Under normal instructional circumstances, some youngsters learn programming in BASIC or LOGO much better than others. Clinical investigations of novice programmers suggest that this happens in part because different students bring different patterns of learning to the programming context. Many students disengage from the task whenever trouble occurs, neglect to track closely what their programs do by reading back the code as they write it, try to repair buggy programs by haphazardly tinkering with the code, or have difficulty breaking problems down into parts suitable for separate chunks of code. Such problems interfere with students making the best of their own learning capabilities: students often invent programming plans that go beyond what they have been taught directly. Instruction designed to foster better learning practices could help students to acquire a repertoire of programming skills, perhaps with spinoffs having to do with “learning to learn.”

This paper addresses issues of the nature of expertise in programming and asks whether “programming plans” represent the underlying deep structure of a program. It reports an experiment that investigated the effect, on experienced programmers, of highlighting the plan structure of a computer program, while they were performing both plan-related and unrelated tasks. The effect was examined in both Pascal and BASIC. For Pascal programmers, perceptual cues to the plan structure were useful only for plan-related tasks, but the same cues were of no benefit to experienced BASIC programmers in any of the tasks. These results suggest that the actual content of programming plans does not generalise across different languages, although it is possible that the BASIC programmers can use other plans. From these results a more detailed description of programming plans and their role in programming expertise can be developed. The fact that BASIC programmers were not sensitive to the same plans as Pascal programmers implies that plans cannot represent the underlying deep structure of the programming problem.


Smuggling of most valuable trees, like sandalwood in a forest, represents great damage to environment assets. It causes critical financial harm and at last, has a significant obliterating impact on the condition everywhere throughout the world. Fire is yet another reason that destroys the forest. Creatures are losing their natural habitat in this manner causing an absolute lose in nature. This paper proposes an IOT based forest surveillance system which employs the benefits of LoRa technology to detect theft of trees in forest by recognizing the sound produced by certain equipments while cutting the trees. And this paper also proposes the use of gas and temperature sensors to calculate the temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide to predict the forest fire well in advance.PIR sensor is used to find the motion of human beings around the forest and protect the device from the animals. The information is transmitted by the Lora technique. The inserted framework engineering and the equipment/programming plans are explained in detail. The exploration results demonstrate that Lora innovation had a decent transmission impact among forest.

In 1998 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) published formal guidelines for the microbial safety of fresh produce. The guidelines identify and suggest the use of good agricultural practices (GAP) and good manufacturing practices (GMP) for producers and handlers. To extend this important information to international producers and suppliers, an agreement was made to create a GAP and GMP training program through the Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN). JIFSAN combined resources of US-FDA, the University of Maryland, and other universities to reach audiences outside the U.S. with food safety information. The program is based on the train-the-trainer concept. Its success depends on the ability of the newly trained program participants to reach key audiences in the target country. We present an overview of the development of a training manual and its content, the selection of a teaching team and target countries, and the methods for implementation of the training. Examples of activities in various countries are summarized. Results of a program review conducted in 2004, following nine program deliveries, are also discussed. Future needs are identified and current programming plans are provided.

A survey, using an instrument constructed expressly for this investigation, was conducted of directors of campus recreation at all 682 NIRSA colleges and universities in the United States and Canada to determine the current status of: (a) the degree of emphasis institutions currently place on nine categories of sports and recreational activities, (b) the percentage of students, undergraduate and graduate, actually participating in each of these nine categories of activities, (c) future recreational activities and programs, not currently offered to students, but being considered for inclusion within the next 12 months, and (d) future trends in terms of problems (challenges and opportunities) facing college campus recreation departments. Two hundred and sixty-nine schools returned usable surveys for a 39% rate of return. This investigation provides a snapshot of specific current practices and programming offerings of campus Recreation Directors, as well as their opinions in terms of future programming plans and anticipated trends affecting their campus recreation departments. The data were analyzed in light of the locations of the responding institutions within the six regions of NIRSA, the size of the institutions and whether the schools were classified as public or private. The nine categories of recreational activities included: (a) intramurals, (b) club sports, (c) open recreation, (d) outdoor recreation, (e) group exercise/aerobics, (f) aquatics, (g) instructional programming, (h) special events, and (i) youth and family activities.
