Math at NIST The classification system itself is here Classification systems have long been used to give structure to large bodies of information. A well-formulated system can improve understanding of the information as well as ease access to it, thus making the information more useful. The Dewey Decimal System, for example, provides a means for librarians to maintain a large collection of books. Since the system is subject-oriented, library users can quickly find books in a given subject area. Likewise, a subject-oriented classification system can be an effective means of directing users to appropriate mathematical and statistical software. To be effective, such a classification system must have the following properties. Problem-orientation. It must classify the problems which can be solved by computer software. Other orientations, such as classification by algorithm or classification by software package, are of less interest to end users. Variable-level tree structure.

Extractions: rather complex. This became a taxonomy that included the three domains; cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. This article discusses the cognitive domain. The taxonomy also provides a useful structure in which to categorize test questions. Bloom found that over 95 % of the test questions students encounter require them to think only at the lowest possible level ... the recall of information.
Growing Muskmelons In The Home Garden, HYG-1615-93
Information on history and taxonomy, climate, fertilizers and lime, culture, varieties, insects and diseases, pollination, and harvest.
http://www.ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1615.html

Extractions: Ted W. Gastier Muskmelons originated in the hot valleys of southwest Asia. There are numerous botanical varieties of muskmelons including: netted melons, cantaloupe melons, winter (casaba) melons, snake or serpent melons, and mango or lemon melons. Technically, cantaloupes are only those muskmelons with a rough, warty surface and a hard rind; however, the name cantaloupe has been applied to the netted varieties of muskmelons. Whether you call them muskmelons or cantaloupes, we can agree that a vine-ripened melon from your garden adds high dessert quality and fine flavor to your family's diet. In addition, muskmelons are an excellent source of vitamins A and C. Muskmelons are a warm season crop, adapted to mean monthly temperatures of 65 to 75 degrees F, and needing ample soil moisture and plant nutrients for growth. During the ripening period the best quality melons are produced when hot, dry conditions prevail. Under Ohio's humid summer conditions, choosing a site with adequate soil drainage as well as good air drainage can help to ensure the desired quality. It is important to allow the leaf surfaces to dry to control foliar diseases. Fertilizer and lime applications are best based on soil test results. Soil sample bags, forms and instructions are available from your county Extension office. In general, when using black plastic mulch, the following amounts of fertilizer nutrients per 1,000 square feet of plot space would be adequate: 1 pound of actual nitrogen, 2 pounds of phosphorus (P

http://www7.nationalacademies.org/resdoc/Taxonomy.html

Extractions: LOCAL SEARCH View the Taxonomy List In any assessment of doctoral programs, a key question is: Which programs should be included? The task of constructing a taxonomy of programs is to provide a framework for the analysis of research-doctorate programs as they exist today, with an eye to the future. A secondary question is: Which fields should be grouped together and what names should be given to these aggregations? We recognize that scholarship and research in interdisciplinary fields have grown significantly since the last study. Some of this work is multidisciplinary; some is crossdisciplinary or interdisciplinary. We could not devise a single standard for all possible combinations. Where possible, we have attempted to include acknowledged interdisciplinary fields such as Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, and American Studies. In other instances, we listed areas as emerging fields. Our goal remains to identify and evaluate inter-, multi-, and cross-disciplinary fields. Once they become established scholarly areas and meet the threshold for inclusion in the study established by this and future committees, they will be added to the list of surveyed fields.

http://www.101science.com/Taxonomy.htm

Extractions: Taxonomy, science of classifying organisms. Probably the first scientific study of plants was the attempt to classify them. At first, because of the limited knowledge of plant structures, artificial classifications, beginning with the most ancient one into herbs, shrubs, and trees, were necessary. These simple categories merely cataloged, in a tentative way, the rapidly accumulating material, in preparation for a classification based on natural relationships. Modern taxonomic classification, based on the natural concepts and system of the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus , has progressed steadily since the 18th century, modified by advances in knowledge of morphology, evolution, and genetics.

