Incremental dating techniques allow the construction of year-by-year annual chronologies, which can be temporally fixed (i.e., linked to the present day and thus calendar or sidereal time) or floating.

Archaeologists use tree-ring dating (dendrochronology) to determine the age of old pieces of wood. Trees usually add growth rings on a yearly basis, with the spacing of rings being wider in high growth years and narrower in low growth years. Patterns in tree-ring growth can be used to establish the age of old wood samples, and also give some hints to local climatic conditions. This technique is useful to about 9,000 years ago for samples from the western United States using overlapping tree-ring series from living and dead wood.

Answer:

Dendrochronology

Explanation:

    The science of dendrochronology is based on the phenomenon that trees usually grow by adding rings, which goes by the name of tree ring dating. Dendrochronologists date events and variations in environments in the past, analyzing and comparing growth patterns of tree rings and ancient wood. They can determine the exact calendar year each tree ring was formed.

    Dendrochronological findings played an important role in early radiocarbon dating. Tree rings provided necessary material of truly known age to verify the accuracy of the carbon dating method 14. By the late 1950s, several scientists (and especially the Dutch Hessel de Vries) were able to confirm the discrepancy between the ages of radiocarbon and ages in calendar years through results obtained by carbon dating of tree rings. Tree rings were dated through dendrochronology.

    Currently, tree rings continue to be used to calibrate radiocarbon determinations. Collections of tree rings of different ages are available to provide records dating back to the last 11,000 years. The most common reference trees are Pinus aristata pine, found in the USA, and Quercus sp., From Ireland and Germany. Radiocarbon dating laboratories are known to have used data from other tree species.

An example of this is to whether smoke cigarette or not. People smoke whenever they feel anxious with their activities but they were thinking that it is not a habit, but in the end, they will be used to it that is why they tend to forget how to live without smoking. This is the reason why they got addicted and to some serious problems with their health.

Jose and Karl were both exposed to the influenza virus at work. Jose had a flu shot made from killed influenza virus six weeks a
ipn [44]

The correct answer is Karl will get sick and Jose will not this time, but neither will get this influenza again since they both will have acquired active immunity to it.

In the case of Jose artificially active immunity has been induced due to vaccination. A vaccine instigates a primary response against the antigen without resulting in any signs of the disease. On the other hand, Karl will acquire active immunity naturally in future, as when an individual get exposed to a live pathogen, he or she develops the disease, and turns immune as an outcome of the primary immune response.
