  • Wikipedia Beetles Dung Beetles Are Beetles That Feed on Feces
    Wikipedia beetles Dung beetles are beetles that feed on feces. Some species of dung beetles can bury dung times their own mass in one night. Many dung beetles, known as rollers , roll dung into round balls, which are used as a food source or breeding chambers. Others, known as tunnelers , bury the dung wherever they find it. A third group, the dwellers , neither roll nor burrow: they simply live in manure. They are often attracted by the dung collected by burrowing owls. There are dung beetle species of different colours and sizes, and some functional traits such as body mass or biomass and leg length can have high levels of variability. All the species belong to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea , most of them to the subfamilies Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae of the family Scarabaeidae scarab beetles. As most species of Scarabaeinae feed exclusively on feces, that subfamily is often dubbed true dung beetles. There are dung-feeding beetles which belong to other families, such as the Geotrupidae the earth-boring dung beetle. The Scarabaeinae alone comprises more than 5, species. The nocturnal African dung beetle Scarabaeus satyrus is one of the few known non-vertebrate animals that navigate and orient themselves using the Milky Way. Dung beetles are not a single taxonomic group; dung feeding is found in a number of families of beetles, so the behaviour cannot be assumed to have evolved only once. Dung beetles live in many habitats , including desert, grasslands and savannas , [9] farmlands , and native and planted forests. They are found on all continents except Antarctica. They eat the dung of herbivores and omnivores , and prefer that produced by the latter.

The Leadership Catalyst: A New Paradigm for Helping Leadership Flourish in Organizations Abstract This thesis codifies a leadership paradigm that was born out of my experience as a naval officer, a corporate manager, and a director in a non-profit program and is informed by my study of leadership over the last 30 years—culminating in my completion of the Organizational Dynamics program. The basis for my model is a declaration that a good leader is someone who develops, creates, or otherwise inspires leadership abilities or improved performance in others—a leadership catalyst. My premise is that by becoming leadership catalysts, people can become force multipliers in their organizations by helping to exponentially improve the organization’s leadership capability.

Argyle and Calvin H. Bartholomew * Chemical Engineering Department, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel: +1-801-422-4162, Fax: +1-801-422-0151. Academic Editor: Keith Hohn Received: 30 December 2013 / Accepted: 12 September 2014 / Published: 26 February 2015 Abstract: Deactivation of heterogeneous catalysts is a ubiquitous problem that causes loss of catalytic rate with time. This review on deactivation and regeneration of heterogeneous catalysts classifies deactivation by type (chemical, thermal, and mechanical) and by mechanism (poisoning, fouling, thermal degradation, vapor formation, vapor-solid and solid-solid reactions, and attrition/crushing). The key features and considerations for each of these deactivation types is reviewed in detail with reference to the latest literature reports in these areas. Two case studies on the deactivation mechanisms of catalysts used for cobalt Fischer-Tropsch and selective catalytic reduction are considered to provide additional depth in the topics of sintering, coking, poisoning, and fouling. Regeneration considerations and options are also briefly discussed for each deactivation mechanism. Keywords: heterogeneous catalysis; deactivation; regeneration 1. Introduction Catalyst deactivation, the loss over time of catalytic activity and/or selectivity, is a problem of great and continuing concern in the practice of industrial catalytic processes. Costs to industry for catalyst replacement and process shutdown total billions of dollars per year. Time scales for catalyst deactivation vary considerably; for example, in the case of cracking catalysts, catalyst mortality may be on the order of seconds, while in ammonia synthesis the iron catalyst may last for 5–10 years.

Traditionally in the form of a keyboard, synthesizers generate electronic signals which are converted to sound through a medium such as speakers or headphones. With its invention, the possibility of creating virtually any sound was achieved. Since its initial emergence, constant technological advancements in the field of electronic instruments and synthesizer technology led to an explosion of electronic sounds in music. As a result, transformations within film and popular music transpired that never would have happened as the result of any other instrument’s invention. The first synthesizer was constructed in 1955 by Harry Olsen and Herbert Belar as a device for the artificial creation of human speech.

  • Music of the 1960S: the Praxis of Ideological Change
    Journal of Social Change 2019, Volume 11, Issue 1, Pages 30–37 DOI: 10.5590/JOSC.2019.11.1.03 Music of the 1960s: The Praxis of Ideological Change Philip Poe Mississippi State University Melody Fisher Mississippi State University Stephen Brandon Mississippi State University Darvelle Hutchins University of Missouri Mark Goodman Mississippi State University In this article, we consider music as the praxis of ideology in the 1960s within the framework of Burke’s rhetoric of transformation. The 1960s were a period of cultural change in the United States and around the world—the civil rights movement, protests against the Vietnam War, challenges to communism in Eastern Europe, liberation politics around the world. The role of music as a unifying element among those people advocating change is well established in scholarship. We take that consideration of the role of music into a discussion of how music became the praxis of ideology, providing a place where millions of people could advocate for change and be part of the change by interacting with the music. Keywords: rhetoric of transformation, praxis, Kenneth Burke, 1960s, music as ideology Introduction The early and middle 1960s witnessed an unprecedented collective movement that would reach its rhetorical climax in 1968 as young people challenged the status quo of their parents’ generation. The counterculture evolved with the rising tensions of generational malcontent that exposed political dysfunction, intense racism, social inequality, and the Vietnam War. The rhetorical engines of persuasive music powered the social movement of the 1960s—protest music, Beatlemania, the British Invasion, and flower-power-fueled the fires of conflictional discourse and created an explosive backdraft of social reformation.
