Apionidae from North and Central America : 6. Description of new species of Apionion Kissinger, Coelocephalapion Wagner and Trichapion Wagner (Coleoptera)
No full textTwo new species of Trichapion Wagner, T. baranowskii and T. santaritae, are described from Madera Canyon, near Tucson, Arizona. Six new species of Coelocephalapion Wagner are described: C. dilox (Mexico), C. goldilox (Costa Rica, Panama), C.johnsoni (Panama) with host Vatairea erythrocarpa Ducke (Fabaceae), C. nirostrum (Mexico), C. tellum (Texas, Mexico), and C. turnbowi (Mexico). Apionion opetion is described from Mexico. A closely similar species, Apionion bettyae (Kissinger), new combination, with probable host plant Lonchocarpus sp. (Fabaceae), is transferred from Trichapion

Metodologia participativa para a construção temática do Atlas Escolar Ambiental do município de Alfredo Wagner,SC
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Ambiental.Esta dissertação apresenta a construção de uma metodologia participativa na construção temática do Atlas Escolar Ambiental. Trata-se de um trabalho de pesquisa-ação realizado com um professor e um grupo de alunos da Escola de Educação Básica Silva Jardim no município de Alfredo Wagner. A prática interdisciplinar e a abordagem sistêmica foram utilizadas como referencial para o desenvolvimento da metodologia participativa. Os procedimentos utilizados foram as reuniões, os trabalhos de campo para coleta de informações e registro fotográfico, entrevistas e visitas aos órgãos públicos. A metodologia participativa, seja com os grupos participantes ou com demais colaboradores voluntários na pesquisa, mostrou-se adequada à elaboração temática do Atlas, imprimindo a este as observações e os significados dos atores que, ao mesmo tempo, possuem a vivência da realidade do município. Os participantes se sentiram valorizados por participarem no grupo, ter vez e voz, fazer críticas e sugestões. O interesse do grupo no trabalho, nas reuniões e trabalhos de campo se fez na construção da contextualização dos temas, apontando os aspectos positivos que visualizam no município e também as situações problemas que merecem ser abordadas. Os trabalhos de campo evidenciaram que após a experiência de (re)conhecer o município, o significado e a importância dos lugares para os participantes são reafirmados, ou seja, reforça a identidade das pessoas com o #lugar#. O Atlas procura sintetizar, de maneira singular, o resultado do processo participativo que se mostrou de maneira ampla nas expressões dos participantes. Desta maneira, pretende-se que a metodologia participativa cristalizada no processo participativo, reflita no recorte temático do Atlas, a realidade e a história do município. This dissertation presents the construction of a participative methodology in the thematic construction of Environmental School Atlas. It is about a work of research-action carried through with a teacher and a group of students from the #Escola de Educação Básica Silva Jardim# in the city of Alfredo Wagner. The interdisciplinary practice and the systemic approach had been used as a referential for the development of the participative methodology. The used procedures were meetings, the field works for the information collection and photographic register, interviews and visits to the public agencies. The participative methodology, either with the participant groups or with other collaborating volunteers in the research, revealed adequate to the thematic elaboration of the Atlas, indicating to this the observation and the meanings of the people who, at the same time, have the experience of the city reality. The participants felt valued of participating in the group, having place and voice, criticizing and making suggestions. The group interest in the work, the meetings and the field works had been made in the construction of the context of the subjects, pointing the positive aspects that visualize in the city and the problematic situations that deserve to be approached. The field works evidenced that after the experience of (re) knowing the city, the meaning and the importance of the places for the participants are reaffirmed, that is, strengthen the identity of the people with the #place#. The Atlas looks for to synthesize, in a singular way, the result of participative process that showed in an ample way in the participant expressions. In this way, it is intended that the crystallized participative methodology in the participative process, reflects in the Atlas thematic clipping, the city reality and history
Affective Influences on Employee Satisfaction and Performance
No full textAffective influences on employee satisfaction and performance David T. Wagner and Remus Ilies Introduction For much of the 20th century, scientific psychology has been dominated by the behaviorist approach formulated and promoted by influential writers such as J.B. Watson, E.L. Thorndike, and B.F. Skinner. Within the behaviorist tradition, unobservable psychological terms such as those describing emotions, moods and feelings were considered unworthy of scientific scrutiny. In the cognitivist paradigm that extended and then replaced behaviorism, again, feelings and emotions were de-emphasized because they were thought to disrupt rationality. In the organizational domain, scholars have formulated cognitive models aimed at explaining job performance, motivation and attitudes

Engineering the Maxwell-Wagner polarization effect
No full textLayered structures, when supporting the Maxwell–Wagner polarization mechanism, exhibit very large effective electric permittivity and thus can be used for miniaturizing purposes. However, the large interfacial dimensions evolved, limit the Maxwell–Wagner polarization at relatively low frequencies. Any element or mechanism that causes a spatial variation of charge density, contributes to the dielectric susceptibility of a medium. Thus, intentionally planted polarization states can be used for further exploiting the Maxwell–Wagner polarization mechanism
Asymptotic Properties of Pseudo Maximum Likelihood Estimates for Multiple Frequency I(1) Processes
No full textIn this paper we derive (weak) consistency and the asymptotic distribution of pseudo maximum likelihood estimates for multiple frequency I(1) processes. By multiple frequency I(1) processes we denote processes with unit roots at arbitrary points on the unit circle with the integration orders corresponding to these unit roots all equal to 1. The parameters corresponding to the cointegrating spaces at the different unit roots are estimated super-consistently and have a mixture of Brownian motions limiting distribution. All other parameters are asymptotically normally distributed and are estimated at the standard square root of T rate. The problem is formulated in the state space framework, using the canonical form and parameterization introduced by Bauer and Wagner (2002b). Therefore the analysis covers vector ARMA processes and is not restricted to autoregressive processes.state space representation; unit roots; cointegration; pseudo maximum likelihood estimation
Wagner Collection
No full textRepository: Booth Family Center for Special Collections. For more information about this collection please email: [email protected] beings with an unidentified speaker introducing participants Paul M. Herzog, Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board and close friend of Senator Robert F. Wagner, and Joseph T. Durkin, S.J., Professor of History at Georgetown University. The two discuss the Wagner Collection and the life and career of Wagner in advance of the formal presentation of the Wagner Collection to Georgetown University by Wagner's son, Robert F. Wagner, Jr. Father Durkin gives a brief description of the physical size of collection as well as the content, which includes correspondence, political cartoons, audio tapes and film. Father Durkin goes on to ask Herzog to share anecdotes and reminiscences of Wagner and the two discuss Wagner's character and approach to work. Herzog makes mention that Wagner greatly enjoyed the political cartoons about him, both the ones praising and criticizing his work. Herzog goes on to say that Wagner was a man of great humanity and one who liked and respected people
