Description of the Opisthokonts; the eukaryotic clade that comprises Metazoa, Fungi, and their allies. Updated in October 2014.

Institutional repositories are platforms where a university’s faculty and graduate students can preserve their research outputs. Depositing papers in Open Access repositories will increase the visibility and citation of the article, due to removing barriers to knowledge sharing. It's highly recommended that documents without DOIs to be deposited in the repository that offer DOIs for documents you have deposited. There are several different types of repository that can host your research outputs depending upon your...

Den Kern der Studie "VERA - Gute Unterrichtspraxis" bildete eine umfangreiche Videostudie, umrahmt von zwei Leistungstestungen und einer ausführlichen schriftlichen Befragung der Teilnehmenden zu anderen Messzeiten. Im Zeitraum von Mai bis Juni 2006 wurde hierzu der Unterricht in den Fächern Mathematik und Deutsch gefilmt. Im Anschluss an jede Stunde wurden die Lehrkräfte und Schüler mittels eines einseitigen Kurzfragebogens zur Aufmerksamkeit, Verteilung der Sprechanteile und Schwierigkeit der Stunde befragt. Zum Abschluss des Videotags fand zudem ein...

Few artists outline their artistic development. In this unusual eBook, Rick Doble displays over 120 photographs -- from his earliest work to his latest -- that show how his photography changed and evolved with a variety of subjects such as portraits, figure studies and landscapes and a variety of film formats from 35mm to digital. At the end he offers a short autobiography to supplement the artwork.

Presentation to Boston Library Consortium Workshop, Boston, Nov 2015 The creation of an authoritative institutional data source requires a thorough understanding of the subject area, the adoption of effective processes, strong stakeholder communication and a comprehensive appreciation of available sources of supporting data. Faced with growing competition for future funding and increased calls to both disseminate and demonstrate the impact resulting from research activity carried out by their researchers, many research intensive institutions are now...

This animation demonstrates the tilting behaviour of Dirac cones as they transit along the edges of the Brillouin zone.

Tumor-specific expression of antitumor drugs can be achieved using attenuated Salmonella typhimurium harboring the PBAD promoter, which is induced by L-arabinose. However, L-arabinose does not accumulate because it is metabolized to D-xylulose-5-P by enzymes encoded by the ara operon in Salmonellae. To address this problem, we developed an engineered strain of S. typhimurium in which the ara operon is deleted. Linear DNA transformation was performed using λ red recombinase to exchange the ara operon with...

The research highlights that the natural way feedback network develop may not be the best one in terms of increasing the workforce’s employability. Specifically, while there is a tendency to ask people working in the same function, this does not always translate into receiving the most useful feedback. We challenge human resource managers to take a more active role in designing these feedback seeking activities and relationship.

General information on the ASIST SIGMet sponsored panel discussion with backchannel. To be able to adequately address the audience’s needs and give it a better chance of taking an active role in the panel discussion we invite ASIS&T AM attendees (and people who cannot attend) to get in touch with panelists, discuss aspects or post questions of general interest before the panel takes place. We hope that we can foster more audience-related discussions in Seattle...

The Population and Poverty (PopPov) Research Network brings together researchers who are examining how population dynamics affect economic outcomes, primarily in African countries. The overarching vision is one of a Network where results, methodological advances, and policy impacts are shared across research teams and eventually translated into policy recommendations. In this interview, PopPov researcher Joseph Babigumira of the University of Washington shares research findings on abortions in Uganda, which are a consequence of the high...

For over a decade, several states in India have offered financial incentives to discourage preference for sons and to encourage parents to invest in their daughters’ education and health. Nistha Sinha and Joanne Yoong of the World Bank evaluated Apni Beti Apna Dhan (“Our Daughter, Our Wealth”), one such program in the state of Haryana. The researchers analyzed statewide household survey data on fertility and child health in order to estimate the program’s impact on...

Ernesto Amaral discussed the influence of demographic transition on economic development in Brazil. Amaral is a professor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil. He received his Ph.D. in sociology with a concentration in demography from the University of Texas at Austin.

“Research Tools” can be defined as vehicles that broadly facilitate research and related activities. Scientific tools enable researchers to collect, organize, analyze, visualize and publicized research outputs. Dr. Nader has collected over 700 tools that enable students to follow the correct path in research and to ultimately produce high-quality research outputs with more accuracy and efficiency. It is assembled as an interactive Web-based mind map, titled “Research Tools”, which is updated periodically. “Research Tools” consists...
