ArticleThermodynamicsThermodynamics deals with the concepts of heat and temperature and the inter-conversion of heat and other forms of energy. The four laws of thermodynamics govern the behaviour of these quantities and provide a quantitative description. William Thomson, in 1749, coined the term thermodynamics. The word “Thermodynamics” is derived from two Greek words “thermes” and “dynamikos” which means heat and powerful respectively.By: rupaliWednesday, Jun 9, 2021EDUCATION

ArticleADHD and School interventionshttps://education.wm.edu/centers/ttac/documents/packets/adhd.pdf School interventions should include a team approach across multiple settings, consisting of bothpreventive and intervention strategies. Interventions must be based upon assessment data that includes information about the student’s strengths and needs as well as the environmental conditions in which her characteristics of ADHD occur. Progress monitoring and strategy adjustments are critical to the success of any intervention plan (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010). The first step in creating classroom supports for students with ADHD is understanding thestudents’ strengths and needs. This involves formal and informal assessment, as well ascollaboration among educational professionals and the students’ families. If a student is not responsive to behavioral strategies and interventions, more intensive interventions, such as functional behavior assessment and behavior intervention plans, should be considered (see Practical FBA). No one intervention is universally effective for all students with ADHD. A combination of research-based and promising practices is recommended. Here are several of these practices: Giving DirectionsMany students with ADHD have trouble following directions. Here are some guidelines that might help address this problem. Number of Directions: Give a minimal number of directions or steps at a time.If necessary, have students repeat the directions to the teacher or a peer partner. Form of Directions: Provide written directions or steps, or a visual model of acompleted project. Teach students how to refer to these items as reminders ofprocess steps to complete tasks. This strategy is particularly helpful for long-termprojects. Written AssignmentsMany students with ADHD have particular challenges with written work due to finemotorskills difficulties, motor planning issues, and difficulty alternating their attentionfrom a book to their written responses. Students with ADHD may also need assistance breaking a larger task or project into smaller, more workable units. The following strategies can be used to address these needs.By: Scott HendersonWednesday, Jun 9, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY

OpportunityAgricultural products is wheatAgricultural products is wheat. Wheat is a popular item used worldwide, and as a result, the U.S. has lost some of its share of the wheat market over the years. At the beginning of this century, the US portion of worldwide wheat exports were 25%, but by 2016/2017, they had dropped to about 15%. Examples of agricultural products in the “wheat” category include: Hard red winter Soft red winter Hard red spring White wheat Durum wheat The agricultural wheat products also create by-products, like bran or shorts, often used for livestock feed. In 2019, the United States created 1.92 billion bushels of wheat, a slight increase in agricultural wheat production over the last two years. In all the agricultural crops within the United States, wheat is the third most planted in terms of acreage and receipts.

OpportunityData Tag ImplementationPRIMER: What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? - ADDED Classroom Interventions for Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder Considerations Packet Primer text from The College of William & MaryADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed conditions of children (Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention, 2015). In a 2016 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, scientists found that 6.1 million children aged 2-17 years living in the U.S. had been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is similar to previous estimates. Ages 2-5: Approximately 388,000 children Ages 6-11: Approximately 2.4 million children Ages 12-17: Approximately 3.3 million children The diagnostic term attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) refers to individuals who display patterns of inattention, impulsivity, and overactive behavior that interfere with daily functioning (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) V (APA, 2013) criteria for diagnosing ADHD listthree types of ADHD and the accompanying characteristics. Predominantly inattentive type.The student may:o submit inaccurate or incomplete work,o have difficulty attending to conversations, activities, or tasks,o be easily distracted,o have difficulty following directions,o frequently lose materials, and/oro have difficulty organizing tasks and materials.By: Anne miller chinthanaWednesday, Jun 9, 2021YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

Articleradiographic series (FMX)A full mouth radiographic series (FMX) consists of 20 images composed of periapical (16) and bitewing (4) projections. Periapical radiographs are intended to evaluate the periapical region of the tooth and surrounding bone. Therefore, it is essential to obtain the full length of the tooth and at least 2 mm of periapical bone. Bitewing radiographs record, on a single image, the crowns and coronal 1/3 of the interproximal bone of both arches. Bitewings are useful for detecting interproximal carious lesions, bone height, pulp chamber size and shape, pulp stones, and overhangs on interproximal restorations. It is therefore essential to position the image receptor and x-ray beam so that there is an equal distribution of both arches in the resulting radiographic image. Instrument Assembly: The Rinn XCP Instrument for a full mouth series (FMX) of x-rays consists of 3 parts: 1. 3 biteblocks for the anterior, posterior, and bitewing set-ups. 2. 3 Indicator rods for the anterior, posterior, and bitewing set-ups. 3. 2 Aiming rings for the anterior, posterior, and bitewing set-ups. a. The same aiming ring is used for the anterior and bitewing set-upsBy: rupaliWednesday, Jun 9, 2021AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS
