Managing a developmental studies program: an exploratory case study
… in the evolution of a selected community college developmental studies program. The particular program selected was characterized by many of the features identified by Roueche, Kirk, and Snow (Roueche and Kirk, 1973; Roueche and Snow, 1977) as important to program success. Features examined in …

Phylogenetic and developmental studies into the evolution of an insect novelty
… described. The rest of the thesis addresses the developmental changes underlying the evolution of the intercalary segment. Almost everything that is known about the development of this segment in the insects comes from Drosophila. However, it is not clear exactly what constitutes the segment in …

Hepatic 5'deiodinase activity of Japanese quail using reverse-T2 as substrate: assay validation, characterization, and developmental studies
… substrate (T",) concentrations, influenced 5'0 studies we reevaluated 5'0 development using our assay validated for each developmental stage. We found extreme quantitative differences in the activities measured and in the proportional relationships among stages; and only limited qualitative …

Influences of an integrated teaching model and selected background characteristics on developmental studies student achievement in a community college
… was considered a key element in the retention of developmental studies students in open-access community colleges. Since standard instructional efforts to remedy basic skill deficiencies have yielded inconsistent results, an integrated teaching model was introduced. It was believed that the …

A description of the effectiveness of a developmental studies supplemental orientation program in changing specific attitudes of high risk community college students
… of this study was to determine what effect a developmental studies supplemental orientation program had on high-risk community college students' attitudes toward (a) academic achievement; (b) receiving needed individual help to reach personal goals, (c) peer social acceptance, (d) the …

Understanding Death in Cultural Context: A Study of Mexican Children and Their Families
… informed by concepts and methods from clinical studies of bereavement, cognitive developmental studies of children's concepts of death, and studies of socialization and development in cultural context. Accordingly, the study drew upon an innovative combination of methods: participant observation …

Morphology, phylogeny, and evolutionary development in the weevils (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
… remain active, and (to date) few phylogenetic studies have focused on weevils and their relatives (Curculionoidea), all utilizing few taxa (~150 taxa), leaving knowledge of weevil relationships scanty at best. In this study, the densest taxon sampling to date was implemented, consisting of 282 …

The development of interpersonal distance in children and adolescents
… healthy development has been well established. Developmental studies indicate that by kindergarten age, children are playing cooperatively with each other. It was expected, then, that the younger children would maintain a close physical relationship with their peers, with this distance widening …

Double-stranded RNA uptake in Caenorhabditis elegans
… small RNA and transcriptome profiling with developmental studies I identified a novel role for systemic RNAi in worm morphology. A detailed phenotypical analysis ruled out a nutritional role for dsRNA uptake, implying that environmental RNA uptake affects morphology through gene regulation. …

Blueberry Fruit Development and Splitting
… profit loss of up to 20% ($300- $500 per acre). Studies of this phenomenon in other thin-skinned, soft, fleshy fruit showed that no single or set of related physiological or anatomical property explained splitting. Similar research on blueberry fruit was inconclusive, thus a different approach …

I Am See-Through: Participatory Video Making As A Method For Social Change In The Mississippi Delta
… including radical documentary filmmaking, visual studies, developmental studies, and emerging social media studies. Over the years, a number of programs have adopted participatory video to work with young people living in marginalized communities, to provoke youth civic engagement and to provide a …

Role taking ability and social interaction competence in mental retardation and autism
… ability has been examined in many ways including developmental studies with normal subjects and studies which demonstrated role taking deficits in a variety of special populations. Recent data suggest that individuals with autism also show such deficits when compared to nonautistic mentally …

Neuromeric organization of the midbrain-hindbrain boundary region in zebrafish
… is still controversial, with some very recent studies supporting the existence of a lineage boundary between the mesencephalon and metencephalon and others rejecting this. Here, I present data strongly supporting the existence of a compartment boundary between the posterior midbrain and …

THE OXYTRICHINA JANKOWSKI, 1980: MORPHOLOGY, MORPHOGENESIS, AND SYSTEMATICS (SPORADOTRICHINA, CILIPHORA, CYST)
… ambiguous taxon. A lack of ultrastructural and developmental information on a variety of oxytrichine species resulted in the establishment of multiple and disparate systematic categorizations for these species. I chose 8 species for morphologic and developmental studies: Oxytricha fallax, …

MECHANOBIOLOGICAL REGULATION OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVE MORPHOGENESIS
… Using an osmotic stress method novel to valve developmental studies, we have identified unique roles for tensile and compressive stresses in directing valve remodeling and sizing through changes in proliferation and cell contractility. Using in silico systems biology methods and in vitro …

Engineering Complex Kidney Structures for Disease Modelling, Drug Testing, and Studying Kidney Development
… steps of UB morphogenesis. Exploiting these developmental capacities, we used tubules to identify a novel growth factor combination that induces budding events in a way comparable to mouse embryonic kidneys and that may therefore be involved in human UB development. Observing a marked …

Germline development in Platynereis dumerilii and its connection to embryonic patterning
… system that is well suitable for comparative developmental studies across Bilateria. In the first section, I describe the germline development of Platynereis with the help of several molecular germline markers, including vasa, nanos and par-1. This analysis revealed that the primordial germ …
