The document discusses the two-step process of pulmonary surfactant adsorption to an air-water interface. The initial step slowly reduces surface tension to around 35-50 mN/m. The later step then accelerates further to the final tension of around 25 mN/m. Experiments show that lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and DSPE-PEG inhibit the later fusion step by disrupting lipid structure and stability, but have mixed effects on the initial step, either delaying or accelerating the rate. This supports a model where the initial step involves decreased lipid ordering, while the later step requires formation of a negatively curved stalk structure through vesicle fusion.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. THE EARLY AND LATE PROCESSES IN THE
ADSORPTION OF PULMONARY
SURFACTANT
Samares C. Biswas1, Shankar B. Rananavare2, Stephen B. Hall1
1Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR, USA,
2Portland State University, Portland, OR, USA.
2. ADSORPTION OF PULMONARY SURFACTANT
• Pulmonary surfactant adsorbs to an air-water interface
in two distinct steps
– initial fall in surface tension at slowing rates to an
inflection point at ~35-50mN/m
– later acceleration until reaching the final surface
tension of ~25mN/m.
3. ADSORPTION OF LIPID VESICLES
Formation of lipid layer at the alveolar A/W interface
Multiple steps
•Diffusion
•Insertion
•Fusion
6. MODEL
• Step 1: Initial adsorption of lipid vesicle
– Does not require hydrophobic surfactant proteins (SP-B/-C)
– Related to a process other than fusion
• Step 2: Later acceleration of adsorption
– Requires the presence of proteins
– Fusion of the lipid vesicles with the preformed lipid layer
7. EFFECTS OF LPC & DSPE-PEG ON LIPID
STRUCTURES
• LPC
– forms micelles
– induces positive curvature
• which inhibit fusion
– produces lipid disorder
•DSPE-PEG
– forms micelles
– produces sterically stabilized liposomes
• which inhibit fusion
– produces lipid disorder
LPC-diagram
DOPE-PEG-
diagram
8. PREDICTED EFFECTS OF LPC AND DSPE-PEG
ON ADSORPTION
• LPC should
– inhibit the final step
– inhibition of fusion
– destabilization of stalk intermediate
• DSPE-PEG should
– inhibit the final step
– inhibition of fusion
– steric stabilization of liposome
15. LPC
Affected both the steps of adsorption.
Delayed the initiation of final acceleration.
Effect on the initial process is not clear.
16. LPC does have effect on the initial step, but it is
not clear. To determine the effect on the initial
step, we studied adsorption of LPC/DOPC and
LPC/N&PL systems.
22. LPC
Affected the initial fall in surface tension.
Effect was dose dependent.
Dialysis confirmed that the observed effect is
not due to the presence of free LPC.
27. Like LPC, DSPE-PEG also
Affected both the steps of adsorption
Delayed the initiation of final acceleration
Effects on initial process is not regular.
DSPE-PEG does accelerate the adsorption of
DOPC vesicles.
28. FINDINGS
Effects of LPC:
On CLSE and the model systems DOPE and GrA/DOPC-
Inhibit final steps of adsorption.
On N&PL and DOPC-
Accelerate the initial rate of adsorption.
Effects of DSPE-PEG:
CLSE and GrA/DOPC
Inhibit the initial and final steps of adsorption.
ON DOPC
Accelerate the initial rate of adsorption
29. CONCLUSIONS
Our results supports a model in which
Adsorption proceeds by two distinct steps:
Associated with two different structural effects.
Initial step
determined by different processes, such as
decreased bilayer order.
The final step
involves formation of a negatively curved
structure
