Orb Weavers, Neoscona crucifera (Lucas 1839) and Neoscona domiciliorun (Hentz) (Arachnidae: Araneae: Araneidae)
Authors: Edwards, Jr. Glavis B. 
Published: May 2021

Neoscona crucifera (Lucas 1839) and N. domiciliorum (Hentz 1847) are common and conspicuous members of the moist woodland communities in much of Florida. These spiders are beneficial, consuming a variety of insects. Although typically nocturnal throughout most of their life spans, adult females can be found sitting head down in the hubs of their webs during daylight hours of the fall season. Bites from these spiders are not known to cause serious effects to humans.

Tropical Fowl Mite, Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese) (Acari: Macronyssidae)
Authors: Denmark Harold A. , Cromroy Harvey L. 
Published: May 2021

The tropical fowl mite, commonly found on birds, has become a pest to man in areas of high bird populations or where birds are allowed to roost on roofs, around the eaves of homes, and office buildings. Nesting birds are the worst offenders. After the birds abandon their nests, the mites move into the building through windows, doors, and vents and bite the occupants. The bite is irritating to man and some individuals react to the bite with prolonged itching and painful dermatitis. Several to many reports are received each year of mites invading homes. The mites are usually the tropical fowl mite found in the central and southern areas of the state. The northern fowl mite, Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini and Fanzago), a close relative, is also found in Florida.

Papaya Mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink (Insecta: Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)
Authors: Walker Alison , Hoy Marjorie , Meyerdirk Dale 
Published: May 2021

The papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink, is a small hemipteran that attacks several genera of host plants, including economically important tropical fruits and ornamentals. The papaya mealybug was discovered in Manatee and Palm Beach counties in Florida in 1998 and subsequently spread rapidly to several other Florida counties. It potentially poses a multi-million dollar threat to numerous agricultural products in Florida, as well as other states, if not controlled. Biological control was identified as a key component in a management strategy for the papaya mealybug, and a classical biological control program was initiated as a joint effort between the US Department of Agriculture, Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture, and Ministry of Agriculture in the Dominican Republic in 1999.

Authors: Zarrabal-Prieto Alba A. , García-Pérez Eliseo , Ávila-Reséndiz Catarino , Escobedo-Garrido José S. 
Published: May 2021

Objective: To analyze the use of agricultural credit and the profitability of their papaya agroecosystem.
Design/methodology/approach: A survey was applied using a questionnaire to 114 producers in seven municipalities in the central area of Veracruz, Mexico.
Results: 75% of papaya growers do not know about formal sources of credit that support their productive activity. Only 22.8% have used some type of financing, and only 2.6% came from formal credit sources, even though, 97.4% used semi-formal and informal financing options. 77.2 % of growers use their own economic resources for papaya production. This generates a great heterogeneity on production costs and crop management (level of technology) that reflects the final yield. Even under these conditions the crop is profitable.
Limitations of the study/implications: Information from public or private credit institutions, does not reach potential users. The few farmers who have accessed a formal credit, have had bad experiences, such as embargoes and legal actions due to special situations that made them not paying on time, that discourage growers from using this type of credit.
Findings/Conclusions: Lack of knowledge of the growers about financing sources. Low use of agricultural or other formal private credits, as 77.2% of growers used their own economic resources, which generates great heterogeneity in production costs associated with the level of technology, that is reflected in the crop yield, even so the papaya crop still is profitable.

Published: May 2021

Objective: To analyze the importance of local livestock resources facing climate change.
Methodology: A review of studies referenced in scientific databases disclosed in the livestock sector and animal genetic resources was made within the context of climate change.
Results: Livestock breeding is an economic activity that contributes to the food security of the country; in view of its importance, technologies and necessary changes to perform this according to the accelerated changes that occur in the environment, brought by human activity, should be implemented.
Implications: Using highly productive races that depend on external inputs and are not adapted to face the effects of climate change, make it a priority to appraise the use of local races that contribute to production under adverse conditions that prevail in warm weathers in the inter-tropical zone.
Conclusions: Adapted local race breeders should preserve local animal genetic resources so that they perform as a climate change adaptation alternative that will have repercussions on livestock production systems.

