Caught in the Current: A Self-Study of State-Mandated Compliance in a Teacher Education Program
No full textThis qualitative self-study examines the impact of California???s state-mandated revision of teacher education programs on a department???s???and individual faculty members??????approach to teacher education. In spite of claims by respondents that this process had little impact on their approach to teaching, the authors??? analysis of interview and conversational data and documents suggests otherwise. Faculty members??? increased use of technocratic language and terminology reflecting compliance with the new state standards reveals a substantive shift in the ways they think about what they do

Diplomatic visits of commodore M. Perry to Liu Chui island in 1852 and 1853 and its international repercussions
No full textThe article highlights the diplomatic mission of the American Commodore M. Perry to Liu Chui Islands, during the large-scale military expedition of the US Navy Fleet to Japan in 1852 – 1853. The publication of official documents related to the mission of M. Perry, memoirs and travel notes of the members` of that expedition were used as the information source. The author believes that the main purpose of Perry’s visit to Liu Chui Island was dictated by the desire to open the Island to American trade, and in the prospect, to bring the Island into subjection of the US protectorate. Perry has used a range of methods to implement these tasks, from pure diplomacy to direct pressure using the armed assault. As a result, the Commodore succeeded, and the Island, despite the protests of the local authorities in 1853, was opened to foreign trade. This action allowed US to become the second of the most powerful countries in East Asia after the United Kingdom. The process of establishing the contacts between the leader of the expedition and the local authorities of the Island has been examined, as well as the conducted negotiations during the first (1852) and second (1853) Perry`s visits to the capital of the archipelago – the city of Nappa, which resulted in opening this Island to Western trade. For a long time the local governor has been dragging out the negotiations process, but he had to agree to the US’ terms, after the US marines seized his palace up. The United States had an opportunity to trade on Liu Chui Island, purchase the coal for their ships, so as they got freedom of movement across its territory. However, after two decades, the United States abandoned the claims to the Islands. The reasons for this are to be investigated by the author in his following research works

The streamwise turbulence intensity in the intermediate layer of high Reynolds turbulent pipe flow
No full textA modification of the Townsend-Perry attached eddy model is derived in order to reproduce a more realistic variation of the integral length scale. A new wavenumber range is introduced to the model at wavenumbers smaller than the Townsend-Perry k^(-1) spectrum. This necessary addition can also account for the high Reynolds number outer peak of the turbulent kinetic energy in the intermediate layer. An analytic expression is obtained for this outer peak in agreement with extremely high Reynolds number data by Hultmark et al (2012, 2013). The finding of Dallas et al (2009) that it is the eddy turnover time and not the mean flow gradient which scales with distance to the wall and skin friction velocity in the intermediate layer implies, when combined with Townsend's (1976) production-dissipation balance, that the mean flow gradient has an outer peak at the same location as the turbulent kinetic energy
William Perry: A Late Modern ‘Ulysses’
No full textThe aim of this chapter is to look at the concept of intellectual Ulyssism from the perspective of one single author, i.e. the prolific Scottich writer/lexicographer William Perry. Due to lack of scholarly attention, Perry could be defined as one of the "forgotten phoneticians" (Abercrombie 1948) of the Late Modern period. Despite his initial influence and contribution to the creation of a 'standard' English accent in Britain, and later editorial success and influence in the United States, together with Thomas Sheridan and other later 18th-century orthoepists, his name and works were surpassed by John Walker's Critical Dictionary first published in 1791
Jasper County Courthouse Marker, Ridgeland, SC
No full textJasper County Courthouse Marker, Ridgeland, SC.
This marker is located on the courthouse grounds in Ridgeland, Georgia.
The text reads as :
This county was established in 1912 from portions of Beaufort and Hampton counties and named, it is said, for Sergeant William Jasper, hero of the American Revolution. The same act establishing the new county also designated Ridgeland (incorporated 1894) as the county seat. Charles E. Perry, John M. Langford, J. H. Woods, J. P. Wise and Rodger Pinckney were first county commissioners.

Bcl2 is an independent prognostic marker of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and predicts response to anthracycline combination (ATC) chemotherapy (CT) in adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings
No full textBackground: TNBC represents a heterogeneous subgroup of BC with poor prognosis and frequently resistant to CT. Material and methods: The relationship between Bcl2 immunohistochemical protein expression and clinicopathological outcomes was assessed in 736 TNBC-patients: 635 patients had early primary-TNBC (EP-TNBC) and 101 had primary locally advanced (PLA)-TNBC treated with neo-adjuvant- ATC-CT. Results: Negative Bcl2 (Bcl2-) was observed in 70% of EP-TNBC and was significantly associated with high proliferation, high levels of P-Cadherin, E-Cadherin and HER3 (P’s<0.01), while Bcl2+ was significantly associated with high levels of p27, MDM4 and SPAG5 (P<0.01). After controlling for chemotherapy and other prognostic factors, Bcl2- was associated with 2-fold increased risk of death (P=0.006) and recurrence (P=0.0004). Furthermore, the prognosis of EP-TNBC/Bcl2- patients had improved both BC-specific survival (P=0.002) and disease-free survival (P = 0.003), if they received adjuvant-ATC-CT. Moreover, Bcl2- expression was an independent predictor of pathological complete response of primary locally advanced triple negative breast cancer (PLA-TNBC) treated with neoadjuvant-ATC-CT (P=0.008). Conclusion: Adding Bcl2 to the panel of markers used in current clinical practice could provide both prognostic and predictive information in TNBC. TNBC/Bcl2- patients appear to benefit from ATC-CT, whereas Bcl2+ TNBC seems to be resistant to ATC-CT and may benefit from a trial of different type of chemotherapy with/without novel-targeted agents. Key words: anthracyclin chemotherapy, Bcl2, predictive marker, prognostic marker, theraputic targets, triple negative breast cancer
