Classroom Tour-Word Walls, Science Wall, Writing Wall, Centers
This classroom environment is designed to celebrate student learning and to support their growth as independent, action-oriented thinkers. Routines are established to assist students in their work, and artifacts are posted around the classroom to provide visual reminders of student learning and goals for next steps. Students are involved in reflective self-assessment and in monitoring their own progress as well as in learning about themselves as learners. Learning statio

Carnegie Observatories' Wendy Freedman On Hubble and Size of Universe
This spring, Director of the Carnegie Observatories Wendy Freedman spoke at the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium about astronomer Edwin Hubble's discovery of the galaxies and the expansion of the universe, how astronomers measure vast distances, and how the Hubble Space Telescope is used to measure the size and age of the universe. Mike Shara, curator in the Department of Astrophysics, sat down with Freedman for an interview in the Hayden Planetarium to discuss the expansi

Leading@Google: Joseph Grenny
Joseph Grenny spoke to Googlers in Mountain View on April 14, 2011 about the book he co-authored: Change Anything: The New Science of Personal Success.
About Change Anything:
"A stunning new approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on.
For example, why is it th

Authors@Google present Dean Karlan and Jacob Appel: "More Than Good Intentions: How a New Economics Is Helping to Solve Global Poverty."
In their new book, Dean Karlan and Jacob Appel discuss how to solve one of the most important questions in aid economics: how do you figure out where to spend your dollars in order to get the best results? Too often aid money is allocated by hope, by guesswork, or [in the worst cases] by corruption. How can donors tell if their money is doing as much good as

Nassim Taleb on Living with Black Swans
Nassim Taleb is a literary essayist, hedge fund manager, derivatives trader and professor of risk engineering at The Polytechnic Institute of New York University. But he is best known these days as the author of The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. During a recent visit to Wharton as part of The Goldstone Forum, he spoke with Wharton finance professor Richard Herring -- who taught Taleb when he was a Wharton MBA student -- about events in the Middle East, the oil supply, investin
25 Feb 2011: Emerging Disciplines Symposium II

Mexico City-bound API students, July 1946
Photograph of four Alabama Polytechnic Institute students with an old car, holding a sign stating ""Mexico City or bust"". This photograph appeared in the 1947 Glomerata (yearbook) Sophomore Class pages with the caption ""Future Traveling Salesman, That Is"" but the students (and the car) are not identified.

Light and electron microscope studies of host-parasite relations in a mycoparasite
Light microscope studies of the mycoparasite Piptocephalis
virginiana revealed that the cylindrical spores of the
parasite became spherical upon germination and produced 1-4
germ tubes. Generally t"l.vO germ tubes were produced by each
spore. When this parasite was inoculated on its potential
hosts, Choanephora cucurbitarum and Phascolomyces articulosus,
the germ tube nearest to the host hypha continued to grow and
made contact with the host hypha. The tip of the parasite's
germ tube became swol
Is there a difference in artistic ability between learning -disabled students and "regular-class" st
Research and practice regarding LO students usually has
focussed upon defining and supplementing deficiencies rather than
seeking unique talents and capability patterns for learning and
expression. This study examined nine dimensions that may
constitute artistic or creative talent and compared LDs with
"regular-class" students, pair-wise and as groups, for levels and
distributions of the dimensions. For 14 LO and 9 "regular-class"
elementary-school subjects, both genders, data were taken by

Analyses, persistence an degradation of the synthetic pyrethroid insecticides permethrin and fenvale
Studies on persistence and degradation of the synthetic pyrethroid
insecticides, permethrin and fenvalerate, were carried out under natural
environmental conditions of the Niagara Peninsula. Permethrin and
fenvalerate were treated on apple foliage atrat~s of 0.21 kg(AI)!ha
and 0.14 kg(AI)/ha, respectively. The initial cis- and trans-permethrin
spray deposits were found to be 13.5 ppm and 19.2 ppm, respectively and
38.0 ppm was observed for the fenvalerate treated sample. Twenty-three
