WebQuest Depository

The purpose of this project was to create a web site that teachers could use to assist them to integrate technology into their classroom and to create a constructivist learning environment that would be conducive to teaching and learning higher order thinking skills. The federal government requires technology integration in academic institutions. As, a result, every classroom is to be equipped with five computers. Teachers must update their pedagogical proficiencies to include technology. In addition, teachers must adapt their curriculum to accommodate the use of technology. Research has shown that a constructivist teaching style is an excellent means for students to learn higher order thinking skills. Educational researchers have demonstrated that a WebQuest is an important teaching device that can accomplish these purposes

Juvenile Courts and the Delinquent Adolescents

The American juvenile court is a subject on which many books might be written from different points of view and approached. It is a response to the modern spirit of social justice, and is perhaps the first legal tribunal where law and science, especially the science of medicine and those sciences which deal with human behavior such as biology, sociology and psychology, work side by side. It recognizes the fact that the law unaided is incompentent to decide what is adequate treatment of delinquency and crime. It undertakes to define and readjust social situations without the sentiment of prejudice. Its approach to the problem which the child presents is scientific, objective, and despassionate. The methods which it uses are those of social case work, in which every child is studied and treated as an individual. The principles upon which the juvenile court acts are radically different from those of the criminal courts. In place of tribunals, judicial restrained by antiquated procedure, satinated in an atmosphere of hostility, trying cases for determining guilt and inflicting punishment according to inflexible rules of law, we have now juvenile courts, in which the relations of the child to the parents or other adults and to the state or society are defined and are adjusted summarily according to the scientific findings about the child and his environments. The juvenile court, or the child\u27s court is of comparatively recent origin, but the legal principles undulying it may be traced far back into Anglo-American jurisprudence and legal history. While in some instances these principles have been greatly extended and modified, their primary basis is the common law. The juvenile court should be looked upon as a growth in legal theory and not as a departure there from. Upon what ever legal basis the juvenile court may be founded, the primary and definite legal question at issue is, in most instances the right of the court to control the custody of the child. With the advent of juvenile courts possessing broad discretionary powers to commit children to institutions upon which ground that the welfare of the child demands an assumption by the state of parental control, a determination of the nature and extent of the rights of parents to the custody of their children becomes of vital importance in any discussion of legal principles which underlie the juvenile court legislature

Structural and Regulatory Studies on Rabbit Muscle Phosphofructokinase.

Rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11; PFK) undergoes a time dependent lag in activity before attaining maximal catalytic velocity. This phenomenon, termed hysteresis, is evident when the enzymatic reaction is initiated with one of the substrates, fructose 6-phosphate (F 6-P). The lag is not manifested with initiation of the reaction by the other substrate, ATP, or with the enzyme. The length of the lag was found to be dependent upon enzyme concentration, pH, concentration of F 6-P, and the presence of inhibitors or activators in the incubation medium. A model is proposed which ascribes this phenomenon to a bisphosphate induced conformational change of the enzyme to a more active state. Results with locked, isosteric analogues of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (F 1,6-P(,2)) suggest that there are two distinct phases in the hysteretic process in PFK--reduction of the lag and actual enhancement of catalytic velocity. The former appears to show no anomeric preference, while the latter appears to be modulated by the (alpha)-anomer of F 1,6-P(,2). A series of straight chain bisphosphate compounds were synthesized and studied as models for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F 2,6-P(,2)), a potent activator of PFK. 1,4-Butanediol bisphosphate, which approximates the spacing across the PO-C(,6)-C(,5)-O-C(,2)-OP portion of the F 2,6-P(,2) molecule, was found to be quite effective in activating PFK. The activation constant for 1,4-butanediol bisphosphate was determined to be 6.6 x 10(\u27-6) M, compared to 1.2 x 10(\u27-7) M for F 2,6-P(,2). The data suggest that the allosteric bisphosphate binding site of PFK requires the distance between the two phosphate groups of the activator be in the range of 9.0-10.2 (ANGSTROM). 1,4-Butanediol bisphosphate was also found to protect the enzyme against inhibition by citrate. Treatment of PFK with the arginine specific reagent, phenylglyoxal, led to inactivation of the enzyme. Amino acid analysis determined that a least four arginyl residues were modified. Complete loss of activity was correlated with modification of six arginyl residues. F 6-P and F 1,6-P(,2) protected against inactivation, with two less arginyl residues being modified. While ATP, ADP, and AMP also protected against inactivation; neither was able to decrease the number of arginyl residues modified. These data indicate that arginyl residues are essential for binding at the active site of PFK
