No Welcome Mat, No Problem?: Federal-Question Jurisdiction after Grable
No full textFor nearly 20 years, the Supreme Court’s federal-question jurisprudence was muddied after the Court’s decision in Merrell-Dow. Last term, the Court issued a much-needed clarification in Grable. But that clarification needs clarification. In this Article, Professor Ryan endeavors to provide a candid synthesis of what the law is after Grable. While this area is rich with debate about what the law should be, a candid post-Grable synthesis is needed both to guide courts and to provide a common ground for these debates. Even such a modest task, however, is formidable. Federal-question jurisdiction is not a concept that can be viewed without its historical and theoretical underpinnings. And a bald reading of Grable does not reveal the nuances that exist, as many years of precedent have been synthesized into a new test. Professor Ryan traces the evolution of the meaning of the words “arising under” in the federal-question statute up to and through Grable and analyzes the new test in light of history, evolution, and policy
Nearly optimal distributed edge colouring in O(log log n) rounds
No full textAn extremely simple distributed randomized algorithm is presented which with high probability properly edge colours a given graph using (1+ ")\Delta colours, where \Delta is the maximum degree of the graph and " is any given positive constant. The algorithm is very fast. In particular, for graphs with sufficiently large vertex degrees (larger than polylog n, but smaller than any positive power of n), the algorithm requires only O(log log n) communication rounds. The algorithm is inherently distributed, but can be implemented on the PRAM, where it requires O(m\Delta) processors and O(log \Delta log log n) time, or in a sequential setting, where it requires O(m\Delta) time. 1 Introduction The edge colouring problem is a much studied problem in the theory of algorithms, graph theory, and combinatorics, whose relevance to computer science stems from its applications to scheduling and resource allocation problems [6, 11, 14, 17, 19, 12, 24, among others]. Given an input graph, the problem ..

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

The effectiveness of portfolios in assessing students' connections between mathematical symbols and mathematical concepts

Please report any quality issues you encounter to [email protected], referencing the URI of the item.Includes bibliographical references.Issued also on microfiche from Lange Micrographics.The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of mathematics portfolios in determining the type of connections students were making between mathematical concepts and mathematical symbols. A mathematics portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work where a variety of assignments, projects, reports, and writings are collected that exhibit the students' efforts, progress, and achievements in one or more areas of mathematics. This study evaluated portfolios collected from 5th grade mathematics classes taught by the researcher. The regular class consisted of twenty students while the advanced class consisted of twenty-five students. This study compared responses to a ten-item student survey given at the beginning and the end of the school year. Student responses were evaluated according to the degree of change between their beginning response and their ending response and the results were compared between the classes. The study looked for evidence of connections in student writings by evaluating common components of student work found in the portfolios. Ten student portfolios were randomly selected from the total pool of portfolios. Each portfolio selected was evaluated using the "Student Writing Scale" instrument. The study compared student portfolios to determine if the use of symbols in student writing was evidence that students were making mathematical connections. Portfolios rated as having "high-levels" of connections were compared with those rated as having "low-levels" of connections. The findings on the student survey showed a significant difference in the amount of change from the beginning to the end of the year between the regular class and the advanced class on 2 of the 10 questions. Seven of the 10 portfolios were rated as "developing", 2 portfolios were rated as "understanding and applying", and I portfolio was rated "not understanding." The study also revealed three components of student writing which illustrated that mathematical connections were being made. The study also showed a connection between the use of symbols in student writing and an understanding of those symbols. Findings of this study suggest that portfolios offer valuable insight into the learners head enabling the instructor to determine if connections are being made between symbols and concepts
The metabolism of butyrate, glucose and glutamine in colonic epithelial cell lines
No full textDue to the character of the original source materials and the nature of batch digitization, quality control issues may be present in this document. Please report any quality issues you encounter to [email protected], referencing the URI of the item.Includes bibliographical references: p. 50-57.Issued also on microfiche from Lange Micrographics.In order to delay the onset and advancement of cancer, this research focused on inspecting the utilization, interaction, and fate of metabolic substrates normally obtained either from colonic bacteria, i.e. short chain fatty acids such as butyrate, or from metabolic substrates derived from the blood circulation to the colonic mucosa, i.e. glucose and glutamine. These experiments determined if butyrate, being growth inhibitory in colon cancer cells, also interferes with the metabolism of other metabolic substrates, such as glucose and glutamine. The cell line FRC/TEX/CLD, CL4D, provided by Dr. Summerhayes (Harvard University), derived from fetal rat colon, and two tumorigenic daughter cell lines, RAS and SRC, are used to examine the effects of butyrate (0, 0. 1, 1, 3 mM) on the rates of oxidation and lipogenesis from [1-14 C] butyrate, [6-14C] glucose, and [14C] glutamine. In addition, the rate of ketogenesis from butyrate, the rate of lactate formation from glucose, and the rate of macromolecular synthesis from [14C] glutamine and [3H] leucine are measured. Butyrate suppresses growth, proliferation, DNA and protein synthesis in transformed colonic cells; however, these effects are not observed in normal colonic cells. Butyrate and glutamine are the major respiratory fuels for all three colonic cell lines. The rate of butyrate oxidation occurs in a dose dependent manner, while chronically inhibiting the rate of glutamine oxidation. Glycolysis is the major pathway accounting for glucose disappearance, with the addition of butyrate increasing glucose oxidation and lactate production. Both acutely and chronically, butyrate proceeds through the TCA cycle at very high rates, producing a reduced NAD/NADH redox environment. Acutely, increased rates of glutamine proceeds through the TCA cycle to provide TCA cycle intermediates. However, chronically, due to the reduced NAD/NADH environment, the rate that glutamine proceeds through the TCA cycle is significantly suppressed. Given that glutamine no longer provides the anaeploric effect, there are increased rates of glucose oxidation for more TCA cycle intermediates. The high rate of lactate production could perhaps compensate for the chronic inhibition of glutamine, and lack of ATP production
