Accessibility Regulations And Tips For Reaching Older Adults And People With Disabilities, Debby Newman, Pam Prokop
Accessibility Regulations And Tips For Reaching Older Adults And People With Disabilities, Debby Newman, Pam Prokop
Journal of Applied Communications
Providing accessibility to all audiences is not just the right thing to do - it is the law. As a group, communicators have a responsibility to create accessible resources for people with disabilities, whether this involves classroom materials and press releases or online meetings. While communicators are not lawyers, we need to understand the essence of the statutes, since the United States Census Bureau (2006) reports that there are 51 million Americans with disabilities. This article describes the laws' requirements and ways for federally funded land-grant institutions to meet the intent of those laws. These institutions need to meet the …

Application Of The Nourseothricin Acetyltransferase Gene (Nat1) As Dominant Marker For The Transformation Of Filamentous Fungi, Ulrich Kück, Birgit Hoff
Application Of The Nourseothricin Acetyltransferase Gene (Nat1) As Dominant Marker For The Transformation Of Filamentous Fungi, Ulrich Kück, Birgit Hoff
Fungal Genetics Reports
Here, we report the construction of two transformation vectors, pD-NAT1 and pG-NAT1, carrying the nat1 gene encoding the nourseothricin acetyltransferase. The nat1 gene is expressed under the control of the Aspergillus nidulans trpC promoter and thus can be used as a dominant drug-resistance marker for the DNA-mediated transformation of filamentous fungi. The successful application of both vectors was demonstrated by transforming the homothallic ascomycete Sordaria macrospora as well as the β-lactam producerAcremonium chrysogenum. For both fungi and for both vectors, transformation frequencies were between 10 and 40 transformants per 10 µg of plasmid DNA.
Neurospora Msh4 Ortholog Confirmed By Split-Marker Deletion, Sue Conway, Fred Bowring, Jane Yeadon, David Catcheside
Neurospora Msh4 Ortholog Confirmed By Split-Marker Deletion, Sue Conway, Fred Bowring, Jane Yeadon, David Catcheside
Fungal Genetics Reports
Although most eukaryotes have both MSH4 and MSH5 orthologs, Neurospora was initially thought to lack msh-4. We have deleted the most likely msh-4 candidate and observed a delay in the sexual cycle, disruption to meiosis and a reduction in fertility. Deletion is dominant, showing msh-4 is subject to MSUD. We conclude that Neurospora has a MSH4 ortholog and that it may have remained undetected because of an unusually high number of introns.
Glycosyl Hydrolase Genes And Enzymes Of Neurospora Crassa, Alan Radford
Glycosyl Hydrolase Genes And Enzymes Of Neurospora Crassa, Alan Radford
Fungal Genetics Reports
An analysis of the genome of Neurospora crassa has identified genes encoding 84 putative glycosyl hydrolases, representing 24 different families in Henrissat's classification. Functionally, they include enzymes for the degradation of all major polysaccharides (including cellulase, hemicellulase, chitinase and pectinase).There is evidence of high levels of gene amplification, despite the presence of RIP, as there are eight representatives of family 3 (beta-glucosidases and xylosidases), five of family 7 (endo- and exo-glucanases), six of family 13 (amylases and maltase), nine of family 18 (chitinase), eight of family 47 (ER alpha-mannosidases), eleven of family 61 (endoglucanases) and seven of family 76 (alpha-mannanases).

Using chimeric constructs between the Neurospora crassa mat A-1 gene and the Podospora anserina FMR1 gene, we identified the amino acids important for the heterokaryon incompatibility function in the mating-type protein MAT A-1.
Non-Circadian Light Inducible Rhythm In Aspergillus Nidulans, Sijmen E. Schoustra, Marijke Slakhorst, Rolf F. Hoekstra, Alfons J.M. Debets
Non-Circadian Light Inducible Rhythm In Aspergillus Nidulans, Sijmen E. Schoustra, Marijke Slakhorst, Rolf F. Hoekstra, Alfons J.M. Debets
Fungal Genetics Reports
Aspergillus nidulans grown under standard laboratory conditions does not show circadian rhythmic growth. The presence of a circadian clock was demonstrated in A. nidulans at the level of gene expression (Greene et al. 2003), but a visually observable rhythm is lacking. We recently observed a remarkable rhythmic growth pattern in the formation of conidiospores and ascospores in a fludioxonil resistant mutant of A. nidulans (fldA1) grown in a dark incubator. This is reminiscent of a circadian rhythm. We found however that our observed rhythm is induced by light (leaking into the ‘dark’ incubator) and is not self-sustainable. In absolute darkness …
Influence Of Lithium Ions On Conidiophore Size In Neurospora Crassa, Bodil Aase, Ingunn W. Jolma, Peter Ruoff
Influence Of Lithium Ions On Conidiophore Size In Neurospora Crassa, Bodil Aase, Ingunn W. Jolma, Peter Ruoff
Fungal Genetics Reports
Lithium (Li) ions are known to affect Neurospora crassa’s growth speed and circadian clock period, while elevated temperatures abolish these influences. We wondered whether Li has also an effect on conidia size. We used cryo-SEM to investigate this question and report here the results of 1720 measurements showing that at 20°C the long and short conidial axes are significantly reduced at high Li concentrations (10-15 mM), while the ratio between the long and short axes remains approximately constant. An increased temperature (30°C) appears to abolish the Li effect on conidia size.

