Emerald Ash Borer Homeowner Management OptionsFairfax County
This document provides information on identifying and managing ash trees threatened by the invasive emerald ash borer beetle. It describes ash tree characteristics, signs of emerald ash borer infestation, and symptoms in ash trees. Options for managing ash trees include removing unsafe trees, replacing removed trees, or treating remaining healthy trees with pesticides. Treating trees is more cost effective over time compared to full removal and replacement of ash trees. Homeowners and professionals have options for pesticide treatment of ash trees to protect against emerald ash borer. Proper identification and ongoing management can help preserve valuable ash trees.
Emerald Ash Borer Ash Tree Removal and ReplacementFairfax County
This document addresses common questions about removing ash trees and hiring tree care companies. It recommends cutting down ash trees that have died or become brittle as they pose a hazard by dropping limbs. Removed ash wood can generally be disposed of locally but should not be transported to other states with quarantines. Most tree removals on private property do not require county permission, except in protected areas. When hiring an arborist, check that they are certified and insured, get multiple quotes in writing, and inspect contracts carefully. Native tree species should replace removed ash trees to promote diversity.

This document discusses the theory of behaviorism in education. It describes the key proponents of behaviorism including Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, John Watson, and B.F. Skinner. Pavlov studied classical conditioning through his experiments with dogs. Thorndike proposed the law of effect and connectionism, believing learning occurs through stimulus-response associations that are strengthened by rewards. Watson conducted experiments on conditioning emotional responses. Skinner expanded on operant conditioning, believing that learning is based on changes in behavior from responses to environmental stimuli and reinforcement. The document provides examples of reinforcement and non-reinforcement in behaviorism theory.

Given the relatively small budget shortfalls projected by IBO for 2017-2019 and the sizable reserves contained in the Mayor’s financial plan—including general reserves of $1 billion annually and $2.6 billion in the Retiree Health Benefits Trust—the city’s fiscal outlook remains solid. But this outlook presumes no economic downturn through 2019. If that forecast holds the city will have gone an unprecedented 10 years without a recession.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
