    Iowa Academy of Science The New Bulletin Volume 5 Number 2 Summer 2009 The Iowa Academy of Science is established to further scientific research and its dissemination, education in the sciences, public understanding of science, and recognition of excellence in these endeavors. Message from the Executive Director Dear Academy Members, Summer has been moving by quickly and I hope the time has been both productive and enjoyable for you. This issue of the IAS Bulletin is available only online and will help you catch up on some Academy activities. We have four public programs scheduled as part of the IAS Saylorville Speaker Series. The June pro- gram by David Brenzel and Holmes Semken on Iowa Giant Ground Sloths drew an audience of 25 in- cluding children. It is wonderful to see families at these events. Check the schedule in this issue for the remaining presentations. The ISTS Leadership has once again put together an excellent program for the Fall Conference to be held October 27th & 28th in Des Moines. More information is found inside this issue and at http:// ists.pls.uni.edu/. The Academy was notified in June that the Iowa Science Foundation received full funding of $50,000 this year. That was great news considering the economic situation. A total of 28 grant requests were received by the ISF Committee with 10 proposals receiving funding. The next issue of the Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science will have a new look. Its cover will sport a full color photo related to an article inside. We plan to make the color cover a permanent addition to the Journal.

  • REA Compendium 2013
    A Compendium of Successful, Innovative Retention Programs and Practices Winners of the Lee Noel & Randi Levitz Retention Excellence Awards 1989–2012 The following pages provide brief descriptions of programs that have been recognized in the Lee Noel and Randi Levitz Retention Excellence Awards Program sponsored by Noel-Levitz. The program was established in 1989 to honor the retention achievements of post-secondary institutions throughout North America. Each year, awards are given to recognize the most successful, state-of-the-art retention programs in use at many different kinds of institutions, with many different target groups of students. Nominees for awards are judged on identifiable and measurable institutional outcomes, originality and creativity, use of resources, and adaptability for use at other institutions. Winners are selected by a national panel comprising leading campus-based retention practitioners. Since the program began, 31 community colleges, 31 private, and 98 public colleges and universities have been honored with Retention Excellence Awards. As a result of this national exposure, these award-winning programs have served as models of retention excellence to stimulate the creativity and energy of hundreds of two-year and four-year institutions. For more information about the Lee Noel and Randi Levitz Retention Excellence Awards Program, please write to Retention Excellence Awards, Noel-Levitz, 2350 Oakdale Boulevard, Coralville, IA 52241. © 2012, Noel-Levitz, Inc. 1 Compendium – Lee Noel & Randi Levitz Retention Excellence

  • Norman Borlaug
    Norman Borlaug Melinda Smale, Michigan State University I’d like to offer some illustrative examples of how scientific partnerships and exchange of plant genetic resources in international agricultural research have generated benefits for US farmers and consumers. 1. It is widely accepted that the greatest transformation in world agriculture of the last century was the Green Revolution, which averted famine particularly in the wheat and rice-growing areas of numerous countries in Asia by boosting levels of farm productivity several times over, lowering prices for consumers, raising income and demand for goods and services. Most of us here are familiar with the history of this transformation. • You will remember that the key technological impetus was short- statured varieties that were fertilizer responsive and didn’t fall over in the field when more of the plant’s energy was poured into grain rather than the stalk and leaves. • Less well known is that the origin of the genes that conferred short- stature in wheat was a landrace from Korea--transferred to Japan, named Daruma, and bred into Norin 10. Norin 10 was named for a Japanese research station, tenth selection from a cross. Later, Norin 10 was brought as a seed sample by an agronomist advisor who served in the MacArthur campaign after WWII. At Washington State University it was crossed to produce important US wheat varieties. The most extensive use of Norin 10 genes outside Japan and the US was by Norman Borlaug, who won the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize. He was the founder of the World Food Prize (won, for example, by Gebisa Ejeta).

This article provides a critical review of some theoretical and statistical concepts in the context of genomic- assisted genetic evaluation of animals and crops. First, relationships between the (Bayesian) variance of marker effects in some regression models and additive genetic variance are examined under standard assumptions. Second, the connection between marker genotypes and resemblance between relatives is explored, and linkages between a marker-based model and the infinitesimal model are reviewed. Third, issues associated with the use of Bayesian models for marker-assisted selection, with a focus on the role of the priors, are examined from a theoretical angle. The sensitivity of a Bayesian specification that has been proposed (called ‘‘Bayes A’’) with respect to priors is illustrated with a simulation.

  • British Suzuki Institute Teacher List
    British Suzuki Institute Teacher List Welcome to the BSI's list of registered Suzuki teachers. All the teachers listed here have trained with the BSI or with another accredited Suzuki body and they are current BSI members, so you can be assured that your child will be receiving an ESA (European Suzuki Association) accredited Suzuki education. There are currently UK Suzuki teachers for violin, viola, recorder, piano, flute, double bass and cello, in addition to Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE). Teaching in the UK is done on a private basis - please contact individual teachers for lesson times and fees. Most children will receive a weekly individual lesson and regular group sessions. Some teachers run group sessions among their own pupils, others join with other local Suzuki teachers to form larger and more organised Suzuki groups. 'LSG' stands for the London Suzuki Group, a large membership organisation for London-based Suzuki teachers and families. Please note that if there is no telephone number or email address listed for a teacher, the BSI is unable to give out these details to the public - we are only able to publish or pass on the details specified by individual teachers. The list is sorted by instrument then region, town/county, postcode and surname. We would avise that you check through the whole region, or neighbouring regions if you live on a border, to ensure that you don't miss a teacher living or working in your area. You should be able to use the 'Find' facility at the top of your PDF window to search for a key name or location.

  • Introduction How the Child Lost Its Tail
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-12752-4 - Evolution and Imagination in Victorian Children’s Literature Jessica Straley Excerpt More information Introduction How the child lost its tail “Come away, children,” said the otter in disgust, “it is not worth eating, after all. It is only a nasty eft, which nothing eats, not even those vulgar pike in the pond.” “I am not an eft!” said Tom; “Efts have tails.” “You are an eft,” said the otter, very positively; “I see your two hands quite plain, and I know you have a tail.” “I tell you I have not,” said Tom. “Look here!” and he turned his pretty little self quite round; and, sure enough, he had no more tail 1 than you. Only three years after Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species (1859) brought the theory of evolution by natural selection to the British reading public, Charles Kingsley converted it into a child’stale.InThe Water-Babies: A Fairy Tale for a Land-Baby (serialized 1862–1863), an orphaned chimney sweep named Tom falls into a river and is suddenly metamorphosed into an newtlike “water-baby.” From this new animalized starting point, he must re- evolve back into a human boy, but just how bestial Tom’snewbodyis remains ambiguous. The narrator tells us that Tom is now “3.87902 inches long, and having round the parotid region of his fauces a set of external gills 2 (I hope you understand all the big words) just like those of a sucking eft.” Though Tom has the anatomical features of an eft and is not sure what other specieshemightbe,hedrawsthelineattheotter’s assertion that he has a tail.
