Differences And Similarities Between U.S. And Non-U.S. Citizens In Graduate School Perceptions, Experiences And Career Preparation, Fred Cline
NERA Conference Proceedings 2013
International students account for a significant percentage of enrollees in graduate programs in the United States. Nearly 30% of the doctoral degrees awarded in the U.S. go to non-U.S. citizens, and about two-thirds remain in the U.S. for their career. This study compares survey results from 1,000 international and 4,200 U.S. respondents on their beliefs about the value of a graduate degree, the quality and sources of information they received about graduate school and careers, and their job satisfaction after completing their degree. Findings suggest that international students need additional support and information when considering careers related to graduate degrees.
State Exam Scores In Course Grade Calculation: Review Of Current Practice And Some Proposed Guidelines, Zachary B. Warner
State Exam Scores In Course Grade Calculation: Review Of Current Practice And Some Proposed Guidelines, Zachary B. Warner
NERA Conference Proceedings 2013
Many states use EOC exams as graduation requirements and some require the inclusion of student EOC exam scores in the calculation of final course grades. This practice has some advantages, including ensuring that student grades reflect state standards. Still, there are many considerations when taking a score from a standardized measure and incorporating it into a classroom grading system. This paper reviews current practice around this issue in several states and highlights the challenges faced by a state, district, or school wishing to combine EOC exam scores and course grades. Guidelines for policymakers are included and educational implications are discussed.

Perceptions Of Underprivileged High Ability Students Who Bridged The Achievement Gap, Claire E. Delcourt, Marcia A. B. Delcourt
NERA Conference Proceedings 2013
This study was an investigation of the student experience at a High School Early College (HSEC) in Manhattan, NY. Students can graduate from this school in four years with both a high school diploma and a college Associates degree. The perspectives of students who attended a preparatory Early College Academy (ECA) prior to applying to the HSEC and those who were admitted to this HSEC who did not attend the ECA were examined. The HSEC model is effective in helping students succeed in this accelerated learning environment by incorporating support at all stages of the HSEC experience and at the …
The Effectiveness Of Learning Communities On Students' Knowledge Acquisition And Perceived Self-Efficacy, Andrea S. Salis
The Effectiveness Of Learning Communities On Students' Knowledge Acquisition And Perceived Self-Efficacy, Andrea S. Salis
NERA Conference Proceedings 2013
Previous literature has shown that the use of learning communities in higher education enhances student academic performance, social engagement and retention. Much of the literature on learning communities has focused on students attending two or more courses that may be linked by learning goals, assignments or projects. This study examines the students’ academic performance and perceived self-efficacy in the learning community – “Get Active- Be Healthy” that links a lecture-based health course with an experiential learning, physical activity course.

The field of public engagement, participation and deliberation is fraught with conflicting results that are difficult to interpret due to the very different methods and measures used. Theory advancement and consistent operationalization and assessment of key public deliberation and engagement variables will benefit considerably from standardized measures of constructs and the ability to compare across studies. In this article, drawing from social and educational psychology, we describe the theoretical bases for scales assessing eight varieties of participant engagement that may be experienced during participation activities: Active learning, conscientious, uninterested, creative, open-minded, closed-minded, angry, and social engagement. We describe our development …
The Genus Sipha Passerini (Hemiptera: Aphididae) In North America, Susan E. Halbert, Gary L. Miller, Lisa M. Ames
The Genus Sipha Passerini (Hemiptera: Aphididae) In North America, Susan E. Halbert, Gary L. Miller, Lisa M. Ames
Insecta Mundi
Five species of the aphid genus Sipha Passerini (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are reported in North America and are reviewed herein. Of these species, three are adventive species and include: Sipha elegans del Guercio, Sipha glyceriae (Kaltenbach), and Sipha maydis Passerini. Sipha maydis was discovered in California in 2007 and now has been found in Georgia. The genus also includes two native species: Sipha agropyronensis (Gillette) and Sipha flava (Forbes). Sipha maydis can be distinguished easily from all the other species in the genus that occur in North America because it is black. All the species except S. agropyronensis have been implicated …

