Critical consciousness of anti-Black racism: A practical model to prevent and resist racial trauma.

The negative impacts of racism, including experiences of racial trauma, are well documented (e.g., Bryant-Davis & Ocampo, 2006; Carter, 2007).

Profile of incarcerated juveniles: comparison of male and female offenders.

Effective methods of identifying potential juvenile offenders are critical when developing prevention programs within both state and national juvenile justice systems. The characteristics of juvenile offenders in a large juvenile justice system are examined in this study. Participants live in a Midwestern city with a high rate of crime as indicated by federal standards.

Convergence of RNA cis elements and cellular polyadenylation factors in the regulation of human cytomegalovirus UL37 exon 1 unspliced RNA production.

The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL36-38 immediate early (IE) locus encodes proteins required for its growth. The UL37 promoter drives production of an unspliced and several alternatively spliced RNAs. The UL37 exon 1 (UL37x1) unspliced RNA is abundant from IE to late times of HCMV infection, whereas the UL37 spliced RNAs are markedly less abundant.

Human cytomegalovirus UL37 immediate early target minigene RNAs are accurately spliced and polyadenylated.

The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL36-38 immediate early (IE) locus encodes proteins required for virus growth. The UL37 IE promoter drives production of differentially spliced and unspliced RNAs. To study their post-transcriptional processing, we generated target minigenes encoding each UL37 RNA splicing substrate.
