“…The results were also demonstrated in previous reports. [37][38][39][40][41] The structure of RS in the inoculated compost opened up, disintegrated, and became accessible because of the destruction of the wax coat and tissue structure; this facilitated the interfacial adhesion. In addition, the better mechanical properties of the C composites may have been caused by the reduction in the number of structural flaws or weak points associated with the retted fibers.…”

A composting method was applied to improve the processability of rice straw (RS) and its interfacial interaction with a biodegradable resin, hydrolyzed‐soy‐protein‐modified urea formaldehyde adhesives. The composted RS was characterized by fiber testing, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. We found that the particle size of RS was reduced from 0.6–2.0 to 0.2–0.6 mm. The cellulose content decreased, and the lignin content increased; unstable bonds were decomposed after composting. All of the results were beneficial for improving the plasticity of RS. Composted RS with inoculant exhibited a higher peak degradation temperature (352 °C) than the untreated RS (347 °C). The porous structure and tissue in RS were destroyed by the microorganism. The best bonding results were obtained by the composted RS with inoculant. Compared with untreated composites, the modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and tensile strength of the composites were improved by 14.94, 25.36, and 27.21%, respectively. In addition, a mechanism of the structural changes of RS during composting was also proposed. The full biodegradable composites have potential applications in agriculture toward the achievement of sustainable development. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017, 134, 44878.

“…El nivel de desarrollo cognitive se ha evaluado mediante el Test Longeot (Longeot, 1965). Se trata de un test traducido del frances por Aguirre de Career (1983) y validado en varies trabajos (Ahlawat y Billem, 1982;Ward et al, 1981) respecto a otras medidas de pensamiento logico. Consta de cuatro subtests diferentes (anagramas, combinatoria, proposiciones y probabilidades) y proporciona puntuaciones cuantitativas o, alternativamente, la clasificacion de cada sujeto en uno de cuatro estadios: concreto, de transicion incipiente, de transicion avanzado y formal.…”

En este trabajo se estudia el grado en que dos variables, una de tipo motivacional y otra de tipo cognitivo, permiten pronosticar el rendimiento academico. Una muestra de alumnos de segunda etapa de EGB y de BUP fue evaluada mediante el Test de Longeot, el cuestionario MAPE y un test de CI. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el nivel de desarrollo cognitivo y el tipo de pautas motivacionales utilizadas par los sujetos explican un alto porcentaje de las diferencias individuates observadas en el rendimiento. El nivel de desarrollo cognitivo es la variable con mayor poder predictivo en EGB, mientras que en BUP este Iugar lo ocupa la variable CI. La variable motivacional utilizada es un buen predictor en todos los grupos estudiados. Dependiendo del nivel de edad, las variables utilizadas permiten explicar entre un 60 y un 81 par ciento de la varianza del rendimiento.

Using a sample of 908 eleventh grade science stream male and female students from similar socioeconomic area schools, variance based psychometric properties of three paper-and-pencil tests of logical thinking (Longeot test, Lawson's test TOFR, and Tobin and Capie's test TOLT) are investigated. A sub-sample of 212 students took the three tests in randomly allocated different sequential orders of presentation, while 696 students took only two tests. AIfa coefficients for each test separately and for the three tests combined together, concurrent validity coefficients, measures of item difficulty, item discrimination, item-criterion correlation, and 30-day stability coefficients are calculated. Considering the relative homogeneity of the sample, the reliability coefficients of the tests are judged satisfactory, but concurrent validity coefficients are quite low which implies incongruency in decisions made on the basis of the three tests. Need for estimating various psychometric parameters of alternative tests of logical thinking over different grade populations is emphasized. ence teaching on a large scale for two reasons. One is that the time and preparation needed for the interviews are extensive and prohibitive, and the other is that the technique is not objective because of the difficulty in standardizing the
