Building in room to fail : learning through play in an undergraduate course

Creator:: Gascho Rempel, Hannah
Abstract:: True learning happens when we try new things - when we practice something, see how it goes, and then try it again. Pedagogical practices that encourage metacognition and active reflection are built on this premise. But these practices take time, and university instructors are pressured to cover as much content...

Offspring of first-generation hatchery steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) grow faster in the hatchery than offspring of wild fish, but survive worse in the wild: Possible mechanisms for inadvertent domestication and fitness loss in hatchery salmon

Creator:: Blouin, Michael S., Wrey, Madeleine C., Bollmann, Stephanie R., Skaar, James C., Twibell, Ronald G., and Fuentes, Claudio
Abstract:: Salmonid fish raised in hatcheries often have lower fitness (number of returning adult offspring) than wild fish when both spawn in the wild. Body size at release from hatcheries is positively correlated with survival at sea. So one explanation for reduced fitness is that hatcheries inadvertently select for trait values...

A broad-spectrum cloning vector that exists as both an integrated element and a free plasmid in Chlamydia trachomatis

Creator:: Garvin, Lotisha, Vande Voorde, Rebecca, Dickinson, Mary, Carrell, Steven, Hybiske, Kevin, and Rockey, Daniel
Abstract:: Plasmid transformation of chlamydiae has created new opportunities to investigate host–microbe interactions during chlamydial infections; however, there are still limitations. Plasmid transformation requires a replicon derived from the native Chlamydia plasmid, and these transformations are species-specific. We explored the utility of a broad host-range plasmid, pBBR1MCS-4, to transform chlamydiae, with...

Distrust within protected area and natural resource management: A systematic review protocol

Creator:: Erickson, Brian D. and Biedenweg, Kelly
Abstract:: Trust is a key variable for successful natural resource management and is commonly the focus of conceptual and methodological development.

Temporally balanced selection during development of larval Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) inherently preserves genetic diversity within offspring

Creator:: Durland, Evan, De Wit, Pierre, and Langdon, Chris
Abstract:: Balancing selection is one of the mechanisms which has been proposed to explain the maintenance of genetic diversity in species across generations. For species with large populations and complex life histories, however, heterogeneous selection pressures may create a scenario in which the net effects of selection are balanced across developmental...

Dielectric Engineering Boosts the Efficiency of Carbon Nanotube Photodiodes

Creator:: Senger, Mitchell J., Kefayati, Ali, Bertoni, Andrea, Perebeinos, Vasili, and Minot, Ethan D.
Abstract:: Carbon nanotube (CNT) photodiodes are a promising system for high-efficiency photocurrent generation due to the strong Coulomb interactions that can drive carrier multiplication. If the Coulomb interactions are too strong, however, exciton formation can hamper photocurrent generation. Here, we explore, experimentally and theoretically, the effect of the environmental dielectric constant...
