Improving fruit fly trapping systems in Reunion island
No full textA l'île de la Réunion, les principales espèces de Tephritidae ravageurs des cultures fruitières sont la mouche méditerranéenne des fruits Ceratitis capitata et la mouche du Natal Ceratitis (Pterandus) rosa, la seconde étant de loin la plus importante. Depuis 1983, des tests variés ont été menés dans le but d'améliorer les systèmes de piégeage et de mettre au point un système de contrnle efficace de ces espèces en verger. Les derniers tests entrepris en 1987-88 ont consisté à comparer l'efficacité de 4 paramètres distincts : leurres, insecticides, combinaisons d'attractifs et systèmes de piégeage. Le but était de trouver un système simple et économique afin de remplacer le piège standard "Procida" non valable partout et d'essayer d'augmenter le piégeage des femelles. Par leurs résultats décrits dans ce document, ces essais ont permis d'améliorer de façon notable les systèmes de piégeage actuels des mouches des fruit
Personalised learning: ambiguities in theory and practice
No full textThis paper traces the origins of the concept of personalisation in public sector services, and applies it to school education. The original conceptualisation stressed the need for 'deep' rather than shallow, personalisation, if radical transformation of services were to be achieved. It is argued that as the concept has been disseminated and implemented through policy documents, notably the 2005 White Paper, it has lost its original emphasis on deep personalisation. The focus in this article is particularly upon gifted and talented students whose education provides the best case example of how the theory of personalisation might work in practice. Two examples of the lessons in a sixth form college are used to illustrate the character of personalised pedagogy in practice. The implications for theory and practice are discussed
Directed Acyclic Graph.
No full text<p>Directed Acyclic Graph of model for estimating flesh-footed shearwater population on Lord Howe Island. Rectangles represent derived variables, while ovals represent parameters that are estimated from data with uncertainty. Variables in italics were taken from the literature (see text). Other variables with parameters took vague priors.</p
