Action Research For Improving At-Risk Students' Literacy Skills: The Professional Development Of Three Florida Teachers Through Their Journeys Integrating Technology, Poetry And Multiculturalism For Literacy Intervention, Luz Carime Bersh, Pamela Benton, Anita Lewis, Magda Mckenzie-Parrales

i.e.: inquiry in education

Abstract

This study focuses on three case studies of three Florida teachers’ action research projects focusing on improving at-risk students’ literacy skills through innovative instructional technology, culturally-relevant poetry and bilingual teaching. The teachers, White, African American and Latina, describe their research journeys, the literacy teaching strategies they used and the outcomes on their students’ achievement. The case studies are then analyzed focusing on the effects the action research projects had on the participating teachers. The analysis explores transformative processes in the teachers’ epistemological shifts, acquisition of skills, attitudes and dispositions, as well as professional development and personal transformation. The findings …

The Effects Of Muscle Mass On Homocyst(E)Ine Levels In Plasma And Urine, M. René Malinow, Craig L. Lister, Carl De Crée

International Journal of Exercise Science

The present study was designed to examine the relationship between homocyst(e)ine (H[e]) lev-els and muscle mass. Two experimental groups each of 24 Caucasian males, one consisting of higher-muscle mass subjects (HMM) and the other of lower-muscle mass subjects (LMM) par-ticipated in this study. Muscle mass was estimated from 24-hour urine collections of creatinine (Crt). Muscle mass was 40.3 ± 15.9 kg in HMM and 37.2 ± 11.4 kg in LMM (P= 0.002). Mean plasma H(e) levels in HMM were 10.29 ± 2.9 nmol/mL, and in LMM were 10.02 ± 2.4 nmol/L (Not significant, [NS]). Urinary H(e) levels (UH[e]) were 9.95 …

Students participated in regular PE classes (including campus wellness center activities) with a …

Insights Into The Roles Of Mss51 In The Biogenesis Of Mitochondrial Cox1, Iliana C. Soto

Open Access Dissertations

In eukaryotic cells, energy is produced by the coordinated action of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) and the oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS). Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is the fourth enzyme of the MRC. COX catalytic activity is mediated by prosthetic groups located in subunits 1 (Cox1) and 2. More than twenty nuclear encoded factors are required for the assembly of the functional enzyme. Cox1 is the center of a regulatory mechanism in which its protein levels depend on the availability of its assembly partners. A key element in the regulatory pathway is the nuclear encoded factor Mss51, a protein essential …

Forest Elephant Mitochondrial Genomes Reveal That Elephantid Diversification In Africa Tracked Climate Transitions, Adam L. Brandt, Yasuko Ishida, Nicholas Georgiadis, Alfred L. Roca

Faculty Creative and Scholarly Works

Among elephants, the phylogeographic patterns of mitochondrial (mt) and nuclear markers are often incongruent. One hypothesis attributes this to sex differences in dispersal and in the variance of reproductive success. We tested this hypothesis by examining the coalescent dates of genetic markers within elephantid lineages, predicting that lower dispersal and lower variance in reproductive success among females would have increased mtDNA relative to nuclear coalescent dates. We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of two forest elephants, aligning them to mitogenomes of African savanna and Asian elephants, and of woolly mammoths, including the most divergent mitogenomes within each lineage. Using fossil calibrations, …

Spatial Analyses Of Benthic Habitats To Define Coral Reef Ecosystem Regions And Potential Biogeographic Boundaries Along A Latitudinal Gradient, Brian K. Walker

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Marine organism diversity typically attenuates latitudinally from tropical to colder climate regimes. Since the distribution of many marine species relates to certain habitats and depth regimes, mapping data provide valuable information in the absence of detailed ecological data that can be used to identify and spatially quantify smaller scale (10 s km) coral reef ecosystem regions and potential physical biogeographic barriers. This study focused on the southeast Florida coast due to a recognized, but understudied, tropical to subtropical biogeographic gradient. GIS spatial analyses were conducted on recent, accurate, shallow-water (0–30 m) benthic habitat maps to identify and quantify specific regions …

