A Description of My Creative Work
When I look at my paintings to understand them better, I see that they mostly come from my experiences and are expressions of these experiences. These experiences include the literature that I've read recently, the time I've spent travelling, the art I've looked at, and the time I spend alone and with others. Through my experience and the experience of others, I find myself constantly searching for some sort of understanding of mankind and this universe we live in.
My paintings are stages for emotions, poems and metaphors about life and art. The different poses of the actors and the different tones of the places, speak of a variety of expressions. The figures are surrounded by an "aura" of emotion, showing the inside and outside of man. The paintings are visually reduced, like a poem, to only the essential information. There are abstract devices which enlarge the picture from a more one dimensional basic view of people in a place, to an idea about people and their relationship to a place. The "aura's" of emotion, and related to this, the divisions and see-through divisions in the paintings, create this effect. These create seperations between two figures, suggesting different attitudes, or isolation of a figure from his environment, or an individual's universe emphasized from the real universe.

Supramolecular Luminescent Sensors
There is great need for stand-alone luminescence-based chemosensors that exemplify selectivity, sensitivity, and applicability and that overcome the challenges that arise from complex, real-world media. Discussed herein are recent developments toward these goals in the field of supramolecular luminescent chemosensors, including macrocycles, polymers, and nanomaterials. Specific focus is placed on the development of new macrocycle hosts since 2010, coupled with considerations of the underlying principles of supramolecular chemistry as well as analytes of interest and common luminophores. State-of-the-art developments in the fields of polymer and nanomaterial sensors are also examined, and some remaining unsolved challenges in the area of chemosensors are discussed

Determination of biomembrane bending moduli in fully atomistic simulations.
The bilayer bending modulus (Kc) is one of the most important physical constants characterizing lipid membranes, but precisely measuring it is a challenge, both experimentally and computationally. Experimental measurements on chemically identical bilayers often differ depending upon the techniques employed, and robust simulation results have previously been limited to coarse-grained models (at varying levels of resolution). This Communication demonstrates the extraction of Kc from fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations for three different single-component lipid bilayers (DPPC, DOPC, and DOPE). The results agree quantitatively with experiments that measure thermal shape fluctuations in giant unilamellar vesicles. Lipid tilt, twist, and compression moduli are also reported
A Paper-Based Device for Ultrasensitive, Colorimetric Phosphate Detection in Seawater
High concentrations of certain nutrients, including phosphate, are known to lead to undesired algal growth and low dissolved oxygen levels, creating deadly conditions for organisms in marine ecosystems. The rapid and robust detection of these nutrients using a colorimetric, paper-based system that can be applied on-site is of high interest to individuals monitoring marine environments and others affected by marine ecosystem health. Several techniques for detecting phosphate have been reported previously, yet these techniques often suffer from high detection limits, reagent instability, and the need of the user to handle toxic reagents. In order to develop improved phosphate detection methods, the commonly used molybdenum blue reagents were incorporated into a paper-based, colorimetric detection system. This system benefited from improved stabilization of the molybdenum blue reagent as well as minimal user contact with toxic reagents. The colorimetric readout from the paper-based devices was analyzed and quantified using RGB analyses (via ImageJ), and resulted in the detection of phosphate at detection limits between 1.3 and 2.8 ppm in various aqueous media, including real seawater
Tort Law and Practice
Tort Law and Practice provides a rich context for the study of Tort Law. Teachers and students consistently rate this book highly. This innovative casebook thoroughly develops the core torts principles, and has many unique features, such as: Emphasis on contemporary cases while retaining the classic cases; Use of problems (with model answers for teachers) to facilitate learning and application; Variety of negligence duty issues to select from for classroom focus; Balanced presentation of alternative points of view; Inclusion of substantive and damages issues reflecting the diversity of U.S. society; Summary of contents at the beginning of each chapter to help students keep the concepts in focus; Boxed outline summaries and flow charts to facilitate learning; Ethical issues in personal injury cases discussed in context; and practice materials included to help students understand the process.
The Fifth Edition of Tort Law and Practice represents the authors\u27 continued efforts to humanize the subject matter of torts and to include issues reflecting the diversity of our society where relevant. Highlights of the new edition include: Chapter 3: Duty — Tarasoff doctrine: Estates of Morgan v. Fairfield Family Counseling Center Chapter 6: Damages — extensively reworked, and with a new section on Racial, Gender, Cohabitation & Class Fairness in Tort Chapter 8: Intentional Torts — New Cases: The Meaning of Intent (Doe v. Johnson) and Emotional Distress in Discrimination Cases (Graham v. Guilderland Central School District) Chapter 10: Products Liability — New Case on Deviation from Design Specs: Welge v. Planters Lifesavers Co. Chapter 12: Privacy — New Case on Intrusion: Stengart v. Loving Care Agency
The comprehensive Teacher\u27s Manual provides insights to the analysis of the cases, suggested teaching techniques, and model answers to the many problems in the casebook.https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/facultyteaching/1021/thumbnail.jp