The Effects Of White Bass (Morone Chrysops) Predation On Juvenile June Suckers (Chasmistes Liorus), Michael J. Whitney, Dr. Mark C. Belk
The Effects Of White Bass (Morone Chrysops) Predation On Juvenile June Suckers (Chasmistes Liorus), Michael J. Whitney, Dr. Mark C. Belk
Journal of Undergraduate Research
We estimated the vulnerability of juvenile June suckers to predation by a growing cohort of juvenile white bass. Also, habitat preference of juvenile white bass (open versus vegetated habitats) in the presence and absence of adult white bass was determined experimentally. Juvenile white bass preferred vegetated habitats similar to juvenile June suckers. June suckers are most vulnerable to juvenile white bass immediately after they hatch and move downstream into Utah Lake. Vulnerability decreases during the summer until by the end of the growing season. Only a small fraction of the juvenile June sucker population is potentially vulnerable to juvenile white …

The System I And System Iii Holocytochrome C Synthases In Cytochrome C Biogenesis, Brian San Francisco
The System I And System Iii Holocytochrome C Synthases In Cytochrome C Biogenesis, Brian San Francisco
All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
Cytochromes c are proteins that are involved in important redox reactions in organisms from every kingdom of life. C-type cytochromes, uniquely, possess a covalently bound heme. Since cytochromes c are assembled at their site(s) of function: outside of the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria, in the chloroplast lumen, or in the mitochrondrial intermembrane space), their assembly poses unique challenges to heme trafficking and post translational modification. Three major systems exist in nature for cytochrome c assembly, termed systems I, II, and III. Using recombinant Escherichia coli, aspects of systems I and III were analyzed, with an emphasis on the synthase protein(s) …

Publications and Research
Background A cohort study found that 9/11‐related environmental exposures and posttraumatic stress disorder increased self‐reported cardiovascular disease risk. We attempted to replicate these findings using objectively defined cardiovascular disease hospitalizations in the same cohort. Methods and Results Data for adult World Trade Center Health Registry enrollees residing in New York State on enrollment and no cardiovascular disease history (n=46 346) were linked to a New York State hospital discharge–reporting system. Follow‐up began at Registry enrollment (2003–2004) and ended at the first cerebrovascular or heart disease (HD) hospitalization, death, or December 31, 2010, whichever was earliest. We used proportional hazards models …

International Arab Journal of Dentistry
The aim of this study was to prepare a new root canal obturation material named “nano-calcium carbonate-polyurethane” and to evaluate three of its physical properties which are solubility, water sorption and radiopacity.Polycarbonate 1, 6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, NCO 49.79%, and 1, 4-butanediol were mixed together to form polycarbonate-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Additive materials like nano-calcium carbonate powder, zinc oxide, calcium hydroxide and barium sulfate with different ratios were blend together with the polycarbonate-based thermoplastic polyurethane to form the final obturation material.The nano-calcium carbonate-polyurethane was found to be a promising root canal filling material; the percentages of solubility, water sorption and radiopacity were …
Concomitant Occurrence Of Neurofibromatosis Type I And Lobular Capillary Hemangioma In The Oral Cavity: A Case Report, Rakhi Issrani
Concomitant Occurrence Of Neurofibromatosis Type I And Lobular Capillary Hemangioma In The Oral Cavity: A Case Report, Rakhi Issrani
International Arab Journal of Dentistry
Neurofibromatosis type I is one of the most common autosomal dominant inherited disorders associated with deletion, insertion, or mutation in the NF-1 gene. Neurofibromas are the hallmark of the neurofibromatosis type I and usually appear during childhood or adolescence after the emergence of “café au lait” spots. Despite their occurrence in the head and neck region, neural sheath tumors are rarely seen in the oral cavity. Lobular capillary hemangioma is a histologic variant of pyogenic granuloma which is a common benign vascular lesion of the skin and mucosa. It is neither infective / purulent nor granulomatous as the name might …
Androgen Regulation Of Calbindin-D28k In Rat Hypothalamic Tissue During Prenatal Development, Melanie A. Watson, Dr. Edwin Lephart
Androgen Regulation Of Calbindin-D28k In Rat Hypothalamic Tissue During Prenatal Development, Melanie A. Watson, Dr. Edwin Lephart
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Calbindin-D28K is a calcium-binding protein that serves a potentially important role in both the development and function of the central nervous system (CNS). Previous studies indicate the dimorphic expressions of calbindin within the medial basal hypothalamus (N4BH), supporting its putative importance in the neurogenesis of sexually dimorphic brain structures.2 Another primary action of this protein is to buffer intracellular calcium levels, thus functioning as a neuroprotective mechanism against pre-mature apoptosis. Regulation of calbindin is reported to be, in part, stimulated by glucocorticoids in response to activation of the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal stress axis.3 Evidence also exists for the potential regulation of calcium-binding …

