Bryophytes, including the lineages of mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are the second-largest photoautotroph group on Earth. Recent work across terrestrial ecosystems has highlighted how bryophytes retain and control water, fix substantial amounts of carbon (C), and contribute to nitrogen (N) cycles in forests (boreal, temperate, and tropical), tundra, peatlands, grasslands, and deserts. Understanding how changing climate affects bryophyte contributions to global cycles in different ecosystems is of primary importance. However, because of their small physical size, bryophytes have been largely ignored in research on water, C, and N cycles at global scales. Here, we review the literature on how bryophytes …

Exploring Leaf Anthocyanin Concentrations And Light Effects On Lettuce Growth, Peyton Lou Palsha, Marc W. Van Iersel, Ryan Dickson, Lynn Seymour, Melanie Yelton, Rhuanito Soranz Ferrarezi

Horticulture Faculty Publications and Presentations

Anthocyanins are secondary metabolites classified as water-soluble, non-photosynthetic pigments with the potential ability to shield chloroplasts from excess light energy. This study investigated the morphological and physiological responses of six lettuce (Lactuca sativa) cultivars with different leaf anthocyanin contents grown in a greenhouse under different supplemental photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD). Cultivars ‘Cherokee’, ‘Teodore’, ‘Rex’, and ‘Rouxai’ decreased in specific leaf area with increasing PPFD, respectively. We observed that growth in cultivars with higher leaf anthocyanin content (‘Cherokee’ and ‘Rouxai’) increased with increasing PPFD. Light use efficiency (LUE) is an important physiological parameter affecting biomass accumulation, and cultivars ‘Cherokee’, ‘Rex’, …

Oxalate content in spinach is a key trait of interest due to its relevance to human health. Understanding the genetic basis of it can facilitate the development of spinach varieties with reduced oxalate levels. In pursuit of understanding the genetic determinants, a diverse panel comprising 288 spinach accessions underwent thorough phenotyping of oxalate content and were subjected to whole-genome resequencing, resulting in a comprehensive dataset encompassing 14 386 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Leveraging this dataset, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify noteworthy SNPs associated with oxalate content. Furthermore, we employed genomic prediction (GP) via cross-prediction, utilizing five GP …

The Triumph Of Three Big Ideas In Fair Use Jurisprudence, Michael W. Carroll, Peter Jaszi

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

In two recent cases, Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc. (“Google v. Oracle”), and Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts v. Goldsmith (“Warhol”), the Supreme Court ratified its 1994 holding that transformative use is the appropriate analytical framework for applying copyright law’s fair use provision. In doing so, the Court withstood significant pressure from industry participants in these cases to change course. This Article argues that the Court’s decisions, which represent one third of the Court’s total merits decisions on fair use, are historic. The principal contribution this Article makes is to demonstrate to courts and parties in future …

Regulatory Body Shops, Bridget C.E. Dooling, Rachel Augustine Potter

Duke Law Journal

Agencies do not always write their own rules. Contractors assist agencies in nearly all tasks relating to rulemaking, including reviewing public comments, conducting specialized research, and writing regulatory text. Despite perceptions that contractors’ roles are entirely ministerial, the reality is that contractors fulfill many more functions in the rulemaking process than is commonly understood, including everything right “up to pushing the big red policymaking button,” as one agency employee put it. The use of contractors in rulemaking fits within a broader pattern of increased government reliance on service contractors. Scholars have documented a bevy of governance concerns relating to ethics, …

Gathering Nuanced Data For Understanding Student Withdrawals, Beverly Wood, Emily Faulconer, Darryl Chamberlain

Publications

This white paper argues that the current system for collecting data on student withdrawals at their university is inadequate. The current withdrawal form lacks detail and makes it difficult to understand the reasons why students leave courses. This is a problem because it hinders efforts to improve student persistence (completion of courses).

Key Points:

• The university's strategic plan emphasizes student experience, enrollment management, and academic excellence. High withdrawal rates undermine these goals.
• Researchers developed a research-based nuanced framework for understanding withdrawal reasons.
• The current withdrawal form offers limited options for students to explain why they are withdrawing; the current form …

An Update In Adult Intraosseous Infusion, Wirot Sombatthavoankun

Asian Medical Journal and Alternative Medicine

The Intraosseous (IO) needle was developed in 1920s to access the vascular system via the bone marrow cavity. Around the 2010s, there was widespread interest in IO after the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended that intraosseous access is an optional route when intravenous (IV) access cannot be obtained quickly. IO had a higher success rate (99.6%), was faster to perform (15-24 seconds), had a nearly equal flow rate (1-5L/hr), and had almost equal drug bioavailability to IV. The complication of IO becoming dislodged was 10-16%, needle dislocation was 0.8%, needle bending was 0.4% and parafusion (defined as fluid leakage at …

Role Of Digital Health In Fgids, A Mini Review, Navapan Issariyakulkarn

Asian Medical Journal and Alternative Medicine

Treating functional GI disorders (FGIDs) caused by abnormal gut-brain interactions requires an understanding of individual GI pathophysiology as well as the patient’s behaviors. Many physicians frequently struggle to manage these patients due to a lack of knowledge regarding the patient’s pathophysiology and behaviors. Many digital tools for collecting and recording patients’ health information, which also include patient communication, are available to assist the physician in better understanding the patient. The purpose of this review is to assess how digital health can help FGIDs treatment and the interpretation of GI physiology testing.
