I would like to re e t upon the ways Pure Data software an improve and reate ontexts for meaningful learning. Following the work of Paulo Freire, latin ameri an edu ator from the sixties, I will highlight the relevan e of reating edu ative environments that be ome embedded with the pra ti es that people develop and refuse o ial one ognitive style instru tional models. Paulo Freire (1974) indi a...

Ethylene production, as well as the expression of ethylene biosynthetic (Rh-ACS1-4 and Rh-ACO1) and receptor (Rh-ETR1-5) genes, was determined in five different floral tissues (sepals, petals, stamens, gynoecia, and receptacles) of cut rose (Rosa hybrida cv. Samantha upon treatment with ethylene or the ethylene inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). Ethylene-enhanced ethylene production occurr...

We tested the involvement of ethylene in maize (Zea mays L.) root gravitropism by measuring the kinetics of curvature and lateral auxin movement in roots treated with ethylene, inhibitors of ethylene synthesis, or inhibitors of ethylene action. In the presence of ethylene the latent period of gravitropic curvature appeared to be increased somewhat. However, ethylene-treated roots continued to...

The ethylene response is negatively regulated by a family of five ethylene receptor genes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The five members of the ethylene receptor family can physically interact and form complexes, which implies that cooperativity for signaling may exist among the receptors. The ethylene receptor gene mutations etr1-1((C65Y))(for ethylene response1-1), ers1-1((I62P)) (fo...

Exposure of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) flowers to ethylene evokes the developmental program of petal senescence. The temporal relationship of several aspects of this developmental program following treatment with ethylene was investigated. Exposure of mature, presenescent flowers to 7.5 microliters per liter ethylene for at least 6 hours induced petal in-rolling and premature senescen...

Adult stem cells face the challenge of maintaining tissue homeostasis by self-renewal while maintaining their proliferation potential over the lifetime of an organism. Continuous proliferation can cause genotoxic/metabolic stress that can compromise the genomic integrity of stem cells. To prevent stem cell exhaustion, highly proliferative adult tissues maintain a pool of quiescent stem cells th...

PURPOSE To investigate the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of icariside II (ICA II) on reversing diabetic nephropathy in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type I diabetic rats. METHODS Newborn male Sprague Dawley rats were labeled with thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) for tracking endogenous label retaining progenitor cells (LRCs). At age of 8 weeks, 48 rats were random...

the process of ethylene production from ethane dehydrogenation is one of the interesting processes in the field of conversion the petroleum light gases to the valuable products. in this process, the outlet gaseous product is a combination of ethylene, ethane and hydrogen. effective separation techniques are required for separation of ethylene from unreacted ethane. here a new adsorbent approach...

Cellulysin-induced ethylene production in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaf discs was enhanced several-fold by prior exposure of the leaf tissue to ethylene. This enhancement in the response of the tissue to Cellulysin increased rapidly during 4 and 8 hours of pretreatment with ethylene and resulted from greater conversion of methionine to ethylene. On treatment with Cellulysin, the content o...

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of icariside II (ICA II) on improving diabetic nephropathy (DN) in streptozotocin (STZ) induced type I diabetic rats. Methods: Newborn male Sprague-Dawley rats were labeled with thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) for tracking endogenous label retaining progenitor cells (LRCs). At age of 8 weeks, 16 rats were...
