  • Mla Style Guide for Bibliographical Citations
    American School of Valencia Library MLA STYLE GUIDE FOR BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CITATIONS Used primarily for: Liberal Arts and Humanities. Some general things to know: MLA calls the list of bibliographical citations at the end of a paper the “Works Cited” page, and not a bibliography. Also, like APA, MLA style does not use bibliographical footnotes, favoring instead in-text citations. Footnotes and endnotes are only used for the purposes of authorial commentary. For full entries, titles of books are italicized*, and in-text citations tend to be as brief as possible. See some common examples below. If you don’t see an example that fits the kind of source you have, consult an MLA style guide in the Library, or ask the Librarian. Every line after the first is indented in the full citation. And remember, pay close attention to the examples. Punctuation is very important. * (This reflects a change made in 2009. All information provided in this document is based on the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, available in the Library) For all examples below, the information following “Works Cited:” is what goes into your Works Cited page. The information following “In-Text:” is what goes at the end of your sentence that includes a citation. A BOOK: Author’s last name, First name. Title of the book. City: Publisher, year.

  • Nutraceutical Properties of Leucaena Leucocephala, Manihot Esculenta
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Nutraceutical properties of Leucaena leucocephala, Manihot esculenta, Cajanus cajan and a foliage blend in goat kids infected with Haemonchus contortus Nathalie Minatchy1, Carine Marie-Magdeleine1, Miguel Garin1, Ferdy Nimirf2, Dimitri Romil- Granville2, Lucien Philibert1, Valeriuse Calif1, Jean-Christophe Bambou1 & Harry Archimède1 ✉ Protein and condensed tannin-rich foliage (TRF) are potentially useful as nutraceuticals. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the diet and anthelmintic properties of three TRF types both individually and in combination. We hypothesized that synergistic or antagonistic efects on feed and anthelmintic values related to associations between TRF types may occur. Nutritional and anthelmintic characteristics of Leucaena leucocephala, Manihot esculenta, Cajanus cajan and a mixture of the compounds were evaluated using alfalfa pellets as a control. TRF ingredients were combined with Dichantium hay (48 and 52% of dry matter intake respectively) in mixed diets were consumed by Creole goat kids. Measurements were carried out in animals without parasites and in animals artifcially infected with Haemonchus contortus. Individual feed intake and the digestibility of each diet was measured along with kid growth. There were no signifcant diferences between the growth rates of pre-infected animals and animals fed mixed diets that included alfalfa. A strong anthelmintic activity is observed with Leucaena leucocephala contrary to other TRFs. This work confrms variable dietary and anthelmintic properties of TRF. The combination of TRF did not have synergistic or antagonistic efects on feed value or the anthelmintic potential of TRF. Te fght for food security and considerations regarding the worsening of global warming have produced public opinion that is increasingly hostile to the use of synthetic chemical molecules in the food production chain, which prompted us to evaluate existing agro systems and farming practices1.

  • Season of the Year on Yields of Seven Medium-Grain
    SEASON OF THE YEAR ON YIELDS OF SEVEN 1 2 MEDIUM-GRAIN VARIETIES OF RICE • Jose M . Lozano and Fernando Abruiia3 ABSTRACT The yield of seven medium-grain rice varieties was determined in bimonthly plantings at Gurabo. Chontalpa 16, Brazos, and Vista were the highest yielding varieties averaging 5,700 kg of rough ricejha, but yields of Brazos varied more with season of the year. Yields were highest for February plantings and lowest for October plantings, followed by those for August. Similar yields for all seven varieties averaging about 5,100 kg/ha, were produced when the rice was planted in April, June or December. Varieties and season of the year affected the time required from planting to harvest, which averaged from 101 to 125 days. Lodging was most prevalent in the August plantings, averaging 34%. Nato and Saturn were the most prone to lodging, averaging 21 and 43%, respectively. INTRODUCTION Puerto Rico consumes around 180,000 metric tons of rice yearly, about 65% of which is short grain, 25% medium grain, and 10% long grain. Consumption of medium grain rice has increased considerably during the last 2 years. The effect of planting season on yields of short and long grain varieties of rice has been studied in Puerto Rico, but little work has been conducted with medium grain varieties. Abruii.a and Lozano found that season did not appreciably affect yields of long grain varieties4 and Lozano and Abruii.a found that for short grain varieties yields were highest for June plantings and lowest for September plantings.5 Abruii.a and Lozano6 found that medium grain varieties, especially Vista and Brazos, are more drought tolerant than the short grain varieties tested.

