Complete genome sequences of bacteriophages Guetzie and SirVictor, isolated from .

Cluster EA4 Guetzie and SirVictor are lytic siphoviral bacteriophages that were isolated from soil in Waverly, Iowa, using NRRL B-24224 as the host. The Guetzie and SirVictor genomes are both 39,758 bp each, and both contain 58 predicted protein-coding genes with one tRNA gene each.

From triple quandary to talent quest: The past, present, and future of A. Wade Boykin's contributions to psychology.

A. Wade Boykin's scholarship has provided key insights into the psychological realities of racially minoritized people and catalyzed revolutionary changes in psychology and education. Combining insights from personal and research experiences, Boykin authored the foundational triple quandary (TQ), a framework describing how Black Americans must navigate the often conflicting values and priorities of dominant mainstream society, the heritage culture of Black communities, and dynamics associated with being racially minoritized.

Models of Classroom Assessment for Course-Based Research Experiences.

Course-based research pedagogy involves positioning students as contributors to authentic research projects as part of an engaging educational experience that promotes their learning and persistence in science. To develop a model for assessing and grading students engaged in this type of learning experience, the assessment aims and practices of a community of experienced course-based research instructors were collected and analyzed. This approach defines four aims of course-based research assessment - 1) Assessing Laboratory Work and Scientific Thinking; 2) Evaluating Mastery of Concepts, Quantitative Thinking and Skills; 3) Appraising Forms of Scientific Communication; and 4) Metacognition of Learning - along with a set of practices for each aim.

Genome Sequence and Characteristics of the Microbacterium foliorum Cluster EE Bacteriophage Burgy.

Burgy is a siphovirus that was isolated from compost soil near Fremont Township, Iowa, using Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224. The genome has a length of 17,453 bp and contains 25 total protein-coding genes, 20 of which were assigned functions. Based on gene content, Burgy was assigned to actinobacteriophage cluster EE.

This preliminary study explored the cultural socialization processes of 227 African American and European American parents of elementary schoolchildren. The Cultural Value Socialization Scales (K. M.

Oxidant-specific folding of Yap1p regulates both transcriptional activation and nuclear localization.

The yeast transcriptional regulator Yap1p is a key determinant in oxidative stress resistance. This protein is found in the cytoplasm under non-stressed conditions but rapidly accumulates in the nucleus following oxidant exposure. There it activates transcription of genes encoding antioxidants that return the redox balance of the cell to an acceptable range.
