Week 11: Speciation, Taxonomy, and Systematics-SHORT ANSWER

Recent news reports have shown video of U.S. military strikes against boats in the Caribbean. Assume a similar strike is planned.  No aircraft is in the vicinity of the boat.  Briefly explain three (3) issues that could make it difficult to obtain real‑time (or near‑real‑time) imagery of the boat from a satellite.

A typical satellite today has one large rocket engine (used once to get into the desired orbit) and a number of smaller thrusters (used as needed to keep it in the desired orbit).  The thrusters typically use hydrazine as the monopropellant. What should the satellite operator do when the hydrazine level runs low, as discussed in a lecture in this course?  Explain why that is the appropriate action, as discussed in the lecture. 

Between the 18th and 19th century, we saw a shift in how western biomedicine defined health and disease. In the 18th century, health was largely defined by what was normal for the individual patient, while in the 19th century normal was defined as what was statistically normal at the population level.
