Article Synopsis
- Over two decades, initiatives have aimed to enhance STEM undergraduate outcomes, with the inclusive Research Education Community (iREC) emerging as a scalable reform model that supports STEM faculty in implementing course-based research to improve student learning.
- This study utilized pathway modeling to describe the HHMI Science Education Alliance (SEA) iREC, identifying how faculty engagement leads to sustainable adoption and improvement of new teaching strategies through feedback from over 100 participating faculty members.
- The findings indicate that iREC fosters a collaborative environment where STEM faculty can share expertise and data, thereby enhancing their teaching practices and contributing to the overall evolution of undergraduate science education.
Article Synopsis
- Dubiaranea magatama is a newly described spider species found in Uruguay and southern Brazil, identified based on male and female specimens from native forests.
- The potential distribution for this species is modeled to primarily encompass the Pampean province and southern Atlantic Forest biome, influenced positively by factors like spatial location, proximity to large rivers, and tree cover.
- The researchers also updated records for Dubiaranea difficilis in Uruguay, creating a distribution model that indicates similar environmental influences, thus broadening its previously suggested distribution area.
Studies on the fecal microbiome of wild animals reveal valuable information on the feeding habits of the host and the possible roles of bacteria in digestion. In this work we characterized the fecal microbiota of seven male and seven female Myotis velifer bats using the V3-V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Fecal samples were collected at the El Salitre cave in Mexico.

GA and positive pressure ventilation (PPV) also depress cardiac function confounding the graft's functional assessment. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of cardiac function decline, going from the awake to the anesthetized state, and determine its association with anesthetic and patient-related factors.

Methods: MPER is based on pleural fluid Homocysteine (HCY) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) that were measured using three different methods. MPER was calculated by assessing a previously published probabilistic model: Probability (%) = 100× (1 + e-z)-1, where Z = 0.
