Tutorials of Visual Graphic Communication Programs for Interior Design
No full textThis book is for the beginning level of both architecture and interior design students who learn computer graphic communication software. The author developed multiple tutorials to teach three computer graphic applications/ AutoCAD/ Revit/ and Enscape. AutoCAD is an essential computer drafting software which is 2D drawing software. Revit is a Building Information Modeling software/ which is 3D based modeling software. Lastly/ Enscape is a real-time rendering/ animation/ and virtual reality plug-in for users\u27 4D experiences.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1825/thumbnail.jp
Women Writing Steel: Fiction, Memoir, and Poetry
Get PDFEconomic centers of northern Appalachia (Johnstown, Pittsburgh, Steubenville, Weirton, Wheeling, and Youngstown) define the Rust Belt because of their historical association with the steel industry. Steelworkers and mills populate the work of regional male authors and poets such as Thomas Bell, Robert Bruno, and Robert Gibb. Their work constitutes a subterranean canon of literature, however, works about the steel industry written by women are overlooked. Women steelworkers and writers such as Harriet Simpson Arnow, Jan Beatty, Margaret Byington, Steffi Domike, Eliese Colette Goldbach, Rebecca HardingDavis, and Eleanor Wymard explore the mills and the life of steelworkers in their works
A new scorpion genus and species from China, \u3cem\u3eQianxie solegladi\u3c/em\u3e gen. et sp.n. (Scorpiones: Pseudochactidae)
Get PDFA new monotypic genus belonging to the basal scorpion family Pseudochactidae Gromov, 1998, Qianxie solegladi gen et. sp. n., is described from Yunnan Province of China. The family is recorded from China for the first time, vastly extending its known geographic range. The new genus shares morphological characters with both Pseudochactas Gromov, 1998 and Troglokhammouanus Lourenço, 2007. It differs from Pseudochactas and is similar to Troglokhammouanus in the shapes of anterior and posterolateral carapace margins, form of the circumocular sutures, distance between median ocelli, development of dorsoventral projection of patella, length of tarsal spinules, recurvature of the lateral margins and concavity of the surface of the sternum. It is similar to Pseudochactas in the degree of carapace granulation, pedipalp manus carination, secondary accessory and retroventral carinae of the chela manus, numbers of lamellae and teeth on the pectines, development of the median lateral carinae of metasomal segments III–IV and ventromedian carina of metasomal segment V. The new genus is hypothesized to be more closely related to Troglokhammouanus than to Pseudochactas and is placed in the subfamily Troglokhammouaninae

Teacher Use and Perceptions of Writing Practices in West Virginia: Policy and Leadership Implications
Get PDFNational standardized test scores indicate West Virginia students perform below the national average in writing achievement, yet little research has been conducted to investigate how writing is being taught. Gaining understanding of the instructional strategies West Virginia teachers use to teach writing may provide insight for educational leaders about how to better support and prepare teachers for the complex task of teaching writing. Identifying challenges and barriers to implementing evidence-based practices may provide areas of focus for school and policy improvements as they relate to writing expectations. This study investigated the practices and perceptions of fourth-grade teachers in West Virginia using a three-part researcher-developed survey. The survey, emailed to all fourth-grade teachers (N= 1,302) in Fall 2021, was composed of demographic questions, questions asking teachers to report frequency of use and perception of effectiveness for 20 evidence-based writing strategies, and a qualitative item asking about the challenges and barriers to implementing the strategies. Results indicated West Virginia fourth-grade teachers provide positive reinforcement as a strategy for writing instruction most frequently and explicitly teach typing least frequently. Overall, statistically significant differences were not found among the demographic variables (class size and years of teaching experience). Responses to the open-ended item indicated fourth-grade teachers face many challenges in delivering evidence-based writing instruction. Teachers reported student abilities and the lack of prior knowledge as the most common barriers to implementing evidence-based writing strategies. The combination of quantitative and qualitative data from this study can guide local educational leaders in better supporting teachers and mitigating barriers teachers face when delivering writing instruction
