Autism is a neurological disorder characterized by difficulties in communication and social interaction, as well as restrictive or repetitive behaviors. While the causes are uncertain, genetics and environment likely play a role. Signs include lack of eye contact, difficulties with empathy and social cues, and repetitive behaviors like hand flapping or spinning. Diagnosis involves checking for lack of skills like words, social responsiveness, and play. Treatments include behavioral therapy and medication for related symptoms, with the goal of early detection and intervention. The document discusses implementing strategies from a paper on promoting engagement and communication for students with autism in inclusive classrooms.
George Wurtz outlines his philosophy of teaching exceptional students in regular classrooms. He discusses how his previous philosophy focused on logical and efficient approaches, but he found lack of success teaching. His SPED 445 class opened his eyes to diverse learning styles and needs of exceptional students. His new philosophy incorporates tools like backward planning and universal design. He pledges to listen more, ask higher-order questions, and be open to all students' abilities rather than prejudging them. His goal is for all students to learn using appropriate strategies.
George Wurtz reflects on his experiences with reading and writing from childhood through adulthood. He learned to read in Catholic grade school with an emphasis on order and correctness. In high school, he began to slack off on reading assignments. After dropping out of community college, he rediscovered the joy of reading through photography books and magazines. He went on to earn degrees in television production and worked in cable television for 17 years, writing scripts and reports. Now in graduate school to become a teacher, he finds writing challenging but hopes to continue improving his skills.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
Save Our Pollinators
1. In an effort to “Save Our Pollinators” and increase awareness of the current plight of
honeybees I would like to propose the following plan of action:
1. Purchase this kit (Standard Hive) unassembled from Pigeon Mountain Trading for
approximately $100 shipping included.
I’d then price out the lumber and create “do it yourself” kits or I’d provide printed directions for
bee hive making projects such as these:
“Honey Cow” “The Tire Beehive”
SAVE
OUR
POLLINATORS
2. 2. Next I’d create a PowerPoint presentation explaining the “Save the Pollinators” program
and put it on Slideshare. I’d then contact these local bee removal companies and partner
with them in the hopes that they would keep a list of the people interested in receiving bee
swarms for their homemade “bee ready” hives.
Hawaii Bee Removal
Bee Removal Specialist
The Bee Man
3. I’d then contact the following agencies to partner with them to get the word out and create
community involvement and awareness of the current plight of the honeybee:
RELEVANT AGENCY SITES
The Hawai’i Food Policy Council
Hawaii Department of Agriculture
University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources
Hawaii Agriculture Research Center
Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation
The Hawaii State 4 - H Club
4. Next I would create a compact mobile presentation containing an assembled beehive, a
computer with PowerPoint, and relevant literature and handouts to be set up at local
Farmer’s Markets.
5. And finally, I’d contact the local Middle and High Schools that have agriculture classes or
departments, and ask if I could give a presentation to their students. I would encourage
them to purchase a beehive package and to create and implement the raising of bees as a
class project in order to propagate & increase the numbers of bees around the island.
