Glutathione depletion triggers actin cytoskeleton changes via actin-binding proteins by Nahum Zepeta-Flores (5342177)

“…These changes were sufficient to trigger the co-localization of the three proteins towards cytoplasmic projections. Our data confirm that a decrease in GSH in the absence of oxidative stress can transiently inhibit the actin binding proteins and that this stimulus is sufficient to induce changes in cellular morphology via the actin cytoskeleton.…”

Effects of density and sunlight on diameter of silver maple trees by Hira Qadri (630997)

“…Sunlight was recorded as the percent of sky seen through the canopy of the tree. A distance of 5 meters from the edge of the previously sampled tree was walked along a transect and 10 steps north plus 5 steps east were taken to select the next closest maple tree. …”

Datasheet1_Assessing sustainment of health worker outcomes beyond program end: Evaluation results from an infant and young child feeding intervention in Bangladesh.docx by Corrina Moucheraud (439348)

“…Between baseline and endline, the intervention increased health workers' knowledge (3.5-point increase in knowledge scores in intervention areas, vs. 1.5-point increase in comparison areas, p < 0.0001); and this improvement persisted to post-endline, suggesting a sustained program effect on knowledge. …”
