The article’s emphasis on introducing electron-withdrawing groups (such as NO₂) to improve antibacterial activity connects to what we learned about how substituents affect molecular reactivity and interactions. Electron-withdrawing groups can stabilize charge distribution and enhance intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding. This is consistent with the observation that compound 5c, which contains a nitro group, showed improved antibacterial activity. This relates to concepts from organic chemistry where substituents influence both reactivity and molecular binding through inductive and resonance effects.

The synthesis of the target compounds illustrates a lot of the simple reactions we have learned about in class. In the first step, we see the use of a tosylate to convert an alcohol into a great leaving group, exhibited on the left side of the pleuromutilin. We see the alcohol replaced with a thioester in the second arrow, using reagents we have seen before; triethyl amine in a solvent DMF. In the next set of three arrows, we see the addition of acyl chlorides (or benzoyls) to secondary amines, producing tertiary amides. The penultimate arrow contains another example of this carbonyl chemistry, with another nucleophilic attack on an acyl chloride by a primary amine to create a secondary amide.

The synthesis of these pleuromutilin derivatives involves nucleophilic substitution reactions, such as when the hydroxyl group is activated with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and later replaced by thioguanine. This connects directly to reactions learned in organic chemistry, where a good leaving group (like a tosylate) is formed to allow substitution. It also relates to how modifying functional groups (like adding thioether or urea groups) can change biological activity, similar to structure–activity relationships discussed in class.

Annotation #2 - CONNECT:

In Table 1, as shown below, there is the utilization of a variety of solvents such as DMSO, DMF, and THF. As known about nucleophilic substitution reactions, especially ones that are SN2, the utilization of polar, operatic solvents for this reaction increases reaction rates and increases yield amount, as seen with the high yields using DMA and DMF.

CONNECT: parent ring modification of pleuromutilin relates to the synthesis of thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) through parent ring modification. The parent ring undergoes ionization which adds either three or four iodines onto the benzene ring.

This is something similar to what I have done in my research lab. We synthesize Bafetinib analogues and are working to probe the effect that one specific nitrogen has on immuno-activity. More specifically the effect of cytokine production and inhibition.

CONNECT: This concept of intermediate three being combined with other materials to form carbamate, amide, and urea derivatives connects with our learning of parallel synthesis. Following a parallel synthesis, where intermediates are formed and reacted together concurrently, can help to maximize the overall yield of the experiment and helps with the efficiency of the reaction. By contrast, a linear reaction would take a much longer time and result in more waste in this case, since it would require converting intermediate 3 in a series of steps to all of those derivatives rather than taking portions of intermediate 3 to react in parallel.

CONNECT: We had a discussion on ortho/para and meta directors, and how ortho/para directors were preferred because of steric preference generally speaking. But we learned that para is superior to ortho in most cases because para means opposite to the directing group - the least sterically hindered location and best place for further reactions. So, this idea that the methoxy substitution is an example of the para substitution derivative and consequently had higher activity connects well to that in-class learning objective.

I had created a writing assignment for my 8th grade ELA class, created worksheets, a vocabulary page, a graphic organizer to assist them with completing the assignment, and some students still were not 100% clear on expectations and directions. I learned that the more specific and simple your can break down your expectations and instructions, the better off you'll be in the long run.

Histology staining of three dopamine-synthesizing sources in the hypothalamus support the findings in Figure 5E. The amount of TH cells (dopamine-synthesizing cells) in these regions decreases with 6-OHDA and can be partially rescued with short-day photoperiod exposure.

Even with 6'OHDA treatment, exposing the animals to short-day photoperiod resulted in some behavioral rescue, reflected by the animals spending more time spent in the open arm in the EPM test and less time spent immobilized in the forced swim test. The difference in behavior is significant comparing results of the short- vs long-day photoperiod exposure. One additional comparison that could be insightful are the results of 6'OHDA on 12L:12D photoperiod exposure; these can be found in Figure 5 B, and do not appear to be significantly different from the long-photoperiod exposure results. Thus, a follow up idea for the researchers is to consider when the effect of increasing the duration of light-exposure in a day begins to saturate.

Here, dopamine synthesis is being stopped by two things: the neurotoxic agent 6-OHDA and long-day light exposure, a stressor for nocturnal animals. Both treatments should reduce the presence of dopamine-making neurons.

These findings validate the specificity of 6-OHDA's delivery. In the dopaminergic cell group A13 just 200 μm away from the treatment site, the effects of 6-OHDA are not observed.

Following action potential firing, transmitters will be sent from the presynaptic, or sending, neuron to the postsynaptic, or receiving, neuron; the received transmitter will thereby alter the likelihood of that postsynaptic neuron firing its own action potential. The experimenters had observed that at certain clusters of neurons in the CNS, short photoperiod exposure increased production of the transmitter dopamine, and long photoperiod exposure led to an increased production of somatostatin. Consequently, the experimenters are questioning whether expression of those cognate postsynaptic receptors, i.e., dopamine receptors or somatostatin receptors, follow suit.