Blooms Taxonomy
Comprehension Bloom s taxonomy. Reading Services Center Each level of Bloom s original taxonomy has been restated for clarity and simplification.
http://www.ops.org/reading/blooms_taxonomy.html

Extractions: PURPOSE To apply Bloom's theory of developing higher levels of thought processes to everyday classroom reading. EXPLANATION Many students are directed to read narrative or expository selections for classroom assignments for the purpose of answering factual questions. This type of reading for literal comprehension is often emphasized because of the ease and equity of evaluation. The emphasis is limiting because many students do not develop a personal attachment to books they read. They do not see reading as a bridge to their imaginations, a way to understand how others live their lives, or a method to gain self-understanding and evaluation. Questions that teachers ask can direct the students to the realization that reading has a greater and more diverse purpose than just the simple recall of facts. If this can be accomplished, it is likely that students will place a higher value on reading, continue to turn to it for pleasure and as a resource, and will establish it as a life-long habit. PROCEDURE For any assigned reading selection, develop questions that reflect the progression of thinking and responding from the literal level to the evaluative. Not all levels need to be developed for every selection. Consider a range that will lead the student to the greater purpose of reading.

Curiosities Of Biological Nomenclature
Etymologies, puns and funny sounds and wordplay in taxonomy.
http://home.earthlink.net/~misaak/taxonomy.html

Extractions: Mark Isaak Scientific names of organisms are not usually known for their entertainment value. They are indispensable for clarity in communication, but most people skip over them with barely a glance. Here I collect those names that are worth a second look. Some names are interesting for what they are named after (for example, Arthurdactylus conandoylensis Godzillius ), some are puns ( La cucaracha Phthiria relativitae ), and some show other kinds of wordplay (such as the palindromic Orizabus subaziro ). Some have achieved notability through accident of history, and many show the sense of humor of taxonomists. The names which are recent additions to this collection will be shown in a brighter shade of red. (How recent depends on how often I update. I'll try to keep the newest names distinctive for about a month.) Rules for assigning scientific names have become well codified in order to keep the names internationally unambiguous and understandable. The full set of rules is rather involved, but the most important parts are fairly simple: Binomens - A genus name is one word. A species name is binomial the genus plus a second word. Subspecies have a trinomial name (a "trinomen"). A subgenus is occasionally given in parentheses after the genus, thus:

Extractions: Have you seen the The Amazing World of Birds Yet Key to the Orders of Insects Welcome to the Wonders of Insect Taxonomy and Classification News Flash A New Insect Order Is Discovered There is much excitement in the entomological world at the momement as a new order of insects has just been discovered. To find out more visit the National Geographic news page. Firstly have you ever thought about why we name things at all? If you have you probably realised pretty quickly that names are very important for talking to, and communicating with other people. They allow you to give the other person quite allot of information about the animal or even plant that you are talking about. However not everybody uses the same name for the same animal. For instance slaters, cheesybugs and woodlice are all different names for the same animal in different parts of the world. Because common names can vary so much a scientist called Carl Linnaeus suggested in the 1750's that an international way of naming things be set up so that scientists all over the world could understand each other better. Read more about Carl Linnaeus Since then his original binomial (double name) system has been improved by a number of other scientists, and now you can use the proper scientific name for an animal anywhere in the world and other scientists will know what you are talking about.

Extractions: I am working as a taxonomist by studying the micromorphology of the often less than 1 mm large fruit-bodies of Ascomycetes with the light microscope. My main focus is to combine scientific and amateur work. My special group are the inoperculate discomycetes worldwide, of which I have made many microscopic drawings since about 1974, early influenced by Prof. Oberwinkler (Tübingen) when I was a student. My special method that I am applying concentrates on the light microscopic features of the living cells. This method which I called "vital taxonomy" follows an old but forgotten tradition emphasized by Boudier already in 1886, but is often in conflict with the current method of herbarium taxonomy and electron microscopy. I am doing my work as an unpaid scientific collaborateur of the Luxembourg Musée national d´histoire naturelle.
