Phelan, Shelley A.; Szabo, Elizabeth – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
This sequence of labs was developed for an upper level undergraduate cell biology course at Fairfield University. The labs are based on the use of the K562 human erythroleukemia cell line, a model system that is exceptionally amenable to an undergraduate cell biology lab course due to its ease of maintenance and propagation and usefulness for…

Halepas, Steven; Hamchand, Randy; Lindeyer, Samuel E. D.; Bru¨ckner, Christian – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
A laboratory experiment is described that extracts the tetrapyrrolic teal-colored biliverdin IXa, as its dimethyl ester, from commercially available emu eggshells. The extraction of ~10 mg samples of biliverdin is simple and requires two 3 h lab periods: A two-step acid digestion and liquid-liquid extraction, followed by short silica gel flash…

Daniel Dante Anastasio – ProQuest LLC, 2015
The laboratory course is one of the most critical classes in any engineering program. Engineering by its very nature is a practical discipline, and the laboratory course is usually the first and only class where students are given the opportunity to apply the knowledge they are gaining in lecture courses to real-world equipment. As chemical…

Greig, Jeffrey; And Others – 1994
Connecticut is developing a new grade 10 statewide testing program known as the Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT). The CAPT reflects the changing nature of standardized assessment by using a variety of assessment formats including performance tasks, open-ended questions, and multiple-choice tests. This paper describes the research that…
