This longitudinal investigation evaluated the relationship of sensory integrative development to achievement. It was hypothesized that perceptual abilities would be strongly related to achievement when participants were 6 to 8 years of age, but not 4 years later. Participants (32 school-identified learning handicapped children and 35 non-learning handicapped children) were administered the Sensory Integration and Praxis tests and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children. As predicted, sensory integrative factors were strongly related to arithmetic achievement at younger ages, and the strength of the association declined with age. The reverse pattern was found for reading: sensory integration was not significantly related to concurrent reading achievement at younger ages, but was related to later reading. An unexpected finding was the strength of the relationship of the sensory integrative factors, particularly Praxis, to arithmetic achievement.

This article, devoted to the problems of the environment and intra-environmental processes, investigated various modes of interaction and interdependence of a living creature and the environment in which it lives. For these purposes, the conceptual apparatus of such theorists as G. Bateson, J. von Uexküll, J. Gibson, J. Deleuze and F. Guattari is used. Based on the analysis of a number of design and architectural projects the authors show that the processes of perception and action are not determined by the subject-object disposition. On the contrary, they emerge in the course of manifestation of the territorial assemblage. Such an assemblage consists of the environment and the organism, and is formed by the limitations, affordances and perceptual abilities of all its components. Within this framework the conceptual foundations of the design of the environment are proposed, based on the principle of economy. Applying the concept of "predictive mind" to modeling the information aspect of the relationship of the organism with the environment, the authors identify some characteristics of environment that could enhance and weaken the ability of the mind distributed in the environment to minimize errors predictions. Environment design is thus positioned as a practice of transforming oneself, and in contrast to optimal and friendly environments, the concept of a post-optimal environment is considered; such an environment is conducive to hacking and transformation. Through this notion of provocation to transformation the specificity and the conceptual significance of assistive technologies is revealed, transforming the relationship between people with disabilities and their environment.

The study was designed to determine the relationship between different perceptual abilities and performance in volleyball, badminton, and tennis. 41 boys and 37 girls enrolled in a Grade 10 physical education program served as subjects. Performance in the three sports and four perceptual ability measures were determined. A multiple regression analysis indicated that the Group Embedded Figures Test was the most consistent perceptual measure for predicting significant motor performance but accounted for only 8 to 20% of the actual variance. Further, multiple regression analysis confirmed the importance of previous experience in a specific sport which accounted for 24 to 50% of the variance.

Scientific literacy has become a fundamental focus of Education and is related to the ability to criticize scientific discussions. From the beginning we are required to be able to make decisions by individuals and have a sense of responsiveness to public issues related to science but do not rule out access to get it all must be good both in terms of learning in elementary school. Learning is divided into two, namely conventional and problem-based learning based on scaffolding. The result of this article is the need to increase mathematical modeling skills in students with a problem-based learning approach is higher than conventional. So, Problem based learning will certainly have a positive effect to tackle global warming by applying five main challenges and correlating the relationship of the earth's governance system to social science with elementary education input as the spearhead of generational change for the better.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Electron microscopy has proved to be an invaluable discipline in studies on the relationship of viruses to the origin of leukemia, sarcoma, and other types of tumors in animals and man. The successful cell-free transmission of leukemia and sarcoma in mice, rats, hamsters, and cats, interpreted as due to a virus or viruses, was proved to be due to a virus on the basis of electron microscope studies. These studies demonstrated that all the types of neoplasia in animals of the species examined are produced by a virus of certain characteristic morphological properties similar, if not identical, in the mode of development in all types of neoplasia in animals, as shown in Fig. 1.

In RBL-2H3 rat leukemic mast cells, crosslinking IgE-receptor complexes with anti-IgE antibody leads to degranulation. Receptor crosslinking also stimulates the redistribution of receptors on the cell surface, a process that can be observed by labeling the anti-IgE with 15 nm protein A-gold particles as described in Stump et al. (1989), followed by back-scattered electron imaging (BEI) in the scanning electron microscope. We report that anti-IgE binding stimulates the redistribution of IgE-receptor complexes at 37“C from a dispersed topography (singlets and doublets; S/D) to distributions dominated sequentially by short chains, small clusters and large aggregates of crosslinked receptors. These patterns can be observed (Figure 1), quantified (Figure 2) and analyzed statistically. Cells incubated with 1 μg/ml anti-IgE, a concentration that stimulates maximum net secretion, redistribute receptors as far as chains and small clusters during a 15 min incubation period. At 3 and 10 μg/ml anti-IgE, net secretion is reduced and the majority of receptors redistribute rapidly into clusters and large aggregates.
