1 Select the example that describes a non-native species. A species of parrot has evolved to occupy a key niche within the Amazon rainforest ecosystem. Domestic livestock multiplied rapidly throughout eastern North America after their introduction by English colonists. Populations of deer and wolves in Arizona have evolved in relationship with each other. This particular species of orchid has remained within the same environment for hundreds of years.

2 Population ecologists study which of the following characteristics? Number, density, age, and sex of organisms. Temperature regulation, nutrition and metabolism of organisms. Composition, distribution and interaction of species in a given area. Atmosphere, rocks, water and living organisms.

3Choose the statement that is NOT true about conditions within the given biome. Temperate grasslands are in the wetter areas of the temperate zone. Steppes are cold grasslands with little precipitation. All deserts have extremely low precipitation levels. Tundras are very cold with very little rainfall.

4“Rain, snow, wind and temperature all pertain to what we call ‘weather,’” the teacher said. “Climate is the weather in a location over many years. Now, who can tell me what determines the climate in a certain area?” Several students offered answers. Choose the correct answer. Andrea: “The air and land temperatures.” Shane: “The composition of gases in the atmosphere.” Judith: “The amount of precipitation that falls.” Carl: “The area’s physical features.”

5Large rocks at the back of a beach cause the wind speed to slow. Windblown sand begins to drop and build small sand piles, which create another windbreak and more sand is deposited. Gradually, salt-tolerant grasses will begin to stabilize the sand dune with a vast network of root systems. The process described is called __________. community ecology primary succession secondary succession ecosystems ecology

6.Which statement is NOT true about energy and trophic levels within a food web? The rate at which energy accumulates in plants depends on temperature, sun and water. About 90% of the energy available at one trophic level does not transfer to the next. Most of the energy between trophic levels is lost in the form of metabolic heat. Secondary production introduces only 1% of new energy to the food chain.

Please DO NOT respond to this question by copy/pasting the code provided elsewhere on the site, none of those work. Thanks. Virtual Memory Lab This lab project addresses the implementation of page-replacement algorithms in a demand-paging system. Each process in a demand-paging system has a page table that contains a list of entries. For each logical page of the process, there is an entry in the table that indicates if the page is in memory. If the page is in memory, the memory frame number that page is resident in is indicated. Also, for each page, the time at which the page has arrived in memory, the time at which it has been last referenced, and the number of times the page has been referenced since the page arrived in memory are maintained. The page table data structure is a simple array of page-table entries (PTEs). Each PTE contains five fields as defined below: struct PTE { int is_valid; int frame_number; int arrival_timestamp; int last_access_timestamp; int reference_count; } Each process in the system has a page table that is simply an array of PTEs. Each process also has a pool of frames that is allocated. The frame pool for a process is represented as an array of integers, where each Integer represents the frame number of a frame that is free and is available for use by the process. Note that in order to get the frame number in the pool, you first need to access the integer in the array. This lab project aims to exercise the various policies for page replacement. In particular, we study the following three page-replacement policies: First-In-First-Out (FIFO) Least-Recently-Used (LRU) Least-Frequently-Used (LFU) In order to implement the above policies, we need to develop corresponding functions that process page accesses for a process. That is, for each process, given its page table, a logical page number being referenced and the free frame pool of the process, the functions should determine the memory frame number for the logical page. Also, the functions should modify the page table and the free frame pool appropriately. The details of the functions with respect to the different policies are described below. You need to develop code for these functions that implement the specifications. Place the code in a file called virtual.c. You should include the oslabs.h file.

(At least two years of comparable financial statements are required.) a) Assess 7-Eleven’s financial position for year 2020 and 2021 according to i) liquidity position, and how the liquidity position has changed over time from 2020 to 2021. (6 marks) ii) asset management position, and how its asset management efficiency has changed over time. (6 marks) iii) debt management position, and how its debt management has changed over time. (6 marks) iv) profitability ratios, and how its profitability position has changed over time. (6 marks) v) market value ratios, and how its valuation has changed over time. (6 marks) b) Calculate 7-Eleven’s ROE as well as the industry average ROE, using the DuPont equation. From this analysis, how does 7-Eleven’s financial position. (10 marks) c) Write your opinion on what you think would happen to its ratios if the company initiated cost-cutting measures that allowed it to hold lower levels of inventory and substantially decreased the cost of goods sold. No calculations are necessary. Think about which ratios would be affected by changes in these two accounts. (10 marks)

In this week’s reading, you learned about one-to-one and many-to-many relationships. While the concepts may seem beneficial, there are some drawbacks. For this discussion, you need to evaluate the pros and cons of each and make a recommendation regarding the usefulness of using these concepts in the JCC RDBMs .
