It seems more and more there are fewer conservation organizations who speak for the forest, and more that speak for the timber industry. Witness several recent commentaries in Oregon papers that are by no means unique. I’ve seen similar themes from other conservation groups across the West in recent years.
Many conservation groups have uncritically adopted views that support more logging of our public lands based upon increasingly disputed ideas about forest health and fire ecology, as well as the age-old bias against natural processes like wildfire and beetles.
For instance, an article in the Portland Oregonian quotes Oregon Wild’s executive director Sean Stevens bemoaning the closure of a timber mill in John Day Oregon. Stevens said: “Loss of the 29-year-old Malheur Lumber Co. mill would be ‘a sad turn of events’” Surprisingly, Oregon Wild is readily supporting federal subsidies to promote more logging on the Malheur National Forest to sustain the mill.
Explanation:
To convert moles to particles or grams to particles, let us have a firm understanding of what a mole is.
A mole is the unit of measuring quantity of particles.
It is the amount of substance that contains the Avogadro's number of particles.
The particle can be atoms, molecules, formula units, electrons, protons, neutrons, etc.
So, to convert from moles to particles;
1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles
To convert from grams to particles;
First convert to moles;
number of moles =
So, 1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles
The uranium within these items is radioactive and should be treated with care. Uranium's most stable isotope, uranium-238, has a half-life of about 4,468,000,000 years. It decays into thorium-234 through alpha decay or decays through spontaneous fission.
