The document summarizes a 3-month test of APSE TM mosquito control products. Various versions of APSE TM were added to buckets of water at concentrations of 300, 600, and 900 ppm, while untreated control buckets were also used. The buckets were monitored over time to compare larval population levels between treated and untreated buckets. Observations showed that APSE TM products 1 and 2 initially took around 3 weeks to show full effectiveness in controlling larval populations compared to the controls.

REDD+ (Transforming Development for Sustainability)Tomislav Korman
With international concern escalating as a result of population growth, climate change, food price increases and land grabbing, the environmental challenges facing those living in the developing world become ever more complex, multifaceted and immediate. These challenges are encapsulated within the overarching concept of sustainable development. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+) are important elements of the international climate change regime. Global deforestation is estimated to be the source of 20 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions per year. At the same time, some argue that forestry has the highest potential of any sector to provide low-cost greenhouse gas reduction solutions between now and 2030.
The Engeenuity process uses a combination of naturally occurring light, magnetic fields, temperature and other natural elements to inhibit pathogen growth in food and water. It does so in a way that is non-chemical, non-toxic, and requires no artificial power source. Laboratory and industry tests have shown the process extends the shelf-life of bread by 11 days and keeps microbial levels in cooling tower water and milk below acceptable levels for over 46 and 93 days, respectively, after expiration dates. The process is believed to work by disrupting the electromagnetic signals of pathogens using specific magnetic field frequencies, without harming healthy organisms.

This document summarizes research on the declining school-aged population in Michigan and the resulting impact on educational facilities. It finds that Michigan's K-12 population is projected to decrease by 7.6% between 2000-2030, resulting in an estimated excess of 6,000 classrooms statewide. Many school districts will see enrollment drop by 10-50% over this period. Case studies of individual districts show that maintaining unused facilities will be financially challenging. Strategies like consolidation, repurposing buildings, and planned closures will be needed to align school capacity with enrollment and reduce costs. The economic downturn has further accelerated the decline in some areas.

The document discusses the appropriation of publicly-funded research through laws like the Bayh-Dole Act that allow universities to patent research. It argues that this system privatizes knowledge and may restrict dissemination and follow-on innovation. Instead, it advocates for more open innovation models that use open licensing and cyberinfrastructure to maximize knowledge sharing and creativity. Universities should implement policies that balance intellectual property with open access and research exemptions to foster both traditional and user-driven innovation.

The document discusses returns from both traditional and alternative investment strategies. It finds that returns generally do not follow a normal distribution and exhibit negative skewness, fat tails, and short-term persistence. While classical finance theory assumes returns are normally distributed and serially uncorrelated, empirical evidence shows significant deviations from these assumptions. Non-normal properties of returns, including negative skewness and persistence, have important implications for risk measurement and investment strategies.

1. APSE ™ Mosquito Control Testing
December 15, 2010
The purpose of this evaluation was to test the ability of the APSE ™ chemical to control the
production of mosquito larvae in open containers in a natural outdoor setting, conducive to the
reproduction of mosquitos, over a three month period.
Test Procedure:
Twenty grams of micro-organisms and nutrients were added to each bucket of approximately 2
gallons of water being tested. Three (3) control buckets were left untreated for the duration of
the test. Four different versions of APSE ™ were added to buckets at 300, 600 and 900 ppm.
The buckets were then placed outside 15 feet apart from each other, and allowed to sit open in
hopes of attracting mosquitoes to lay eggs. The buckets were monitored, and the treated
buckets were compared to the control buckets.
In this test of the APSE ™ product line, four (4) different versions of the product were tested at
three different dosages to determine its ability to control the production of mosquito larvae
outdoors. The dosages of APSE ™ in this test were 300, 600 and 900 ppm. In each case each
observation was compared to the control buckets. The duration of the test was three (3)
months. A comparative scale was used to evaluate each container during the course of the
testing. This scale ranged from 1 - 7, with 7 representing the largest population of larvae
observed. The following is a pictorial representation of this chart showing examples of each
larvae population.

There did not appear to be a marked difference in the performance of the different versions of
APSE ™ . The overall results were almost identical for each product version and dosage.
Conclusion:
APSE ™ reduced the overall production of mosquito larvae by over 60% when compared to the
controls in this experiment at all dosage ranges and product strengths. The product is
extremely effective in the control of mosquito reproduction. These test results are deemed to
be conclusive and reproducible based on Standard Methods.
