Summer Diapause of the Clover Leaf Weevil, \u3ci\u3eHypera Punctata,\u3c/i\u3e and Lesser Clover Leaf Weevil, \u3ci\u3eHypera Nigrirostris,\u3c/i\u3e in Wisconsin

Low respiration rates, immobility, lack of feeding, and undeveloped reproductive systems confirmed a summer diapause in the overwintered and current-year adults of the clover leaf weevil, Hypera punctata, and lesser clover leaf weevil, Hypera nigrirostris. The prolonged summer diapause and extended winters in Wisconsin set strict limitations on the available time for damaging populations to develop on red clover, Trifolium pratense thus assuring the status of these weevils as minor pests

The Diversity of Terrestrial Mammals Surrounding Waterfall at Billy Barquedier National Park

Billy Barquedier is a National Park located in the Stann Creek district of Belize that contains Neotropical vegetation and wildlife. This study was performed to provide a baseline inventory and appearance frequency patterns of the terrestrial mammals located within Zone 1 of the park near a waterfall and to gain a greater understanding of the biodiversity and activity patterns of terrestrial mammals within the park. The methods included camera traps, small Sherman live traps, large live traps, and tracking methods. A non-random sampling method of placing camera traps and live traps on or near human-made or animal-made trails was used to identify the maximum amount of species possible within the eight-week study period. Bait including the local fruit Mamey Apple (Pouteria sapota) was used to attract wildlife to the study area. The hypothesis was at least eight species would be identified during the eight-week study period. The results indicated eleven species were identified, therefore the null hypothesis less than eight species would be identified was rejected and the alternative hypothesis that at least eight species would be identified was accepted. The non- random sampling method introduced bias into the data. Consequently, definite conclusions about relative density and abundance of animals in the area cannot be drawn by this study alone. However, chi-squared tests revealed statistically significant evidence animals appeared more frequently in the central region of the study site, during the first three days the cameras were set out, and during the nighttime hours (2000 to 0459)

Support and power plant documentation for the gas turbine powered bus demonstration program

The operational experience obtained for the GT404-4 gas turbine engines in the intercity and intracity Bus Demonstration Programs is described for the period January 1980 through September 1981. Support for the engines and automatic transmissions involved in this program provided engineering and field service, spare parts and tools, training, and factory overhauls. the Greyhound (intercity) coaches accumulated 183,054 mi (294,595 km) and 5154 hr of total operation. The Baltimore Transit (intracity) coaches accumulated 40,567 mi (65,285 km) and 1840 hr of total operation. In service, the turbine powered Greyhound and Transit coaches achieved approximately 25% and 40% lower fuel mileage, respectively, than did the production diesel powered coaches. The gas turbine engine will require the advanced ceramic development currently being sponsored by the DOE and NASA to achieve fuel economy equivalent not only to that of today's diesel engines but also to the projected fuel economy of the advanced diesel engines of the 1990s. Sufficient experience was not achieved with the coaches prior to the start of service to identify and eliminate many of the problems associated with the startup of new equipment. Because of these problems, the mean miles between incident were unacceptably low. The future gas turbine system should be developed sufficiently to establish satisfactory durability prior to evaluation in revenue service. Commercialization of the gas turbine bus engine remains a viable goal for the future

O professor/ativista: Uma introdução ao conhecimento, poder e educação

Este ensayo fue extraído de Michael W. Apple, Knowledge, Power, and Education: The Selective Works of Michael W. Apple, publicado en Nueva York por la editorial Routledge en 2013. Traducido por Guillermina BelaviEs un artículo para la comprensión de una trayectoria vital comprometida. Mike Apple hace un relato biográfico acerca de cómo ha llegado a ser el docente activista que es. Esta narrativa comienza en el momento que él se incorpora a la Facultad de Educación, como estudiante. Ahonda en sus raíces familiares y su contexto inicial para seguir el camino hasta la actualidad. Describe su trayectoria en primera persona y proporciona un mirada desde dentro cómo diferentes experiencias vitales han ido hilvanando lo que es Apple como educador y cómo se ha construido su obra. Analiza sus obras, sus lecturas, describe su reflexiones sobre el poder, la educación y el currículum. En sus hitos vitales señala que Wisconsin fue un lugar donde pudo realizar un trabajo crítico verdaderamente serio y comprometido. Un lugar perfecto para ser un “docente/activista”.This is an article for understanding a committed life story. Mike Apple makes a biographical narrative about how he became the scholar/activist who is. This story begins when he joined the Faculty of Education, as a student. He digs into his family roots and his original background and follows the path till today. He describes his experience in first person and provides a view from the inside about how different life experiences have been tacking to what Apple is as an educator and how he has built his work. He analyses his works, his readings, he describes his thoughts on power, education and curriculum. In his vital milestones, he notes that Wisconsin was a place where he could make a critical truly serious and committed work.
