Marine natural products possess an abundance of diverse chemical scaffolds with unique biological activities. By targeting unusual or unique microbial environments within varying marine ecologies we can continue to discover novel chemistry with potentially new molecular targets. The research presented here is focused on exploring unusual chemical ecologies and the...

From 1996 to 2006, the number of Asian female college students increased 55.3%, from 13,184 to 20,477. The number of Asian male students increased 48.9%, from 9,731 to...
The histone modifying complexes PRC2 and TrxG/MLL play pivotal roles in determining the activation state of genes controlling pluripotency, lineage commitment, and cell differentiation. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can bind to either complex, and some have been shown to act as modulators of PRC2 or TrxG/MLL activity. Here we show...
Given the high probability of national and federal research laboratories continuing to sponsor science education partnerships between their staff and classroom science teachers and the dearth of research in this area, this study set out to delineate best practices associated with such partnerships for the purpose of increasing the effectiveness...
The purpose of this study was to describe the presidential search process at a
newly created community college and to learn how that process reflected the
emerging organizational culture. A single research question guided the inquiry: How
did the presidential search process at a newly created community college reflect the...
The purpose of this study is to explore gender differences in adult
perceptions of sexual abuse encounters between an adult male and
children of both genders and of various ages. Subjects were four hundred
and fifty three students from a northwestern university. They were recruited
from a lower-level human development...
The aims of physical education in Ghana include developing personal qualities
such as competence in students and generating interest in physical education and sports
(Ghana Education Service, [GES], 1987). The GES has also reiterated the need to have
competent teachers in the implementation of the school physical education syllabus;
therefore...
Parenting education is a process of providing information to parents on the
challenges of parenting, services available for families, and ideas on how to interact with
children. The federal Even Start family literacy program, designed to increase the
educational opportunities of parents and children, has a strong parenting education
component....
Children in middle childhood were surveyed in elementary schools
to explore possible associations between their perceptions about certain
characteristics of their sibling relationships and the ways in which
their parents responded to sibling quarrels.
An instrument was developed to measure perceptions of types of parental responses and the
Sibling Relationship...
