2010 engineering tocopherol biosynthetic pathway in arabidopsis leavesAgrin Life
This study genetically engineered the tocopherol biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana by overexpressing five genes (HPPD, VTE2, VTE3, VTE1, and VTE4) involved in tocopherol production, both individually and in combinations. The results showed that elevated expression of these biosynthetic genes affected total tocopherol content and composition. Additionally, engineering the tocopherol pathway also impacted endogenous ascorbate and glutathione pools in the leaves. Further analysis found that genes in the Halliwell-Asada antioxidant cycle were upregulated. These findings provide insight into the relationship between lipid-soluble vitamin E and water-soluble antioxidants vitamin C and
The document discusses how people read online content and provides tips for writing for the web. It notes that online readers scan pages rather than read linearly due to screens and vision fatigue. Effective online writing is concise, chunked into sections with headlines, uses meaningful links, and follows an inverted pyramid structure where most important information is at the top.

The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Older adults who exercised regularly performed better on cognitive tests and brain scans showed they had greater activity in important areas for memory and learning compared to less active peers.
This document summarizes Ebba Ossiannilsson's presentation on MOOCs and Learning Analytics. The key points are:
1) MOOCs have experienced a hype cycle but are now moving into a deployment period, bringing together innovations in pedagogy. Learning analytics also aims to advance personalized education through analyzing student data.
2) Learning analytics can benefit both learners and educators by helping monitor learning processes, identify at-risk students, and improve teaching. However, challenges include developing analytics that address important problems and support positive change.
3) Future use of learning analytics requires involving learners in the process, allowing them control over their data while clarifying responsibilities around providing accurate data and
Linda Bishop is the president of Thought Transformation, a sales consulting group. She discusses how brand loyalty has declined, with consumers more likely to switch brands for better value. However, loyal customers are more profitable through higher retention, spending, and referral rates. She argues that printers can help customers build loyalty through targeted print campaigns, useful information, and rewards programs.
1. The document outlines the typical 4-step process for purchasing a property, including necessary documents, procedures for agents, buyers, sellers, and the title company.
2. Key documents include the purchase agreement, disclosures about the property and its condition from the sellers, and reports like the home inspection, pest inspection, and preliminary title report.
3. The process culminates in the buyers removing contingencies within 17 days and signing closing documents to complete the purchase.

This document discusses open educational resources (OERs) and quality in OER. It defines OERs as educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license, allowing anyone to legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. Quality in OER is seen as an ongoing process involving self-assessment, community feedback and review. Key factors in evaluating OER quality include accuracy, reputation of authors, technical and accessibility standards, fitness for purpose, and trust. Ensuring openness, learner-centeredness, and independent learning are also important aspects of quality.
The document discusses findings from European benchmarking exercises on e-learning. It describes benchmarking as a process of intentionally changing existing practices to superior practices based on exemplars. The research approach involved a multiple case study of universities that participated in two benchmarking projects. The study explored the values and impacts of benchmarking. Benefits identified included understanding processes better, discovering new ideas, obtaining data to support decisions, and strengthening institutional identity. Cultural factors like commitment, attitudes, and collaboration were also found to add value.

Ashley the brown butterfly felt self-conscious about her color when hosting a party for other butterflies and insects. When the guests laughed at her plain appearance, she cried and hid away. However, one butterfly comforted her by saying her color didn't matter. Ashley then spoke to the group, accepting her difference, and they all apologized and had fun singing together.
This document summarizes the key findings and conclusions from a Swedish OER project from 2010-2011. It discusses how the project aimed to raise awareness of open educational practices and resources in Sweden by holding seminars and workshops. While it helped increase discussion, challenges remained around developing metadata, legal frameworks, and encouraging a culture of open sharing over competition. The document calls for applying existing OER research, supporting more research, and developing policies to help open practices become a new mainstream approach.
This document provides an overview of e-learning, open educational resources (OER), massive open online courses (MOOCs), and quality. It discusses these topics and their importance. It also examines expectations for OER to solve global education issues and the variety of what can be considered open. In addition, the document looks at frameworks and recommendations for higher education, including exploiting MOOCs and ensuring teachers have strong digital skills.
Online dating has grown to a $4 billion industry, with 17% of married couples meeting online. It is most popular for ages 18-29 but seniors aged 55+ are the fastest growing segment. Motivations for online dating include convenience, eliminating geography barriers, and lessening rejection. However, up to 25% of online daters misrepresent themselves, most commonly being shorter, poorer, or posting older photos than reality. User behavior analysis shows that while all ethnicities are open to online dating, black females are most active but receive least responses and many users still prefer to date within their own race.
The document discusses Sanook Mail System and its objectives to resolve issues with their existing email delivery system. It introduces Sanook Virtual SMTP (VSMTP) which will address problems with capacity, blacklisting, and ease of use by utilizing Google App Engine and allowing groups within Sanook to send emails through various email addresses while staying within allocated quotas. It provides details on how VSMTP will work and integrate with Sanook's email newsletter and CRM systems. Pricing and quotas per group are also outlined.
2006 genetic basis of drought resistance at reproductive stage in riceAgrin Life
This study analyzed the genetic basis of drought tolerance and drought avoidance in rice at the reproductive stage using a recombinant inbred line population. Drought stress was applied individually to rice plants grown in pipes to separate drought tolerance from other factors. A total of 21 traits related to yield, fitness, and root morphology were measured under control and drought conditions. Quantitative trait locus mapping identified multiple loci associated with the different traits, suggesting a complex genetic basis for both drought tolerance and avoidance. There was little overlap between loci for above-ground traits and root traits, indicating that drought tolerance and avoidance have distinct genetic mechanisms.
This document describes different types of houses including semi-detached, detached, terrace, farm, boat, bungalow and cottage houses. It provides illustrations of semi-detached, detached, terrace, bungalow, cottage, farm and boat houses as well as definitions of bungalow and cottage.
This document discusses quality assurance (QA) in e-learning and the E-xcellence instrument launched in 2007 to complement existing internal and external QA systems. The basic tool in E-xcellence is the quick scan, which can be done as a quick orientation, with a review at a distance, or with an on-site assessment. It aims to reward continuous educational improvement through the E-xcellence Associates label. QA agencies and universities need to cooperate on e-learning QA and work towards a common definition and understanding of e-learning standards. The SEQUENT project also aims to promote excellence in ICT use in higher education and prepare universities for cross-border collaboration.
