  The Genetic Relationship between Leaf Margin Regulation and Vascular Patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana

summary:
  Along with its specificity for plant kinases and its distinct sequences, this trait distinguishes ICK1 from animal CDK inhibitors, suggesting that ICK1 represents a divergence of plant cell cycle regulation from other eukaryotes. The final shape of the leaf is in part determined by varying rates of cell growth along the developmental axes (Kalve et al. 2014).

For once we divorce the caricatures of Antoinette which persist in our memory from the woman herself, we can begin the historical task of resurrecting Marie Antoinette the individual and, hopefully, dismantling the misogynistic paradigms which her sacrifice perpetuated.

summary:
  Agnew’s (1992) GST only looks at individual anger, and the instrument used to test anger management and leadership skills only contains two questions asking about personal leadership skill responses and four measures of anger about individual reactions. Because the study of the LIT model did not examine the influence of specific leadership skills and specific measures of anger, the exact effect of the LIT model on anger management is unable to be determined.

  Could technology in the classroom provide the means to a more egalitarian society?4 Does closing the achievement gap address the major arguments linking public education with democracy and democratic processes? My reflections on the educational philosophies of John Dewey and Paulo Freire shed light on the issues of educational (in)equality and the achievement gap in public education, and on genuine social (in)equality, of which educational (in) equality is one part.6 As debates about No Child Left Behind and the Common Core suggest, education reformers today are asking numerous questions: What is the best way to close the achievement gap?

  What You Call Yourself?: Nothingness, Naming, Abjection, and Queer Failure in Toni Morrison's Beloved

  Her master attempts to shame her for this choice, saying that “Mrs. Baby Suggs ain’t no name for a freed negro,” but how can he when she is the one acknowledging and existing in her own dehumanization and presenting to him her nameless nothingness as one of the consequences of slavery and his specific slave-owing? (167). Their chosen names “fail” in many ways, leading me to questions about how Baby Suggs and Stamp Paid resist a dominant narrative and instead find power in, as Jack Halberstam would say, “the refusal of legibility, and an art of unbecoming” (Halberstam 88).

Yet when the newly appointed governor Don Diego de Vargas returned to El Paso from his visit of Pueblo communities in 1692, the Cathedral of New Mexico’s bells announced to the people of New Spain what is widely known as the “Bloodless Reconquest.”3

  Aisthesis Volume 11, 202058 Two Poems by Annika Le Polydipsia Vietnamese words taste pickled in my mouth— saliva pools out from glands like rain gutters in a Saigon monsoon When I attempt to backbend my tongue into unfamiliar tones, my grandmother’s forehead furls into a question mark, and the uncles burst into contractions of synchronized laughter To me, the glyphs on letters look like ranges of mountains or falling tides that mimic the moon’s loop—they taste meaningless against my teeth On the Lunar holiday, we must wish New Year blessings in Vietnamese before she bestows the lucky red parcels— they sit under her elbow and against her ribs like armor: Chúc m!ng nm m#i What leaves my lips is a windstorm of whispers, misspelled mush, a lotus $ower without its seeds, my jaw now severed like the lost string of a guitar Again, the contractions of laughter, this time from the aunts and cousins, too—it descends from lips and pools on the tile I grab a sponge from the belly of the kitchen sink, and attempt to extract my mispronunciations from the $oorboards Plate of Plums Grandpa said to plant a plum pit and it will split the soil to sprout high Each evening, she cracks the blemished skin, gnaws away at yellow meat, and suckles the seed with her tongue till every pocket clears of $esh and it lays white like human bone in her palm With a toss, she whispers wishes and the ferns tuck the pit away into their pockets In early mornings, she checks her plot of land as though it’s a wristwatch but all that’s new are dabs of dew on grass blades from the sleeptalk of clouds.

  A Fusing of Horizons: Approaching Rosenberg’s “American Action Painters” Through a Hermeneutical Lens

summary:
  Although Harold Rosenberg is not credited within main hermeneutic publications, his argument of “painting as event” presents a perspective on one’s encounter with art common with the progression of literary hermeneutical thought.1 By analyzing Rosenberg’s “American Action Painters” through hermeneutic and constructivist literary theories, one can #nd relevancy of Rosenberg’s work in the present day and in the work of literary criticism and theory. O!en, Rosenberg’s “American Action Painters” is viewed without the addition of an audience, but Christa Robbins argues that Rosenberg’s “American Action Painters” should be viewed within the habituses of socio-political thought Rosenberg was inherently a part of and the audiences he commonly interacted with.

  Enhancing Melatonin Secretion: The Methodical Consumption of Tryptophan from Whole Cow’s Milk to Regulate Sleep Quality in Individuals Aged 18-30 with Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder

summary:
  Changes in Sleep Quality rough Chrono- nutrition Because research suggests that the e!ectiveness of dietary components can be associated with intake time, then milk consumed within 2 hours of a DSPD patient’s desired sleep time could yield a net improvement in sleep quality and morning functionality on the following day because of the patient’s susceptibility to changes in bodily hormones. Studies on chrono-nutrition indicate that dietary components absorbed by the bloodstream can alter the circadian schedule of melatonin secretion from the pineal gland, and the timed consumption of tryptophan-abundant foods, such as whole cow’s milk, can consequently spike melatonin levels before a DSPD patient’s desired sleep time and promote circadian rhythm advancement.
