Making Our Way toward Teacher Education Programs in the Slavic Languages.
No full textReflecting on the state of the field of teacher training in Slavic language programs in the 1990s, the author recommends programs build alliances for teacher training with other programs in the Less Commonly Taught Languages. Beginning teachers should focus on three areas the continuing development of their own language skills, their ability to analyze classroom dynamics and implement changes in them, and expansion of their “pedagogical content knowledge.” Technology may be available to help teachers in all three of these areas

The Archaeology of South Asia from the Indus to Asoka, c.6500, by Robin Coningham and Ruth Young
No full textThe book review evaluates the book The Archaeology of South Asia from the Indus to Asoka, c. 6500 BCE-200 CE by Robin Coningham and Ruth Young. The volume emphasizes the regional diversity of South Asian archaeological cultures and proposes a long historical continuity between the Bronze Age Indus culture (in present-day Pakistan and western India) and the Early Historic cities of the Indian peninsular subcontinent
Donald Comer: New Southerner, New Dealer
No full textDonald Comer became a leader in the cotton manufacturing industry in the 1920s. That decade and the next were a time when both the New South ideology and labor-management relations underwent change. Those years were also watershed years in terms of changes in the political scene. During those years Progressivism changed and the New Deal arrived.As the son of Alabama Governor B. B. Comer, and as the leader of both Avondale Mills and Cowikee Mills, Donald was poised to act on those changes and to help shape both the economic and political side of life in the South. The Barbour County native acted to promote traditional New South goals of industrialism and diversified farming. The prominent Alabama cotton manufacturer also acted as a Progressive and as a New Deal advocate.The interaction of Comer with both the New South philosophy of economic development and the political reforms of both Progressivism and the New Deal are explored. Both the extent of his acceptance and the limits to his belief in both economic and political reform are examined. Specific points investigated include New South issues such as industrialization and diversified farming, Progressive reforms such as education, the use of child labor, night work of women and children, the development of the Tennessee Valley, and Prohibition; New Deal issues of relief and recovery, particularly rural relief, the ending of tenant farming, and the limiting of cotton acreage, and government intervention in the economy and in labor relations.Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 52-01, Section: A, page: 2750.Advisors: Alan Kraut.Ph.D. American University 1990.Englis

Comer a arte
No full textO presente relatório de estágio corresponde à Prática de Ensino Supervisionado, desenvolvida na Escola Secundária Campos Melo, ao longo do ano letivo de 2012/2013, nas disciplinas de Oficina de Artes (12º ano) e de Geometria Descritiva (11º ano), pertencentes ao Curso científico-humanístico de Artes Visuais.
A componente de investigação do presente relatório, intitulada “Comer a Arte”, consiste num levantamento histórico e prático sobre a escultura com frutas e legumes. A - exploração/aquisição dos objetivos, competências e conteúdos -, foi implementada, na prática, no 2º Período na disciplina de Oficina de Artes (OFA), na turma do 12º D, da Escola Secundária de Campos Melo (ESCM), na Covilhã, no corrente ano letivo. É pretendido com este trabalho tornar a prática pedagógica em artes visuais mais vasta, criativa e versátil, abrindo horizontes para uma nova metodologia e técnica utilizando como materiais frutas e legumes diversos.
O que motivou a execução desta investigação foi o fato de atualmente a escultura com frutas e legumes ser considerada uma forma de arte, que maioritariamente é usada para decorações em eventos mas também para demonstração de expressão artística, seja ela na sala de aula ou em concursos. O conhecimento da mesma ocorreu através de um familiar direto da autora deste relatório, que desenvolve esta arte há alguns anos, tendo-lhe dessa forma também despertado o interesse por esta forma de arte.This internship report corresponds to Supervised Teaching Practice, developed in the High
School Campos Melo, through the academic year 2012/2013, in the disciplines of Oficina de
Artes (12th year) and Geometria Descritiva (11th year), that belongs to the course scientifichumanistic of the Visual Arts.
The research, titled "Eat the Art", consists in a historical survey and practical on the sculpture
with fruits and vegetables.
The exploration/acquisition of goals, skills and content has been implemented in the 2nd
Period in the discipline Workshop for the Arts (OFA), the class of the 12th D, Secondary School
of Campos Melo (MCSE), at Covilhã, in the current school year.
This work is intended to make the pedagogical practice in the wider visual arts, creative and
versatile, opening new horizons for the methodology and using technical materials as many
fruits and vegetables.
What motivated the execution of this research was the fact that currently the sculpture with
fruits and vegetables be considered an art form, which is mostly used for decorations at
events but also for demonstration of artistic expression, whether in the classroom or in
contests. The knowledge of it occurred through a direct relative of the author of this report,
which develops this art for a lot of years, arousing the interest of the author for this art form

Parametrization of Peatland Hydraulic Properties for the Canadian Land Surface Scheme
No full textA hydraulic parametrization is developed for peatland environments in the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS). Three wetland soil classes account for the typical variation in the hydraulic characteristics of the uppermost 0.5 m of organic soils. Review of the literature reveals that saturated hydraulic conductivity varies from a median of 1.0 x 10-7 m/s in deeply humified sapric peat to 2.8 x 10-4 m/s in relatively undecomposed fibric peat. Average pore volume fraction ranges from 0.83 to 0.93. Parameters have been designed for the soil moisture characteristic curves for fibric, hemic and sapric peat using the Campbell (1974) equation employed in CLASS, and the van Genuchten (1980) formulation. There is little difference in modelled soil moisture between the two formulations within the range of conditions normally found in peatlands. Validation of modelled water table depth and peat temperature is performed for a fen in northern Québec and a bog in north-central Minnesota. The new parametrization results in a more realistic simulation of these variables in peatlands than the previous version of CLASS, in which unrealistic mineral soil "equivalents" were used for wetland soil climate modelling. (English) ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]; Un paramétrage de nature hydraulique est développé pour des sols organiques du schéma CLASS («Canadian LAnd Surface Scheme»). Trois classes de nouveaux sols de tourbières rendent compte de la variation typique des caractéristiques hydrauliques pour des sols organiques du 0,5 premier mètre. Une revue de la littérature des paramètres hydrauliques révèle que la conductivité hydraulique saturée s'écarte de la médiane de 1,0 x 10-7 m/s pour une tourbe humide saprique profonde jusqu'à 2,8 x 10-4 m/s pour une tourbe fibrique relativement moins décomposée. La porosité moyenne varie de 0,83 à 0,93. Des paramètres ont été développés afin d'obtenir des courbes caractéristiques d'humidité du sol pour la tourbe fibrique, mésique et saprique, en utilisant le schéma de Campbell (1974) et celui de van Genuchten (1980). Aucune différence significative n'a été détectée dans les deux schémas lorsqu'on les utilise dans des conditions normales trouvées dans les tourbes. On a effectué la validation de la modélisation du niveau phréatique et de la température de la tourbe pour une tourbière carex (fen) dans le nord du Québec et une tourbe à sphaigne (bog) dans le centre nord du Minnesota. Le nouveau paramétrage produit une simulation plus réaliste que la version antérieure du schéma CLASS, qui utilisait des paramètres non réalistes du sol minéral pour modéliser le climat du sol humide.
