1. CCLC Commission on the Future: An Update. Increasing College Preparation and Completion through Concurrent Enrollment--The Next Steps. 2020 Vision: Student Success

Author

Community College League of California and Mize, R.

Abstract

Since the publication of the initial report of the League's Commission on the Future (COTF), there have been many reports written and the California Community Colleges have taken many steps to improve student success and completion. However, there is still much to do. This paper will provide a brief assessment of where we are--in relation to student attainment since the time of the release of our last report (2010), in relation to the goals which we are attempting to reach, and in relation to our ability to meet those goals--before we discuss successful interventions or what needs to be done to meet those goals.

Abstract

The Imaging X-ray Polarimeter Explorer (IXPE) focuses on high energy astrophysics in the 2—8 keV x-ray band. IXPE is designed to explore general relativistic and quantum physics effects of gravity, energy, electric and magnetic fields at extreme limits. IXPE, a NASA Small Explorer (SMEX) Mission, will add new dimensions to on-orbit x-ray science: polarization degree, polarization angle and extended object polarization imaging. Polarization uniquely probes physical anisotropies that are not otherwise measurable—ordered magnetic fields, aspheric matter distributions, or general relativistic coupling to black-hole spin. Detailed imaging enables the specific properties of extended x-ray sources to be differentiated. The IXPE Observatory consists of spacecraft and payload modules built up in parallel to form the Observatory during system integration and test. The payload includes three polarization-sensitive, x-ray detector arrays paired with three x-ray mirror module assemblies (MMA). A deployable boom provides the correct separation (focal length) between the detector units and MMAs. Currently, the boom has been delivered, all four detectors units (DU) are complete, the detectors service unit (DSU) is complete, instrument system testing has been completed (DSU with 3 DUs), three of four MMAs is built and all spacecraft components except the solar array have been delivered along with the spacecraft and payload structures. Payload and spacecraft integration and test (I&T) started in March 2020. This paper overviews the flight segment (the Observatory, payload, and spacecraft implementation concepts) with emphasis on the build status and summarizes the launch segment. Launch is planned to occur on a Falcon 9 launch vehicle during Summer 2021. The paper summarizes the impacts of switching from the ‘design-to baseline’ of Pegasus XL to the selected launch vehicle for flight, Falcon 9. COVID-19 impacts to the Project are also summarized. The paper will close with a summary of the mission development status. The Project is firmly into the build phase for both the spacecraft and payload and rapidly approaching Observatory I&T.

Abstract

The LSU Neuroscience Center is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and trans-departmental entity that unites fundamental neurobiology and the clinical neurosciences in the common goal of elucidating the workings of the brain and contributing to the treatment of currently incurable diseases of the nervous system. The objective of this program is to find solutions to neuroscience-related problems of interest to the US Army Medical Research and Development Command. The program is focused on exploiting novel neuroprotective strategies that lead to prevention of and repair after neural injury. Converging approaches using state-of-the-art tools of cell biology, neurochemistry, neuroimmunology, neurophysiology, neuroppharmacology, molecular biology and virology are ongoing. Over the four years covered in this proposal, this program aims to: (1) carry out seven research projects in the basic and clinical neurosciences; (2) expand central, shared facilities with the addition of highly specialized instrumentation not currently available to our scientists; (3) develop laboratory space to permit the physical consolidation and coordination of this research effort; and (4) institute a coordination unit to monitor, facilitate, and administrate the cooperative research programs, as well as to meet the associated budgetary, human resources, facilities, and communications needs for the attainment of the program goals.

Abstract

Developmental refinement of the retinogeniculate and retinocollicular pathways is partially dependent upon Ca2+ channel function [J. Comp. Neurol. 440 (2001) 177–191]. We have examined the development of the L-type voltage gated Ca2+ channel to determine if the onset of expression matches this period of refinement. Labeling by an antibody directed against the α1C subunit of this channel was examined in the superior colliculus (SC), lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), visual cortex (CTX), hippocampus (HC) and cerebellum (CB) in mice aged P3–4, P8–9, P15, P21, P28, and adults. At P3–4, labeled cells within the SC were concentrated within a dense band in the retinorecipient zone of the superficial gray layer. More lightly labeled neurons were seen in other layers. This dense band was still seen at P15, while more labeled neurons were seen in other layers. By P21–P28, labeled neurons were fairly uniformly distributed throughout all layers of SC. Neuronal cell types appeared to be labeled at all ages examined within the LGN. Within CTX, putative layer V–VI pyramidal neurons were well labeled at P4 and later ages, and labeled layer II–III pyramids could be distinguished by P9 and later ages. The dendrites and cell bodies of pyramidal neurons within CA1–CA3 of HC, granule neurons in the dentate gyrus, and Purkinje neurons in CB were labeled at all ages examined. We conclude that the L-type Ca2+ channel is expressed in many neurons within retinorecipient targets as well as in other brain regions during the developmental period in which pathway refinement and synaptic plasticity occurs.
