O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar, pela geoquímica fluvial, as taxas de intemperismo químico e remoção do solo na Formação Rio Claro, usando como área de estudo a bacia do Ribeirão Cachoeirinha, Rio Claro (SP). No exutório desta bacia hidrográfica foram analisados os seguintes parâmetros: vazão, sólidos totais dissolvidos (STD), sólidos totais em suspensão (STS), temperatura, pH, condutividade elétrica e oxigênio dissolvido. Os resultados revelaram um fluxo anual de cátions e ânions de 114,3 t a-1 e uma taxa de intemperismo dos minerais silicáticos da Formação Rio Claro de 0,7 m Ma-1, indicando uma baixa taxa de intemperismo químico destas rochas em relação a outros tipos de rochas (carbonatos, basaltos, granitos, xistos, gnaisses e alcalinas). No que tange a remoção de solos, obteve-se o valor de 169,8 t a-1, com uma taxa de 9,6 m Ma-1, sendo tais valores coerentes com os resultados obtidos em estudos realizados na região sudeste do Brasil. Deste modo, nas condições climáticas atuais ocorre o predomínio de remoção de solo em relação à sua formação, ou seja, há balanço positivo de denudação.

<p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-US">With the entry into operation of the Sentinel-2 mission in June 2015, a new land monitoring costellation of twin satellites has been added to Copernicus project from ESA and new insights have been derived through the combination of Sentinel-2 data with other optical/multispectral data, and with other data from satellites belonging to the same Copernicus project. To this end, the objective of this paper has been to present new added-value tools first through the integration of different satellite platforms: data from NASA Landsat-8 and ESA Sentinel-1 have been used and combined, and furthermore through the comparison of satellite data all from the same Copernicus project: data from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 have been jointly processed and compared. Although data from optical/multispectral sensors, as those of Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2, and data from SAR on board of Sentinel-1, are very different, their combination provides useful and interesting results. The integration and combination of these data can find useful application in many fields from oceans to waterways, from land surfaces to fossil deposits, from vegetation to forest areas. In this works authors have focused their interest in green areas and vegetation monitoring applications, by choosing as case of interest the Royal Palace of Caserta and its gardens. The idea has started from the increasing interest in monitoring the cultural heritage monuments and in particular the surrounding vegetation with the green areas and the parks inside. Satellite images can put into evidence boundaries modifications, the vegetation state, their possible degradation, and other phenomena such as changes in the territories due both to natural and to anthropogenic causes. Data combination from different sources as above specified gives a good number of indexes very useful to analyze the vegetation state and its health in a very deep way. Many of these indexes have been calculated and discussed for investigation.</span></p>

<p class="normal">The main objective of this paper is to analyse the potential as well as the limitations of an action camera (GoPro Hero 3 Black) in photogrammetric application for architectural cultural heritage reconstruction. The investigations were carried out in a site of notable historical interest, “Villa Giulia Felice” in Pompeii, Italy. In order to estimate the work pipeline, the time-consuming processing and the output product accuracy using fisheye camera images, three commercial image processing software packages were tested: Agisoft PhotoScan, Pix4Dmapper and 3DF Zephyr Aerial. Several comparisons among the final 3D models produced have been developed and the results achieved. Despite the problems found related to lens distortion and the small distance from the camera to the object (average distance ~80 cm), the test has provided good results in terms of accuracy (average error 2 - 3.5 cm) and reliability.</p>

Published: September 2016

The convenience and flexibility of online learning clearly make it an attractive option for learners in professional development contexts. There is less clarity, however, about how it fares as a vehicle for enabling the applied, practice-oriented outcomes typically associated with professional development learning.This paper presents a case study describing how transfer-of-learning strategies were employed in a continuing professional education (CPE) course developed for practicing pharmacists, called ADAPT (ADapting pharmacists’ skills and Approaches to maximize Patients’ drug Therapy effectiveness).To gain insight into the extent to which learning was transferred to practice as a result of participation in the course, qualitative data were collected over a 12-month period from participants of the 2010 pilot offering of ADAPT. Participants reported making changes to their practice as a result of participating in the course, and they identi- fied three course features as being particu- larly useful in facilitating practice transfer: providing learners with (i) a vision of targeted outcomes and skills, (ii) support to enable them to attain targeted outcomes and skills, and (iii) explicit preparation for action.

