"When students select college, they generally want everything: personal attention, small classes, a responsive faculty and every available extracurricular activity," said Dr. Jadwiga Sebrechts, president of the Women's College Coalition in Washington.
It is, of course, important that teachers treat students with fairness, with kindness, with respect, but the way to ensure that is for teachers and managers to be attentive to what actually happens in class and responsive to student complaints.
Interestingly, these instabilities can be utilized to design a novel class of responsive materials.
Hydrogels constitute an important class of responsive materials that are employed in numerous biomedical and personal-care applications, most notably of which are controlled drug delivery, separations and superabsorbency.
By contrast, GO terms corresponding to genes down-regulated in hira-1 played a role in responses to biotic and abiotic environment (Fig. 4C) and belonged to the broad class of responsive genes defined previously (Aceituno et al., 2008; Coleman-Derr and Zilberman, 2012).
However, all the constituent cells were classed as visually responsive, indicating response modulation to at least one of the 18 stimuli in our test set (Experimental Procedures).
This study, which presents an initial investigation into the functional aspect of these Pi-responsive genes, has uncovered a progression of differentially regulated functional classes: from initially responsive ion-transporters and persistent cellular signaling genes to latently responsive transcriptional regulators.
We construct data sets with a hierarchical structure by assuming that the neural population is composed of units from one the following five classes: unresponsive, generally responsive, broadly tuned, sharply tuned and angle-specific units.
Metabolism and catalytic activity were major responsive classes, where the number of up-regulated UniGenes was significantly higher than those down-regulated.
Both specific and common responses to the three stressors were observed and whole genome functional analysis identified several important classes of stress responsive genes.
