Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of how plant behavior and adaptation offer valuable insights for human thriving. We know that plants are important. They maintain the atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They nourish other living organisms and supply psychological benefits to humans as well, improving our moods and beautifying the landscape around us. But plants don’t just passively provide. They also take action. Beronda L. Montgomery explores the vigorous, creative lives of organisms often treated as static and predictable. In fact, plants are masters of adaptation. They “know” what and who they are, and they use this knowledge to make a way in the world. Plants experience a kind of sensation that does not require eyes or ears. They distinguish kin, friend, and foe, and they are able to respond to ecological competition despite lacking the capacity of fight-or-flight. Plants are even capable of transformative behaviors that allow them to maximize their chances of survival in a dynamic and sometimes unfriendly environment. Lessons from Plants enters into the depth of botanic experience and shows how we might improve human society by better appreciating not just what plants give us but also how they achieve their own purposes. What would it mean to learn from these organisms, to become more aware of our environments and to adapt to our own worlds by calling on perception and awareness? Montgomery’s meditative study puts before us a question with the power to reframe the way we live: What would a plant do?
Download or read book Plant Responses to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses Lessons from Cell Signaling written by Sylvain Jeandroz and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facing stressful conditions imposed by their environment and affecting their growth and their development throughout their life cycle, plants must be able to perceive, to process and to translate different stimuli into adaptive responses. Understanding the organism-coordinated responses involves a fine description of the mechanisms occurring at the cellular and molecular level. A major challenge is also to understand how the large diversity of molecules identified as signals, sensors or effectors could drive a cell to the appropriate plant response and to finally cope with various environmental cues. In this Research Topic we aim to provide an overview of various signaling mechanisms or to present new molecular signals involved in stress response and to demonstrate how basic/fundamental research on cell signaling will help to understand stress responses at the whole plant level.

Download or read book 35 years of lessons learned designing building and monitoring passive treatment systems for mining influenced water part 1 written by James J. Gusek and published by OAE Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While natural processes have been remediating acidic water exhibiting elevated dissolved metals for eons, engineers and scientists have been trying to mimic nature in the treatment of mining influenced water for only about 50 years. The technical community has adopted the term “passive treatment” to describe the technology. The design of passive treatment systems is based on the application of multidisciplinary engineering sciences including biogeochemistry, hydraulics, physics, microbiology, and agronomics to name a few. Consequently, there are many opportunities to not quite “get it right” in passive treatment system design, construction, and operation. Fortunately, Mother Nature can be quite forgiving and sometimes a design or operational hiccup can reveal new insights. The case histories presented in this review reflect the learning experiences of a mining engineer whose technical education barely touched on the fundamentals of passive treatment system design. Early system designs were often based on the findings of other practitioners who were gracious enough to share their knowledge at pre-internet conferences and in easy-to-understand publications. Indeed, the current state of practice of passive treatment design rests on the shoulders of a few brilliant pioneers, most of whom are still with us. This review continues the sharing tradition. The common thread among the mini-case histories discussed is that most are from bench- and pilot-scale testing programs, which reinforces the benefits of small-scale testing as an economical way to accumulate valuable lessons learned experience with minimum risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclaiming Lesson Observation explores the latest practice, thinking and research in lesson observation, putting teacher learning at its heart. Illustrated throughout with practical examples from a range of education settings, each chapter contains a rich variety of state-of-the-art, evidence-based case studies to demonstrate how new approaches to observation can be applied in practice. The book is split into four easily accessible parts: making the transition to ungraded models of lesson observation recent research studies in lesson observation peer observation, coaching and mentoring innovations in observing classroom practice. With a carefully chosen team of contributors, from senior leaders and managers to classroom practitioners and education researchers, this book provides an informed perspective on how to maximise the use of observation, and most importantly, implement proven successful schemes to improve the quality of teaching in the classroom. Reclaiming Lesson Observation is for all practising educators who want to break free from the constraints of performative lesson observation to redefine and reclaim it as a powerful tool for teacher growth, on which to build sustainable, collaborative communities of teacher learning.
