RNaseH-mediated simultaneous piggyback knockdown of multiple genes in adult zebrafish (open access)

RNaseH-mediated simultaneous piggyback knockdown of multiple genes in adult zebrafish

This article tests if it is possible to piggyback more than one antisense deoxyoligonucleotide (dO) with one vivo morpholino (VMO). The authors previously developed a piggyback knockdown method that was used to knockdown genes in adult zebrafish. In this article, the authors develop a method to knockdown three genes at one time, and by increasing the concentration of VMO by twofold, could knockdown six genes simultaneously. These multiple gene knockdowns will not only increase the efficiency of the method in whole genome-wide knockdowns but will also be useful to study multifactorial disorders.

A Signature Assignment Puts Vegetables on the Line (open access)

A Signature Assignment Puts Vegetables on the Line

This is an unpublished manuscript that delves into the use of Signature Assignments (SAs) which are real-world applications that embed curriculum learning objectives in routine classwork and facilitate assessment of outcomes across classes and disciplines. SAs tied to key learning objectives demonstrate student growth and reveal areas where instructional improvement might be needed. Additionally, SAs tied to curriculum objectives contribute to program and university understanding of teaching strategies that promote student success.

Thermal Stress Has Minimal Effects on Bacterial Communities of Thermotolerant Symbiodinium Cultures (open access)

Thermal Stress Has Minimal Effects on Bacterial Communities of Thermotolerant Symbiodinium Cultures

Article comparing the microbial communities of three isolates from different species of the genus Symbiodinium (formerly known as Symbiodinium clade A) with different ecophysiology, levels of interaction with the animal host, and thermal adaptations. Results suggest that bacteria associated or co-cultured with thermotolerant Symbiodinium might play an important role in thermotolerance.

Uncovering whiteness as discourse: A critical discourse analysis of the in-state resident tuition debate for undocumented students in Texas (open access)

Uncovering whiteness as discourse: A critical discourse analysis of the in-state resident tuition debate for undocumented students in Texas

This article addresses the in-state resident tuition (ISRT) debate for undocumented college students in Texas and analyzes the implicit and explicit messages communicated in the policy and surrounding policy discourse. It uses a conceptual framework grounded in three constructs of critical whiteness studies including ontological expansiveness, color evasiveness, and individualization.

Using representational and abstract imagery to createregulatory fit effects (open access)

Using representational and abstract imagery to createregulatory fit effects

Article asserts that visual imagery is one of the most important methods of communicating with consumers, but scholars have generally neglected the role of different forms of visual imagery (representational and abstract). The authors demonstrate that prevention-focused versus promotion-focused mindsets guide the interpretation of meanings conveyed by representational versus abstract visual imagery as a nonverbal means to achieve regulatory fit.

When expectation fails and motivation prevails: the mediating role of awareness in bridging the expectancy-capability gap in mobile identity protection (open access)

When expectation fails and motivation prevails: the mediating role of awareness in bridging the expectancy-capability gap in mobile identity protection

Article describes how identity theft poses a significant threat to mobile users, yet mobile identity protection is often overlooked in cybersecurity literature. This study adopts a mixed-methods approach and draws on expectancy-value theory to address these gaps and explore the impact of expectations, capabilities, motivational values, technical measures, and awareness on individuals' intentions to achieve mobile identity protection.
