Performance block is a blanket term that research is trying to propose to replace sport specific terms such as yips, mental block, or lost move syndrome. Though symptoms may present slightly different...

Comparing the effects of a percent based training program against a velocity based training program on the outcomes of strength, power and speed. Also assessing the reliability of load-velocity...

Acrolein is an efficient agricultural herbicide within irrigation canal ditches and a biocide within oilfield water-flood systems. The fate of acrolein is typically attributed to evaporation, however...

The objective of this study was to determine transfer frequencies of multidrug resistance plasmids under different conjugation conditions: liquid cultures, batch biofilms, and drip-flow biofilms...

Macrophages are a type of immune cell present in the tumor micro environment that can be polarized by the cancer cells to aid in the growth and proliferation of the tumor. The goal of this study was...

The oncoprotein E7 coded for by the human papillomavirus (HPV) is known to degrade the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein (pRb). Transient transfections of a plasmid coding for the E7 protein...

This study investigated the use of biological concept cartoons in discussions as a strategy to actively engage low performing (LP) seventh grade students to stimulate the formation of more...

In this study, the quality of small group discussions stimulated by concept cartoons on the topic of cell division was examined in a class of sixteen high school agriculture biology students. Two...

The purpose of this study was to determine the existence of high school students’ alternative conceptions regarding stem cells, and explore the underlying themes and contexts of these conceptions...

The conceptual Inventory of Natural Selection was first published in 2002 (Anderson & Fisher, 2002). Recent research by Nehm & Schonfeld (2008) has raised concern as to whether or not the Conceptual...

Disciplines such as law, business, and medicine have used case studies for decades to teach students about their field through comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation skills...

The Conceptual Inventory of Natural Selection (CINS) developed by Dianne Anderson and Kathleen Fisher is a valuable tool to measure how well college students understand natural selection. However...

Because students in middle school through high school demonstrate persistent alternative conceptions regarding atoms and cells and their functional relationships, it is important to investigate ways...

Although the use of technology in biological career paths is increasing globally, studies indicate that United States undergraduate biology students are not prepared for this technologically advanced...

Concepts in evolution are introduced at the middle school level, but are taught in more depth at the high school level. Students come in with prior conceptions of evolution that influence student...

Although many teachers consider dissection an important educational tool, it is mainly used to reinforce information previously gained by studying anatomy and physiology. Rarely is inquiry-based...

In this study a design-based research approach was applied in the creation of a data-rich problem (DRP) task intended to improve student achievement in cellular respiration at the ecosystem level; an...

Higher education science researchers have postulated that understanding variation is a threshold concept in biology. Variation is evident in all living organisms yet is often overlooked as important...

In this study, a design-based research approach was used in the creation of data-rich problem (DRP) tasks intended to support students constructing knowledge about food webs and ecosystem dynamics...

Bacteriophage λ procapsids as effective drug transporters provide promising means of patient care and treatment within the medical field with implications in targeted drug delivery. The 3D icosahedral...

The purpose of this paper was to examine the long term consequences of repeated brain injury through a cadaveric dissection. For this literature review, the limbic system will be the anatomical...

Gastropod Ifremeria nautilei was collected at deep-sea hydrothermal vents at the underwater Mata Volcanoes near Tonga to investigate gene flow and population structure between and within vent...

Bacteriophage Lambda is a complex virus containing a capsule-like structure known as a procapsid. In a lab setting, plasmids are used to synthesize these structures, but previous experimentation has...

With the fast-paced evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria around the globe comes the emergence of novel genes which confer these resistances, usually located on supplemental DNA known as plasmids...

There are four species within the genus Tapirus: Tapirus bairdii (Baird’s tapir), Tapirus indicus (Malayan tapir), Tapirus terrestris (Brazilian tapir), and Tapirus pinchaque (Mountain tapir). Tapirs...
