La presente investigación tiene como objetivo general, establecer un programa de formación holística para mejorar el desarrollo las habilidades blandas en los estudiantes nivel bachillerato. Se fundamenta la teoría Jan Smuts (1926), sobre “holismo” y David Goleman (2001), “habilidades blandas” del individuo, sustentadas con sus respectivas dimensiones e indicadores direccionados enseñanza-apren...

Smut of oats, caused by Ustilago avenae, is an important disease in organic seed production and resistance breeding via inoculation elaborate routine oat breeding. The life cycle smuts known to depend on open flowers, for example, spores ssp. need settle inside the flower start a next cycle. Increasing level cleistogamy as way avoid initial infections instead selecting genetic pathogens has pre...

Ballistospore discharge is a feature of 30000 species of mushrooms, basidiomycete yeasts and pathogenic rusts and smuts. The biomechanics of discharge may involve an abrupt change in the center of mass associated with the coalescence of Buller's drop and the spore. However this process occurs so rapidly that the launch of the ballistospore has never been visualized. Here we report ultra high-sp...

taking my elective in an underdeveloped part of the world, but the scene below made me feel wary. An hour after leaving the international section of Jan Smuts Airport, Johannesburg, and 36 hours after leaving Heathrow, I arrived at K D Matanzima Airport, Transkei, which is 15 km outside the capital Umtata. After "scrounging" a lift into town, I managed to secure a two-month study visa from a ne...

___–1 ___ 0 ___ +1 The fundamental conflict of reproductive interests between males and females, originally articulated by Trivers (1972) and Parker (1979), may have diverse evolutionary consequences at multiple levels: genetic, morphological, physiological , social, ecological, life historical (Arnqvist and Rowe 2005; Chapman 2006). This volume addresses one dramatic manifestation of this conf...

Male reproductive success in nonhuman primates has traditionally been measured by access to estrous females, and successful matings/inseminations are attributed either to high-ranking males in multi-male groups or to the one male in a single-male group (e.g., Fedigan, 1983; Smuts, 1987; Dixson et al., 1993; Paul et al., 1993). Paternity exclusion techniques and the testing of potential fathers ...

Volatile organic compounds produced by the fungus Muscodor albus inhibit or kill numerous fungi. The effect of these volatiles was tested on dormant and physiologically active teliospores of the smut fungi Tilletia horrida, Tilletia indica, and Tilletia tritici, which cause kernel smut of rice, Karnal bunt of wheat, and common bunt of wheat, respectively. Reactivated rye grain culture of M. alb...
