Valdosta, GA: Valdosta State University. Retrieved [date], from http://chiron.valdosta.edu/whuitt/col/cogsys/bloom.html. Overview of the Cognitive System EdPsyc Interactive: Courses Beginning in 1948, a group of educators undertook the task of classifying education goals and objectives. The intent was to develop a classification system for three domains: the cognitive, the affective, and the psychomotor. Work on the cognitive domain was completed in 1956 and is commonly referred to as Bloom's Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain ( Bloom et al., 1956). Others have developed taxonomies for the affective and psychomotor domains The major idea of the taxonomy is that what educators want students to know (encompassed in statements of educational objectives ) can be arranged in a hierarchy from less to more complex. The taxonomy is presented below with sample verbs and a sample behavior statement for each level. LEVEL DEFINITION SAMPLE
TreeView
Simple program for displaying phylogenies.
http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/rod/treeview.html

Extractions: Tree drawing software for Apple Macintosh and Windows (and now Linux and Unix TreeView is a simple program for displaying phylogenies on Apple Macintosh and Windows PCs. It has the following features: TreeView provides a simple way to view the contents of a NEXUS, PHYLIP, Hennig86, Clustal, or other format tree file. While PAUP and MacClade have excellent tree printing facilities, there may be times you just want to view the trees without having to load the data set they were generated from. The PHYLIP package contains tree drawing programs which offer a greater variety of trees than TreeView, but are somewhat clumsy to use. The forthcoming PAUP* for Windows does not have a graphical interface, hence TreeView allows you to create publication quality trees from PAUP files, either directly, or by generating graphics files for editing by other programs.

Extractions: awarner@lexonomy.com Home Services Presentations ... Publications All of the terms mentioned above are controlled vocabularies. That means that they are organized lists of words and phrases, or notation systems, that are used to initially tag content, and then to find it through navigation or search. Unfortunately, a great deal of disagreement exists as to the individual definitions of each of the terms I mentioned; we spend too much of our valuable time misunderstanding each other. The terminology is in flux; hopefully, at some point, specific definitions will be standardized. I have three purposes in this introduction to the world of controlled vocabularies: Describe where vocabulary control fits into the information architecture of a Web site. Describe the basic steps in controlling vocabulary and how these steps map to the terminology. Provide some basic guidelines and recommendations for creating controlled vocabularies and leveraging them effectively. There are two basic places in information architecture where the form of labels and search terms can be controlled and then often organized in some way, usually hierarchically:
Growing Eggplant In The Home Garden, HYG-1609-95
Features information on history and taxonomy, climate, fertilizers and limes, culture, varieties, pests and diseases, and harvesting.
http://www.ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1609.html

Extractions: Ted W. Gastier The eggplant is probably a native of India and has been cultivated for a long time. It is a member of the nightshade family, making it a close relative of the tomato, pepper and potato. When compared to its relatives, the eggplant is of limited importance. Its use in appealing dishes make this vegetable highly desired by those familiar with it. The eggplant is a very tender plant that requires a long, warm season for successful production. The plants are killed by light frost and are injured by long periods of chilly, frostless weather. Plants should not be set out until all danger of frost has passed. Lime and fertilizer applications are best based on a soil test. Soil sample bags, forms and instructions are available from your county Extension office. In general, two pounds each of actual nitrogen, phosphorus (P O ), and potash (K
Critical Thinking Across The Curriculum Home Page
Bloom s taxonomy and Critical Thinking. Contributed by Barbara Fowler, Bloom s taxonomy divides the way people learn into three domains.
http://www.kcmetro.cc.mo.us/longview/ctac/blooms.htm

Extractions: Curriculum Project Contributed by Barbara Fowler, Longview Community College. Bloom's Taxonomy divides the way people learn into three domains. One of these is the cognitive domain which emphasizes intellectual outcomes. This domain is further divided into categories or levels. The key words used and the type of questions asked may aid in the establishment and encouragement of critical thinking, especially in the higher levels. Level 1: Knowledge - exhibits previously learned material by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers. Key words: who, what, why, when, omit, where, which, choose, find, how, define, label, show, spell, list, match, name, relate, tell, recall, select Questions: What is . . . ? How is . . . ? How did happen? How would you explain . . . ? Why did . . . ? How would you describe . . . ? When did . . . ? Can you recall . . . ? How would you show . . . ? Can you select . . . ?

Taxonomy Of Philippine Lichens

Extractions: Taxonomy of Philippine Lichens Scientific Links: This Web Page is dedicated to the Taxonomic Identification of Philippine Lichens . New species and varieties as well as those subjected to nomenclature change/modification will be highlighted with their photographs displayed. Welcome to the Lichens of the Philippines Information Center! *By going places, unexpectedly , one encounters interesting lichens thus these two forthcoming articles: A Foliicolous Lichen Enclountered in Guimaras Island and the other article, Ramalina sp . at an aging Ceiba pentranda The latter was on the middle of a farmland of a former student. The Foliicolous lichen was seen on leaves of a Croton and that of a young shrubby mango comprising the garden infront of a nipa house. How surprising that they add to the decorative looks of the plants!! As if it was just a part of a garden...but was never cultivated! A product of "unconscious" gardening.

Programmes Global Taxonomy Initiative Printer-friendly version Normal version Global Taxonomy Initiative Background Format for a Report on Implementation of Programme of Work for the Global Taxonomy Initiative ( PDF Word Governments, through the Convention on Biological Diversity, have acknowledged the existence of a "taxonomic impediment" to the sound management of biodiversity. The purpose of the Global Taxonomic Initiative (GTI) is to remove or reduce this taxonomic impediment - in other words, the knowledge gaps in our taxonomic system (including those associated with genetic systems), the shortage of trained taxonomists and curators, and the impact these deficiencies have on our ability to conserve, use and share the benefits of our biological diversity. The GTI has been established by the Conference of the Parties to address the lack of taxonomic information and expertise available in many parts of the world, and thereby to improve decision-making in conservation, sustainable use and equitable sharing of the benefits derived from genetic resources. The GTI is specifically intended to support implementation of the work programmes of the Convention on thematic and cross cutting issues. Given the many competing demands for capacity building in taxonomy, activities under the GTI must be clearly linked to the implementation of Convention.
Decomposition Of Oxalate By Microorganisms
Oxalatedegrading bacteria, oxalate, taxonomy, oxalate utilization
http://www.geocities.com/oxalate2000/index.html

Extractions: INTRODUCTION Oxalic acid is often accumulated as a metabolic end-product in plant cells either as the free acid, as sodium and potassium oxalate, or precipitated as an insoluble salt most commonly calcium oxalate. Deposits of calcium oxalate occur as microscopic crystals in many different organs and tissues a wide variety of plant taxa. Their accumulated amount varies among species and may comprise up to 85 % of dry weight of some plants [1]. In the animal kingdom oxalate and its salts are presented in urine and blood of mammals. Much of the oxalate in animals originates from the oxalate ingested with plant material, although mammals through the oxidation of glyoxlate and ascorbate synthesize minute amounts. OXALATE AND MICROORGANISMS Many fungi, belonging to Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Zygomycetes, a few Lichens [2] and slime mold genera Perichaena and Dianema [3] produce calcium oxalate crystals during some phase of their life cycle. Accumulation of oxalate by fungi, particularly in Aspergillus, Penicillium
