Quiz is one of the media used to measure students' abilities. Traditional quizzes sometimes require a lot money because teacher must print and photocopy questions that will be distributed students. After finishing working on answer sheets, students submit their teacher. And still check, assess, announce results quiz at next meeting. But teachers often don't have time discuss been held, so canno...

As a reaction to the continued dwindling of tropical forest resources, many research and development organizations have turned to the idea of natural forest management in the hope of making tropical forest lands more profitable while maintaining biodiversity. Assertions of sustainability in logging practices have been inadequately supported, however. We begin with a review of the present knowle...

Poovamma faces another day without paid work. Normally, at this time of year she would be working in the lower valley weeding coffee plantations, but that employment has dried up since the crash in global coffee prices. Years ago, she might have gathered medicinal herbs and green manure in the surrounding forests, but available forest areas are becoming scarce, and park rangers restrict those a...

22 Incidence of double discharges (DDs, >100Hz) and short interspike intervals (ISIs, >50Hz 23 <100Hz) is reported to vary widely among different muscles and tasks, with a higher incidence 24 in motor unit (MU) trains of fast muscles and for the production of fast contractions in humans. 25 However, it is unclear whether human muscles with a large composition of slower motor units 26 exhibit DD...

A new formalism is presented for describing valence fluctuating Tm impurities. Starting from the selfconsistent perturbation scheme valid at arbitrary temperatures, the present formalism incorporates not only the valence fluctuation between 4f12and 4f13, but also the coupled 4f13 and a conduction electron scattering channel through Tmatrix, the latter yielding a singlet ground state at low temp...

EXTENDED ABSTRACT Although increasing attention has been given to ethical consumption (Devinney, et al 2006; McDonald et al. 2006; Shaw et al. 2005; Szmigin and Carrigan 2005), less is known as to how such decisions are thought through. It is clear that ethical considerations are entering consumer purchase decisions but there is still a ‘disconnect between the issues consumers claim to care abo...

The spinal motoneurons innervating a limb muscle are heterogeneous: they vary in diameter of cell bodies, axons and surface area of the dendritic trees, electrophysiological differences (e.g., input resistance, afterhyperpolarization, spike threshold) and contractile properties of the associated muscle units. Considering the range of motoneuron and corresponding muscle unit properties, the obvi...

Forest loss and fragmentation drive widespread declines in biodiversity. However, hummingbirds seem to exhibit relative resilience disturbance, characterized by increasing abundance alongside declining species richness evenness. Yet, how this pattern may be, the mechanisms which it occur, remain unclear. To fill knowledge gap, we investigated habitat- site-level patterns of diversity, community...

Can e-learning actually provide a level playing field for developing countries in the area of education? So far, it has not, but the obstacles are perhaps diminishing. 1. E-LEARNING FOR THE DEVELOPING WORLD 1.1 EDUCATION AS ANTIDOTE TO POVERTY “Education is the only antidote to poverty” – A.R. Bawa, Dep Minister Education, Ghana (Bawa, 2003). While cheap, universally available education is desi...
