Where's (The) Computer Science In Service-Learning?, Pete Sanderson
Where's (The) Computer Science In Service-Learning?, Pete Sanderson
Mathematics Faculty Scholarship
Service-learning is a form of experiential learning that integrates classroom concepts with related community service. Computer science faculty and students stand to reap great benefit from the integration of service-learning practice and philosophy into curricula. Many faculty are already doing so, yet computer science is not very visible in the service-learning community. Similarly, service-learning is not very visible in the computer science education community. It is imperative for those computer science faculty involved in service-learning to develop, apply and disseminate effective frameworks for integrating service learning into undergraduate computer science curricula so that its benefits may be more fully realized.
Enemies Of Israel: Ruth And The Canaanite Woman, Glenna S. Jackson
Enemies Of Israel: Ruth And The Canaanite Woman, Glenna S. Jackson
Religion & Philosophy Faculty Scholarship
This article elaborates on the author’s monograph “Have mercy on me”: The story of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15.21-28 (Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 2002). According to the monograph, Matthew uses the Psalms, the story of Ruth and rabbinic tradition to turn Mark’s story of the Syrophoenician woman (7:24-30) into a conversion formula for entrance into the Jewish community. This article employs an intertextuality approach to enhance the theory of proselytism in Matthew’s gospel. The Canaanite woman passes a three-time rejection, one-time acceptance test that the first-century rabbis delineated from the story of Ruth for converting to Judaism.

Untangling The Web: The National Digital Libraries Initiative, Dean Johnston
Chemistry Faculty Scholarship
A report on the National Digital Libraries Initiative is presented. To facilitate access to the vast resources of the Internet, the National Science Foundation has created the Digital Libraries Initiative. Several sites have come online recently that index and catalog materials in a way similar to a library, providing additional information about each site. The official National Science Digital Library Web site has the potential to become a one-stop site for a wide range of educational science material.

Perilipin A Is Essential For The Translocation Of Hormone-Sensitive Lipase During Lipolytic Activation. J Cell Biol, John Tansey
Chemistry Faculty Scholarship
A key step in lipolytic activation of adipocytes is the translocation of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) from the cytosol to the surface of the lipid storage droplet. Adipocytes from perilipin -null animals have an elevated basal rate of lipolysis compared with adipocytes from wild-type mice, but fail to respond maximally to lipolytic stimuli. This defect is downstream of the -adrenergic receptor–adenylyl cyclase complex. Now, we show that HSL is basally associated with lipid droplet surfaces at a low level in perilipin nulls, but that stimulated translocation from the cytosol to lipid droplets is absent in adipocytes derived from embryonic fibroblasts of …
