Fungal Genetics Reports
In A. nidulans the bimG gene codes for the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1. The wild type bimG gene was transformed into N. crassa and expressed under the direction of the alcA promoter. The heterologous bimG mRNA and protein were detected in the transformants by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. However, the transformation did not result in detectable changes in phenotype. This work demonstrates that the alcA promoter, a conditional gene expression system widely used in both Aspergillus and higher plants, also functions in N. crassa.

Preservice Elementary Teachers' Perceptions After Visiting An Interactive Science Center, David H. Palmer
Preservice Elementary Teachers' Perceptions After Visiting An Interactive Science Center, David H. Palmer
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
This paper reports an action research study involving preservice elementary teachers enrolled in a college science methods course (ie. the course focussed on how to teach science at elementary school). There was an interactive science center nearby which many local elementary classes regularly visited, so I decided to set my students the task of visiting the center and reporting on it. However, I was unsure as to what outcomes the students would gain from the experience. I therefore asked the students to each write a short passage explaining what they had learnt from the experience. According to their responses, the …
My Introspective Time Capsule, Michele Stafford-Levy
My Introspective Time Capsule, Michele Stafford-Levy
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
This study takes place in the southwestern part of the United States on the Mexican-American border and is a narrative about a teacher's journey of self-discovery about her own teaching practices through reflection. Dr. Myriam Torres (New Mexico State University) and Michele Stafford-Levy ventured into the typical professor-student relationship. The professor guided her graduate student through a journey of self-discovery and how to document the process of self-reflection and action in her own classroom. By sharing these events from her professional life through autobiography, the student strives to serve as a model for both pre-service and in-service teachers to reflect, …
"You Don't Need To Time It, You Just Need To See It": Racing In Children's Science, Richard Frazier
"You Don't Need To Time It, You Just Need To See It": Racing In Children's Science, Richard Frazier
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
The work I present here arose from a number of biases, several of which are described [in the introduction]. Prominent among the biases is extensive experience of teaching science with an averred emphasis on activity and inquiry. Along with the perspective of practitioner is the belief that children's ideas in science are worthy of scrutiny. Fascination with the research into children's conceptions and practices was tempered, however, by puzzlement over the actions teachers ought to take. Reflections on the gap between children's science and standard science came while straddling the gap between my perspective as a teacher of children and …

Selected College Students' Knowledge And Perceptions Of Biotechnology Issues Reported In The Mass Media, Gary J. Wingenbach, Tracy A. Rutherford, Deborah W. Dunsford
Journal of Applied Communications
The purpose of this study was to determine college students' awareness of and attitudes toward biotechnology issues reported in the mass media. Future agricultural communicators (N = 330) representing 11 land-grant universities in 10 states recorded their knowledge and perceptions of biotechnology issues as reported in the mass media. Respondents were mostly seniors (46%), female (55%), and considered themselves "8" average students (60%). Students achieved only 30% correct responses (M = 3.05) in a knowledge assessment of biotechnology practices, illustrating a lack of knowledge. However, nearly 84% of the respondents perceived their level of knowledge as average to high (24% …
“Transformational Ministry” And “Reparative Therapy:” Transformative Learning Gone Awry, Andre P. Grace
“Transformational Ministry” And “Reparative Therapy:” Transformative Learning Gone Awry, Andre P. Grace

A Case Study Of Online Learners Participating In The Oregon State University Extension Service Master Gardener Training Program, Bob Rost, Ann Marie Vanderzanden
Journal of Applied Communications
As more and more Extension educational content finds its way onto the World Wide Web, questions persist among Extension educators about the effectiveness of online delivery. Do Extension clients learn as much from online Extension educational programs as they do from classroom-based programs? And, are Extension clients with computer and Internet experience more likely to accept online educational programs and be satisfied with them? At Oregon State University, a team of Extension educators addressed those questions via a study of learners participating in the OSU Extension Service’s Master Gardener program. The study compared online learners with traditional classroom learners and …

