Using Educational Technology Applications to Enhance Collegiate Mathematics Education
(AMTE, 2020)Classrooms in the United States today look very different than they did 10 or 20 years ago. Mobile technology has a pervasiveand too often disruptive presence in today’s learning environments, but it does not necessarily ... -
Editorial: Cytokine-Mediated Organ Dysfunction and Tissue Damage Induced by Viruses
(Frontiers, 2020-01-22) -
Herpes Simplex Virus: A Versatile Tool for Insights Into Evolution, Gene Delivery, and Tumor Immunotherapy
(Sage, 2020-05-29)Herpesviruses are prevalent throughout the animal kingdom, and they have coexisted and coevolved along with their host species for millions of years. Herpesviruses carry a large (120-230 kb) double-stranded DNA genome ... -
Examing type and quality of preservice teachers’ lessons based on children’s literature
(International Journal on Teaching and Learning Mathematics, 2020)This qualitiative research explores the types and levels of mathematical lesson tasks that 60 future elementary and middle school teachers created during an undergraduate mathematics content and pedagogy course. Data ... -
Loss of dpy-2 and dpy-9 has stage-specific effects on DBL-1 pathway signaling
(microPublication, 2019-12)Loss of some cuticle collagens negatively affects DBL-1 pathway signaling in a stage-dependent manner (Lakdawala et al. 2019; Madaan et al. 2019). We previously observed that in one-day old adult animals, loss of dpy-2 or ... -
Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying and brood-size changes upon exposure to Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus epidermidis are independent of DBL-1 signaling
(microPublication, 2019-04)Effects of S. marcescens and S. epidermidis on egg laying and brood size in wild-type and dbl-1(nk3) populations. (A) Comparison of mean eggs laid between wild-type (WT) and dbl-1(nk3) populations fed on E. coli OP50, S. ... -
Genetic interactions between the DBL-1/BMP-like pathway and dpy body size–associated genes in Caenorhabditis elegans
(SSPA, 2019-12-12)Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways control many developmental and homeostatic processes, including cell size and extracellular matrix remodeling. An understanding of how this pathway itself is controlled ... -
Feedback regulation of BMP signaling by Caenorhabditis elegans cuticle collagens
(SSPA, 2020-03-31)Cellular responsiveness to environment, including changes in extracellular matrix (ECM), is critical for normal processes such as development and wound healing, but can go awry, as in oncogenesis and fibrosis. One type ... -
Texas Government- Chapter 12, Section 3: Texas-sized Challenge
(Globalyceum, 2019)While Texas has many problems to face, few are as pressing as natural disasters. Climate change, zoning, building codes, and urban sprawl combine to create deadly scenarios where increased weather volatility is causing ... -
Skin Deep: Enhanced Variable May Help Explain Racial Disparities in Type 2 Diabetes and Prediabetes
(Diabetes Therapy, 2017-06)Introduction: The study refined definitions of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes (Pre-/T2D) via its four-category outcome variable. Respondents were identified as Pre-/T2D on the basis of (a) doctor’s diagnosis only ... -
How student satisfaction factors affect perceived learning
(Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2010-01)Data from students in two sections of a general education course offered at a research university in spring 2009 were used to explore whether student satisfaction factors are associated with perceived learning as rated ... -
Promoting student learning by having college students participate in an online environment
(Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2011-04)Using data collected in spring 2009 from students at a southern research university enrolled in either of 2 sections of a general education course that fulfilled a social/behavioral sciences graduation requirement, the ... -
Inclusive, Interactive Classroom as Student- Learning Facilitator
(International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2013-07)Using principles underlying the social constructivist approach, we redesigned an undergraduate course on social problems, seeking to employ three learning activities (online assignments and small-group and class discussions) ... -
Understanding the interconnection between routine screening behavior, socio-demographics, quality of care, trust, and communication experiences with health-care professionals
(2019)Abstract: Introduction: Routine screening is an integral aspect of health care. The literature says little about how health-screening behaviors might be predicted based on trust, quality of care and communication within ... -
Sex differences in μ-opioid receptor expression in the rat midbrain periaqueductal gray are essential for eliciting sex differences in morphine analgesia
(Journal of Neuroscience, 2008)Opioid-based narcotics are the most widely prescribed therapeutic agent for the alleviation of persistent pain; however, it is becoming increasingly clear that morphine is significantly less potent in women compared with ... -
Preemptive perineural bupivacaine attenuates the maintenance of mechanical and cold allodynia in a rat spinal nerve ligation model
(BMC Anesthesiology, 2015)BACKGROUND Neuropathic pain is evasive to treat once developed, however evidence suggests that local administration of anesthetics near the time of injury reduces the development of neuropathic pain. As abnormal electrical ... -
Euphorbia bicolor (Euphorbiaceae) latex extract reduces inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress in a rat model of orofacial pain
(Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2019)Recent studies have reported that the transient receptor potential V1 ion channel (TRPV1), a pain generator on sensory neurons, is activated and potentiated by NADPH oxidase-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are ... -
The Development of an Application that supports Body Awareness for Children with Visual Impairments and Additional Disabilities
(International Journal of Orientation & MobilityExeley Inc., 2019)The manuscript reports a case study of a design-based research effort to create an app that promotes body awareness among students with visual impairments (VIs) and additional disabilities. Since 2012, a multidisciplinary ... -
Euphorbia bicolor (Euphorbiaceae) latex phytochemicals induce long-lasting non-opioid peripheral analgesia in a rat model of inflammatory pain
(Frontiers MediaFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2019-09-03)The negative side effects of opioid-based narcotics underscore the search for alternative non-opioid bioactive compounds that act on the peripheral nervous system to avoid central nervous system-mediated side effects. The ... -
Genetic Mutations in the S-loop of Human Glutathione Synthetase: Links Between Substrate Binding, Active Site Structure and Allostery
(Elsevier, 2018)The second step in the biosynthesis of the cellular antioxidant glutathione (GSH) is catalyzed by human glutathione synthetase (hGS), a negatively cooperative homodimer. Patients with mutations in hGS have been reported ...
