What is an Index valve on a sprinkler system and how do you repair it?
Q. My sprinkler system won't switch zones. My neighbor told me that it was probably my index valve. This is suppose to be an automatic valve that uses back pressure to switch from zone to zone automatically. I have a well pump that provides water to the system and was wondering if the valve would be close to the pump? How easy is it to repair or replace this type of valve?

How do I calculate Simpson's Diversity Index when I have zero in the denominator?
Q. When I take a sample but collect zero organisms, I can't calculate the diversity index because that would produce a zero in the denominator, however you can calculate the index for a zero result. Can I assume that a sample with zero organisms is the same as a sample where zero is calculated as the diversity index? Thanks!

A. Yes. If you have no populations you can have no diversity.

A. When you upload your index page in your main folder or any directory folder, that page should open by default. If not, you should ask your hosting provider about it. Keep in mind that your index page must be named "index", regardless of the type (index.html, index.htm, index.php, etc.)
