Animal Production Systems and Aquculture, Stellenbosch, South Africa Abstract As animals age they develop ways to best handle situations they encounter. The experiment was divided into two parts. For both parts we investigated the behavioural reactions of 1-2 day old chicks to external stimuli. Part 1 we noted any physical responses to the stimuli whereas in part 2 we noted the chick’s average cheeps per minute when encountering the stimuli. When examining the final results of the experiment it

1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT The purpose of this project is to identify the effect that surface modifications have on the urban heat island phenomenon and related ozone problem in the metropolitan area of Chicago, IL. The basic hypothesis is that urban, summertime temperatures can be significantly lowered by increasing the vegetative landscape cover and enhancing the solar reflectivity of paved and roofed surfaces within an urban area. It is proposed that in addition to a decrease in

SN1 and SN2 reactions. Later, the factors which influence both SN1 and SN2 reactions will be explained and competition between the two different types of substitutions will be further elaborated to see which conditions favour each type of reactions. Next, the elimination process of haloalkanes will be discussed and similar to the substitution reaction, the elimination process is also comprised of two types, namely the E1 and E2 reactions. The factors that influence E1 and E1 reactions will be listed

and severity of heat waves. How do heat waves impact short-lived poikilotherms such as insects? In the cricket, Gryllus texensis, 6days of elevated temperatures (i.e. 7°C above the average field temperature and 5°C above their preferred temperature) resulted in increased egg laying, faster egg development and greater mass gain. The increased temperature also increased activity of phenoloxidase and lysozyme-like enzymes, two immune-related enzymes, and enhanced resistance to the Gram-negative bacterium

N 1. Introduction Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has recently received much interest as a potential deposition method for advanced thin-film structures. However, ALD had already been developed and introduced worldwide with the name Atomic Layer Epitaxy (ALE) in
