The relevance of our results directly relates to the school choice debate. The effects of top students are at the centre of several policy interventions related to, among others, ability tracking versus detracking, school segregation versus school busing, and racial segregation versus affirmative actio...
” Segregation and Jim Crow laws were not inherent cogs in the profit machine. Nor were there any obvious financial incentives to banning same-sex marriages or the callous treatment of HIV and AIDS patients. These are huge, important, material concerns for millions of individuals that can have ...
These EEG data also support the functional segregation of mu rhythm into two discrete sub-bands, complimenting previous work that found distinct mu responses in low and high alpha bands (Dumas et al. 2014; Frenkel-Toledo et al. 2014; Neuper et al. 2009; Pfurtscheller et al. 2000). The ...
As a child, soft-spoken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in India.But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern, the program would be far less interesting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them ...
The theory of ecological segregation postulates that coexisting species may partition their use of resources, in either time, space or trophic habits to avoid or limit competition, leading to niche divergence1. Among marine predators, seabirds provide good examples of ecologically similar coexisting spec...
We define the contact distance,r, as the distance below which a contact is considered to be made. This value was taken as 0.5, 1, and 2, withr=2used unless stated otherwise. As the model uses a discrete time random walk, a contact can only be considered to be made at the end of...
Like other cities that boomed in the postwar era, Atlanta's vast metro region includes sprawling suburbs connected to the downtown core via an intricate freeway system. Today, Silicon Peach has been shaped by its history of racial segregation and the Civil Rights Movement, which was centered he...
Visual stimuli were projected onto a screen at one end of the magnet bore, which participants viewed through a mirror attached to the head coil. Stimuli Acoustic stimuli were spoken sentences that had been recorded by each participant's friend or spouse in a previous experiment. Sentences were...
Ceramide, the precursor of all complex sphingolipids, is a potent signaling molecule that mediates key events of cellular pathophysiology. In the nervous system, the sphingolipid metabolism has an important impact. Neurons are polarized cells and their normal functions, such as neuronal connectivity and...
A scheme showing the design of the construct appears in Fig. S1A, and the primers used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are listed in Table S1. Sequences encoding a [His]6-tag and the aphAII cassette were designed to be inserted at the 3′ end of psbC2. A similar strategy was...
