Full text link2025 SAU Annual Meeting Report: Unraveling the Molecular Complexities of Urologic Malignancies
Full text linkThe 2025 Society of Academic Urologists (SAU) annual meeting was held during Jun 15-18, 2025, and showcased the latest discoveries in urologic oncology with a particular emphasis on prostate cancer biology, epigenetic regulation, immunotherapy, and novel therapeutic targets. Featuring an exceptional lineup of keynote speakers, scientific symposia, and interactive forums, the meeting provided a dynamic platform for the exchange of ideas among researchers, clinicians, and trainees dedicated to advancing urologic science and improving patient outcomes
A Collaborative Approach to Designing a Unified Competency Framework for Early Childhood Educator Preparation and Workforce Equity in Nebraska
Full text linkAddressing workforce shortages among early childhood professionals is a nationwide dilemma, impacting access to quality affordable care and education for young children. Recognizing that this shortage is exacerbated by inaccessible and inequitable credentialing pathways, a statewide coalition of institutions formed the [project blinded for review] to enhance flexibility and accessibility across teacher preparation programs. Leveraging competency-based education tenets as the foundation of quality teacher preparation programs, the first aim of this project was to develop a shared competency-based framework defining common expectations for educator preparation, credentialing, and licensing across early childhood settings. This paper describes the procedures and processes utilized to collaboratively design a common competency framework to facilitate transferability of credits, credit for prior learning, and student and career advancement, with strategic emphasis on enhancing cultural sustainability and supporting diverse racial and ethnic representation among workforce professionals. Procedural stages included the identification and integration of multiple competency frameworks using qualitative methods and tools to synthesize and analyze frameworks for a final set of competencies, informed by input and feedback from professionals, institutions of higher education, community members, and field experts. Recommendations for future initiatives are included
Geology and Ground-Water Resources of Allen County, Kansas
Full text linkAllen County lies within the Osage Plains section of the Central Lowlands physiographic province and includes an area of about 504 square miles. Rocks above the Precambrian basement have an average thickness of about 2,000 feet and are all sedimentary in origin. The consolidated deposits range in age from Cambrian through Pennsylvanian, and the unconsolidated deposits range in age from probable Tertiary through Quaternary. Only rocks of Pennsylvanian, Tertiary(?), and Quaternary age are exposed in the county. The exposed Pennsylvanian rocks have a regional dip to the northwest of about 12 to 15 feet per mile.
The most important bedrock aquifers are the shallow Pennsylvanian limestones and sandstones that have been weathered along joints, fractures, and bedding planes. Potable ground water is usually not found in the county below the base of the Kansas City Group, and in many places the boundary between fresh and saline water is much higher in the stratigraphic section.
Alluvial deposits having an average thickness of about 25 feet in the Neosho River valley should yield 10 to 100 gallons per minute of ground water to wells. Where saturated, Illinoisan terrace deposits should yield moderate amounts of water to wells. In much of the valley, semi-artesian or artesian conditions probably prevail owing to a confining silt which overlies the permeable gravels.
Water from the Quaternary deposits is of good quality but is usually very hard. Water derived from shallow bedrock aquifers is generally higher in dissolved solids content and hardness than water from the Quaternary deposits
New record of the American Bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeianus (Shaw 1802), in Loja, Ecuador
Full text linkVector meson production using the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation including the dipole orientation
Full text linkIn this proceedings a solution of the target-rapidity Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation is presented considering the complete impact-parameter dependence, including the orientation of the dipole with respect to the impact-parameter vector. The target-rapidity formulation of the BK equation introduces non-locality in rapidity. Three different prescriptions are considered to take into account the rapidities preceding the initial condition. The solutions are used to compute the structure functions of the proton and the diffractive photo- and electro-production of off protons. The predictions agree well with HERA data, confirming that the target-rapidity Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with the full impact-parameter dependence is a viable tool to study the small Bjorken- limit of perturbative QCD at current facilities like RHIC and LHC as well as in future colliders like the EIC
