If strong efforts are not made to restore and sustain conditions‚ our ecosystem will be destine for collapse. It is imperative that we use TEK (traditional ecological knowledge) as a source of environmental ethics to conserve the earth’s habitats and restore our ecosystem “TEK has a strong potential to contribute to more effective and sustainable approaches to forest management in particular

When together‚ they feel whole” (Carlson & Mero‚ 2013‚ p155). In life‚ no matter what people say‚ we need someone there to catch us when we fall. Having family structure gives our life a sense of strength and being‚ when days are tough turning to your loved ones makes things better. In life‚ there are people worth thousands

text V will be a vector space of finite dimension n over a field K and T : V → V will be a linear transformation. 1 Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors A scalar λ ∈ K is an eigenvalue of T if there is a nonzero v ∈ V such that T v = λv. In this case v is called an eigenvector of T corresponding to λ. Thus λ ∈ K is an eigenvalue of T if and only if ker(T − λI) = {0}‚ and any nonzero element of this subspace is an eigenvector of T corresponding to λ. Here I denotes the identity mapping from V to itself
