Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK) catalyzes the decarboxylation and phosphorylation of oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the gluconeogenic pathway in most organisms. A pckA gene encoding PCK was cloned and sequenced from strain Rhizobium pusense NRCPB100, a spontaneous rifampicin resistant mutant of R. pusense NRCPB10 (JCM16209) of a recently described new species of a non-nodulating...

PURPOSE This research determined the psychometric quality of a criterion-referenced measure that was thought to measure preschoolers' print-concept knowledge (PCK). METHOD This measure, titled the Preschool Word and Print Awareness (PWPA), was examined using the partial credit model (PCM) to determine its suitability for use by clinicians, educators, and researchers. The extent to which the P...

Abstract Reading, at its core, is a basic yet critical way to undertake learning and growth. This paper shares professional development initiative for science educators, which was underpinned by the popularity premise of reading group.

Abstract There is a recognized need for research on how to teach computer programming in primary schools Sweden grades 4–6 (10–12-year-old pupils). Studies of teaching show the importance teachers’ knowledge content and pedagogy these two parts affect each other (i.e. pedagogical [PCK]). Most teachers have little or no formal education programming, revised Swedish curriculum requires them it. T...

Rationale for dietary advice in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is based in part on animal studies that have examined non-orthologous models with progressive development of cystic disease. Since no model completely mimics human PKD, the purpose of the current studies was to examine the effects of dietary soy protein (compared to casein) or oils enriched in omega-3 fatty acids (fish or flax oil ...

In dieser Studie wird untersucht, welche inhaltlich und strukturell unterschiedlichen Merkmalsausprägungen ein Professionswissen annehmen kann, das dimensionsübergreifend zwischen literaturwissenschaftlichem pädagogischem Wissen vernetzt. Im Fokus Untersuchung steht somit pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) von Lehramtsstudierenden. Einer aus Bachelor- Masterstudierenden des Faches Deutsch best...

In the current study, we address calls for research on complex nature of integrations pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components. This is a multiple case study six middle-school pre-service teachers (PSTs) as they taught science in their school practicum. We investigated PSTs’ integration between students’ understanding (KSU) and instructional strategies (KIS), sources these integrations. T...