Sources And Channels Of Information Used By Educational Program Clients, Glenn D. Israel, Kristen M. Wilson
Journal of Applied Communications
Organizations that want to create change through educational programs need to engage clients in a process that makes use of existing communication networks. Most clients use a repertoire of sources and channels for becoming aware of, learning about, and making decisions about practice or technology adoption. This paper focuses on one group of clients served by Cooperative Extension - horse owners - to identify patterns in the sources and channels of information they use. Further, the association between sets of channels and sources is assessed, controlling for relevant client attributes. The results show that horse owners have four correlated sets …

High Throughput Mating Tests In Neurospora Crassa, Kevin Mccluskey, Rachel L. Yedlin, Sheera A. Walker
Fungal Genetics Reports
Mating type tests in Neurospora crassa can be laborious and tedious. Since we were arraying mutants for distribution, we have developed a method to carry out mating type tests in 96-well plates. This technique is highly efficient and reproducible and gives results in three to four days.

Podospora Anserina As6 Gene Encodes The Cytosolic Ribosomal Protein Of The E. Coli S12 Family, Michelle Dequard-Chablat, Philippe Silar
Fungal Genetics Reports
The ribosomal proteins of the E. coli S4, S5 and S12 families that are part of the ribosome accuracy center control translation accuracy both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In Podospora anserina, genes coding for S4 and S5 have already been identified. Here, we identify the gene coding for the S12 protein homologue and show that it is identical to the genetically known AS6 gene.

Using Focus Groups To Develop An Extension Home Horticulture Public Radio Program, Courtney Meyers, Tracy Irani, Erin Eckhardt
Journal of Applied Communications
Since its creation in 1914, Cooperative Extension has evolved to include a variety of traditional and nontraditional program areas. To reach new clientele, Extension must create programs that appeal to more generalized audiences and that communicate public value. One area that has the potential to create public value with nonagriculturalists is home horticulture. The application of marketing analysis, planning, implementation, and management should be used to reach this audience and provide better service. The University of Florida Extension Service uses an integrated marketing communication (IMC) approach to convey the role Extension plays in the state and in local communities. One …

Participation And Learning In Community Organizations: A Theoretical Framework, Hleziphi Naomie Nyanungo
Participation And Learning In Community Organizations: A Theoretical Framework, Hleziphi Naomie Nyanungo
Adult Education Research Conference
This paper describes a theoretical framework for examining the behavior of community organizations as social actors that shape the participation and learning of their members. The voices of adult educators are among the many scholars and activists calling for local residents to come together to collectively define and address their community concerns. Accompanying the call for participation in collective action is the assumption that through participation, individuals learn to be empowered citizens. Learning in communities is a major focus in adult education (Cunningham, 1996; Hamilton & Cunningham, 1989). However, much of this focus is on the behavior of individuals and …

What Do You Do When The Law Doesn’T Work? Adult Educators’ Role In Fighting Workplace Discrimination, Ann Brooks, Tamara Clunis
Adult Education Research Conference
An analysis of research suggests that ethnic/racial group members lack informal access to developmental opportunities in the workplace. Legal scholars critique Title VII law as ineffective in current organizations. Research shows the work of adult educators is critical in fighting discrimination in the absence of effective legal protection.
Critical Adult Learning Of Immigrant Workers: A Social Network Perspective, Moosung Lee
Critical Adult Learning Of Immigrant Workers: A Social Network Perspective, Moosung Lee
Adult Education Research Conference
Why does one immigrant worker get involved in critical learning whereas another does not? This study attempted to answer the question by revealing how social ties of immigrant workers play a key role in mediating critical learning to a particular political attitude. The results of the study suggested that immigrant workers who showed a resistant political attitude, which is linked to the process of critical learning, tended to have more social ties and occupy more important socio-structural positions in their network than other peer workers.

Novice Physician-Scientists’ Learning In Communities Of Practice, Min-Fen Wang, Lori L. Bakken
Adult Education Research Conference
This study drew from sociocultural theory to understand novice physician-scientists’ (PSs) clinical research learning experience in the workplaces. The findings suggest that there are various forms of research participation marginalized in the PS-communities. The structural dimension of workplace learning context, such as gender, culture, power, and access needs more attention.
