...NATIONAL CENTER FOR CASE STUDY TEACHING IN SCIENCE The Case of the Missing Bees: High Fructose Corn Syrup and Colony Collapse Disorder by Jeffri C. Bohlscheid, School of Food Science, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID Frank J. Dinan, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Canisius College, Buffalo, NY Part I – Changes in the Lives of Bees Almond butter is a delicious, upscale alternative to peanut butter and we love it. But its price has increased nearly three-fold over the last two years while that of peanut butter has changed very little. The reason for this is surprising: almonds are much more dependent on honeybees for pollination than are peanuts. The California almond crop, by far the world’s largest, used an unbelievable 40 billion honeybees to pollinate it in 2005 and about a third of that number of bees is no longer available (Benjamin and McCallum, 2009). Since 2007, nearly a third of the honeybees in North America, Europe, and South America have died for unknown reasons. How important is this to our lives? A U.S. Department of Agriculture/Cornell University study estimates that honeybees pollinate nearly a third of everything that we eat (beeculture.com, 2000). If these bees disappear, fruits, vegetables, and nuts will go with them, meat production will severely decline, and we will be in very bad shape, indeed. Two significant changes have occurred in the world of honeybees in the United States since the mid1970s: (1) there has been a steady increase in the...

...unresolved.1 Around the turn of the 20th century, much attention was focused on anatomical correlates of intelligence through detailed necropsy case studies of the brains of outstanding people, such as mathematician Karl F Gauss or physician William Osler.2,3 By 1907, Spitzka4 had published an extensive monograph that summarised 137 case reports of notable men and women such as Bach and Descartes, and also presented one of the first group studies of nine scholars. Weight of the brain and patterns of gyral convolutions were usually examined. This early work had several limitations. First, medical and cognitive status at the time of death were often not known. Second, normal comparison groups were not available, so that the results were mainly idiosyncratic observations. Quantitative measurement was usually limited to the weight of the whole brain, and even its relation to intelligence remained unresolved. For example, novelist Ivan Turgenev’s brain weighed 2012 g,4 whereas the brain of author Anatole France was half the value (1017 g).5 Third, work was based on the assumption that intelligence was a unitary homogeneous ability—even though different people varied greatly in their area of cognitive excellence. (According to current theories of intelligence, there are independent spheres or modules of cognitive ability.6) Last, the studies had no a priori hypotheses as to the relation between structure and psychological function, since there was little knowledge about the cortical...

The organization hinges on rules, procedures and rationality with no aim than making event predictable. Handy (1985, pp. 188-196) also pointed to the fact that there are factors that influences the kind of culture an organization can adopt. Task Culture can be seen as a job or process oriented where problem solving is seen as the major challenge for management and people do not refrain from risks Person Culture: In this case there is no distinction between a manager and employee; management is regarded as something which, unfortunately, needs to be done. The individual is the “central point”. Deal and Kennedy (1982, pp. 108-123) also deduced four cultural types based on two dimensions: a) The degree of risk inherent in an organizational decision...

...Significance of Education ENG 101 December 2, 2012 Significance of education Elementary education focuses on the basic academic learning as well as socialization schools that introduce children to a great deal of knowledge, skill along with behavioral adjustment that they require for a successful life. The education is crucial in laying basic foundation of learning to the young learners while employing different techniques of reading foundation. Inherently, despite the fact that the authority of regulating education lies in the Constitution, there is also notable indirect authority that is exercised through federal funding of national programs, together with block grants. The purpose of education is to provide skills, knowledge and wisdom to prepare our children for their future. Essentially, phonics, blending, as well as letter recognition are some of the basics method of teaching that is offered to the developing learners’, particularly in an elementary school. More important, letter recognition is the first step in reading and mostly it is done during elementary education. Smith (2008) defines phonic as a method of teaching, reading and writing English language through developing learners’ capacity to hear, categorize as well as manipulate phonemes with a reason of teaching correspondence that exist between the sounds and spelling patterns that represent them. Inherently, phonics plays a significant role in assisting the beginning readers to be in a position to...

Kiehl University of New Mexico and Lovelace Biomedical and Environmental Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico Psychopathy research is plagued by an enigma: Psychopaths reliably act immorally, but they also accurately report whether an action is morally wrong. The current study revealed that cooperative suppressor effects and conflicting subsets of personality traits within the construct of psychopathy might help explain this conundrum. Among a sample of adult male offenders (N 100) who ranked deserved punishment of crimes, Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL–R) total scores were not linearly correlated with deserved punishment task performance. However, these null results masked significant opposing associations between task performance and factors of psychopathy: the PCL–R Interpersonal/Affective...
