Twenty-Eight Years Of Gm Food And Feed Without Harm: Why Not Accept Them?, Richard E. Goodman

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Since the first genetically engineered or modified crops or organisms (GMO) were approved for commercial production in 1995, no new GMO has been proven to be a hazard or cause harm to human consumers. These modifications have improved crop efficiency, reduced losses to insect pests, reduced losses to viral and microbial plant pathogens and improved drought tolerance. A few have focused on nutritional improvements producing beta carotene in Golden Rice. Regulators in the United States and countries signing the CODEX Alimentarius and Cartagena Biosafety agreements have evaluated human and animal food safety considering potential risks of allergenicity, toxicity, nutritional and …

"Hyperlocal" Career Pathway Programs In New Hampshire: Collaborating To Support Youth At The Secondary/Postsecondary Transition, Jayson Seaman

Carsey Publications

College costs and persistent workforce shortages have prompted educators, policymakers, and employers to shift the conversation on the transition from high school from a narrow “college for all” emphasis to a broader “postsecondary education” and “career pathways” perspective. The timing of this shift coincides with current and anticipated workforce needs; by 2032, New Hampshire will have 197,000 positions available across its top 80 occupations, with labor force growth projected to fill only 6,100 of those jobs.

Some commentators argue that broadening options to include career and technical education, certificates, and 2-year degrees is essential for realizing equity gains. Successfully building …

Embedding Development Education And International Service-Learning In Undergraduate Stem Programmes To Address Sustainable Development Goal Target 4.7, Ciaran O'Leary, Claire M. Mcdonnell

Irish Journal of Academic Practice

Development education and international service-learning are approaches to education that have the potential to offer students an opportunity to develop their understanding and appreciation of global issues such as poverty and inequality. In this regard, both approaches are aligned with Global Citizenship, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 4.7. In this paper, the experiences of eight students who participated in an international service-learning project between 2011 and 2013 are evaluated using a survey and a thematic analysis. By undertaking the evaluation a decade following the running of the module, the analysis benefits from the pivot …

Yap Mechanotransduction Under Cyclic Mechanical Stretch Loading For Mesenchymal Stem Cell Osteogenesis Is Regulated By Rock, Eunju Kim, Brandon D. Riehl, Tasneem Bouzid, Ruiguo Yang, Bin Duan, Henry J. Donahue, Jung Yul Lim

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

While yes-associated protein (YAP) is now recognized as a potent mechanosensitive transcriptional regulator to affect cell growth and differentiation including the osteogenic transcription of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), most studies have reported the YAP mechanosensing of static mechanophysical cues such as substrate stiffness. We tested MSC response to dynamic loading, i.e., cyclic mechanical stretching, and assessed YAP mechanosensing and resultant MSC osteogenesis. We showed that cyclic stretching at 10% strain and 1 Hz frequency triggered YAP nuclear import in MSCs. YAP phosphorylation at S127 and S397, which is required for YAP cytoplasmic retention, was suppressed by cyclic stretch. We also …

Chimera Baryon Spectrum In The Sp(4) Completion Of Composite Higgs Models, Ho Hsiao, Ed Bennett, Deog Ki Hong, Jong-Wan Lee, C. -J. David Lin, Biagio Lucini, Maurizio Piai, Davide Vadacchino

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

In strongly coupled gauge theories that serve as completions of composite Higgs models, the fermionic bound states formed by fermions (hyperquarks) transforming in different representations, called chimera baryons, could serve as top partners, by embedding of the Standard Model appropriately. We report our results on the spectrum of chimera baryons in the Sp(4) gauge theory with hyperquarks transforming in fundamental and two-index antisymmetric representations. For this study, we adopt the quenched approximation. We investigate the mass hierarchy between the lightest chimera baryons with different quantum numbers, as a function of the lattice parameters. Inspired by baryon chiral effective field theory, …

Reactivation Of The G1 Enhancer Landscape Underlies Core Circuitry Addiction To Swi/Snf, Katerina Cermakova, Ling Tao, Milan Dejmek, Michal Sala, Matthew D Montierth, Yuen San Chan, Ivanshi Patel, Courtney Chambers, Mario Loeza Cabrera, Dane Hoffman, Ronald J Parchem, Wenyi Wang, Radim Nencka, Eveline Barbieri, H Courtney Hodges

Several cancer core regulatory circuitries (CRCs) depend on the sustained generation of DNA accessibility by SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers. However, the window when SWI/SNF is acutely essential in these settings has not been identified. Here we used neuroblastoma (NB) cells to model and dissect the relationship between cell-cycle progression and SWI/SNF ATPase activity. We find that SWI/SNF inactivation impairs coordinated occupancy of non-pioneer CRC members at enhancers within 1 hour, rapidly breaking their autoregulation. By precisely timing inhibitor treatment following synchronization, we show that SWI/SNF is dispensable for survival in S and G2/M, but becomes acutely essential only during G1 phase. …

Exploiting The Carboxylate-Binding Pocket Of Β-Lactamase Enzymes Using A Focused Dna-Encoded Chemical Library, Suhyeorn Park, Jiayi Fan, Srinivas Chamakuri, Murugesan Palaniappan, Kiran Sharma, Xuan Qin, Jian Wang, Zhi Tan, Allison Judge, Liya Hu, Banumathi Sankaran, Feng Li, B V Venkataram Prasad, Martin M Matzuk, Timothy Palzkill

β-Lactamase enzymes hydrolyze and thereby provide bacterial resistance to the important β-lactam class of antibiotics. The OXA-48 and NDM-1 β-lactamases cause resistance to the last-resort β-lactams, carbapenems, leading to a serious public health threat. Here, we utilized DNA-encoded chemical library (DECL) technology to discover novel β-lactamase inhibitors. We exploited the β-lactamase enzyme-substrate binding interactions and created a DECL targeting the carboxylate-binding pocket present in all β-lactamases. A library of 10

Dietary restriction (DR) delays aging, but the mechanism remains unclear. We identified polymorphisms in mtd, the fly homolog of OXR1, which influenced lifespan and mtd expression in response to DR. Knockdown in adulthood inhibited DR-mediated lifespan extension in female flies. We found that mtd/OXR1 expression declines with age and it interacts with the retromer, which regulates trafficking of proteins and lipids. Loss of mtd/OXR1 destabilized the retromer, causing improper protein trafficking and endolysosomal defects. Overexpression of retromer genes or pharmacological restabilization with R55 rescued lifespan and neurodegeneration in mtd-deficient flies and endolysosomal defects in fibroblasts from patients with lethal loss-of-function …

Perfectionism And Stress During Student-Teaching: Managing Uncertainty With Overcompensation, Peter V. Oliver

Journal of Educational Research and Practice

Student teachers who are unclear about their performance expectations may be driven toward perfectionism. This possibility is discussed as an over-compensation strategy to manage uncertainty and a perceived lack of clarity regarding student teachers’ roles in the classroom. In this case study, I examined perfectionism and stress among six female student teachers enrolled in senior-year student teaching at a small private New England university. I conducted interviews regarding perfectionism, stress, and the coping strategies student teachers used to manage the stress of teaching. Response themes are identified, and strategies to manage perfectionism and stress-related behaviors for student teachers are provided. …
