Week 4- PP, Methods

Submitted by aswan on Sun, 09/30/2018 - 22:52

I started by thinking about different locations spider webs mights be found on campus that would be easily accessible for any person. I decided to explore morrill to find spider webs as it is a easy building to access, yet has enough low foot traffic area for spider webs to be easily found. I walked up towards the garden/court yard from North Pleasant to get into Morrill.I entered Morrill 4 North through the door directly under the walkway that connects the two sides of Morrill. As I walked in I immediately looked to my right to see the map of Morrill, noting my location for future reference. I walked down the hallway going past the two double doors at the end of the hallway. I walked down the first set of stairs to the first landing that has two doors on its left and right that allow a person to leave Morrill. I inspected the stairs I had just walked down and I noticed that on the lowest stair there was a spider web on the left side of the stairs when facing up the stairs. I used a ten dollar bill as an object for scale, placing it on the floor of the landing next to the spider web with its width very close to the wall. The bill was angled so that Hamilton’s face was able to be seen, yet the bill appeared upside down in pictures due to it’s placement. I took several photos to ensure that I would have one that satisfied me, electing to use a picture that I used flashed in. After taking these pictures I walked up the stairs and took a picture of the stairwell  from the top landing closest to the door which I had entered initially. The picture included the stairs and the door closest to the stairs. After gathering the pictures I went to Livemaps and selected the location I was at on open street maps and took a screenshot of the map with the pinpointed location. After this I gathered the pictures and the screenshot into Inkscape. I organized the pictures into a square figures with the right half dedicated to the picture of the web, and the left side organized with the picture of the stairwell on top of the Livemaps screenshot.

The top left picture of the stairwell had the values of X= 0.394, Y= 219.951, W= 340.454, and H= 250, this picture also included an arrow pointing at the location of the spider web. The conditions of the line are X=245.877, Y=265.821, W=45.519, and H=46.193. This picture also contains the letter A in a white box, with black borders, at the top left and with the coordinates X=0, Y=428.781, W=42.0, and H=41.563. The bottom left screenshot of the map had the values of X=0.394, Y=0.0, W=340.454, and H=219.951. The picture includes a letter B in a white box, with black borders, at the top left and with the coordinates X=0.0, Y=178.781, W=42.9, and H=41.563 .The right picture of the spider web had the values of X=340.847, Y=0.0, W=375.300, and H=469.951. This picture too has a letter, the letter C, in a white box with black borders with the coordinates X=340.454, Y=428.781, W=42.0, and H=41.563.

The two figures present on my page both have multiple images of the same plant. Both of the figures include three different pictures of the same subtropical/tropical looking plant that has a single orange, and blue flower on it. The pictures of both figures are organized in a similar manner with the largest picture being placed on top of two smaller pictures. The largest picture in both figures includes the largest picture of the plant, with the picture containing the whole plant and not just it’s one flower. The smaller pictures below the large picture  contain close up shots of the flower present on the plant. Both figures also include on their bottom right corners letters A,B, and C. While the two figures are similar in their overall organization and the shots used they do differ in several ways. While they both have letters in each picture the letters they use differ in font type, size, and distance from the bottom right hand corner. The figure on the left is slightly more blurry than the picture on the right, however the figure on the left also has more color than the figure on the right. The figure on the right is more clear than the figure on the left, however the figure on the right is quite discolored with the plant taking on a darker green color that is verging into a grey color. The figure on the left also includes pictures that appear to be closer to the plant than the pictures found on the right figure.

 

Week 3- Perfect Paragraph

Submitted by aswan on Wed, 09/26/2018 - 14:46

In biome 2 the temperature pattern is quite unique when held alongside the biomes of Earth. The average annual temperature sits around 3 degrees Celsius which when compared to biomes present on Earth is somewhat close in nature to temperate deciduous forests (average annual temperature usually around 7.6 degrees Celsius), yet this biome is still on average colder. The overall pattern while it does follow that of the other temperate biomes (forest and grassland) in directionationality and cold winters, it does not reach the same heights. Precipitation follows a consistent pattern similar to the deciduous forest, however the levels of precipitation are on par with that of a rainforest, having almost double the amount of total annual precipitation when compared to a deciduous forest. These two factors of precipitation and temperature would most likely lend themselves to a highly unique environment that would have seasonal changes and at points freezing temperatures with massive amounts of moisture.

 

This biome would most likely be similar in nature to deciduous forest with hits of rainforest characteristics, precipitation wise. Winters would be cold and wet while summers would be average temperature wise but even more intense precipitation wise. Large trees life would likely be supported due to the very consistent temperature and massive amounts of precipitation, precipitation by itself would lend itself to a large amount of biodiversity with regulated temperatures mitigating this as a factor slightly. The latitudinal region would be difficult to ascertain based on the strange characteristics of the environment but most likely it would be found at 30 degrees to 50 degrees.
