When presented with what seems to be a simple math “problem,” teachers from both the United States and China had different ways of approaching how to solve this “problem.” This could be attributed to the amount of education both groups of teachers have. Chinese teachers have on average eleven to twelve years of schooling while United States teachers have sixteen to eighteen. Keeping their educational backgrounds in mind, Ma presents both Chinese and United States elementary school teachers with…
research on why mitochondrial dysfunction gradually develops with time has focused on mtDNA integrity. Mutations and deletions in mtDNA increase with age, and areas of aged tissue that show mitochondrial ETC dysfunction contain abundant mtDNA damage (Xie, Lu et al. 2014). These findings and many earlier studies led to the concept that continuous accumulation of mtDNA damage may cause a role in the aging…

Moreover, Rhizobium sp. is well notorious to colonize roots of a broad range of nonlegume plants like sugarcane (Li et al. 2015b, Perin et al. 2006), sorghum (Coelho et al. 2009), rice (Xie and Yokota, 2006), maize (Perin et al. 2006) and switch grass (Bahulikar et al. 2014), and Burkholderia sp. has been already detected as an active N-fixing bacterium in sugarcane (Perin et al. 2006). Regardless of N-fixers, alphaproteobacteria were…
Biochemistry is the “structure and function” within living organisms through chemical processes (Revier). Being able to master the subject is a driven force that grasped my attention to continue pursuing my academics through this major. My interest for the subject grew as I conducted further research to determine the benefits of having a degree in biochemistry and how it would aid me in the long runs by having a successful future. Simultaneously, I enrolled in an Introduction to Biochemistry…

Feminists Barber and Xie, feel that “women have no opportunity of…

limited women greatly. As with many nations around the world, China’s extreme level of social inequality has diminished. Women are allowed, and even encouraged, to pursue an education, enter the workforce, and freely choose who they would like to marry (Xie, 2013, pg.3). The equality of males and females, however, does not remove the longstanding belief that a family should be “close and interdependent” (Xu & Xia, 2014, pg. 38). Understanding the dynamic of a Chinese family is essential, because…
