Full Immersion\u27s Effects on Students\u27 Scores in a Secondary German Classroom

With this action research project I intend to improve the scores of my German II: Pre-IB students through the gradual introduction of full immersion instruction. Students’ project scores, quiz scores, and journal entries were evaluated and compared to previous scores and to the control group’s scores in order to determine if full immersion days, in which only the target language is spoken, ultimately helped my students to score higher on their graded work. I hoped to not only improve test scores, but also to improve the fluency and grammatical accuracy of my students

PP2ARts1 is a master regulator of pathways that control cell size

Cell size checkpoints ensure that passage through G1 and mitosis occurs only when sufficient growth has occurred. The mechanisms by which these checkpoints work are largely unknown. PP2A associated with the Rts1 regulatory subunit (PP2ARts1) is required for cell size control in budding yeast, but the relevant targets are unknown. In this paper, we used quantitative proteome-wide mass spectrometry to identify proteins controlled by PP2ARts1. This revealed that PP2ARts1 controls the two key checkpoint pathways thought to regulate the cell cycle in response to cell growth. To investigate the role of PP2ARts1 in these pathways, we focused on the Ace2 transcription factor, which is thought to delay cell cycle entry by repressing transcription of the G1 cyclin CLN3. Diverse experiments suggest that PP2ARts1 promotes cell cycle entry by inhibiting the repressor functions of Ace2. We hypothesize that control of Ace2 by PP2ARts1 plays a role in mechanisms that link G1 cyclin accumulation to cell growth

Getting a Transcription Factor to Only One Nucleus Following Mitosis

The Ace2 transcription factor from budding yeast has both a regulated nuclear localization signal and a regulated nuclear export signal, and Ace2 phosphorylation by the Cbk1 kinase results in Ace2 accumulation in daughter cells but not mothers

The Freshman, vol. 4, no. 12

The Freshman was a weekly, student newsletter issued on Mondays throughout the academic year. The newsletter included calendar notices, coverage of campus social events, lectures, and athletic teams. The intent of the publication was to create unity, a sense of community, and class spirit among first year students. Social news leading into the holiday season is the focus of this edition. The Class of 1937 run of The Freshman featured original cover art by sketch artist Jack Frost (John Edward Frost, 1915-1997), who was born in Eastport, Maine. He attended the University of Maine for only a single academic year before moving to Massachusetts to work for the Boston Herald. Frost later became a columnist and illustrator for the Boston Post
