    The article states that a new hard red spring wheat variety ?Waldron,? recently released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, was named after Dr. L. R. Waldron because of the important contributions he made to wheat improvement in the spring wheat region This one page article gives an overview to his contributions to wheat advancements

    Extremal growth of polynomials

    No full text
    We give an exposition of some simple but applicable cases of worst-case growth of a polynomial in terms of its uniform norm on a given compact set K ⊂ Cd. Included is a direct verification of the formula for the pluripotential extremal function for a real simplex. Throughout we attempt to make the exposition as accessible to a general (analytic) audience as possible, avoiding wherever possible the finer details of Pluripotential Theory

    Photograph of (l-r) Clarence Waldron, Merri Dee, and Curtis King at the Roundtable Writer's Breakfast, "Merri Dee: Life Lessons on Faith, Forgiveness, and Grace," hosted by the Black Academy of Arts and Letters. This image is a still taken from the video recording of the event. They can be seen sitting side by side at a dining table. Waldron and King are looking over at Dee, who appears to be speaking. Name cards have been placed on the table in front of each of them. The heads of three other attendees can be seen in the bottom portion of the photograph, facing away from the camera

This image is a still taken from the video recording of the event. They can be seen sitting side by side at a dining table, facing the camera. Waldron is sitting on the far left side of the photograph, partially out of frame. He is smiling and clapping his hands. Dee is also smiling. King is looking out past the camera with a straight face.

    Control of Gene Expression by RNA Binding Protein Action on Alternative Translation Initiation Sites.

    Transcript levels do not faithfully predict protein levels, due to post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression mediated by RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and non-coding RNAs. We developed a multivariate linear regression model integrating RBP levels and predicted RBP-mRNA regulatory interactions from matched transcript and protein datasets. RBPs significantly improved the accuracy in predicting protein abundance of a portion of the total modeled mRNAs in three panels of tissues and cells and for different methods employed in the detection of mRNA and protein. The presence of upstream translation initiation sites (uTISs) at the mRNA 5' untranslated regions was strongly associated with improvement in predictive accuracy. On the basis of these observations, we propose that the recently discovered widespread uTISs in the human genome can be a previously unappreciated substrate of translational control mediated by RBPs

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
