Red-Black Trees

Red-Black Trees. Red-black trees: Overview. Red-black trees are a variation of binary search trees to ensure that the tree is balanced . Height is O (lg n ), where n is the number of nodes. Operations take O (lg n ) time in the worst case .

B-Trees

B-Trees. Large degree B-trees used to represent very large dictionaries that reside on disk. Smaller degree B-trees used for internal-memory dictionaries to overcome cache-miss penalties. AVL Trees. n = 2 30 = 10 9 (approx). 30 <= height <= 43 .

Biology 3A – human impact

Biology 3A – human impact. Salinity. Trees have long roots and draw up water from deep underground – keeping water table low Grasses have shallow roots and do not draw up the same amount of water When trees are cleared for pasture or houses, the water table rises, bringing salts to the surface.

All plants have features (adaptations) which help them to survive and reproduce

Adaptation. All plants have features (adaptations) which help them to survive and reproduce in the places where they live (their habitat). Trees lose water through their leaves. In winter it can be very cold and it’s more difficult for trees to get water from the soil.
