(Springer Link, 2015-11)Student learning assessments—from the institutional level to Academically Adrift—routinely overlook the ways that plagiarism and cheating may contribute to poor outcome performance. The blind spot is a curious one. Faculty ... -
Alleviation of Drought Stress in Arabidopsis thaliana by 17β-Estradiol Application
(American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2016-10)Animal steroidal hormones, including estrogens, are being introduced into the agricultural soil and water supply from increased pharmaceutical and farm waste. Considering the current levels of xenoestrogen contamination ... -
Androgen and estrogen (α) receptor localization on periaqueductal gray neurons projecting to the rostral ventromedial medulla in the male and female rat
(Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 2008-12)The periaqueductal gray (PAG) is involved in many gonadal steroid-sensitive behaviors, including responsiveness to pain. The PAG projects to the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), comprising the primary circuit driving ... -
Anti-hyperalgesic effects of anti-serotonergic compounds on serotonin- and capsaicin-evoked thermal hyperalgesia in the rat
(Neuroscience, 2012)The peripheral serotonergic system has been implicated in the modulation of an array of pain states, from migraine to fibromyalgia; however, the mechanism by which serotonin (5HT) induces pain is unclear. Peripherally ... -
Aproximação à transexualidade na literatura contemporânea brasileira: o caso de Deixei ele lá e vim (2006), de Elvira Vigna
(Latin American Literary Review Press, 2020-06-16)Este artigo analisa o trânsito da protagonista transexual Shirley Marlone no romance Deixei ele lá e vim (2006), de Elvira Vigna, por diversos espaços sociais, simbólicos e geográficos da cidade. De modo específico ... -
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. ... -
Contributions of fungi to carbon flow and nutrient cycling from standing dead Typha angustifolia leaf litter in a temperate freshwater marsh
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2011-02-03)Standing dead plant litter often constitutes a large fraction of the detritus in many freshwater marshes and lake littoral habitats. Despite this evidence, microbial decay processes in standing litter and its contribution ... -
Deslocamento e reconfiguração de espaço no cinema brasileiro: o caso de Linha de passe e Que horas ela volta?
(American Portuguese Studies Association, 2020-05-28)In the present article, I examine Daniela Thomas and Walter Salles's Linha de passe (2008) and Anna Muylaert's Que horas ela volta? (2015). I argue that these films create new representational possibilities for subjects ... -
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 ... -

Effects of 17β-Estradiol on Growth, Primary Metabolism, Phenylpropanoid- Flavonoid Pathways and Pathogen Resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Scientific Research Publishing, Inc., 2016-10)Mammalian sex hormones are spread in the environment from natural and anthropogenic sources. In the present study, the effect of estradiol on Arabidopsis thaliana growth primary metabolism, phenylpropanoid and flavonoid ... -
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 ... -
Euphorbia bicolor (Euphorbiaceae) latex phytochemicals induce long-lasting non-opioid peripheral analgesia in a rat model of inflammatory pain
(Frontiers 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 ... -
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 ... -
Explaining immigrant health service utilization: A theoretical framework
(Sage Open, 2016-05-16)Although there is no paucity of theoretical frameworks for explaining people’s health service utilization (HSU), theoretical frameworks designed to account for variations in immigrants’ HSU remain underdeveloped. Building ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