For rats, nocturnal mammals, increased photoperiod exposure is a stressor. Consequently, in both the EPM and FST, rats exhibit more depressive/anxious behaviors following long photoperiod exposure. In the EPM test, these rats spend less time in the open arm, and in the FST, they give up swimming and become almost immobile much sooner than the control group. For the short-day exposure group, the rats have more open arm activity, and in the FST persevere for longer, indicating reduced anxiety relative to the control group.

When expression of a receptor is greater than that of its transmitter, the likelihood of those transmitters binding to the receptor will be high. Thus, if levels of SST2/4R are high compared to the presynaptic SST, then presynaptic SST will likely be able to bind to the cognate receptor, and induce its inhibitory effects.

A decreased amount of TH-IR neurons means that less dopamine is being produced; this was observed when the rats were given long-day exposure (19 hours of light, 5 hours of darkness). Short-day exposure (5 hours of light, 19 hours of darkness) resulted in the number of TH-IR neurons increasing, a sign of greater dopamine production. These results were all relative to the control group, rats that experienced a balanced-day with 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.

It is known that the young developing brain is able to add or switch the transmitters that their neurons express. The question guiding this research is whether sensory stimuli can cause the already mature (adult) brain to experience changes in the types of transmitters that are produced by their neurons.

I feel like students do not understand that Snapchats, Instagram, Youtube are considered digital annotations because when students are using these technological tools, they are just having fun.

I've had multiple students experience this, and it can be frustrating, but I think it's important to address this with empathy for the parents and help the student role play the conversation. One of my students was able to get the information from their parents by remind the parents that college graduation was a shared, family goal, but they wouldn't be able to reach that goal without doing the FAFSA.

Some other college coaches and I recently watched a seminar on how students can apply to SNAP, so putting that information out on a social media post or in a mass text could be helpful for identifying students who might need help without signaling anyone out.

There's a Facebook page called "Your Freshmen is Off to College" which is technically for parents, but they make a post each month about common transitional issues students face, so I share those to start a conversation with students on Facebook about how to navigate those barriers.

To some point this is true, but I've also had conversations with students who clearly understand the impact finances have on their peers experience in college, especially for the students who are the only ones that have to work out of their friend group. I make sure they know those feelings of having to do more are valid, but I think helping students understand that noticing those dynamics is a skill of it's own and they are building life skills more than their peers.

Along with these factors, I also know students experiencing culture shock when going from a diverse high school to a primarily white institution. Culture shock is also important to talk about within the social-emotional learning topic because it can make them feel disconnected or isolated to campus. But this is also when I notice students really developing their self advocacy skills to find or start student organizations that reflect their own experiences.

Most colleges have a degree audit or career classes where they require students to plan out a timeline of college. These are great resources I ask students to take advantage of to help keep track of their goals.

Openness in connecting to people.

Wow. This seems contradictory, but in a good way?

Trust in the system (of openness) because it will help you expand your horizons.

Openness in reflecting on roles and recognition, and connecting on recognition.

This is a very rich section: openness in developing skills, connecting materials, skills, roles, feedback and evaluation to other learners, and including other learners in the experience.

Networking and making connection to your campus resources can help you and your student open opportunities. This allows your students to be familiarized with what type of resources that are available for them and also have job opportunities for them too as well.

I've done many different study aboard programs and it's always a great way to interact with students and tell them your experience and what you learned. By doing this, gives the opportunity for the students to build more interest in exploring and preparing themselves for abroad programs.

Sounds like Rickert and Muckelbauer agree that rhetoric includes works outside of language (ie writing, speaking, and debate).

Hydrology is the main reason for the carbon balance of wetlands by controlling the uptake of CO₂ and CH4. Determining the effect of droughts on CO2, fluxes and CH4 emission was stimulated by hydroperiod with three scenarios. These three scenarios affect the rate of drought from being gradual, intermediate, and rapid transition into drought. It resulted in higher net CO2 losses net ecosystem exchange (NEE) over a 22-week manipulation. Due to drought vegetation dieback, it increased ecosystem respiration (Reco), and it also reduced carbon uptake gross ecosystem exchange (GEE). The NEE did not offset methane production during periods of flooding. Changes in precipitation patterns and drought occurrence altered the carbon storage of freshwater marshes. We can determine that with the change in the climate will modify the storage capacity of freshwater marshes by influencing the water availability.

common ground desire to connect. Why reach out?

For Linux/Unix people, it may very well be that you did not add your username to the 'docker' group and as a consequence you cannot communicate with the docker daemon. I had just experienced this (while running Linux Mint 18.1, but the symptoms ought to be similar for Debian/Ubuntu as well).

To fix it, I ran:

sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)

Log out and log back in. This ensures your user is running with the correct permissions.