Characterization And Biomechanical Analysis Of The Human Lumbar Spine With In Vitro Testing Conditions, Dean K. Stolworthy

Theses and Dissertations

Biomechanical testing of cadaveric spinal segments forms the basis for our current understanding of healthy, pathological, and surgically treated spinal function. Over the past 40 years there has been a substantial amount of data published based on a spinal biomechanical testing regimen known as the flexibility method. This data has provided valuable clinical insights that have shaped our understanding of low back pain and its treatments. Virtually all previous lumbar spinal flexibility testing has been performed at room temperature, under very low motion rates, without the presence of a compressive follower-load to simulate upper body weight and the action of …

Roles Of Trna In Cell Wall Biosynthesis, Kiley Dare, Michael Ibba

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Recent research into various aspects of bacterial metabolism such as cell wall and antibiotic synthesis, degradation pathways, cellular stress, and amino acid biosynthesis has elucidated roles of aminoacyl‐transfer ribonucleic acid (aa‐tRNA) outside of translation. Although the two enzyme families responsible for cell wall modifications, aminoacyl‐phosphatidylglycerol synthases (aaPGSs) and Fem, were discovered some time ago, they have recently become of intense interest for their roles in the antimicrobial resistance of pathogenic microorganisms. The addition of positively charged amino acids to phosphatidylglycerol (PG) by aaPGSs neutralizes the lipid bilayer making the bacteria less susceptible to positively charged antimicrobial agents. Fem transferases utilize …

Personality Traits In Juvenile Delinquents: Associations With Peer And Family Relations, Jeffrey J. Wilson M.D., Sharon E. Willams Ph.D., Evan Garner M.D., Elaine Duxbury B.A., Hans Steiner Dr. Med. Univ.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Objective: To establish family and peer correlates of personality traits shown to be predictive of future criminal recidivism.

Method: 137 incarcerated boys aged 13-18 (x = 16 ± 1.2), 35% black, 21% Hispanic, 43% white, and 1% other completed the Weinberger Adjustment Inventory (WAI) and a psychosocial history obtained by a social worker. Records were summarized using two raters who assigned numerical ratings to dimensions of family and peer relations.

Results: As expected, observer ratings of family and peer relationships were correlated with the personality characteristics of distress, denial and restraint as measured by the WAI.

Conclusion: Family and peer …

Desert Hedgehog Is A Mammal-Specific Gene Expressed During Testicular And Ovarian Development In A Marsupial, William A. O'Hara

Master's Theses

Desert hedgehog (DHH) belongs to the hedgehog gene family that act as secreted intercellular signal transducers. DHH is an essential morphogen for normal testicular development and function in both mice and humans but is not present in the avian lineage. Like other hedgehog proteins, DHH signals through the patched (PTCH) receptors 1 and 2. Here we examine the expression and protein distribution of DHH, PTCH1 and PTCH2 in the developing testes of a marsupial mammal (the tammar wallaby) to determine whether DHH signalling is a conserved factor in gonadal development in all therian mammals.

Effect Of Wine And Vinegar Processing Of Rhizoma Corydalis On The Tissue Distribution Of Tetrahydropalmatine, Protopine And Dehydrocorydaline In Rats, Zhiying Dou, Kefeng Li, Ping Wang, Liu Cao

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

Vinegar and wine processing of medicinal plants are two traditional pharmaceutical techniques which have been used for thousands of years in China. Tetrahydropalmatine (THP), dehydrocorydaline (DHC) and protopine are three major bioactive molecules in Rhizoma Corydalis. In this study, a simple and reliable HPLC method was developed for simultaneous analysis of THP, DHC and protopine in rat tissues after gastric gavage administration of Rhizoma Corydalis. The validated HPLC method was successfully applied to investigate the effect of wine and vinegar processing on the compounds’ distribution in rat tissues. Our results showed that processing mainly affect the T_max and mean …
