describes. Furthermore, after reading this book, teachers will also be better attuned to the tension and conflict between the different stories. Once that conflict is recognized, it can be defined and resolved as part of the pedagogical process. In addition, this book is an excellent resource for anyone who would like to follow Linda Adler-Kassner’s call for the activist WPA because knowing the...

surface is crisscrossed with picket fences made of immobile transmembrane proteins. Until now, single-particle tracking (SPT) has been too slow to provide a high-resolution view of lipid diffusion. In an impressive technical achievement, the authors developed a SPT technique with 25s resolution, and then used it to follow the diffusion of a nonraft lipid in a cell membrane. The lipid molecule w...

Wild life: The elusive fosa (Cryptoprocta ferox) is the top predator in the dry deciduous forests of Madagascar, but very little was known about its biology until the 1990s. The presence of volunteer groups studying its role in the forest’s ecology has also helped to protect its habitat. (Photo: Earthwatch/ Luke Dollar.) The world’s latest national park has just been created in the east of Russ...

reforestation is one of the philippines’ government efforts to restore and rehabilitate degraded mangrove ecosystems. although there is recovery of the ecosystem in terms of vegetation, the recovery of closely-linked faunal species in terms of community structure is still understudied. this research investigates the community structure of mangrove crabs under two different management schemes: p...

BACKGROUND: A limited number of studies have investigated the inclusion of amino acids in calf starter. OBJECTIVES: This study was aimed to evaluate different levels of crude protein in starter and supplement- ing some protected amino acids on efficiency, health status and blood metabolites of dairy calves and to com- pare it with unprotected amino acids. <st...

Abstract: point of view. In this study, a shaking-table was used for concentrating a manganese ore sample from the Ghasem Abadarea in Kerman, Iran. Experiments were designed by using LThe influence of each variable and their interactions on the operation of the device was studied. The variables underinvestigation were: table slope, table frequency, water flowrate, feed rate, and particle size. ...

to preserve wildlife habitats and populations, it is normal practice to select representative natural areas. the aim of this research is prioritization of candidate sites for environmental protection in mazandaran province. for this purpose, 26 forest cover types, habitats of 8 mammal species and important distribution areas for 4 groups of birds were used as input criteria. simulated annealing...
