A total of 25 aphid species were collected from 49 ornamental plant species in São Carlos-São Paulo, Brazil; 12 aphids were monophagous, four oligophagous and nine polyphagous. A total of 58 aphid-plant associations are recorded, 43 unknown from Brazil. Eucarazzia elegans (Ferrari, 1872) (Aphididae: Aphidinae: Macrosiphini) is recorded for the first time from Brazil, and Nectandra megapotamica ...

A discussion of the agronomic theory of placing plant nutrients in the root zone of ornamental trees and plants by high pressure hydraulic injection. Definite beneficial effects of deep root injection feeding by high pressure in jection of plant nutrients have been observed in tree and ornamental plant installation and main tenance. The response outperformed conventional surface applications of...

Values education through art is an activity that specifically aims to instill certain values, such as religious moral and aesthetic values in the form of learning appreciate create art. In its application formal schools, planting local cultural can be done explicitly by providing interesting fun media for appreciation students. One them kwementara, a quartet card containing ornaments archipelag...

[Purpose] The purpose of the study was to investigate the postural control and cognitive performance of older adults when stepping backward with and without a concurrent cognitive task. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty young adults and twenty-eight older adults (mean age=21.3 ± 1.2 and 72.2 ± 5.7 years, respectively) were recruited. Participants were asked to step backward and then maintain a sing...

This paper evaluates the role of collaborative learning in an Asian educational institution. The paper begins with a description of the current education landscape, particularly on learners of today which exhibit 21 century learning skills. The concept of collaborative learning is next described with an emphasis on Johnson and Johnson five key elements of collaborative learning. A research stud...

Marriages consist of shared experiences and interactions between husbands and wives that may lead to different impressions of the quality of the relationship. Few studies, unfortunately, have tested gender differences in the structure of marital quality, and even fewer studies have evaluated whether genetic and environmental influences on marital quality differ across gender. In this study, we ...

This research advances computational cognitive modeling of visual search, and the synergistic relationship between cognitive modeling and eye tracking. The research examines cognitive models of the perceptual, cognitive, and motor processing involved in the visual search of a hierarchical layout. Two types of visual layouts are searched: unlabeled layouts in which words are arranged in groups b...

From the in-beam tests of the PADI1 prototype [1] we have recognized that the minimization of the crosstalk between channels has a priority for further developments. In the upcoming design we have changed the biasing type from voltage biasing to current biasing. The bias block used in PADI2-3 ASIC is a constant-transconductance bias circuit having a wide swing cascode current mirrors similar to...
