    Assignment 3a
    (To be submitted on the 17 May 2019)
    1. Design a constructed wetland to treat domestic wastewater from a small town of 6000 population. Wastewater generation is at 160 litres per capita per day. The initial BOD of the primary treated wastewater is 180 mg/l and the treated wastewater needs to conform to a BOD standard of 30 mg/l. Fine and medium sized gravel are as substrate material for wetland bed of depth 0.6 m. Assume the water depth is 0.4 m and the hydraulic gradient is 0.003. Further assumptions are porosity of 40% and hydraulic conductivity of 10.2 x 10-2 m/sec. Annual average temperature of water is 27oC.
    2. Calculate the volume of rain tank required for Rain Water Harvesting. The area of the roof is 100 m2. Assume the average ddemand is =50 L/person per day. The house is occupied by four people. The monthly rainfall is summarised in the table below.

  • On the FIU campus there are three large freshwater ponds: DM pond, OE pond, and Hennington pond….

    Worksheet 3 – Data Analysis (100 points)
    This worksheet is designed to help you practice using R to organize, analyze, and present data.
    Reminder: Follow the correct formatting for all worksheets and assignments (12 pt font, double-spaced, do not include original questions). Incorrect formatting will result in a 5% penalty on this assignment.
    Answer/address all of the following questions. In all cases, we require that your work be typed and that you copy your summary tables and graphs onto your answer document.
    Please note for all questions:
    * TABLES must have (i) a proper caption above and (ii) a heading for each column indicating what data are in the column and the unit of measure (e.g. cm, grams, %).
    * GRAPHS must have (i) a proper caption below, (ii) a title for each axis indicating what data are being shown and the unit of measure (e.g. cm, grams, %), and (iii) if needed, means plotted with standard deviations shown as error bars. For graphs showing relationships between two variables, choose a dependent variable (i.e., species composition or biomass) that will be shown on the Y-axis and an independent variable (e.g. distance from the shore, water depth, soil depth, etc.) which will be shown on the X-axis.
    Case Study 1 (39 points)
    Hennington pond was the only pond on the FIU campus not treated with chemicals or subjected to storm run-off. In March 2007, a sewage main ruptured and the lake became contaminated with sewage effluent.
    You have been provided with data on the phosphorus levels (ug/L) in Hennington pond for two years: 2004 (before perturbation) and 2007 (after perturbation). For both years, sampling was conducted by collecting water samples from 20 random sites within the pond.
    Based on observations of Hennington pond during 2004 and 2007, we could ask the following question:

    Case Study 2 (33 points)
    On the FIU campus there are three large freshwater ponds: DM pond, OE pond, and Hennington pond. The FIU irrigation committee has decided to increase the drainage of water to one of the three ponds to reduce flooding on campus. Therefore, they are interested in knowing which pond(s) could withstand receiving more water without overflowing.
    You have been provided with data on the water depth (meters) in the three ponds. For each pond, sampling was conducted by measuring the water depth at 20 random points within each pond.
    Based on observations of these three ponds and the need to increase water flow into one of the ponds, we could put forth the following questions:
    Is there a significant difference in average yearly water levels across the three ponds?
    13. For the study above, identify the following: (4 points)
    a. Population
    b. Sample
    c. Parameter
    d. Statistics

    b. Do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
    c. Write out the appropriate conclusion (either the null or alternative hypothesis).
    Case Study 3 (28 points)
    You have been provided with data on the percentage cover and average height of Thalassia testudinum (Turtlegrass, which is an aquatic plant that lives in the ocean) along a 50 meter transect running from the shoreline out into the water at Crandon Park beach. Sampling was conducted using the line transect sampling technique.
    Based on observations at Crandon Park, we could put forth the following questions:

    Sorted Linked Array List (SLAL)
    You are tasked to implement a linear data structure that is essenetially a linked list of arrays. Each node of the linked list has at most k elements and at least floor(k/2) elements unless the linked list has only one node. In that case, the node can have 0 to k elements stored in the node.
    This data structure stores numbers in ascending sorted order (from small to large) and supports the operations to find, insert and delete numbers.
    Implement Find Methods:
    Given a number, implement methods to (1) find the node that may contain the number, and (2) find the location of the number in the node, or (3) report that the number is not in the list.
    Implement Insert Methods
    Given a number, implement methods to (1) insert the number to SLAL and ensure that the constraints are not violated or (2) report that the number is already in the list.
    Implement Delete Methods
    Given a number, implement methods to (1) remove the number from SLAL and ensure that the constraints are not violated or (2) report that the number is not in the list.
