Measuring What Matters: A Case Study of Measurement Development Methods for Institutionally Identified Student Learning Outcomes
(Colorado State University Journal of Student Affairs, 1/1/2015)Divisions of student affairs are impacted by an increased demand for accountability and the assessment of student learning in the co curricular must be addressed. This study documented the measurement development processes ... -
In Vivo Production of Small Recombinant RNAs Embedded in a 5S rRNA-Derived Protective Scaffold
(Methods in Molecular Biology, 1/1/2015)Preparative synthesis of RNA is a challenging task that is usually accomplished using either chemical or enzymatic polymerization of ribonucleotides in vitro. Herein, we describe an alternative approach in which RNAs of ... -
Does Our Diversity Talk Match Our Walk? Aligning Institutional Goals and Practice
(College and University Journal, 1/1/2017)The article focuses on aligning Institutional goals and practice in the U.S. and the role of admissions professionals in the U.S. It mentions need for adopting a strategy for helping admissions professionals aimed at ... -
Paired Associate Learning Tasks and their Contribution to Reading Skills
(Learning and Individual Differences, 1/1/2017)Associative learning has been identified as one of several non-linguistic processes involved in reading acquisition. However, it has not been established whether it is an independent process that contributes to reading ... -
Epigenetic Patterns Modulate the Connection between Developmental Dynamics of Parenting and Offspring Psychosocial Adjustment
(Child Development, 1/1/2017)This study attempted to establish and quantify the connections between parenting, offspring psychosocial adjustment, and the epigenome. The participants, 35 African-American young adults (19 females and 16 males; age = 17 ... -
The U.S. Supreme Count's Use of Non-Legal Sources and Amicus Curiae Brieds in Fisher v. University of Texas
(Journal of College and University Law, 1/1/2017)In February 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that challenged the constitutionality of a race-conscious admissions policy at the University of Texas at Austin (“the university”). In addition to the evidence ... -
Pain-contingent interruption and resumption of work goals: A within-day diary analysis
(The Journal of Pain, 1/1/2017)Daily pain-related attributions for and negative affective reactions to the non-pursuit of work goals and individual differences in chronic pain severity and stress were used to predict work goal resumption in a sample of ... -
Towards bedside washing of stored red blood cells: a prototype of a simple apparatus based on microscale sedimentation in normal gravity
(Vox Sanguinis, 1/1/2019)Background and ObjectivesInfusion of by?products of red blood cell (RBC) storage?induced degradation as well as of the residual plasma proteins and the anticoagulant?preservative solution contained in units of stored blood ... -
Chinese Media Engagement in South Africa: What is its impact on local journalism?
(Journalism Studies, 1/10/2017)China’s footprint in Africa’s media sector over the last decade has reached dimensions that make it impossible to go unnoticed. In South Africa, one of the countries where this imprint is most diversified, Chinese media ... -
Recurrence of Cervical Cancer in Mice after Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator Therapy
(American Journal of Pathology, 1/11/2014)Estrogen and its nuclear receptor, estrogen receptor ?, are necessary cofactors in the initiation and multistage progression of carcinogenesis in the K14E6/E7 transgenic mouse model of human papillomavirus–associated ... -
Deterioration of red blood cell mechanical properties is reduced in anaerobic storage
(Blood Transfusion, 1/14/2016)Background Hypothermic storage of red blood cells (RBCs) results in progressive deterioration of the rheological properties of the cells, which may reduce the efficacy of RBC transfusions. Recent studies have suggested ... -
Jamming Mitigation via Hierarchical Security Game for IoT Communications
(IEEE Access, 1/15/2018)In the Internet of Things (IoT), the malicious node with sensorial capability can smartly launch jamming attacks only when it detects the legitimate transmission, known as the reactive jamming. Compared with the conventional ... -
