Scotland’s new Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) has been widely acknowledged as the most significant educational development in a generation, with the potential to transform learning and teaching in Scottish schools. In common with recent developments elsewhere, CfE seeks to re-engage teachers with processes of curriculum development, to place learning at the heart of the curriculum and to chang...

A class of tunable visible and near-infrared donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) photoswitches were efficiently synthesized in 2 to 4 steps from commercially available starting materials with minimal purification. Using either Meldrum's or barbituric acid "acceptors" in combination with aniline-based "donors" an absorption range spanning from 450 to 750 nm is obtained. Additionally, photoiso...

1. Introduction Traditional Geographic Information Systems (GIS) assume a world that only exists in the present (Peuquet, 1999). By including a temporal component in a GIS we may ask additional types of questions of spatial data that would benefit from visualization for interpretation. For example, we may wish to understand how a particular species utilizes different types of environments durin...

Donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) are a very recent class of organic photoswitches that combine excellent properties, such as color and polarity change, a large structural modification, and excellent fatigue resistance. Despite their potential applications in different fields, very few studies have focused on rationalizing their electronic structure properties. Here, by means of differen...

O estudo buscou identificar e analisar o trabalho de profissionais Educação Física com adultos idosos na promoção da saúde, para além prevenção doenças. Baseada teoria salutogênese, a pesquisa utilizou método qualitativo fundamentada nos dados proposto por Charmaz (2009) campo condensado (STENHOUSE, 1978) em quatro programas públicos saúde. Participaram do Física, três coordenadoras centros saú...

—Most studies on orientation of movements of pond-breeding salamanders have considered only a single local population (or breeding pond) during 1 yr, or multiple populations during a single year. We quantified migratory patterns of Marbled Salamanders at nine breeding ponds during 5 yr in western Massachusetts. Based on captures at drift fences, movements were nonuniform at all breeding ponds. ...
