Colors versus Shapes by M. Boldt
No full textBoldt, Mike. Colors versus Shapes. New York: Harper Collins, 2014. Print.Mike Boldt, a local Alberta author/illustrator, creates a carefully scripted theatrical scene in which colours and shapes vie to be the main character or star in a new book hosted by the characters from his first book, 123 versus ABC. The interplay between the colours and shapes is witty, entertaining and educational. Mike Boldt presents the dialogue in colored speech balloons, which allows for a great read aloud experience for the young audience which it is intended. A further benefit of this fun picture book is the introduction and explanation of the mixing of colours and the difference of shapes. This feature makes this book an excellent tool for young students to learn how primary colors combine to make secondary and tertiary colors. Additionally, it enables students to discover the names of different 2D shapes as the shapes morph through the addition of sides. Bantering and competition heat things up until both groups learn that working together is much more productive than working apart. Children will enjoy exploring the final product of such creative collaboration.In all, Colors versus Shapes is a fun educational picture book, full of colourfully illustrated pages with the theme of friendship as a the final lesson to be learned. Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 stars.Reviewer: Kelly Maxwel

NH4+ conductance inxXenopus laevis oocytes. III. Effect of NH3
No full textExposure of Xenopus laevis oocytes to NH4Cl caused intracellular acidification, cell membrane depolarization and the generation of an inward current. To determine the contribution of uncharged NH3 and positively charged NH4+, the NH4Cl-induced inward current was measured in the presence of increasing [NH3] at constant [NH4Cl] (10 mM) or increasing [NH4Cl] at constant [NH3] (0.045 mM) with pH varying in both cases. At -70 mV, the NH4Cl-induced current was barely detectable at pH 6.5, 0.01 mM NH3, but increased successively at pH 7.5, 0.1 mM NH3 and pH 8.5, 1 mM NH3. In contrast, NH4Cl-associated currents were independent of changes of the [NH4Cl] at constant [NH3] and variable pH. Similar results with respect to acidification, depolarization and inward current in response to concentration and pH changes were obtained with trimethylamine HCl. Increasing concentrations of the weak acid propionate led to a reduction of the NH4Cl-induced current. These data suggest that NH3 entry may induce local alkalinization that, in turn, may trigger the opening of a conductance for NH4+ or trimethylamine-H+ entry

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
