Fulfilling the Promise of Crop Biotechnology
Roger Beachy is the founding president of the non-profit Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in Saint Louis, Missouri. Beachy pioneered the development of virus-resistant plants through biotechnology; his early research led to the development of the world's first genetically modified food crop, a virus-resistant tomato. His laboratory conducts basic research on plant biology, and uses recombinant DNA-based technologies to improve crop plants like rice and sweet potato that are grown in developi
At War over Biotech Crops in Oregon
After many years practicing law, Esther McGinnis is now a researcher in Applied Plant Sciences at the University of Minnesota, specializing in biotechnology, law, and values.
McGinnis will explain how Oregon's beet farmers came to be at the center of a national lawsuit, and examine how to protect the rights of both conventional and organic growers. She'll also summarize research comparing the environmental impacts of growing engineered and non-engineered sugar beets.
Outreach in Biotechnology
Jason Ideker- Innovative Materials at Oregon State University
At Oregon State, sustainable practices aren't limited to a lifestyle: they're built into our curriculum as well. Assistant Professor Jason Ideker teaches in the School of Civil and Construction Engineering.
Cultural and Resource Centers at Oregon State University
OSU's seven cultural and resource centers - http://oregonstate.edu/main/campus-diversity are for students and community members who are looking for safe environments where they can learn about issues of identity, culture, heritage, history and self expression. They're also places where the OSU community and the community at large can build relationships. Watch our video and see what the cultural and resource centers can offer you.
Benefits of Electronic Medical Records
Corey Angst, Assistant Professor of Management in the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business, is expert on health information technology. He conducts research on the transformational effect of IT, technology usage and IT value. He is a proponent of national digitization of health record information and believes electronic medical records (EMRs) would standardize processes, increase efficiencies and greatly diminish the potential for medical errors.
Preparing for Surgery (Spanish)
This patient education program promotes understanding of the surgical process and preparation for surgery. By understanding the different steps, patients can help healthcare providers ensure a successful operation and a fast recovery. This is a MedlinePlus Interactive Health Tutorial from the National Library of Medicine, designed and developed by the Patient Education Institute.
Structural Mechanics II and Exercises
After showing how to use "conjugate simultaneous linear equation" to express both "equilibrium equation" and "transformation equation" of the mechanics of truss structure as well as using an identity equation which is just as simple as linear algebra, we are going to explain how to prove the law of virtual work, and also explain the significance of it through examples.
Action of drugs that target ion channels
This learning resource introduces ion channels as target for drug action.
Educational Journals
This learning object introduces educational journals and describes three types: Academic, Professional and Subject. The examples used are drawn from the area of social work, but the concepts are cross-discipline.
What is Evidence Based Practice?
This RLO introduces the concept of evidence based practice and explains, in outline, how evidence based practice is done.
Levels of Measurement: what you can and can't do arithmetically
An explanation of the statistical operations that can be performed on the different levels of measurement.
Volume of distribution
Explains the pharmacological concept of Volume of Distribution, and how it is calculated.
