Finding Time for Federal Habeas Corpus: Carey v. Saffold

This Note begins by looking at the history of the writ of habeas corpus in the United States. There is a brief overview of the background and history of the AEDPA, specifically targeting the changes the AEDPA made to the law of federal habeas corpus. Next, the habeas corpus procedure in California is reviewed. Finally, this Note explains the Supreme Court’s decision in Carey v. Saffold, focusing on the Court’s policy rationale and what the lack of support for habeas corpus means for the future of the writ

The Role of Resilience in the STEM Identities of Post-Secondary Students: A Qualitative Metasynthesis

The purpose of this qualitative metasynthesis is to explore the relationship between science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) identity and resilience in racially and ethnically diverse post-secondary students. This study identifies experiences that impact STEM identity development in diverse undergraduate and graduate students. The results of a constant targeted comparison (an analytical technique not often used in educational studies) between STEM identity and student resilience suggests that STEM identity contributes to resilience in diverse students. Findings suggest that common adverse experiences that may impact racially and ethnically diverse students can be overcome in the presence of a well-developed STEM identity. This resilience in STEM appears to be impacted by factors such as group membership, race, gender, agency, internal and external supports, validation, and access. Diverse students may have access to a range of coping mechanisms including family and peer support systems, as well as a personal cache of innovative approaches to self-define their STEM identities and help them navigate the academic milieu. Additional research is needed to better understand the relationship between a strong STEM identity and resilience in diverse undergraduate and graduate students

Amyloidogenicity and toxicity of the reverse and scrambled variants of amyloid-β 1-42

β-amyloid 1-42 (Aβ1-42) is a self-assembling peptide that goes through many conformational and morphological changes before forming the fibrils that are deposited in extracellular plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. The link between Aβ1-42 structure and toxicity is of major interest, in particular, the neurotoxic potential of oligomeric species. Many studies utilise reversed (Aβ42-1) and scrambled (AβS) forms of amyloid-β as control peptides. Here, using circular dichroism, thioflavin T fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy, we reveal that both control peptides self-assemble to form fibres within 24 h. However, oligomeric Aβ reduces cell survival of hippocampal neurons, while Aβ42-1 and Aβs have reduced effect on cellular health, which may arise from their ability to assemble rapidly to form protofibrils and fibrils