Does linguistic input play the same role in language learning for children with and without early brain injury?
Children with unilateral pre- or perinatal brain injury (BI) show remarkable plasticity for language
learning. Previous work highlights the important role that lesion characteristics play in explaining
individual variation in plasticity in the language development of children with BI. The current study
examines whether the linguistic input that children with BI receive from their caregivers also contributes
to this early plasticity, and whether linguistic input plays a similar role in children with BI as it does in
typically developing (TD) children. Growth in vocabulary and syntactic production is modeled for 80
children (53 TD, 27 BI) between 14 and 46 months. Findings indicate that caregiver input is an equally
potent predictor of vocabulary growth in children with BI and in TD children. In contrast, input is a more
potent predictor of syntactic growth for children with BI than for TD children. Controlling for input,
lesion characteristics (lesion size, type, seizure history) also affect the language trajectories of children
with BI. Thus, findings illustrate how both variability in the environment (linguistic input) and variability
in the organism (lesion characteristics) work together to contribute to plasticity in language learning
Teaching Ourselves: A Model to Improve, Assess and Spread the Word
This paper presents a model for small, interdisciplinary groups of faculty to work together to improve their teaching while engaging in research that provides evidence of improved student learning. In doing so, we have developed a four-step process of faculty-driven scholarship of teaching and learning: Genesis, Organization, Implementation and Dissemination. We illustrate this model by describing our use of Fink’s (2003) concepts of course design to reshape our courses and assess the effectiveness of these changes through examination of student learning. We describe how others may follow this approach with a variety of applications

Genetic Variation in the Base Excision Repair Pathway, Environmental Risk Factors, and Colorectal Adenoma Risk
Cigarette smoking, high alcohol intake, and low dietary folate levels are risk factors for colorectal adenomas. Oxidative damage caused by these three factors can be repaired through the base excision repair pathway (BER). We hypothesized that genetic variation in BER might modify colorectal adenoma risk. In a sigmoidoscopy-based study, we examined associations between 182 haplotype tagging SNPs in 14 BER genes, and colorectal adenoma risk, and examined their potential role as modifiers of the effect cigarette smoking, alcohol intake, and dietary folate levels. Among all individuals, no statistically significant associations between BER SNPs and adenoma risk persisted after correction for multiple comparisons. However, among Asian-Pacific Islanders we observed two SNPs in FEN1 and one in NTHL1, and among African-Americans one SNP in APEX1 that were associated with colorectal adenoma risk. Significant associations were also observed between SNPs in the NEIL2 gene and rectal adenoma risk. Three SNPS modified the effect of smoking (MUTYH interaction p = 0.002; OGG1 interaction p = 0.013); FEN1 interaction p = 0.013)), one SNP in LIG3 modified the effect of alcohol consumption (interaction p = 0.024) and two SNPs in LIG3 modified the effect of dietary folate (interaction p = 0.001 and p = 0.08) on colorectal adenoma risk. These findings support a role for genetic variants in the BER pathway as potential modifiers of colorectal adenoma risk. Our findings strengthen the role of oxidative damage induced by key lifestyle and dietary risk factors in colorectal adenoma formation
