Teaching Mathematics In The Seventeenth And Twenty-First Centuries, Dennis C. Smolarski

Mathematics and Computer Science

In the late 1960s, many people saw a fictional vision of the beginning of the twenty-first century via the movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Early in the movie, a lunar expedition uncovers a large, black monolith in the crater Clavius. Although the movie was fictional, and computers have not yet reached HAL's ability to speak and read lips, the lunar crater Clavius does exist and is named after a sixteenth century scholar who was instrumental in introducing mathematics into the university curriculum.

Christopher Clavius (1538-1612) is often associated with the astronomical and mathematical justification for shifting from the Julian to …

Flarr Pages #29: Writing At The Intermediate And Advanced Levels, Andre Lebugle

FLARR Pages

Writing in a foreign language is a demanding task, and students should therefore be thoroughly prepared for it. They may be given vocabulary and expressions to study in advance, . but this is of limited usefulness. Reading a story on which their narrations will focus will reap more benefits. Since language learning is based on imitation, reading is a prerequisite to writing.

Structural Biology Of Bacterial Multidrug Resistance Gene Regulators, Michael H. Godsey, Ekaterina E. Zheleznova Heldwein, Richard G. Brennan

CUP Faculty Research

Multidrug resistance (mdr)¹ can be defined broadly as the ability of a cell to survive ordinarily lethal doses of more than one drug. Clearly, such resistance is a critical problem in the treatment of fungal and bacterial infections and cancer. Four general, but nonexclusive, mechanisms give rise to multidrug resistance: 1) detoxification by enzymatic modification or cleavage of drug; 2) genetic alteration of the intra- or extracellular targets; 3) decreased permeability of the cell membrane; and 4) active drug extrusion by multidrug transporters.

Paramount to our understanding of mdr is the issue of recognition of structurally dissimilar substrates and …

Swimming Behavior Of The Nudibranch Melibe Leonina, Winsor H. Watson Iii, Kaddee A. Lawrence

Jackson Estuarine Laboratory

Swimming in the nudibranch Melibe leonina consists of five types of movements that occur in the following sequence: (1) withdrawal, (2) lateral flattening, (3) a series of lateral flexions, (4) unrolling and swinging, and (5) termination. Melibe swims spontaneously, as well as in response to different types of aversive stimuli. In this study, swimming was elicited by contact with the tube feet of the predatory sea star Pycnopodia helianthoides, pinching with forceps, or application of a 1 M KCl solution. During an episode of swimming, the duration of swim cycles (2.7 ± 0.2 s [mean ± SEM], n = 29) …

Neural Correlates Of Swimming Behavior In Melibe Leonina, Winsor H. Watson Iii, James M. Newcomb, Stuart Thompson

Jackson Estuarine Laboratory

The nudibranch Melibe leonina swims by rhythmically bending from side to side at a frequency of 1 cycle every 2–4 s. The objective of this study was to locate putative swim motoneurons (pSMNs) that drive these lateral flexions and determine if swimming in this species is produced by a swim central pattern generator (sCPG). In the first set of experiments, intracellular recordings were obtained from pSMNs in semi-intact, swimming animals. About 10–14 pSMNs were identified on the dorsal surface of each pedal ganglion and 4–7 on the ventral side. In general, the pSMNs in a given pedal ganglion fired synchronously …

Impact Of The Agricultural Sector On The Arkansas Economy, H. L. Goodwin Jr., Jennie Popp, Wayne Miller, Gina Vickery, Z. Clayton-Niederman

AAES Research Reports and Research Bulletins

Agriculture historically has been one of the primary sectors of the Arkansas economy. Agriculture is defined as the sum of agricultural, forestry, and fisheries production and processing activities unless otherwise specified. Not only does agriculture contribute to the economy through direct agricultural production and added value processing, it also plays an important role through the economy’s other sectors. Utilizing data from the United States Bureau of Economic Affairs and the State of Arkansas, the economic impact of agriculture on the Arkansas economy was estimated for the latest year available, 1999. Gross State Product (GSP) information for Arkansas was compared with …

Women's and Gender Studies Program: Information and Materials

Women's Studies enjoys outstanding support from our faculty and colleagues in the University and the community. I'm pleased to announce that Dr. Theo Sondregger, Professor Emerita of Psychology and Women's Studies has donated over one hundred books from her personal library to the Women's Studies Program. These books will be available soon, along with Women's Studies journals and magazines, in a new reading room of our own on the 12'11 floor of Oldfather adjacent to the Women's Studies Office. We'll be inviting everyone to join us for the opening of the Women's Studies Reading Room.
