1.Why do you think that, at global scale, the story of damaging wildlife is really the story of exotic invasive species? 

2.What do you see as the long term impacts of damaging species on the ecosystems of North America? Explain. Give examples.  

3.Do wildlife diseases impact endangered species? Explain. Give examples. 

4.Are traps lethal or non-lethal devices? Explain your answer, use specific examples. 

5.How important is the experience of the practitioner in using traps or snares to catch a coyote? Explain. 

Please rewrite the problem statement for each stakeholder resulting from too many sea lions, the noxious smell, and feces/pollution. None of your problem statements address the bad smell, this was the root of the problem.

Think about earthquake preparation. You have probably been bombarded with information from all sorts of government entities

A.    Which scenario should someone in San Diego be more concerned about, a magnitude 8.1 on the stretch of the San Andreas Fault from the Salton Sea to San Bernardino, Wrightwood and Palmdale, or a magnitude 7.1 on the offshore portion of the Rose Canyon / Newport-Inglewood Fault (Dana Point to LaJolla)? Explain your answer.

B.     What steps should you take to lessen the effects of an earthquake to you and your loved ones? Remember, you will be responsible for taking care of yourself for three days with no power, no cell service and streets impassible. Think about your furniture, your food and water supplies, medications, etc.

C.     Just for fun, think about the worst place(s) to be when a big earthquake strikes. (I know that after the Northridge quake in 1994, I neither wanted to be on top of an overpass, nor stopped under one!)

What is a water footprint? You can show it on a graph or table. What food-consumption patterns or direct water-use habits explain your water footprint? Note: Your income is used to estimate your water footprint from the use of industrial goods. This is not a very exact estimate. Choose a couple of water-intensive foods that you consume and indicate in which countries or regions they are produced. Are these countries or regions water-stressed? Do you think your diet is relevant to water availability in those places? Explain.

We discussed many energy options in this module and the previous module. Taking into account all the energy options we learned about in this course, please discuss the following:

1. In your evaluation, which of the discussed energy solutions benefits our society the most? Please explain.(Solar & Wind
   Biomass & Biofuels
   Fuel Cells & Geothermal
   Power Grid & Efficiency)
2. What values is your evaluation based on?
3. Evaluate the government actions to implement the energy solution you selected. Is the government doing enough? Please explain. Do you have any suggestions to improve the implementation of this solution?

The net power of a combined gas-steam power plant is 450 MW. The pressure ratio of the gas turbine cycle is 14, the air enters the compressor at a temperature of 300 K and the turbine at a temperature of 1400 K. Combustion end gases coming out of the gas turbine produce steam at a waste heat boiler at 8 MPa pressure and 400 degrees Celsius temperature and exit the boiler at 460 K temperature. The steam cycle has an open feed water heater operating at 0.6 MPa pressure, the condenser pressure is 20kPa. Recognizing that all compression and expansion are isentropic;

a)

The ratio of mass flow of air to mass flow of steam,

b)

In the combustion chamber, the air is given to the air in unit time,

c)

calculate the thermal efficiency of the combined cycle.

what is the effect of environmentally induced transgenerational epigenetics on natural selection, give an example.

4-Hydroxyacetophenone has a role as plant metabolite and fungal metabolite. Write the products formed when 4-hydroxyacetophenone reacts with the following reagents. i. (CH3)2CHMgBr followed by H3O+ ii. excess CH3OH, H+ iii. NH2OH, H+ iv. H2/Pt

1. The Hawaiian volcanoes are all part of a chain of islands that have been formed by an intraplate hotspot. The volcanoes of the Big Island, such as Kilauea, are the only ones active now, because the Big Island is currently located on top of the hotspot. Look at the article about Lo'iki seamount. Based on its location offshore from Kilauea, and the fact that Lo'iki has only become active fairly recently, which direction do you think the Pacific Plate is currently moving? Explain your reasoning.
