Higher Network Activity Induced by Tactile Compared to Electrical Stimulation of Leech Mechanoreceptors [PDF]
, 2018 The tiny ensemble of neurons in the leech ganglion can discriminate the locations of touch stimuli on the skin as precisely as a human fingertip. The leech uses this ability to locally bend the body-wall away from the stimulus. It is assumed that a three-

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.Abstract Background Parent‐led, preschool language interventions may help to mitigate the risk of poor language and literacy outcomes associated with lower socioeconomic status. This study builds on two previous evaluations of a parent‐led early language teaching programme, which demonstrated mixed findings.

Which Knowledge Do Pre‐Service Teachers Need to Meaningfully Engage in Modeling?
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Modeling involves a set of scientific practices that pre‐service science teachers struggle with. These practices involve constructing, predicting, testing, and revising models. Engaging meaningfully in modeling practices leads modelers to gain new insights about phenomena.

A Bird's Eye View of English Grammar: Connecting the Dots in Two Dimensions
TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Over the past few decades, discussions on grammar instruction have primarily focused on teaching methodologies, such as whether grammar should be taught explicitly or implicitly, and whether the focus should be on form or forms. This paper, however, shifts the focus to grammar itself, aiming to provide a “shape” for pedagogical grammar.

Encoding of Tactile Stimuli by Mechanoreceptors and Interneurons of the Medicinal Leech [PDF]
, 2016 For many animals processing of tactile information is a crucial task in behavioral contexts like exploration, foraging, and stimulus avoidance. The leech, having infrequent access to food, developed an energy efficient reaction to tactile stimuli ...

‘A Sort of Armed Argument’: Ireland's Civil War of Words
History, EarlyView.Abstract This article sets out to contribute to the study of the languages of European civil wars through outlining and analysing the deployment of language as a weapon by the opposing sides of the Irish independence movement that split over the terms of the Anglo‐Irish Treaty of December 1921.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...
