TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss various factors surrounding this issue and identify the need for a curriculum deliberation process in Canadian adult literacy, concluding that the issue is an especially crucial one and for several reasons, not the least of which involves resource concerns.
Abstract: Whether or not to integrate computers into curriculum is currently the subject of some debate amongst educators in general (Amos, 1998; Bennett, 1996; Chandler, 1995; Postman, 1993; Robertson, 1998). For adult literacy practitioners in particular, the issue is an especially crucial one and for several reasons, not the least of which involves resource concerns. This paper discusses various factors surrounding this issue and identifies the need for a curriculum deliberation process in Canadian adult literacy.

08 Dec 2014TL;DR: In this article, a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit was used for capacitive signal-conditioning interface, employing a Phase Locked Loop circuit, based on the principle of capacitance-frequency-voltage conversion.
Abstract: This paper presents a new capacitive signal-conditioning interface, employing a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit. The entire circuit design is based on the principle of capacitance-frequency-voltage conversion. The CD4046 digital phase-locked loop (Fairchild Semiconductor) was used for the circuit implementation since it offers approximately 1% linearity, which is suitable for most applications [1]. The functional sensor material used was Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) and this was mixed with 7wt.% Ethyl Cellulose and 1wt.% Lecithin. Terpinol-α was used as the solvent to form the thick film paste. The circuit sensitivity has been tested with the developed thick film sensor in terms of output circuit voltage versus capacitance change. It was found that the developed circuit has lower power consumption when compared to standard frequency-to-voltage converter configurations.

01 Nov 2013TL;DR: A miniaturized USB packaged Wireless data-logger was constructed by a low-power System-on-chip device utilizing 433 MHz ISM transceiver to record body accelerations from multiple sites to reduce the inconvenience for free-moving and enhance the desired performance.
Abstract: This paper presents the development and testing of new Wireless sensor telemetry system designed specifically to be mounted on different parts of the body and record useful motion signals. In this work, a miniaturized USB packaged Wireless data-logger was constructed by a low-power System-on-chip device (CC1111) utilizing 433 MHz ISM transceiver to record body accelerations from multiple sites. The wireless setups reduce the inconvenience for free-moving due to the line connection between sensors and the central data processing recorder. The proposed system is measuring acceleration of range from ±2g to ±16g. To enhance the desired performance, the system is provided with Antenna fault and free-fall detection features. The recorded vibration signals were demonstrated in our experiments, while the subjects performed a series physical moving activities, free-moving, simulated falls and postural changes. In this system, a secure digital MicroSD flash was used to store measured acceleration providing extra data storage.

TL;DR: Molecular studies conducted to detect latent infections of Botrytis neck rot in the onion fields of Manitoba, Canada found knowledge about the timing of infection in the field will be useful in helping farmers to develop and evaluate management strategies inThe field, and also predict the storability and availability of quality bulbs for sale.
Abstract: Neck rot caused by the fungus Botrytis allii Munn. is one of the most devastating diseases of onions (Allium cepa L.) resulting in significant yield losses. This disease is latent in nature develop...

TL;DR: Measurement of mean leaf-apex angle for a shoot can be used to distinguish reliably the parental Typha species and the hybrid.
Abstract: The hybrid cattail Typha xglauca Godr. is morphologically intermediate between Typha latifolia L. and Typha angustifolia L. We propose a method to distinguish these taxa based on morphology throughout emergent life stages. We evaluated four traits of gross morphology and four more from microscopic examination of leaf cross sections. All eight traits were assessed for 45 cattails collected from various types of wetlands in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Canada, these shoots being identified by sequencing of microsatellite DNA as 17 specimens of T. latifolia and 14 specimens each for T. angustifolia and T. xglauca. Decision-tree analysis indicated that the single trait of mean leaf-apex angle for all leaves on the shoot was able to correctly align all specimens with their genetic identities. However, single-leaf measurements for leaf-apex angle were successful in this regard in only 80–85% of attempts. Ignoring mean leaf-apex angle and using a combination of all remaining seven traits, 44-out-of-45 samples were aligned correctly. Measurement of mean leaf-apex angle for a shoot can be used to distinguish reliably the parental Typha species and the hybrid. The remaining seven morphological traits can then be employed to provide additional support for determinations, possibly as an alternative to genetic determinations.
