The 36% problem
(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 ... -
Ablation of arginylation in the mouse N-end rule pathway: Loss of fat, higher metabolic rate, damaged spermatogenesis, and neurological perturbations
(Public Library of Science, 2009)In the N-end rule pathway of protein degradation, the destabilizing activity of N-terminal Asp, Glu or (oxidized) Cys residues requires their conjugation to Arg, which is recognized directly by pathway’s ubiquitin ligases. ... -
Adopting VR in the classroom: Perceptions of bilingual and ESL education pre-service teachers
(EDMETIC, 2022)Virtual reality (VR) is an immersive technology that is gaining momentum in education and has led to new teaching approaches. Moreover, it has spark interest in educator preparation programs and especially in the ... -
Alleviation of drought stress in Arabidopsis thaliana by 17β-estradiol application
(Scientific Research Publishing, 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 ... -
The Alternative for Germany (AFD) as populist issue entrepreneur: Explaining the party and its voters in the 2021 German federal election
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)This article analyses the vote for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the 2021German Federal Election. Using the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES),we confirm some findings from previous studies, above all that ... -
Analyzing N-terminal arginylation through the use of peptide arrays and degradation assays
(Elsevier, 2016)Nα-terminal arginylation (Nt-arginylation) of proteins is mediated by the Ate1 arginyltransferase (R-transferase), a component of the Arg/N-end rule pathway. This proteolytic system recognizes proteins containing N-terminal ... -
Androgen and estrogen (α) receptor localization on periaqueductal gray neurons projecting to the rostral ventromedial medulla in the male and female rat
(Elsevier, 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
(Elsevier, 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 ... -
Arginyltransferase, its specificity, putative substrates, bidirectional promoter, and splicing-derived isoforms
(Elsevier, 2006)Substrates of the N-end rule pathway include proteins with destabilizing N-terminal residues. Three of them, Asp, Glu, and (oxidized) Cys, function through their conjugation to Arg, one of destabilizing N-terminal ... -
Art history, open educational resources (OERs), and social justice-oriented pedagogy: Adaptations to introductory world art history survey courses
(CUNY, 2022)This essay considers the social justice benefits of adopting OERs in an introductory art history survey course. Following the events of the COVID-19 pandemic, instructors have needed to reevaluate pedagogical approaches ... -
Augustine, violence, and the novelty of Machiavelli
(Genealogies of Modernity Project, 2022)Machiavelli, despite his regular use of examples drawn from antiquity, consistently emphasizes the novelty of his approach to political philosophy. In The Prince, he is famously interested in, above all else, the problems ... -
BAG6 prevents the aggregation of neurodegeneration-associated fragments of TDP43
(Elsevier, 2022)Neurodegeneration is associated with the aggregation of proteins bearing solvent-exposed hydrophobicity as a result of their misfolding and/or proteolytic cleavage. An understanding of the cellular protein quality control ... -
Barbarism and social media
(Genealogies of Modernity Project, 2022)Philosophers have not entirely caught up with social media. To be sure, many philosophers use it, but this is not the same thing as philosophizing about it. This is lamentable, since the ubiquity of social media is one of ... -
Bayesian estimation of in-game home team win probability for National Basketball Association games
(Cornell Tech, 2022)Maddox, et al. (2022) establish a new win probability estimation for college basketball and compared the results with previous methods of Stern (1994), Desphande and Jensen (2016) and Benz (2019). This paper proposes ... -
Bayesian sample size determination in two-sample Poisson models
(MedCrave, 2015)Sample size determination is a vital part of clinical studies where cost and safety concerns lead to greater importance of not using more subjects and resources than are required. The Bayesian approach to sample size ... -
Beta-amyloid induces apoptosis of neuronal cells by inhibition of the Arg/N-end rule pathway proteolytic activit
(Impact Journals, 2019)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is accompanied by the dysfunction of intracellular protein homeostasis systems, in particular the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ), which is involved in the processes ... -
Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying and brood-size changes upon exposure to Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus epidermidis are independent of DBL-1 signaling
(Caltech Library, 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. ... -
Camping in the disciplines: Assessing the effect of writing camps on graduate student writers
(University Press of Colorado, 2020)In the past ten years, an increasing number of universities have begun organizing writing “camps,” or full-week immersion experiences, in an effort to address the increased need to support graduate student writing. Outside ...
