They taught one Circuits I class grade of “C” or better, 83% using traditional methods, where students listened to a lecture in a large auditorium, and then went home and did their homework. The following semester they taught of the flipped classroom the same class but used the flipped classroom method, asking students to watch the lectures online, and then come to class to work in small collaborative groups, students did the same—a exchanging ideas and solving problems, essentially doing their homework together. nearly 30% improvement.” The results were undeniable. While only 56% of the beginning engineering students taught traditionally received a grade of “C” or better, 83% of the flipped classroom students did the same—a nearly 30% improvement that also reduced the number of students who dropped the class from 28% to just 2%. -

2021-2022 1 THE UNIVERSITY Mission Statement Tulane’s purpose is to create, communicate and conserve knowledge in order to enrich the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities to think, to learn, and to act and lead with integrity and wisdom. Tulane pursues this mission by cultivating an environment that focuses on learning and the generation of new knowledge; by expecting and rewarding teaching and research of extraordinarily high quality and impact; and by fostering community-building initiatives as well as scientific, cultural and social understanding that integrate with and strengthen learning and research. This mission is pursued in the context of the unique qualities of our location in New Orleans and our continual aspiration to be a truly distinctive international university. History Tulane University, one of the foremost independent national research universities in the country, is ranked among the top quartile of the nation’s most highly selective universities. With ten schools and colleges that range from the liberal arts and sciences through a full spectrum of professional schools, Tulane gives its students a breadth of choice equaled by few other independent universities in the country. Tulane University’s ten academic divisions enroll approximately 8,000 undergraduates and about 5,000 graduate and professional students. The schools of Architecture, Business, Liberal Arts, Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and Science and Engineering offer both undergraduate and graduate programs. Other divisions include the schools of Law, Medicine, Social Work and Professional Advancement. Tulane traces it origins back to the founding of the Medical College of Louisiana, the Deep South’s first medical school, in 1834. -

STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF FLORIDA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FISCAL YEAR JUNE 30, 2009 UWF FSU FAMU UNF UF UCF USF NCF FAU FGCU FIU FOREWORD The financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 for the State Universities of Florida are included in this report and are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to public colleges and universities as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standard Board’s (GASB) statements. The Universities also adhere to the recommendations of the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO). The Universities are component units of the State of Florida for financial reporting purposes. The financial balances and activities included in these financial statements are, therefore, also included in the State’s comprehensive annual financial report available at www.state.fl.us/audgen/pages/subjects/university.htm. In addition, as required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 14, the latest audited financial statements of the State Universities of Florida component units are included in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets. The accompanying Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Notes form an integral part of the financial statements. While these statements are unaudited, the Florida Auditor General’s staff is currently completing an individual audit of each university’s financial statements. Questions concerning this report should be directed to Chris Kinsley, Director of Finance and Facilities, Florida Board of Governors, State University System of Florida at (850) 245-9607 or [email protected]. or Kristie Harris, Director of University Budgets, Office of Budget and Fiscal Policy, Florida Board of Governors, State University System of Florida at (850) 245-9757 or [email protected]. -

Description – 1. Describe the service or program to be provided and how this issue aligns with the goals and objectives of the strategic priorities and the 2020 University Accountability Plan established by your institution (include whether this is a new or expanded service/program). If expanded, what has been accomplished with the current service/program? 2. Describe any projected impact on academic programs, student enrollments, and student services. University of Distinction proposals should also address the requirements outlined in the separate guidance document. The University of Florida recently announced it is embarking on an ambitious public- private partnership with NVIDIA, a pioneer in graphical processing units and artificial intelligence hardware, that will position both UF and the State of Florida as a global leader in the groundbreaking field of artificial intelligence (AI). This partnership is anchored by a $50 million gift -- $25 million from UF alumnus Chris Malachowsky and $25 million in hardware, software, training and services from NVIDIA, the Silicon Valley-based technology company he cofounded. UF will invest $20 million (funded from existing university resources) to further increase the return and impact of this gift. -
The Impact of Multiple Climatic and Geographic Factors on the Chemical Defences of Asian Toads (Bufo Gargarizans Cantor)
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The impact of multiple climatic and geographic factors on the chemical defences of Asian toads (Bufo gargarizans Cantor) Yueting Cao, Keke Cui, Hongye Pan, Jiheng Wu & Longhu Wang* Chemical defences are widespread in nature, yet we know little about whether and how climatic and geographic factors afect their evolution. In this study, we investigated the natural variation in the concentration and composition of the main bufogenin toxin in adult Asian toads (Bufo gargarizans Cantor) captured in twenty-two regions. Moreover, we explored the relative importance of eight climatic factors (average temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average relative humidity, 20–20 time precipitation, maximum continuous precipitation, maximum ground temperature, and minimum ground temperature) in regulating toxin production. We found that compared to toads captured from central and southwestern China, toads from eastern China secreted higher concentrations of cinobufagin (CBG) and resibufogenin (RBG) but lower concentrations of telocinobufagin (TBG) and cinobufotalin (CFL). All 8 climatic variables had signifcant efects on bufogenin production (ri>0.5), while the plastic response of bufogenin toxin to various climate factors was highly variable. The most important climatic driver of total bufogenin production was precipitation: the bufogenin concentration increased with increasing precipitation. This study indicated that the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in chemical defences may depend at least partly on the geographic variation of defensive toxins and their climatic context. Chemical defences is ubiquitous in nature and can serve for deterring predators, competitors, parasites, and path- ogens1–3. Many species can secrete a large diversity of toxic defensive compounds for self-protection. -
Preeclampsia: Cardiotonic Steroids, Fibrosis, Fli1 and Hint to Carcinogenesis

In this review, we present a new theory of the etiology and pathogenesis of preeclampsia that is based on the interaction of Na/K-ATPase and its endogenous ligands in- cluding marinobufagenin. The signaling pathway of marinobufagenin involves an inhibition of transcriptional factor Fli1, a negative regulator of collagen synthesis, followed by the deposition of collagen in the vascular tissues and altered vascular functions. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo neutralization of marinobufagenin is associated with the restoration of Fli1. The inverse relationship Citation: Agalakova, N.I.; Kolodkin, between marinobufagenin and Fli1 opens new possibilities in the treatment of cancer; as Fli1 is N.I.; Adair, C.D.; Trashkov, A.P.; a proto-oncogene, a hypothesis on the suppression of Fli1 by cardiotonic steroids as a potential Bagrov, A.Y. -
