’Turn It Into An “A,”’ Or ‘Turnitin To An “F”’: A Small Sample Study Of Plagiarism Analysis As A Tool For Both Formative And Summative Assessment, Scot Boeringer

Southeast ICAI Sharing Conference

This presentation will discuss the debate about using an algorithm to identify academic dishonesty and present an argument for a mixed formative feedback/summative evaluation role, which is completely student-initiated and does not require significant knowledge of the Turnitin platform, nor requires a greatly increased percentage of effort by the instructor.

Genetic Variation At The Species And Population Levels In The Rocky Mountain Ridged Mussel (Gonidea Angulata) – Supplementary Material, James A. Walton, Karen E. Mock, Steven F. R. Brownlee, Jon H. Mageroy, Greg Wilson, Ian R. Walker

Browse all Datasets

Freshwater mussels in western North America are threatened by water diversions, climate change, loss of required host fish, and other factors, and have experienced marked decline in the past several decades. All four of the primary lineages (potentially species) of freshwater mussels in the western U.S. and Canada are widespread and have somewhat generalist host fish requirements. Of these lineages, perhaps the most poorly understood and of greatest conservation concern is Gonidea angulata (Rocky Mountain ridged mussel). Gonidea is a monotypic genus occurring only in the western continental U.S. and southern Canada. Here we describe the patterns of genetic variation …

Multi-Omics Analysis To Characterize Cigarette Smoke Induced Molecular Alterations In Esophageal Cells, Aafaque Ahmad Khan, Krishna Patel, Shankargouda Patil, Niraj Babu

Open Access archive

Though smoking remains one of the established risk factors of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, there is limited data on molecular alterations associated with cigarette smoke exposure in esophageal cells. To investigate molecular alterations associated with chronic exposure to cigarette smoke, non-neoplastic human esophageal epithelial cells were treated with cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) for up to 8 months. Chronic treatment with CSC increased cell proliferation and invasive ability of non-neoplastic esophageal cells. Whole exome sequence analysis of CSC treated cells revealed several mutations and copy number variations. This included loss of high mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2 (HMGN2) and a …

Implementing Dysphagia Screenings In Stroke Patients, Meredith Buller

Scholars Week

Dysphagia screenings are important to be done for all stroke patients in order to prevent aspiration, pneumonia, and other complications. All patients should be screened regardless of severity of stroke. Many policies outline that all patients should be screened, but many floors are not implementing the policy on all patients. This article reviews research associated with dysphagia screenings and how to properly perform one. Dysphagia screenings should be performed on all stroke patients at the hospital to achieve the best outcomes post-stroke.

Surface Engineering Of Titanium Using Anodization And Plasma Treatment, Manjaiah Mallaiah, Ravi Kumar Gupta

Open Access archive

Ti64 alloy is a well-known material for biomedical applications due to high corrosion resistance and biocompatibility properties. Surface properties of implants plays a vital role in bone and cell growth in the human body. With the anodization process, we can increase the surface porosity, which will be adequate for surface fascination of the implant screw to the bone and appropriate mechanical properties. Hence, the present study attempted to improve the surface properties of Ti64 by anodization and plasma treatment that may be promising method to increase the biocompatibility of Ti materials. Anodization process is the cheapest one to improve the …

Targeting Glutathione With The Triterpenoid Cddo-Im Protects Against Benzo-A-Pyrene-1,6-Quinone-Induced Cytotoxicity In Endothelial Cells, Halley Shukla, Ho Young Lee, Ashkon Koucheki, Humaira A. Bibi, Gabriella Gaje, Xiaolun Sun, Hong Zhu, Y R. Li, Zhenquan Jia

Osteopathic Medicine, Jerry M. Wallace School of

Epidemiological studies have exhibited a strong correlation between exposure to air pollution and deaths due to vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Benzo-a-pyrene-1,6-quinone (BP-1,6-Q) is one of the components of air pollution This study was to examine the role of GSH in BP-1,6-Q mediated cytotoxicity in human EA.hy96 endothelial cells and demonstrated that induction of cellular glutathione by a potent triterpenoid, CDDO-Im (1-[2-cyano-3-,12-dioxooleana-1,9(11)-dien-28-oyl]imidazole), protects cells against BP-1,6-Q induced protein and lipid damage. Incubation of EA.hy926 endothelial cells with BP-1,6-Q caused a significant increase in dose-dependent cytotoxicity as measured by LDH release assay and both apoptotic and necrotic cell deaths as measured …

Species-Specific Holistic Assessment Of Tree Structure And Defects In Urban Hong Kong, N. L. Chau, C. Y. Jim, H. Zhang

Faculty of Design & Environment (THEi)

© 2020 Elsevier GmbH Sustainable urban forests require healthy trees with stable structures to improve provision of ecosystem services including air purification and climate mitigation to urban areas. Trees in compact residential areas are particularly prone to development of defects and unstable tree structures. We assessed in detail tree species, key structural and physiological defects, tree dimensions, growing habitats and planting site conditions of 38,156 trees in 102 sampled public housing estates (PHEs) in Hong Kong. The open spaces in PHEs allowed trees to grow in representative urban habitats. PHE attributes including estate age, number of trees, species richness and …

Inhibition of eukaryotic elongation factor 1A1 (EEF1A1) with the marine compound didemnin B decreases lipotoxic HepG2 cell death in vitro and improves early stage non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in young genetically obese mice. However, the effects of didemnin B on NAFLD in a model of long-term diet-induced obesity are not known. We investigated the effects of didemnin B on NAFLD severity and metabolic parameters in western diet-induced obese mice, and on the cell types that contribute to liver inflammation and fibrosis in vitro. Male 129S6 mice were fed either standard chow or western diet for 26 weeks, followed by …

Detection Of Tor Traffic Using Deep Learning, Debmalya Sarkar, P. Vinod, Suleiman Y. Yerima

Open Access archive

Tor, originally known as The Onion Router, is a free software that allows users to communicate anonymously on the Internet. This makes Tor attractive to cyber criminals, and the anonymity provided can be misused by hackers to enable remote control of victim systems. Indeed, a large volume of Tor traffic is used for malicious purposes such as fast port scans, hacking attempts, ex-filtration of stolen credentials, etc. This makes Tor traffic detection an important component of intrusion detection and prevention systems. Hence, in this paper we present a deep neural network (DNN) based system for the detection and classification of …

A Case Report Of Androgen Receptor Inhibitor Therapy In Recurrent High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer, Sewanti Limaye, Prashant Kumar, Ramya Pragya, Janani Sambath

Open Access archive

Ovarian cancer is common gynaecological malignancy and a leading cause of death among women. Despite the advances in treatment strategies, majority of patients present with recurrence after first- or second-line treatment. Targeted therapy that has proven to be effective in other advanced or metastatic solid tumors have also demonstrated its efficacy in ovarian cancer. Recent studies have shown that the androgen receptor (AR) signalling is involved in pathogenicity and progression of cancer. Current observations suggest AR could be a potential target in managing the disease. In this case report we present a patient with high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) …

Background: SARS coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection causes Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). It is a respiratory tract infection and currently becoming pandemic worldwide affecting more than 50 lakh people. As of now, there is no treatment or vaccine developed for disease management. The main protease, Mpro in SARS-CoV-2 is a druggable target explored by many scientists. We targeted this with the well-known approach of drug repurposing by using computational tools. Methods: Schrödinger software was used for the study. Ligands were prepared from US-FDA drug-bank by importing it to Maestro graphical user interphase, optimised using LigPrep, and molecular geometry minimized using OPLS3e force-field. …
