Origins, Composition And Distribution Of The Bees Of Cuba (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila), Julio A. Genaro

Insecta Mundi

The origins of the Cuban bee fauna are reviewed. This fauna began to form 40 million years ago during the Proto Antilles period, through ancestors that arrived in successive invasions from adjacent continental areas. The composition of the Antillean fauna has evolved continuously over millions of years until the present time. The native bee fauna of Cuba is represented by 89 species, contained in 29 genera and 4 families. The number of genera represented per family is as follows: Colletidae (3), Halictidae (8), Megachilidae (4), and Apidae (14).

Synopsis Of The Oryctini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) From The Brazilian Amazon, Hector Jaime Gasca Alvarez, Claudio Ruy Vasconcelos Da Fonseca, Brett Ratcliffe

Insecta Mundi

The Oryctini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) is a large tribe of worldwide distribution with approximately 26 genera and 230 species. Fourteen genera and 113 species are found in the Neotropical region. Knowledge of the tribe in the Neotropics is fragmentary, necessitating further studies that address taxonomy, biology, and geographical distribution patterns.

The composition of the group in the study area consisted of 7 genera, 18 species and 2 subspecies found in 7 states, 91 municipal districts, and approximately 167 specific localities. States with larger number of species are Amazonas and Pará, with …

Closing The Gap: Education Requirements Of The 21st Century Production Workforce, Kyle B. Stone, Karen Kaminski, Gene Gloeckner

Journal of STEM Teacher Education

Due to the large number of individuals retiring over the next ten years a critical shortage of people available to work within the manufacturing industry is looming (Dychtwald, Erickson, & Morison, 2006). This shortage is exacerbated by the lack of a properly educated workforce that meets the demands of the 21st century manufacturer (Judy & D’Amico, 1997). Combine these two issues and the result is a steady reduction in qualified candidates for the millions of jobs available in the manufacturing industry. The purpose of this research was to identify if a knowledge gap exists between the manufacturing industry and the …

The Effectiveness Of Instructional Methods Based On Learning Style Preferences Of Agricultural Students: A Research Tool For Continuous Improvement For Faculty In Career And Technical Education (Cte) Programs, Dominick E. Fazarro, Tim Pannkuk, Dwayne Pavelock, Darcy Hubbard

Journal of STEM Teacher Education

This study was conducted to research learning style preferences of agriculture students. Specifically, the objectives which guided the study were: (1) to determine the learning style preferences of undergraduate agricultural students enrolled in a given Soil Science course and (2) to ascertain if there were differences in the students’ course grade average (CGA) in the given Soil Science course when the treatment group were taught according to their learning style preferences versus the control group. For research question two, there was a hypothesis statement to determine if modifying the instructional approach to the students’ learning style preference for the treatment …

Moody Blues: The Social Web, Tagging, And Nontextual Discovery Tools For Music, Susannah Cleveland, Gwen Evans Dec 2008

Moody Blues: The Social Web, Tagging, And Nontextual Discovery Tools For Music, Susannah Cleveland, Gwen Evans

University Libraries Faculty Publications

A common thread in discussions about the Next Generation Catalog is that it should incorporate features beyond the mere textual, one-way presentation of data. At the same time, traditional textual description of music materials often prohibits effective use of the catalog by specialists and nonspecialists alike. Librarians at Bowling Green State University have developed the HueTunes project to explore already established connections between music, color, and emotion, and incorporate those connections into a nontextual discovery tool that could enhance interdisciplinary as well as specialist use of the catalog.

Social-Emotional Resilience In Middle School Girls, Stephanie Evans Powers Dec 2008

Social-Emotional Resilience In Middle School Girls, Stephanie Evans Powers

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

During middle school, many girls experience changes toward a more negative affect and decreases in confidence, optimism, and curiosity (Kline & Short, 1991; Pipher, 1994). The aim of this dissertation is to provide a contextually grounded and multidimensional understanding of social-emotional resiliency in middle school girls as constructed and defined by the students, their teachers, their social reference groups and the researcher (Ungar, 2004). To address the subjective nature of resiliency, qualitative methodology was chosen as the most appropriate approach. Five girls from a middle school in a small, Midwestern town participated in the study. Five teachers who nominated students …

Real Property, Linda S. Finley Dec 2008

Real Property, Linda S. Finley

Mercer Law Review

The survey period proved to be an active one for cases and legislation involving real property. Particularly, the Georgia General Assembly, in apparent reaction to the housing and foreclosure crisis faced by the entire country, enacted consumer-friendly changes to the long-standing foreclosure statute. The courts were also active in review of real property issues, and as the number of cases involving real property issues continues to increase, it becomes more difficult to determine which cases should be contained in this Survey. Nevertheless, this Article discusses caselaw and legislative developments in Georgia real property law from June 1, 2007 through May …