Conquistar melhores resultados na educação do Estado do Rio de Janeiro é uma decisão que exige esforço e dedicação de todos, pais e alunos, professores, funcionários e gestores. Por isso, as ações propostas e definidas em conjunto pela comunidade escolar serão implementadas visando a permanência dos alunos na escola, a melhoria da aprendizagem e, consequentemente, a melhoria dos resultados nas avaliações externas estaduais e federais. Os membros da comunidade escolar do CIEP 358 reconhecem o valor da escola pública e sua responsabilidade com a transformação da realidade de nossos alunos e da sociedade em que vivem. Nesta perspectiva surgiu a proposta do Projeto Multidisciplinar CIEP 358: espaço de autonomia e transformação, visando oferecer oportunidades de crescimento e autonomia aos alunos, seguindo o princípio de Aprender a Aprender. A escola deve ser ambiente de aprendizagem e não deve estar limitada à sala de aula. Com a implementação deste projeto a escola ampliará a utilização das ferramentas das tecnologias da informação e comunicação ultrapassando os muros da escola e aproximando-se de seus alunos e atendendo a diferentes áreas do conhecimento e disciplinas. Melhorar a qualidade dos serviços oferecidos é a meta de todos e será fruto de um trabalho em conjunto. Assim, toda a equipe escolar estará envolvida no projeto, e este atenderá à totalidade das turmas e turnos, na medida em que haverá a Socialização de ferramentas e oportunidades para todos, gerando autonomia e transformação. Para a realização deste projeto, o valor solicitado ao edital será de R$75.891,20, destinados à compra de alguns equipamentos para 8 salas de aulas e sala de informática, além da realização de alguns reparos; assim como para despesas correntes, material de consumo e serviços capacitação de profissionais da escola. O empreendimento, submetido ao Programa de Melhoria da Aprendizagem nas Escolas, da Fundação Novo Brasil – Educação para o Futuro, do qual esperamos o apoio financeiro, é de baixo custo, contudo tem alta perspectiva de sucesso, principalmente pelo esforço e dedicação das equipes discente, docente, pedagógica, administrativa e gestora, como apresentaremos nos próximos capítulos.

Outsourcing induced by strategic competition
Authors: Chen Yutian , Dubey Pradeep , Sen Debapriya 
Published: May 2021

<p>We show that intermediate goods can be sourced to firms on the “outside” (that do not compete in the final product market), even when there are no economies of scale or cost advantages for these firms. What drives the phenomenon is that “inside” firms, by accepting such orders, incur the disadvantage of becoming Stackelberg followers in the ensuing competition to sell the final product. Thus they have incentive to quote high provider prices to ward off future competitors, driving the latter to source outside. </p>
An Investigation of Backscatter Power Spectra from Cells, Cell Pellets and Microspheres

Published: May 2021

<p> It has been previously shown that high frequency ultrasound (20 - 100 MHz) can be used to detect cellular structure changes in tissues and cell ensembles. However, the changes seen in the backscattered ultrasound intensity and frequency spectrum are not fully understood. In this paper we attempt to better understand the nature of these changes by examination of the backscatter power spectra from cell ensembles (in pellet form) that have undergone two different types of cell death: by exposure to the chemotherapeutic cisplatin and by withdrawal of nutrients (decay). Three different ultrasound transducers were used, centered at 20MHz and 40MHz. In both death pathways, an increase of the midband fit of 10-12dB was measured, and there were significant changes in the spectral slopes. Furthermore, our initial analysis of the backscatter from single cells and polystyrene microspheres demonstrates the potential of the technique to assess scatterer size. </p>
Extreme Dependence in International Stock Markets

Published: May 2021

<p>This paper investigates the structure and degree of extreme dependence in international equity markets using carefully selected tools from the theory of copulas. We examine both the static and dynamic dependence via unconditional and conditional copulas. We Önd signiÖcant asymmetric tail dependence in equity markets, with the overall larger lower tail dependence than upper tail dependence. Moreover, in Europe and East Asia but not in North America, the extreme dependence is time-varying in both its structure and degree. Our results also indicate a higher intra-continental than inter-continental tail dependence. Our Öndings have important implications in global risk management strategies. </p>
Can Assembly Performance and Work Environment be Jointly Optimized? An Example Discreet Event Simulation Study
Authors: Neumann Patrick , Medbo P 
Published: May 2021

<p>We demonstrate here how discreet event simulation can be used to integrating ergonomics into design processes. In this case we test the effect of two different ways of organizing work within a conventional production line layout. We pay special attention to the sensitivity of the system to human factors such as work autonomy and reduced work pace. Results indicate the general superiority of a ‘dual-cell’ over a ‘chase-the-rabbit’ organization in accommodating human variability. The study shows how human considerations can be tested in the design process using flow simulation.</p>
