TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the relationship between teachers' approaches to teaching and high school students' approach to learning by fitting a two-level structural equation model based on the hypothesis that student academic achievement is significantly determined by the way they study.
Abstract: Since the 1970s, a large body of research has reported on the differences between deep and surface approaches to student learning. More recently, however, this metaphor for students’ approaches to learning has been applied to the practice of teaching. Studies at the university level have identified two approaches to teaching: the information transmission/teacher-focused approach and the conceptual change/student-focused approach. The present study analyzes the relationship between teachers’ approaches to teaching and high school students’ approaches to learning. The data were analyzed by fitting a two-level structural equation model based on the hypothesis that student academic achievement is significantly determined by the way they study and that the way they study is partially determined by the way teachers teach. The participants were high school students (778 twelfth graders) enrolled in biology courses and their teachers (40 total). The same model was proposed at both levels (i.e., within and between levels) and fit the data quite well. As expected, within level, the effects of the ‘approaches to learning’ on ‘biology achievement’ regression were far larger than the corresponding effects at between level. The central findings suggest worthy directions for future research.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the experiments which led to a better understanding of the lignification process in Zinnia, starting with the basic knowledge about theLignin pattern in this plant, how lIGNification takes place, and how a sole basic peroxidase with unusual catalytic properties is involved and regulated by hormones, H2O2, and nitric oxide.
Abstract: Zinnia elegans constitutes one of the most useful model systems for studying xylem differentiation, which simultaneously involves secondary cell wall synthesis, cell wall lignification, and programmed cell death. Likewise, the in vitro culture system of Z. elegans has been the best characterized as the differentiation of mesophyll cells into tracheary elements allows study of the biochemistry and physiology of xylogenesis free from the complexity that heterogeneous plant tissues impose. Moreover, Z. elegans has emerged as an excellent plant model to study the involvement of peroxidases in cell wall lignification. This is due to the simplicity and duality of the lignification pattern shown by the stems and hypocotyls, and to the basic nature of the peroxidase isoenzyme. This protein is expressed not only in hypocotyls and stems but also in mesophyll cells transdifferentiating into tracheary elements. Therefore, not only does this peroxidase fulfil all the catalytic requirements to be involved in lignification overcoming all restrictions imposed by the polymerization step, but also its expression is inherent in lignification. In fact, its basic nature is not exceptional since basic peroxidases are differentially expressed during lignification in other model systems, showing unusual and unique biochemical properties such as oxidation of syringyl moieties. This review focuses on the experiments which led to a better understanding of the lignification process in Zinnia, starting with the basic knowledge about the lignin pattern in this plant, how lignification takes place, and how a sole basic peroxidase with unusual catalytic properties is involved and regulated by hormones, H2O2, and nitric oxide.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the determinants of survival of 6494 Spanish hotel firms located in 97 national tourist destinations in the period 2005-2011 and found that the main determinant of firm survival is the level of occupancy in a tourist destination which has a positive effect.

TL;DR: The proposed conditions have been applied to determine those compounds at low ppb levels (< or =250 microg L(-1)) in aqueous samples and the precision of the method was good, and the achieved intra- and inter-day variation coefficients were between 5 and 20%.

TL;DR: The results show the good behavior of the procedure for a wide variety of nonlinear autoregressive models and its robustness to non-Gaussian innovations and the proposed methodology is applied to a real dataset involving economic time series.
