TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of teaching attitudes, teacher effectiveness, and teacher performance of first year teachers Prepared by Alternative and Traditional Teacher Education Programs is presented. But the authors focus on the first year teacher.

TL;DR: Although post-neurosurgical administration of the ACTH 4-9 analog has been shown to improve behavioral recovery from brain damage in some studies, the peptide failed to improve the behaviors examined here.

TL;DR: The preservation that accompanies bMCA interruption might serve as a useful model of the functional declines that accompany stroke and frontal lobe damage.
Abstract: After learning position discrimination in a T-maze water escape task, rats had either a 2 mm section of the middle cerebral artery removed bilaterally (bMCA) or they received a sham operation. Beginning on the day of surgery either total brain gangliosides (50 mg kg-1) or saline were administered daily for five days. Of the several measures of neurological function that were tested, only a temporary deficit in grasping with the front paws was observed in bMCA damaged rats. Ganglioside treatment normalized this practical function. Memory of the preoperative habit was not influenced by bMCA damage, but acquisition of a reversal of this habit was compromised. Ganglioside treatment did not influence this deficit. Acquisition of a spatial alternation strategy was influenced by neither the bMCA lesion nor the ganglioside treatment. The preservation that accompanies bMCA interruption might serve as a useful model of the functional declines that accompany stroke and frontal lobe damage.

TL;DR: The objectives of this study were to evaluate and use nonlethal genetic markers to locate heterotic chromosome blocks (HCBs) in exotic pearl miller lines, develop methods to use the markers to transfer in the future the selected HCBs to inbred T383 and to increase the yield of Tifleaf 2.
Abstract: The introgression of exotic germplasm by conventional breeding procedures to promote greater heterosis and yield within adapted hybrid cultivars often is a difficult and lengthy process. As part of long-term investigations, the objectives of this study were to evaluate and use nonlethal genetic markers to locate heterotic chromosome blocks (HCBs) in exotic pearl miller [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] lines, develop methods to use the markers to transfer in the future the selected HCBs to inbred T383 and to increase the yield of Tifleaf 2 (T85A × T383) (...)
