Berman's Chosen
Recent rumblings about the reinstatement of the program to monitor the science-made werewolves have turned out to be true and closer than anyone thought. But it turns out they are only after certain members.
Jack, the pack F Alpha, is unwillingly on the sidelines as the world around him began to unravel, mostly at the hands of one of his closest friends. Now a new secret she has kept for decades has come to light, one that not only rocks the werewolf world from within, but broadens it to a bigger and more dangerous playing field than he could have ever imagined.
The ICAP Active Learning Framework Predicts the Learning Gains Observed in Intensely Active Classroom Experiences
STEM classrooms (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in postsecondary education are rapidly improved by the proper use of active learning techniques. These techniques occupy a descriptive spectrum that transcends passive teaching toward active, constructive, and, finally, interactive methods. While aspects of this framework have been examined, no large-scale or actual classroom-based data exist to inform postsecondary education STEM instructors about possible learning gains.
SCPP genes in the coelacanth: tissue mineralization genes shared by sarcopterygians
The coelacanth is the basal-most extant sarcopterygian that has teeth and tooth-like structures, comprising bone, dentin, and enamel or enameloid. Formation of these tissues involves many members of the secretory calcium-binding protein (SCPP) family. In tetrapods, acidic-residue-rich SCPPs are used in mineralization of bone and dentin, whereas Pro/Gln-rich SCPPs participate in enamel formation. Teleosts also employ many SCPPs for tissue mineralization.
