Heathland creation on improved grassland using sulphur: is there a conflict between optimal application rates for plant and animal communities? [PDF]

open access: yes
We examined the effectiveness of using elemental sulphur (a soil acidifier) as a method for creating heathland on improved pasture. We determined i) optimal rate of sulphur application to control mesotrophic grasses ii) if invertebrates avoid areas of ...

What It Feels Like To Hear Voices: Fond Memories of Julian Jaynes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2008
Julian Jaynes's profound humanitarian convictions not only prevented him from going to war, but would have prevented him from ever kicking a dog. Yet according to his theory, not only are language-less dogs unconscious, but so too were the speaking/hearing Greeks in the Bicameral Era, when they heard gods' voices telling them what to do rather than ...

Remodeling pedagogical evaluation tools to incorporate student self‐efficacy and sense of belonging in scientific research

open access: yesBiochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 117-125, March/April 2025.
Abstract Curated undergraduate research experiences have been widely used at colleges and universities for decades to build student interest, technical preparation, and confidence in the pursuit of scientific careers. Educators often employ standardized survey instruments to evaluate learning outcomes for research experiences, but many of these ...

Identifying Synapses Using Deep and Wide Multiscale Recursive Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
In this work, we propose a learning framework for identifying synapses using a deep and wide multi-scale recursive (DAWMR) network, previously considered in image segmentation applications. We apply this approach on electron microscopy data from invertebrate fly brain tissue.

Evaluating the effectiveness of virtual laboratory simulations for graduate‐level training in genetic methodologies

open access: yesBiochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Virtual Labs (vLabs) have been gaining popularity in high school and undergraduate education, but there are few studies looking at their use in graduate‐level courses. In this study, we investigated the use of six Labster vLabs assigned as homework in a graduate‐level in‐person Genomic Methodologies course at the University of Toronto.

Steroid Receptors and Vertebrate Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Considering that life on earth evolved about 3.7 billion years ago, vertebrates are young, appearing in the fossil record during the Cambrian explosion about 542 to 515 million years ago. Results from sequence analyses of genomes from bacteria, yeast, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates indicate that receptors for adrenal steroids (aldosterone ...