Published: September 2016

Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario, is currently the only post- secondary institution in that province to offer a part-time Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BScN) program for Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) through a blended learning model. This program represents a “bridge” from the nurse’s college diploma and offers a curriculum that enables students to continue to practice nursing as they study. Since the program’s inception in 2010, over 500 students have been admitted, attesting to its need. Flexibility, access, partnership, and excellence in teaching and learning comprise the heart of this complex, innovative, and student-centred program. As a blended learning program, it uses synchronous and asynchronous online technologies to deliver theoretical content; these experiences are balanced with face-to-face learning in the clinical setting. Clinical learning is facilitated through partnership agreements with the students’ employers.This paper describes how this RPN to BScN blended learning program has brought Nipissing to a leading edge in continuing education for RPNs. It also demonstrates Nipissing University’s commitment to drive change in the world of professional and adult education.
The Use of Scaffolding and Interactive Learning Strategies in Online Courses for Working Nurses: Implications for Adult and Online Education
Authors: Salyers Vince , Carter Lorraine , Cairns Steve , Durrer Luke 
Published: September 2016

This paper reviews the foundational litera- ture of contemporary e-learning, with a focus on scaffolding, instructional design, and engagement. These concepts are then considered in two limited case studies, each involving e-learning and adult learners—in particular, nurse-learners. The first case study describes the use of a scaffolding model called Introduction, Connect, Apply, Reflect, and Extend (ICARE) in e-learning for nursing education. The second is a reflection on the use of engagement strategies for the purposes of discourse and learning in a different online nursing context.Because nursing educators were among the early adopters of e-learning, they are important mentors to others who are adopting e-learning strategies at this time. Additionally, the paper is a crossroads publication: it reminds the reader of the imperative to review theory and emerging evidence related to e-learning and to bring key findings to the actual practice of e-learning in order to benefit the adult student. This commitment to theory and practice will enable the evolution of e-learning for all learners, including returning adult learners and working professionals.Keywords: scaffolding, instructional design, interaction, best practices, engage- ment, adult education, working profes- sionals, e-learning.
Drawing Partners Together: A Report on the Practice of Responding to Partnership Requests for Community and University Arts Collaboration
Authors: Mason Stephanie 
Published: September 2016

NSCAD University is a visual arts university in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, that houses the NSCAD-TD Centre for Community Service Learning (the Centre). The Centre’s purpose is to manage and promote community part- nership requests with the institution.While community service learning and community– university partnership approaches necessarily inform the Centre’s operation, these need to be modified to reflect NSCAD’s unique position in art and design education. Each partnership request is assigned to one of three partner- ship categories, based on distinct criteria that account for NSCAD’s mission, the duration of the partnership, the level of NSCAD involve- ment, and the support capacity of the Centre.Using these criteria, partnerships are addressed in a consistent, sustainable manner that main- tains collaboration and affords room to grow more sophisticated partnership arrangements. The Centre allows prospective partners to access NSCAD’s extraordinary creativity and skilled artists, leading to receptive partnerships that benefit a range of communities.

Published: September 2016

Cereal yields tend to be higher in cereal–legume rotations relative to cereal monoculture yields. We investigated the influence of crop rotation on yield and input‐use efficiency in high‐yield irrigated maize (Zea mays L.)‐based cropping systems using producer‐reported data from western U.S. Corn Belt (about 11,000 observations). Across regions, average yield of maize grown after soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] (S–M) was 0.2 to 0.6 Mg ha−1 (2–5%) higher, relative to yield of maize grown after maize (M–M). Soybean yield was 5% greater after two consecutive maize crops (M–M–S) than after only 1 yr of maize (S–M–S). Nitrogen fertilizer rate in maize fields was 13 kg N ha−1 (6%) lower in S–M than M–M fields, which, together with higher maize yields in S–M fields, resulted in 11% higher nitrogen partial factor productivity (PFPN). Difference in PFPN was unrelated with residual soil N–NO3− from prior crop. Analysis of rotation data indicated that rotation effect persists across a wide range of maize yields, from 6 to 15 Mg ha−1, though magnitude of rotation effect decreases with increasing yield level. Trends toward greater proportion of total maize area in S–M, rather than M–M, accounts for 8% of maize yield gain in U.S. Corn Belt since 1970. Similarity between our findings and previous research highlights the opportunity to quantify impact of management on yield and efficiencies by using producer data as a complement to high‐cost multi‐year, multi‐site field experiments.Core Ideas

We assessed rotation effect on on‐farm yield and input‐use efficiency.
Analysis was based on a large producer‐reported database collected from high‐yield irrigated maize–soybean systems.
There was a consistent positive rotation effect on yield and partial factor productivity for N fertilizer.
Number of previous maize crops did not affect maize yield in monoculture but soybean yields were higher following multiple maize crops.
Increasing maize area in rotation relative to monoculture accounts for 8% of the maize yield gain in the U.S. Corn Belt since 1970.

