"Many eukaryotic cells make and release small pockets of membrane called extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs facilitate communication between cells in an organism and can transport many molecules like proteins, RNA, and lipids. Plants are no exception, and many types of EVs can be isolated from their juice, flesh, and roots. In the plants themselves, these EVs facilitate a range of critical functions like immunity, development, and plant–fungi communication. But EVs derived from plants could even have a place in human medicine. In particular, these EVS could be used to transport medications. Plant-derived EVs are more biodegradable and typically less expensive to generate than conventional synthetic carriers, as they can be extracted in bulk. This field is in its early stages, but studies have suggested that plant-derived EVs may also be less toxic and allergenic than conventional carriers..."

"The human protein Tid-1 sits at the nexus of many key cellular processes and signaling pathways. These processes include cellular proliferation, growth, survival, aging, apoptosis, and even movement. Tid-1 is a member of the heat shock protein 40 family and helps other proteins fold correctly after translation or refold after a damaging stress event. Dysregulated Tid-1 behavior is involved in numerous human diseases including cancers, cardiomyopathies, and neurodegenerative disorders. Given its wide influence within the cell, Tid-1 could be a key biomarker or even therapeutic target for these diseases, but to leverage Tid-1 effectively, researchers need to understand its functionality in detail. To this end, a team of scientists consolidated the current research on human Tid-1. They found that Tid-1’s protein-protein interactions corresponded to its roles in various diseases and provide insight into how Tid-1 affects pathogenic developments..."

"What’s the best way to control pain after a cesarean section? Women who give birth by C-section typically receive a spinal anesthetic, usually with a small amount of morphine to control pain after surgery. A more novel technique known as the quadratus lumborum block, in which anesthetic is injected into the waist area, might be able to provide even more pain relief. But the method hasn’t been consistently studied. Now, a meta-analysis from researchers from the Universities of Ottawa and Toronto in Canada and the Ohio State University finds that the quadratus lumborum block doesn’t offer a benefit on top of or in place of morphine -- but it does improve pain control when morphine isn’t used. Some scientists have reported that the quadratus lumborum block improves pain control after a C-section. Because the anesthetic is given next to the quadratus lumborum muscle, the block might be able to treat the somatic pain of the C-section incision along with the surgery’s visceral pain..."

In this activity, students will play a bingo game in order to help practice recognizing radicals used in Chinese characters. Students will be shown a radical, and will then search for a vocabulary word that contains that radical. Students will also practice tones and pronunciation by reading out their winning vocabulary at the end of each round of bingo.

"Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound structures released by cells into the surrounding environment. EVs carry various biomolecules including proteins, DNA, RNA, and lipids and play critical roles in intercellular communication, including influencing the behavior and function of recipient cells. EVs have great potential in the clinical environment as diagnostic markers, treatment delivery vehicles, or therapeutic targets. However, to best utilize them researchers need to understand the mechanisms influencing EVs. Significant progress has been made in understanding the factors that regulate communication between cells via EVs, but there is still much to learn about what regulates EV targeting and uptake by recipient cells. Also, little is currently known about cargo release and relocation within the recipient cell. This is due to the extremely small size of EVs and a lack of imaging technology to visualize them..."

This lab will practice different skills learned throughout the semester through the use of a board game. The game is focused on Deaf culture, describing physical appearance, and the five parameters of signs. The students will play the game together and work on their communication skills throughout by answering and engaging with the game cards.

This lab allows students to review what they've learned so far. Students will play a variety of games to better their sign skills. The games involve vocabulary, fingerspelling and physical descriptions.

In this activity, students will review concepts covered throughout the semester by answering questions in a Jeopardy game. The questions will involve translation, vocabulary, and some questions about Chinese Culture.

These worksheets, provided by Barbara Gilbert, review mathematics concepts that are necessary in physics, including linear equations, quadratic equations, unit conversion, significant figures, and trigonometry.

Sick of doing "article reviews", "book reviews", "short story reviews"?Look at it from a different angle: a literary review is only one of many faces that a review can have. You can do daily reviews on your own mood swings, or manga books, or subway stations.You don't even have to make it structured (unless later on you're planning to have an hours-long argument with someone scrupulous over whether your work is a review or a reflection, but we'll get to that).A review, in oral, written or any recorded form is a great way to add a little something to an ongoing conversation about any subject. If you want to make a good impression, you can call it "a considerable contribution to an existing discourse". Let's start with the most basic typology.Narrative review - as you can guess from the word "narrative", it's rather unstructured. It tends to answer the questions like "why", "how", "who", "what was the purpose", "what do we know so far" etc. The number of sources in a narrative review Systematic literature review - you can find it in dissertations and research articles. Usually it makes up a complete chapter of the work and the goal is to look through what the researchers had to say on that matter before. Has the object been thoroughly researched before - or is there something new to say? Were the results controversial; hence, in need of more evidence?Review (a.k.a literary review, unstructured review, free-writing, feedback, opinion) - is the kind of thing you've got used to starting from school, ending with Yelp.So if you're googling "something + review", you're most likely to land on the last of the three (plain "review"). It's fairly unstructured and intentionally subjective. Although, we should give online feedback forms and websites like Yelp and Omni some credit - they're making the Internet used to structuring users' impressions in a certain way. For instance, there's usually a date - a date when a review was made, or when the product was purchased. There's also the name of the facility or seller, and (more often than not) a location. Besides that, these forms and websites offer to rate one's overall experience star-wise, thus giving the whole feedback an emotional vector. You can't expect a long description of how good the facility was from a three-star feedback, can you?When you're googling something like "gaining muscle in two months scientific evidence", the chances are high that you'll land on a narrative review or a systematic review, depending on whether you're using google.com or scholar.google.com. Ideally, Google Scholar is a target search engine for objective research-based unbiased information (or at least as unbiased as it can get for a wide audience). But if you're new to a subject, a narrative review found on google.com isn't the worst thing to read. Just remember to stay critical.Do's and Don'tsDo your research. Regardless of the kind of review you're reading or writing, spend a minute or two researching it. It's called "eliminating the human factor".Do question the validity. Why did you/author come to these conclusions? What was the background? What was the context? Did anyone ever try to repeat that?Don't put all your hopes and trust on the first review you're reading. Even if it's a structured review found in an established academic journal. The first thing you've read on the subject is excellent for coordinating you in the field, but not enough to get yourself committed to one solid point of view.Don't act subjective on purpose. Even if it's an eBay feedback. Always try to go for a bigger picture - this is what reviews have been created for after all!

This activity is a review focusing on fingerspelling and vocabulary. There are predetermined categories provided, and both activities are done in teams/small groups. However, they can be adapted to individual work/whole class group.

In this activity, students will review by talking about things revolving around the university, family, and vacations, using memorized vocabulary. Students will be interviewed by each other based on scenarios provided. Students will ask and answer questions entirely in Spanish.

Students will further review topics they have covered this semester as well as be able to answer questions about personal preferences.

Students will play a game called "Colorful Vocabulary". Students will practice describing people, places, and items using a game. This will teach students how to describe multiple topics using different vocabulary words.
