Genetic analysis of zea mays genotypes forCarlos Rios
Este articulo es de un grupo de investigadores que realizan mejoramiento genético en la Universidad de Agricultura de Faisalabad en Pakistán, donde evaluaron cultivos de maíz en cuanto el rendimiento que proporcionan como alimento forrajero.
Nos cuentan que la producción de maíz en Pakistán es inferior comparado con otros países que cultivan maíz obteniendo en promedio 3940 kg/ha. Se evaluaron distintos genotipos los cuales fueron seleccionados por sus características morfológicas, fisiológicas y agronómicas.
Se evaluaron 80 genotipos de maíz en un diseño de bloques completos al azar con tres repeticiones. De estos 80 se seleccionaron 12 genotipos con los mejores rendimientos en base al mayor rendimiento de forraje verde, peso de la hoja, área de la hoja, peso del tallo, relación tallo/hoja, tasa fotosintética, contenido de clorofila, uso eficiente del agua y temperatura de la hoja, realizando cruzas de 6 × 6. Posteriormente se realizaron correlaciones entre el genotipo y las características fenotípicas encontrando correlaciones significativas entre los altos contenidos de clorofila, hojas por planta, peso de la planta, peso del tallo, rendimiento de forraje verde, área de la hoja y la tasa de respiración. Encontrando que los genotipos de cultivos que presentan alto rendimiento de forraje pueden ser útiles para seleccionar cultivos que mejoren el rendimiento de la productividad.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Editor's Notes
My name is Shea Dunn I am an English teacher and future school library media specialist I will be sharing what I believe to be the 10 best uses of the internet and tools that teachers can integrate into their classrooms
Internet research allows students much more access then they would have if they were depending solely on the resources housed in the school One tool for Tennessee residents is the Tennessee Electronic Library It gives students access to a collection of online databases Students have access to journal articles, newspaper articles, and other resources including World Book Online.
Collaboration is another use of the internet. Teaching students to collaborate online is a very important workplace readiness skill, and it also helps keep students organized during group projects because they all have their materials in one place. One wiki tool that I like is PBWorks. PBWorks does have a classroom option where the teacher can register students without email addresses. The students can add and edit text and the teacher can see who contributes what. The picture is a screen shot of a wiki using this tool.
Creative Publishing and Presenting is another use of the internet. Asking students to demonstrate their learning by creating multimedia products keeps them engaged and stretches their skills. It is a good alternative to the traditional essay which is important but not the only product that students should be asked to create. Using multimedia effectively is a skill that students will probably need for their future classes and careers. One tool that I like to use is Animoto. Animoto allows students to create videos combining images, audio, and text. I have included a link to a sample video from the Animoto website. Animoto does have an educator account option.
I couldn't choose just one publishing and presenting tool. I also wanted to discuss Prezi. Prezi goes beyond traditional multimedia slide show software by using non-linear sequencing, zooming, and frames. It is a little more challenging to use, but the results are worth it. The students can really be creative when making a presentation on Prezi.
Social networking is a very important part of students life, and as educators we want to tap into that. Unfortunately, many of the social networks that students use at home are not secure enough for school purposes.That's where edmodo comes in. It allows the teacher to set up a safe space for students to share video, pictures, audio, and events with each other. Teachers can also share with the students and with other teachers. Parents can also be a part of the class edmodo.
Integrating multimedia into lessons is an important part of lesson design because it helps add variety, keep the students engaged, and learn the material better. A resource for multimedia that I like to use is Discovery education streaming. This is a good place to get educational images and video clips. They provide full length videos, but I prefer to use the shorter video clips that they provide. This is a subscription service.
While students in K12 classrooms might not be to the point where they are taking class notes on laptops, notetaking is a part of online research and assignments, so it is good to have an online notetaking application. Many of my students have a hard time keeping up with papers, so having everything online helps them to stay organized. Evernote is an online notetaking application where you can take notes categorize them, and search for them later. Evernote also allows you to take a picture of text, save it to evernote, and search for it as well. The screen shot is of my evernote account so you can see the layout.
Online assessments can be a good change of pace for students, and it is beneficial because it gives them instant feedback rather than having to wait on the teacher to grade the test. Hot Potatoes is a program that allows you to create an assessment for your students with custom questions, answers, and feedback.
As 21 st Century teachers, there is no need for us to be chained to our textbook. The internet is a great place for teachers to get creative and student-centered lesson plans. One resource for lesson plans is Thinkfinity. Thinkfinity allows you to search for lesson plans based on subject, grade level, and standard.
Another way to break away from the textbook is to use the internet to provide students with supplementary readings that will be more interesting to them. I like to use the Tween Tribune and Teen Tribune because it provides relevant and accessible news stories for the students and allows them to post teacher moderated comments to stories. This teaches the students how to appropriately use an online news site which is a real world skill.
My final use for the internet is WebQuests. WebQuests combine a real world task with collaboration and guided internet research, and if it is done well, it can be a really powerful educational experience for the student. Zunal is a free WebQuest library and creation tool. You can search for user created webquests or create your own using their templates.
