Subject:
learning; educational methods; agricultural education; teachers
Abstract:
... Experiential learning is a time-honored approach that can help to "...seal the bond between the learner and the learned." Such learning encourages the making of meaning from individual and shared experiences and helps abstract concepts to become relevant to the learner. The 20th century educational theorist, John Dewey, articulated a need for a unified "theory of experience" that could guide educa ...

... Premise of the study: Research on the subject of heterostyly is often traced back to 1877 when Charles Darwin published the landmark book The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species. This book synthesized heterostyly research at the time, much of which Darwin conducted, and it continues to be a major contribution to the study of the breeding system. In this book, Darwin discussed ...

Highly-crystalline 2-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) nanosheets with low structural imperfection usually possess high photocatalytic activity that benefits from the suppressed electron–hole recombination. However, the conventional exfoliation strategy is incapable for fast and clean preparation of such highly-quality g-C₃N₄ nanosheets from their bulk-type counterparts. Herein, h ...

Abstract:
... Melons (Cucumis melo) are an important vegetable crop. Melons are grown mostly for their sweet mature fruits, which are eaten fresh, but elongate-fruited forms are grown for their rather bland, juicy, immature fruits, which are eaten fresh, cooked, or pickled like cucumbers. Fruit set of melons is diffuse over time and space, resulting in the need for multiple harvesting of the crop. The "b ...

Abstract:
... Rickettsia-like organisms (RLO) are obligate, often highly fastidious, intracellular bacterial parasites associated with a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Despite their importance as causative agents of severe mortality outbreaks in farmed aquatic species, little is known about their life cycle and their host range. The present work reports the characterization of "Candidatus Cryptop ...

The psyllid Bactericera maculipennis (Crawford) (Hemiptera: Triozidae) often cohabits field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis, Solanales: Convolvulaceae) and other plants with the congeneric psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc), in the Pacific Northwestern United States. Bactericera cockerelli is a vector of “Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum,” the pathogen associated with zebra chip disease of ...

Click Cu(I)-catalyzed polymerizations of diynes that contained ester linkages and diazides were performed to produce polyesters (click polyesters) of large molecular weights [(~1.0-7.0) x 10⁴], that contained main-chain 1,4-disubstitued triazoles in excellent yields. Incorporation of triazole improved the thermal properties and magnified the even-odd effect of the methylene chain length. We also f ...

Two types of new P(NIPAAm-co-HEMA) derivatives with alkyne and azide pendant groups, respectively, were prepared. When the solutions of the two derivatives were mixed together, a crosslinking reaction, a type of Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar azide-alk ...
