The Importance of Wishes: An Interview with Author Sandra Magsamen
No full textChildren’s author and illustrator Sandra Magsamen holds a beloved place in the hearts of library professionals who know the impact and power of her loving board and picture books. As the author and illustrator of more than sixty children’s and adult books, Magsamen, trained as an art therapist, hopes to create books that offer people a way to reach out and connect in a meaningful and expressive way with someone in their life, and indeed she accomplishes this with her endearing new release, I Wish Wish Wish for You
54/08/12 Pitcher Rattled by Sandy Story
No full textAccording to this article, Bob Kelly, a pitcher for an Indianapolis baseball team, was purportedly jarred by the news that his wife, Sandra, was mistakenly labeled as another woman in the life of Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard.
Kelly lasted only 3 innings during a game against Columbus on the day after learning of the news regarding Sandy. It was Kelly\u27s 8th loss of the season.https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/newspaper_coverage/1179/thumbnail.jp
Total Carbohydrates in Nectar of Sarracenia purpurea L. (Northern Pitcher Plant)
No full textSarracenia purpurea L. (northern pitcher plant) attracts insect prey by man- ufacturing nectar on pitchers. We adapted a technique using filter paper wicks to sample nectar for analysis of total carbohydrates to address two questions. First, does total carbohydrate in nectar vary on different parts of the pitcher? Second, does nectar vary in total carbohydrate among pitchers of different age? The mouth of the pitcher produced measurable amounts of total carbohydrates, whereas the hood and external wing of the pitcher did not. Young pitchers produced measurable amounts of total carbohydrates, but older pitchers did not. Use of filter paper wicks is a valuable technique for study of pitcher plant nectar
Effects of prey, pitcher age, and microbes on acid phosphatase activity in fluid from pitchers of Sarracenia purpurea (Sarraceniaceae).
No full textCarnivory in pitcher plants generally involves digestion of prey, by the plant itself, by symbionts, or both. While symbionts appear to be important in the digestion of prey in Sarracenia purpurea, the importance of pitcher-derived enzymes is less well documented. Our goal was to reduce microbial numbers in pitcher fluid in order to measure the acid phosphatase activity attributable to the pitchers themselves. Preliminary experiments indicated that various antibiotics were minimally effective at reducing microbial populations and that antibiotic-resistant microbes were easily cultured from pitcher fluid. Consequently, we measured the abundance of culturable microbes in every sample taken for the measurement of acid phosphatase activity. Pitchers fed with one sterilized ant had higher levels of acid phosphatase activity than unfed pitchers. Older pitchers were more responsive to feeding than young pitchers. Pitchers with high levels of microbes (on Day 5) had higher acid phosphatase activity than pitchers with low levels of microbes. However, fed pitchers were not more likely to have higher microbe levels and microbe levels were not related to pitcher age. When fluid samples from inside the pitcher were compared to appropriate controls incubated outside the pitcher, acid phosphatase activity was higher inside the pitcher. Results from the feeding experiments are consistent with a primary role of microbes in the digestion of prey in pitchers of S. purpurea. However, the relationship between pitcher age and enzyme activity is not a function of microbes in the pitcher fluid and may depend on enzymes produced by the plant. Our methods would not detect microbes embedded on the inner surface of the pitcher; and if they survived the alcohol rinse and antibiotics, we cannot rule out microbes as the source of the relationship between pitcher age and acid phosphatase activity
Author Meets Critics: Sandra Braman
No full textThe publication of Sandra Braman’s Change of State signals the importance of the topic of information policy to the field of information studies. It also illustrates both the power and necessity of the kind of inter-disciplinary analysis that characterizes the field. This panel will provide an opportunity for both structured debate and lively discussion around Change of State and the important arguments it contains. Perhaps the most important one that it makes is that “trends in information policy both manifest and trigger change in the nature of governance itself.” That is, Braman points to how information flows have radically altered the nature of the traditional nation-state and its ability to exercise power (or fails to, as the case may be).
Because of i-Schools’ strong connections with the professional world of information institutions, it is particularly important for graduates to understand the far-reaching implications of this argument. On a practical level, graduates need to become conversant with both the varied manifestations of information policy, and the mechanisms by which such policy is enacted. Change of State provides a highly useful synthesis of all the major debates in the field of information policy (including identity, immigration, innovation policy, etc.), organizing them into a comprehensive analytical framework, along with extensive bibliographic essays.
The format of this session will involve each speaker presenting a 15 minute paper which will discuss Change of State from their own disciplinary perspective. Prof. Braman will then respond to the papers. The presentations will be followed by a question and answer period with the audience. The goal is to offer both structured debate around key arguments presented in the book, while offering an opportunity for the audience to interact with the speakers. The speakers are all leaders in the field, well-informed of Dr. Braman’s work, and chosen with the goal of maximizing disciplinary perspectives (Lievrouw: communication policy; Mueller: political science; Jackson: science and technology studies).Submitted by Heekyung Choi ([email protected]) on 2010-03-11T15:43:29Z

First person – Sandra Vidak
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Sandra Vidak is the first author on ‘Nucleoplasmic lamins define growth-regulating functions of lamina-associated polypeptide 2α in progeria cells’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Sandra Vidak is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Tom Misteli at the National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland, USA, investigating how the impairment of protein quality control mechanisms contributes to the progression of the premature ageing disease Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS).</jats:p