Microrna-200c Modulates The Expression Of Muc4 And Muc16 By Directly Targeting Their Coding Sequences In Human Pancreatic Cancer., Prakash Radhakrishnan, Ashley M. Mohr, Paul M. Grandgenett, Maria M. Steele, Surinder K. Batra, Michael A. Hollingsworth
Microrna-200c Modulates The Expression Of Muc4 And Muc16 By Directly Targeting Their Coding Sequences In Human Pancreatic Cancer., Prakash Radhakrishnan, Ashley M. Mohr, Paul M. Grandgenett, Maria M. Steele, Surinder K. Batra, Michael A. Hollingsworth
Journal Articles: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
Transmembrane mucins, MUC4 and MUC16 are associated with tumor progression and metastatic potential in human pancreatic adenocarcinoma. We discovered that miR-200c interacts with specific sequences within the coding sequence of MUC4 and MUC16 mRNAs, and evaluated the regulatory nature of this association. Pancreatic cancer cell lines S2.028 and T3M-4 transfected with miR-200c showed a 4.18 and 8.50 fold down regulation of MUC4 mRNA, and 4.68 and 4.82 fold down regulation of MUC16 mRNA compared to mock-transfected cells, respectively. A significant reduction of glycoprotein expression was also observed. These results indicate that miR-200c overexpression regulates MUC4 and MUC16 mucins in pancreatic …
Capital Cost Comparisons Between Low Impact Development (Lid) And Conventional Stormwater Management Systems In Florida, Daniel C. Penniman, Mark Hostetler, Tatiana Borisova, Glenn Acomb
Capital Cost Comparisons Between Low Impact Development (Lid) And Conventional Stormwater Management Systems In Florida, Daniel C. Penniman, Mark Hostetler, Tatiana Borisova, Glenn Acomb
Suburban Sustainability
Low impact development (LID), an ecologically sensitive development strategy and stormwater management (SWM) method, is beginning to be implemented in more suburban and metropolitan projects. However, construction firms that work in Florida have been relatively slow to adopt LID. One significant reason being that many professionals in the development community believe LID practices raise the cost of construction compared to conventional, “pipe and pond” methods. Our objective for this study was to determine how specific capital costs differed between LID and conventional SWM methods. We surveyed a group of LID-experienced design professionals to collect cost data from projects that were …
Effects Of Inundation On Hatch Success Of Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta Caretta) Nests, Katherine R. Shaw
Effects Of Inundation On Hatch Success Of Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta Caretta) Nests, Katherine R. Shaw
Open Access Theses
Piezometers were installed along Keewaydin Island (KI) at 55 loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) nests to determine water levels within the egg chamber during eight to twelve hour sampling periods and the water’s effect upon embryonic development. Hatching success was calculated by excavating nests and determining the relative proportion of hatched to unhatched eggs. For unhatched eggs, we reported the embryonic stage at which development ceased. In 2012 approximately 46% of the variance in hatch success on Keewaydin Island was due to the inundation of nests. The hatching success of nests on Keewaydin decreased by 2.9% (s=13.5%) after one day of …
