In the present study, tests sophie allport bee curtains were performed on the chute with five different geometric shapes of baffles and at four different distances of baffles rows under different hydraulic conditions.The results showed that the baffles on the chute creates the flow resistance and with increasing turbulence causes the transfer of th
Reflective Pedagogy: Making Meaning in Experiential Based Online Courses
The use of reflective pedagogies has long been considered critical to facilitating meaningful learning through experientially based curricula; however, the use of such methods has here not been extensively explored as implemented in virtual environments.The study reviewed utilizes a combination of survey research and individual interviews to examin
Spin(7)-manifolds as generalized connected sums and 3d N=1 $$ mathcal{N}=1 $$ theories
Abstract M-theory on compact eight-manifolds with Spin(7)-holonomy is a framework for geometric engineering of 3d N=1 $$ mathcal{N}=1 $$ gauge theories coupled to gravity.We propose a new construction of such Spin(7)-manifolds, based on a generalized connected sum, where the building blocks are a Calabi-Yau a&d ej-123 four-fold and a G 2-holonomy m
Estimating colonies of Plebeia droryana (Friese, 1900) (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini): adults, brood and nest structure
Estimate of stingless bee colonies including nest structures and quantitative brood and adult individuals are scarce.Here, we describe a new approach to estimate colonial parameters from nest structure, adults and brood.We used five colonies of Plebeia droryana (Friese, 1900) to evaluate colony size deus gorras and weight of adult and brood.Nest ar
Laboratory activities and physics learning at high school: an exploratory study in portuguese settings
In this paper we present findings of an exploratory study, included in a wider investigation which intends to promote meaningful learning of physics concepts, based on experimental work and supported by metacognition tools.The aim of this research was to recognize promoting learning situations in Physics lab.Interviews and questionnaires were appli
