Modeling Pichia Pastoris Growth On Methanol And Optimizing The Production Of A Recombinant Protein, The Heavy-Chain Fragment C Of Botulinum Neurotoxin, Serotype A, Wenhui Zhang, Mark A. Bevins, Bradley A. Plantz, Leonard A. Smith, Michael M. Meagher

Papers in Biotechnology

An unstructured growth model for the recombinant methylotrophic yeast P. pastoris Mut+ expressing the heavy-chain fragment C of botulinum neurotoxin serotype A [BoNT/A(Hc)], was successfully established in quasi-steady state fed-batch fermentations with varying cell densities. The model describes the relationships between specific growth rate and methanol concentration, and the relationships between specific methanol and ammonium consump-tion rates and specific growth rate under methanol-limited growth conditions. The maximum specific growth rate (μ) determined from the model was 0.08 h−1 at a methanol concentration of 3.65 g/L, while the actual maximum μ was 0.0709 h−1. The maximum specific methanol consumption rate was …

Reading In The Zone Of Proximal Development: Mediating Literacy Development In Beginner Readers Through Guided Reading, Patricia A. Antonacci

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Because the term direct instruction has been and is used broadly, it has come to define all types of explicit teaching. Thus, a traditional basal approach - where children are grouped for instruction by their abilities (high, average, and low) and where the teaching is often predetermined or scripted - is unwittingly compared to guided reading. The major objective of this article is to demonstrate that the fundamental difference between the two approaches lies in pitching instruction to the child's literacy level and the need for dynamic grouping of children for instruction.

Interactive Bibliotherapy As An Innovative Inservice Practice: A Focus On The Inclusive Setting, Cynthia M. Morawski, Jenelle Gilbert

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Interactive bibliotherapy (IB) warrants greater attention in the pursuit of innovative inservice education. This paper presents the findings of a study thatexplored IB as an inservice practice to help prepare educators for the roles and responsibilities associated with inclusion. Data collection concentrated on a questionnaire (openended) regarding IB's impact on participants professional and personal development. Discussion of findings, which involved a content analysis of participants' responses, concludes with considerations for practice and research.

Public School Expenditures And Property Taxes: A Consolidated Database, Andrew Agena

Business in Nebraska

Does school district size make a difference in terms of per-student cost? What is a district's property tax incidence-who pays for education? Do geographic size and the rurallurban character of a district influence the property tax burden on landowners? These are some of the questions that a new comprehensive database being developed at BBR are intended to answer.

The purpose of this article is to generally describe the structure of Nebraska's public school system and the property taxes that support it; to introduce this new database; and to offer some preliminary observations. This database is available on BBR's website: www.bbr.unl.edu. …

Potential Use Of Noaa/Avhrr Satellite Data For Monitoring Environmental Change In Turkey, Ali Umran Komuscu

Drought Network News (1994–2001)

In Turkey, desertification has been taking place in areas of low rainfall and minimal vegetative cover. In particular, the central, eastern, and southeastern parts of the country are vulnerable to desertification because of erosion, deforestation, and degradation of vegetative cover. Rivers of those regions are characterized by very high sediment yields. Nearly 60% of the country’s soils are subjected to severe erosion and approximately 450 million tons of sediment are carried to rivers each year. Meanwhile, wind erosion has been a very effective desertification process in central and southeastern parts of the country, where annual rainfall varies around 400–500 mm/year. …

The NDMC hosted the first annual “Drought Monitor Forum” in November. Most of the readers of Drought Network News are probably aware of the Drought Monitor web site (http://enso.unl.edu/ monitor/index.html) and the products that are provided to users. (Mark Svoboda of the NDMC provided an overview of the Drought Monitor product in the Winter/Spring 2000 issue of Drought Network News.) This weekly product, jointly produced by the NDMC, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, has been widely accepted in the United States, and other countries are considering the adoption of a similar technique for mapping drought …

Improving Drought Early Warning Systems In The Context Of Drought Preparedness And Mitigation, Donald A. Wilhite, M. V. K. Sivakumar, Deborah Wood

Drought Network News (1994–2001)

Effective drought early warning systems are an integral part of efforts worldwide to improve drought preparedness. Timely and reliable data and information must be the cornerstone of effective drought policies and plans. In pursuit of the goal of improving the effectiveness of drought early warning systems, participants of the experts meeting were asked to address three fundamental questions:

1. What is your assessment of the current status of drought early warning systems?
2. What are the shortcomings, limitations, and needs for drought early warning systems?
3. How can drought early warning systems be improved to better support drought preparedness and …

Using The Spi To Monitor The 1999-2000 Drought In Northeastern Argentina, Roberto Zanvettor, Andres Ravelo

Drought Network News (1994–2001)

Drought risk is a major concern across many regions of Argentina because precipitation is extremely variable. One of these regions, the Pampas, is the main agricultural and livestock production area, extending over 60 million hectares. This region was recently surveyed to detect, monitor, and assess the occurrence of drought using a network of 27 meteorological stations and the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), developed by McKee et al. (1993). The SPI has various categories that define drought intensities. A period is considered humid when the SPI value is greater than +1 and a period is considered dry when the value of …