Gauging Distance Education Students’ Comfort Level With Technology And Perceptions Of Self-Assessment And Technology Training Initiatives, Tracy Irani, Ricky Telg
Journal of Applied Communications
Distance education has made great strides toward enfranchising nontraditional learners. Yet, while technology has continued to evolve and develop, student support services, especially those focused on technology training and assessment, are still a critical need. This study examined a representative sample of undergraduate, graduate, and postbaccalaureate agricultural students to determine the effect of demographics and prior distance education experience on their perceptions of the need for distance education assessment and training and their comfort level with distance learning technologies. Results indicated that respondents with previous distance education experience rated their comfort level with technology lower than those students taking a …
Hermann Hesse's Hegelianism: The Progress Of Consciousness Towards Freedom In The Glass Bead Game , John Krapp
Hermann Hesse's Hegelianism: The Progress Of Consciousness Towards Freedom In The Glass Bead Game , John Krapp
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Hermann Hesse's novels commonly represent characters' struggles through ideological opposition and conflict towards resolution. The majority of his critics attribute Hesse's interest in, and expression of, this struggle to his lifelong study of Eastern philosophy. However, Hesse's interest in things Eastern need not be taken as the exclusive determinant of the theme of individuation represented in his fiction. This essay argues that Hesse's predilection for elaborating the ideological crises and resolutions of his characters may also be interpreted as reflecting the Western, Hegelian concept of an Absolute Spirit that proceeds through exhaustive dialectical permutations before it becomes conscious of its …
A Tale Of Two Authors: Valenzuela And Borges , Sharon Magnarelli
A Tale Of Two Authors: Valenzuela And Borges , Sharon Magnarelli
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Although Luisa Valenzuela and Borges were friends for many years, it is only recently that we find traces of that friendship in her narrative. "La calesita" and "El otro libro," published in 1998 and 1999 respectively, evoke many of the elements we find in Borges's narrative. The latter story, which is the main focus of this study, employs nearly all the narrative elements we have come to associate with the Argentine master. Nonetheless, a single sign is changed as Borges's male characters are replaced by females in Valenzuela's work. The end result is a tribute to Borges but one that …

Spatial Modeling Of Biomass In Nebraska Windbreaks, Qingjiang Hou, Linda J. Young, James R. Brandle, Michele M. Schoeneberger
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Field windbreaks have the potential of sequestering large amounts of carbon. Predicting how much carbon would be sequestered in a newly planted windbreak after ten or more years is of interest. The amount of carbon in a tree depends on its biomass. In a pilot study of Nebraska windbreaks, a Markov random field was used to predict the biomass of green ash in windbreaks as a function of soil and climate conditions. The spatial dependence parameter was significantly different from zero, indicating the presence of small scale variation. In addition to age, the 30 year average summer precipitation and the …
Effect On Boll Weight Of Cotton Plants Planted At Various Densities, B. G. Mullinix, C. W. Bednarz
Effect On Boll Weight Of Cotton Plants Planted At Various Densities, B. G. Mullinix, C. W. Bednarz
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Previous research has shown that yield of cotton increases with plant density until density reaches 16 to 20 plants m-2. In 1997 and 1998 cotton was planted at various densities ranging from 2.5 to 22.5 plants m-2 in a RCB design. Ten row feet (3.048 m) of cotton were cut at ground level in each plot and placed into separate bags. Plant density for each plot was found by counting the number of plants in the bag representing that plot. For each plant, a boll found was placed in a small bag representing the fruiting branch and …