Application 21 In 2014 Andreas Brauchli, the Senior Technical Manager at «The first tests showed us ABB in Zuzwil realized that their routine testing equipment for circuit breaker (CB) production was getting old and maintenance that CIBANO 500 was able efforts had increased considerably. It was also no longer able to to do it and thus actuate the cope with the increasing number of necessary tests which created a bottleneck at the end of production. breaker. This was a decisive step for us.» Therefore, Andreas Brauchli started looking for a reliable and automated testing solution for routine tests on their single- and two-pole outdoor medium-voltage vacuum CBs with an electronically-controlled magnetic actuator (17.5 kV – 27.5 kV). These CBs are mainly used for railway applications. During his research Andreas Brauchli found out that we have a CB test set for medium- and high-voltage CBs called CIBANO 500. “In early 2014 we had already purchased a CMC 356 from OMICRON for testing the protection relays on our medium-voltage switch- Jakob Hämmerle gear that we were quite happy with,” Andreas Brauchli remem- Application Engineer, OMICRON bers. “Therefore, in the beginning of October 2014 I sent an email to OMICRON with some basic information and a description of our necessary measuring tasks.” Testing and decision phase We quickly set up a task force of two experts which took Andreas Brauchli’s information and developed an automated test configu- ration for the integration of CIBANO 500 in the ABB production Magnetically-actuated vacuum CB line.

    _____________________________________________________________________________________ Newsletter – January 2020 Women’s Suffrage Film Series Saturdays at 2:00 pm on January 18, January 25, and February 1, 2020 The three -part Women’s Suffrage Film Series is co- sponsored by the Bennington Branch of AAUW, the Bennington Free Library, and the Bennington Center for the Performing Arts – Home of Oldcastle Theatre. Three Saturday afternoon screenings, followed by discussions, will trace the American women’s suffrage movement from just after the Civil War through the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. All programs will begin at 2:00 pm and are free and open to the public. Not for Ourselves Alone (Part Two) will be shown on January 18 at Oldcastle Theatre. This documentary by Ken Burns sets the stage for the series through an intimate, loving and sometimes fiery portrayal of the suffrage movement’s “miracle partnership” between Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. A discussion will follow the film. Also at Oldcastle Theatre, Suffragettes in the Silent Cinema will be shown on January 25. Following the movement into the "modern age,” this documentary— which contains clips from a variety of silent films—is a time capsule from the dawn of women's suffrage as a mass movement. It looks at how the new medium of film was used for messaging by anti-suffragists and suffragists alike. Director, historian and novelist Kay Sloan will introduce the film via Skype; the discussion afterwards will be led by Jyotika Virdi, professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Windsor in Ontario. (continued on page 2) Page 1 of 3 We switch to the Bennington Free Library on February 1 for Iron Jawed Angels, a feature film by Katja von Garnier.

  • THE MEDIUM-TERM DYNAMICS of ACCENTS on REALITY TELEVISION Morgan Sonderegger Max Bane Peter Graff
    THE MEDIUM-TERM DYNAMICS OF ACCENTS ON REALITY TELEVISION Morgan Sonderegger Max Bane Peter Graff McGill University and University of Chicago University of Vienna Centre for Research on Brain, Language, and Music How flexible is an individual’s accent during adulthood, and how does this flexibility relate to longer-term change? Previous work has found that accents are remarkably flexible in conversa- tional interaction, but predominantly stable over years, leading to very different views of the role of individuals in community-level sound change. This article examines medium-term accent dy- namics (days to months) by taking advantage of a ‘natural experiment’: a reality television show where contestants live in an isolated house for three months and are constantly recorded, forming a closed system where it is possible to both determine the dynamics of contestants’ speech from day to day and reason about the sources of any observed changes. We build statistical models to examine time dependence in five phonetic variables within individuals, in 14.5 hours of sponta- neous speech from twelve English-speaking contestants. We find that time dependence in pronun- ciation is ubiquitous over the medium term: large daily fluctuations in pronunciation are the norm, while longer-term change over weeks to months occurs in a minority of cases. These patterns mir- ror the conflicting findings of previous work and suggest a possible bridge between the two. We argue that time dependence in phonetic variables is influenced by contrast between sounds, as well as systematic differences between speakers in how malleable their accents are over time; however, we find only limited evidence for convergence in individuals’ accents.
