects (art, music, video, screenplay...) instead of papers, but they should involve a similar amount of work and be accompanied by a shorter paper explaining the research and thinking that went into creating them.

What is the main objective of this research?

What 4 factors can lead to different conclusions about the interaction of bark beetle attacks and fire? Hint: see the discussion, page 15.

Please explain Figure 2. and Figure 3.

After accounting for pre-fire biomass and topography, did the authors find that burn severity was higher or lower in forests with more pre-fire insect damage?

Term Paper Assignment - Geography 330 (F19)

Assignment
You are to write a 5-7 page (typed, double-spaced) research-based paper about any topic of relevance to the course.  Maps, diagrams, etc. are welcome in addition to the five pages of text.


Approximate point weighting for final draft:
Your final draft grade will be determined by how well you do the following:
a. Present a well-structured argument with an introduction, thesis statement, logically-organized body and conclusion;
b. Write objective prose (avoid speaking as yourself, asserting personal opinions, drawing from your background personal experiences and observations, etc. (Direct observations are only valid if they are made specifically for this assignment.) 
c. Submit a paper that is grammatically correct and free of punctuation and spelling errors;
d. Draw meaningfully from scholarly geographic sources as well as other sources.  You dont get points for doing this, but you

I argue that the world needs to switch to an environmentally friendly way of treating municipal solid waste rather than the old ways of treating garbage, which is whether landfill or incinerators.

I argue that Waste-to-Energy technology is a new innovative method to handle waste and generate heat to make electricity with fewer gas emissions and water soil pollution.

Please use all the SCHOLARLY articles I have provided. PLEASE, DO NOT USE any outside sources unless it is scholarly.

I will be uploading all the articles necessary to back up my argument (switching to waste-to-energy is the best solution to save the environment). 
 

INTRODUCTION

The small city of Waynesville, Texas, has been identified as a candidate for hydraulic fracturing (aka "fracking"). Fracking is defined by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as an "oil and gas well development process that typically involves injecting water, sand, and chemicals under high pressure into a bedrock formation via the well. This process is intended to create new fractures in the rock as well as increase the size, extent, and connectivity of existing fractures." The result of this process increases gas or oil flow in low-permeability rocks, aiding extraction. Amid worries of disruption to the small town life afforded by the citizens of Waynesville, and concern for environmental impacts, the city council is considering a ban on fracking within city limits. To aid in their decision, they have sought the opinion of members of the community and experts alike.

Your job will be to debate the following motion: The city of Waynesville should impose
