Concurrent Session #4: SchemaStudy: Harnessing AI to Enhance Study Skills and Learning in Biology
No full textSchemaStudy is a user-friendly web application designed to enhance student study skills in undergraduate biology. Utilizing an OpenAI API, SchemaStudy provides personalized formative feedback as students actively engage with course topics, terms, themes, examples, or concepts at three progressively complex levels. From defining terms and making connections to constructing intricate concept networks, students receive immediate feedback from the API. This accessible tool, which requires no coding experience from faculty, exemplifies the transformative potential of AI in fostering conceptual understanding and improving study skills in STEM education
A Teacher\u27s Paradox: Balancing learning and integrity in undergraduate biology
No full textThe core value of AI lies not in its ability to info dump but in the low-stakes practice it affords for foundational competencies—precise question formulation, goal-directed problem solving, and rigorous evaluation of its outputs. The pedagogical challenge is to channel its imperfections into durable discernment.
Risk facing U.S. commercial banks
No full textThe study examines the financial state of the U.S. commercial banks and of the main private borrowing sectors: corporate non-financial business and households. The study finds that the condition of the banks'loan portfolios exposes them to high losses. This risk together with the forthcoming increase of the required ratio of capital to assets suggests that banks will respond by slowing the growth of credit. One consequence would be weaker U.S. investment and consumption. Moreover, credit would probably be directed away from higher risk borrowers such as the highly indebted countries.Financial Crisis Management&Restructuring,Banks&Banking Reform,Financial Intermediation,Economic Theory&Research,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism
Wordimage: lyric ekphrasis and subjectivity in the twenty-first century
No full textMy dissertation challenges how we conceptualize the relationship between verbal and visual within the ekphrastic encounter. Beginning with the modernist lyrics of H.D. and Marianne Moore and extending to the contemporary poetry of Natasha Tretheway, Sharon Dolin, Siri Hustvedt, Mark Doty, and Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, I argue that the voice, form, and content of the ekphrastic lyric is a productive site for understanding the poetics of aesthetic politics. Dominant theories of ekphrasis such as the rivalry between the sister arts and models of confrontation between poet and painter foreclose on the possibilities of the mode as a political space in which the differences between word and image allow poets to engage in new ways with the solitary, embodied, and viewing lyric voice. While feminist and conceptual poetics have privileged the fragmented, multi-vocal poem as the most political form for negotiating subjectivity, my focus on more humanist lyrics engaging fixed forms and lyric selves illuminates an aesthetic for the 21st century in which modern problems connecting vision and identity such as the gaze, the loss of aura, the uncanny double, and viewer passivity, become transformed into opportunities for rethinking subjectivity and desire.Ph.

Page, Y.R. Shen and Y.T. Lee, J. Chem. Phys. 88, 4621 (1988).Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, University of Alberta; Department of Physical and Applied Sciences, University College of Cape BretonQuantitative infrared absorption spectra of liquid at have been measured between 6250 and through transmission cells fitted with NaCl and KBr windows. The spectra have been fully corrected for reflection effects and the real, n, and imaginary, k, refractive indices of the liquid have been calculated thoughout this range. To correct for the predictable long-range dielectric effects in the liquid, the Lorentz local field was used to calculate the complex molar polarizability. As has been described previously for liquid and liquid , the contributions of the different bands to the imaginary molar polarizability spectrum were separated by fitting the spectrum with Classical Damped Harmonic Oscillator bands, and the absolute integrated intensities were calculated analytically from the parameters of the CDHO bands. The methods used will be illustrated sufficiently to give confidence in the claimed 5 to 10 percent accuracy of the integrated intensities of liquid , which will be related to those of the gas and to those of and . In passing, a noteworthy, but not surprising, similarity will be shown between the first CH overtone spectrum of liquid at and that of in a supersonic beam at a rotational temperature temperature of
Systematic review: what is the best antibiotic treatment for Staphylococcus aureus intramammary infection of lactating cows in North America?
No full textStaphylococcus aureus is the most prevalent pathogen causing intramammary infections (IMI) in dairy cattle worldwide. New treatment regimens have been evaluated to increase cure rates. A systematic review was conducted to answer this question: what is the best antibiotic treatment for S aureus IMI of lactating cows in North America? Direct comparison between studies (n = 6) was difficult since there was no clinical trial comparing all antibiotics and large variations between study protocols and enrolment and outcome definitions were observed. The best therapeutic option currently available in North America is an extended intramammary therapy for 5 to 8 days.;Source type: Electronic(1
Bovine Herpesvirus-4, a potential cause of mastitis in Canadian dairy cows
No full textBovine herpesvirus-4 (BHV-4), genus Rhadinovirus, is a member of the family Herpesviridae, subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae with a worldwide distribution. This study was conducted to investigate the role of the virus in mastitis and/or subclinical mastitis in the Canadian dairy herds.Milk samples from 176 dairy cows were divided into 2 main groups; “A” contained samples with no bacterial isolates, and “B” containing samples either with Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus uberisisolates. Approximatelyninety-eight percentages of milk samples had antibodies against BHV-4. Among cows with negative bacterial milk cultures, significantly higher titres of BHV-4 antibodies were associated with samples which had high Somatic Cell Counts (SCC), compared to low SCC samples. Viral DNA was detected in 2% of milks samples by the PCR amplification of BHV-4 glycoprotein-B gene. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the presence of BHV-4 in milk of Canadian dairy herds. Further investigation is needed to determine whether BHV-4 is one of primary causative agents in bovine mastitis, or whether the observed correlation of high titres of specific milk BHV-4 antibody with high SCC was due to reactivation of latent BHV-4 infections by primary bacterial insults
Diagnostic performance of an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect bovine leukemia virus antibodies in bulk-tank milk samples.
No full textThis study assessed the diagnostic performance of a commercial ELISA for detecting bovine leukemia virus antibodies in bulk-tank milk samples from eastern Canada. Sensitivity and specificity of the test were estimated at 97.2% and 100%, respectively. The test was recommended as a cost-efficient tool for large-scale screening programs.journal article2016 Julimporte