Published: September 2016

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is characterized by a high tillering capacity and disadvantageous spatial structures, which may result in intraspecific competition. This study aimed to determine whether tiller productivity, radiation use efficiency (RUE), and grain yield of winter wheat could be manipulated through irrigation and precision planting patterns in North China. The experiment was conducted during winter seasons of 2011/2012, 2012/2013, and 2013/2014 at Tai'an, Shandong Province, China. The field experiment was based on a two‐factor split‐plot design with three replications under the same plant density (200 × 104 ha−1). Three irrigation levels (0, 90, and 180 mm) were allocated to main plots, and three planting patterns namely single–single (SS), single–double (SD), and double–double (DD) were kept in subplots. Irrigation amount 0, 30, 60 mm of water were applied at GS34, GS48, and GS70, respectively. Results showed that photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) capture ratio of 0 mm was higher than that of the 90‐mm irrigation at 0 to 40 cm, but irrigation increased the total PAR capture ratio, leaf area index (LAI), RUE, and grain yield. The interaction of irrigation × planting pattern indicated that the grain yield of SD was high under 180‐mm irrigation and that of DD was high under 0‐ and 90‐mm irrigations. Leaf area index, PAR capture ratio, and RUE of DD were higher than those of SD under 90‐mm irrigation. The application of DD planting pattern combined with 90‐mm irrigation resulted in positive response to yield.Core Ideas

Double‐double row improved distribution of radiation, leaf area index, and stem number.
Precision planting patterns increased radiation use efficiency and yield of wheat.

Published: September 2016

Edamame [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is vegetable soybean harvested and consumed at the R6 development stage. The growing popularity of edamame as a healthy snack food has led to increased interest in edamame production from soybean producers across the Southeast. The objective of this study was to evaluate selected edamame cultivars for adaptation and production in central Alabama. Selected cultivars were represented by four maturity groups (MGs): MG III (Midori Giant, Chiba Green, Butterbean, Sayamusume, and BeSweet 2001), MG IV (Gardensoy 42, Mojo Green), MG V (Mooncake, Lanco, and Gardensoy 51), and MG VI (Owens).Cultivars were planted in replicated plots at the Plant Breeding Unit in Tallassee, AL, in May 2014 and June 2015. Data was collected on germination, plant height at maturity, height of lowest pod, weight of 25 shelled bean, days to first flower, pods per plant, bean per pod, and total yield. Highest yielding cultivars in 2014 included Gardensoy 51 and Midori Giant at 15,960 and 15,742 kg ha−1, respectively. In 2015, Mojo Green, Gardensoy 51, and Mooncake were the highest yielding cultivars at 13,576, 13,195, and 13,092 kg ha−1. In both years BeSweet 2001 produced the lowest yields: 10,226 kg ha−1 in 2014 and 2592 kg ha−1 in 2015. Weight of 25 shelled bean plants varied widely among cultivars. Cultivars from early maturity groups (MG III) produced larger beans with lower overall yield. This data will help producers chose cultivars based on yield potential and market preferences.

This study evaluated selected edamame cultivars for production in Alabama.
Cultivar characteristics such as bean weight, bean per pod, and plant height were documented.
Many of the cultivars in this study have never been evaluated for production in the southeastern United States.
This study will provide growers detailed production information that was previously unavailable.

Core Ideas
Total soil loss was significantly correlated to SOC loss.
SOC content affected the relationship of soil loss and SOC loss.
A simple SOC prediction model for individual rainfall events was built.
Rainfall intensity and slope influenced the SOC enrichment ratio.
Soil organic C (SOC) loss is usually estimated in relation to sediment loss in the long term and at a large scale. Further studies on building a simple SOC prediction model for individual rainfall events are thus needed. Simulated rainfall experiments were conducted under two rainfall intensities (90 and 120 mm h−1) and four typical slope gradients (10, 15, 20, and 25°). Two types of soils (Suide and Changwu) with different textures were selected. Results showed that total sediment loss and SOC loss are correlated and that this correlation is particularly significant under lower organic C content (P < 0.01). The SOC enrichment ratio was high under 90 mm h−1 rainfall intensity and increased further by a low slope under interrill erosion. The relationship between average flow velocity and average sediment concentration for the Suide soil could be regressed with a linear function (R2 > 0.94), and the relationship between slope and runoff could be modeled with a quadratic function (R2 > 0.94). For the Changwu soil, both sediment concentration and runoff showed significant relationships with slope (P < 0.05). Soil organic C loss can be predicted simply by flow velocity, slope, SOC content, and SOC enrichment ratio. The prediction accuracy of the model was improved when the rainfall intensity was low. The results of this study can serve as a reference in enhancing the accuracy of SOC loss prediction.

Peatlands in Borneo is the second which the pH is 32% below normal that is 2-5, the pH of the acid contained in the peat water can trigger the acid environment of the oral cavity resulting in increased aerobic bacteria of the oral cavity. Most small communities of South Kalimantan who lives inland which is unreachable with clean water still use peat water for daily necessities. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of peat water to the number of aerobic bacteria colonies of the oral cavity. This study used the quasi-experimental research design with pre-posttest control group design. The study sample consisted of 20 students of Faculty of Dentistry, Lambung Mangkurat University. The research used peat water after mouth rinsing with 10 ml of water and then the number of aerobic bacteria colonies which were present in bacterial growth media was counted. The result of this study showed that the result of paired t-test showed no significant differences between the groups before and after rinsing with peat water (p = 0.001) (p &lt;0.005). Based on the research we conclude that the peat water may cause an increasing in the number of colonies of aerobic bacteria of the oral cavity.
