The webvolution’s impact on vocational classrooms and administration

We are eyewitnesses of a Webvolution; a revolution brought about by the explosion of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW). Few innovations have been embraced more quickly than the Internet. The current trend of the Internet will change the face of education, as we know it. Almost every public school in the United States has Internet access and other countries are adopting these technologies at a rapid pace. The Internet is perhaps the first truly global environment. This paper will explore the potential of utilizing the WWW as a resource for vocational classrooms and administration. It provides informative information on such topics as: (1) true cost of information technology ownership; (2) using an Application Service Provider (ASP); (3) using the Internet as a communication tool; (4) data security issues; and (5) fundamental changes in the infrastructure requirements of information technology

Evaluation of Foliar Fungicides and Insecticides on Soybeans in Northwest Iowa

Iowa State University assessed foliar fungicides and insecticides on soybeans at seven ISU locations across Iowa including the Northwest Farm (Sutherland), Northern Farm (Kanawha), Northeast Farm (Nashua), Curtiss Farm (Ames), Armstrong Farm (Lewis), McNay Farm (Chariton), and Southeast Farm (Crawfordsville) (Figure 1)

Evaluation of Foliar Fungicides on Soybeans in 2018

Soybean foliar fungicides were evaluated for foliar disease management and yield response across seven Iowa State University research and demonstration farms in 2018. These included the Northwest Research and Demonstration Farm(Sutherland), Northern Research and Demonstration Farm (Kanawha), Northeast Research and Demonstration Farm(Nashua), Central Iowa Research Farms (Ames), Armstrong Memorial Research and Demonstration Farm (Lewis), McNay Memorial Research and Demonstration Farm (Chariton), and Southeast Research and Demonstration Farm(Crawfordsville)

Designing a Protected Area to Safeguard Imperiled Species from Urbanization

Reserve design is a process that can address ecological, social, and political factors to identify parcels of land needed to sustain wildlife populations and other natural resources. Acquisition of parcels for a large terrestrial reserve is difficult because it typically occurs over a long timeframe and thus invokes consideration of future conditions such as climate and urbanization changes. In central Florida, the U.S. government has authorized a new protected area, the Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge. The new refuge will host important threatened and endangered species and habitats, and will be located to allow for species adaptation from climate change impacts. For this study we combined habitat objectives defined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and projections from two urbanization models to provide guidance for Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge design. We used Marxan with Zones to find nearoptimal solutions for protecting explicit amounts of five target habitats. We identified parcels for inclusion into the reserve design that the models allocated among two zones representing different methods of protection: fee-simple purchase (up to 20,234 ha authorized by the U.S. government), and conservation easement agreements (up to 40,469ha authorized). As expected, for all scenarios we found an increase in costs as the proportion of fee-simple purchases was increased, reflecting the lesser cost of easements, but the number of parcels required for protection differed little among scenarios. The two urbanization models showed considerable agreement over which habitat patches they did not forecast to be developed, and some agreement over which parcels might be developed. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may benefit from focusing on parcels that our analyses select frequently under both urban scenarios because these parcels are more likely to be in areas where there are fewer urbanization threats and a lower demand for land. The reserve designs we generated met U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service habitat goals within fee and easement zone restrictions, and we found reserve configurations that fell well below the mandated size limit