Simulation And Response Surface Methodology To Optimize Winter Wheat Response To Global Climate Change, P. Dhungana, K. M. Eskridge, A. Weiss, P. S. Baenziger
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Future climate changes can have a major impact on crop production. But, whatever the climatic changes, crop production can be adapted to climate change by implementing alternative management practices and developing new genotypes that will take full advantage of the future climatic conditions. Since the classical agronomic research approach is not possible in identifying these new agronomic technologies for the future climatic conditions, we used response surface methodology (RSM) in connection with the CERES-Wheat crop model and the HADCM2 climate simulation model to identify optimal configuration of plant traits and management practices that maximize yield of winter wheat under high …
Using Nonlinear Fixed And Mixed Models To Study Acclimation To Heat Stress In Cattle, L. Lan, A. M. Parkhurst, D. A. Spiers, K. M. Eskridge, G. L. Hahn
Using Nonlinear Fixed And Mixed Models To Study Acclimation To Heat Stress In Cattle, L. Lan, A. M. Parkhurst, D. A. Spiers, K. M. Eskridge, G. L. Hahn
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Researchers studying acclimation of cattle to heat stress want to know if exposure to heat stress in controlled chambers will help cattle adjust to climatic conditions in the field. The four parameter nonlinear PET model is used to study the relationship between core body temperature and ambient temperature. This model works well when cattle are challenged by heat stress but the model is less useful for thermoneutral conditions. Both proc Nlin and Nlmixed are used to compare and contrast the field parameters between the controlled and the potentially acclimated group. Simulation studies were used to compare the effectiveness of proc …

Spline Models For Estimating Heat Stress Thresholds In Cattle, A. M. Parkhurst, D. A. Spiers, G. L. Hahn
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Studies of the relationship between animal body temperature and air temperature suggest body temperature is essentially unresponsive until a threshold is reached, then it responds dramatically to increasing air temperature. The goal is to estimate the threshold between the thermoneutral plateau and the beginning of the heat stress challenge. One approach is to fit a polynomial to estimate the knot position and use spline functions to perform linear least squares piecewise polynomial fitting. Another alternative is to use nonlinear regression to estimate the knot or an inflection point of a nonlinear function. In both approaches the cyclic nature of body …
Using Landscape Characteristics As Prior Information For Bayesian Classification Of Remotely Sensed Imagery, William J. Price, Bahman Shafii
Using Landscape Characteristics As Prior Information For Bayesian Classification Of Remotely Sensed Imagery, William J. Price, Bahman Shafii
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Yellow starthistle is a dominant weed of north-central Idaho canyon grasslands. The distribution of yellow starthistle can be affected by general landscape characteristics, such as land use, as well as specific terrain related features such as elevation, slope, and aspect. Slope and aspect can be considered as indicators of plant community composition and distribution. Hence, these variables may be incorporated into prediction models to estimate the likelihood of yellow starthistle occurrence. An empirically derived nonlinear model based on landscape characteristics was developed to predict the likelihood of yellow starthistle occurrence in north central Idaho (Shafii, et al. 1999). While the …
Estimating The Contribution Of Specific Wheat Varieties To State-Level Production, Bingxin Yu, Richard K. Perrin, David B. Marx
Estimating The Contribution Of Specific Wheat Varieties To State-Level Production, Bingxin Yu, Richard K. Perrin, David B. Marx
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
This paper addresses measurement issues involved in estimating the benefits from a university wheat breeding program. The conceptual foundation is to estimate the spatial distribution of farm-level yields for varieties in each year, based on Nebraska winter wheat variety test data from 1972 to 2001, with 9-20 locations per year. We can then estimate the state average yield difference that would occur between the portfolios of varieties that farmers actually grew, and the portfolio of varieties excluding those varieties from the university breeding program. This paper reports estimates of the statewide annual yields of individual varieties using a standard fixed …

Impact Of Data Transformation On The Performance Of Different Clustering Methods And Cluster Number Determination Statistics For Analyzing Gene Expression Profile Data, Guoping Shu, Beiyan Zeng, Deanne Wright, Oscar Smith
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
We have assessed the impact of 13 different data transformation methods on the performance of four types of clustering methods (partitioning (K-mean), hierarchical distance (Average Linkage), multivariate normal mixture, and non-parametric kernel density) and four cluster number determination statistics (CNDS) (Pseudo F, Pseudo t2, Cubic Clustering Criterion (CCC), and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), using both simulated and real gene expression profile data. We found that Square Root, Cubic Root, and Spacing transformations have mostly positive impacts on the performance of the four types of clustering methods whereas Tukey's Bisquare and Interquantile Range have mostly negative impacts. The impacts …
