Designing and evaluating a neuroanatomy learning experience using multiple external representations

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomy is challenging, requiring multiple external representations (MER) for comprehension. While studies have examined individual representations of neuroanatomy, a gap remains in understanding how students link across MER, especially between technology‐generated representations with everyday experiences.

Expansion and evolutionary patterns of cysteine-rich peptides in plants

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Cysteine-rich peptides (CRPs) are gaining recognition as regulators of cell–cell communication in plants. Results We identified 9556 CRPs in 12 plant species and analysed their evolutionary patterns.

‘It is not a topic that should be assessed by a test’: Understanding teachers' assessment literacy in the teaching of ‘difficult histories’ such as the Holocaust

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores how history teachers in secondary education in England (a) see their role as assessors and (b) how they make decisions about assessing a difficult history: learning about the Holocaust. Assessment literacy (AL) is recognised as a potentially valuable aspect of good teaching and central to supporting students' learning ...

Pearprocess: A new phenotypic tool for stone cell trait evaluation in pear fruit

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
The content of stone cells is an important factor for pear breeding as a high content indicates severely reduced fruit quality in terms of fruit taste.

Flourishing through adventure learning: A (semi)cautionary tale

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies suggest that adventure learning can develop children's cognitive skills and promote social and emotional learning. However, evidence is needed as to whether the design of adventure learning—school‐based or external/residential—plays a role in that development/promotion, and whether learning gains are maintained.

Genome-wide analysis of polygalacturonase gene family from pear genome and identification of the member involved in pear softening

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Polygalacturonase (PG), as an important hydrolase participating in the degradation of pectin, plays an important role in softening process of fruit.

The Impact of Sustainability Labelling on Consumers' Evaluation and Choice of Food Products: A Systematic Literature Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The last five years of research on sustainability labelling, reported in 175 journal articles, documents its effectiveness in increasing consumer choices of more sustainable food products. Some sustainability labels come out as stronger than others and their impact varies across products, countries, and individual consumers, depending on label

SEASONAL OLIGOPOLY POWER IN THE D'ANJOU PEAR INDUSTRY [PDF]

We estimate seasonal oligopoly power at a disaggregated variety level in the D'Anjou pear market. Our data spans 1993 to 2000, during which time imported pears became more prevalent in the U.S. market.

Innovation in pear management techniques

While most temperate fruit crops appear to undergo very dynamic changes in cultivars, rootstocks, yields, etc., pear seems to be the slow and least changing one.
