Reflection in math11/4/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Another student may also believe that 50 doesn’t belong but for a different reason, namely that it is the only number with two different digits. One student might conclude that 50 doesn’t belong because it is the only number not divisible by 11. Since the graphics are purposely ambiguous and have overlapping similarities and differences, there is no single correct answer. Observe the photo above of a WODB activity showing the numbers 22, 33, 44, and 50, and identify which choice does not belong and explain why. How can you incorporate reflection questions into your math lessons? Try these two useful strategies. The second question shifts the focus from performance toward thinking, learning, and engaging with mathematics without the fear of being wrong. In addition to performance-focused questions and assessments (“What is the total sum of the interior angles of a triangle?”), you can ask open-ended reflection questions that encourage mathematical thinking and participation (“Why do you think the total sum of the interior angles of a triangle always equals 180 degrees?”). “Reflection questions are important for students and help move the focus from performance to learning,” says Stanford professor Jo Boaler, who believes that “assessment plays a key role in the messages given to students about their potential, and many classrooms need to realign their assessment approach in order to encourage growth instead of fixed mindsets among students.” Instead, these questions remove the fear of being wrong and encourage mathematical thinking, participation, and growth. #REFLECTION IN MATH PLUS#What if students were also asked, “Why does two plus two equal four?” Reflection questions like this, which are purposely open-ended, do not have a single correct answer. If a student is asked, “What is two plus two?” the only acceptable response is “Four.” For many students, math is a subject where every question has one (and only one) correct answer. ![]()

(This second image was quite large and blurry, so we just extracted the main segment of it. The doctor’s advice is what matters – we can only offer a few thoughts on leeches. The reader did exactly as she should have done by going to a doctor, and it sounds like her son is already undergoing what her doctor has determined to be the appropriate treatment for his rash. #Leech bites skinShe only wrote to us to ask if we have ever heard of this sort of skin reaction occurring in response to a leech bite, and also to determine if what she found was in fact a leech.īefore looking at any pictures, we must make it abundantly clear up front that we are not medical professionals, and nothing we say should be taken as medical advice, which we won’t be dispensing in any case. The reader has already sought medical help, and her son has been prescribed antibiotics. She found what looked like a leech on her son’s PE kit after rugby practice, and it was at this time that she noticed his skin reaction, which began as a red spot, and then spread into an itchy rash that covered parts of his body, arms, and legs. A reader wrote to us about a rash her son has in response to what is believed to be a leech bite. ![]()

Star warfare alien invasion apk11/4/2022 ![]() ![]() You may also utilize a combination of various weapons and items without any restrictions at the same time. New levels and arms are only available when you do the objectives offered by the game. Furthermore, our fighter also receives 18 kinds of military bags that are extremely helpful to fight hard. There are nine outfits in all, each with its distinct attribute. Each kind will improve to up to eight different levels. Star Warfare: Alien Invasion HD gives the main character a total of 36 superweapons. You’re going to participate in high-end fighting with up to 3 players per squad, using a particular armor and bag system for this sort of team fight. Speaking about co-op shooting, this is usually a mobile outdoor monster shooting game. The treasure may be utilized as a single and multi-player mode once earned. You must solve 42 tasks on seven huge maps while playing alone. To survive solo combat with these horrible invaders, you must also arm yourself with many similar weapons. The position is thus exceedingly challenging. You’re encircled by their sharp teeth and lung as you move with the speed of an arrow. And you will occasionally have to deal concurrently with a swarm of aggressive aliens. When you shoot a lot of bullets at tough monsters, a large one, or someone who leaps swiftly, you can’t kill it. Later on, there will be an increasing amount of creatures. However, you must also explore the area, look for hidden nooks and scenes, and confront a slew of terrifying alien animals. You don’t simply sit around to shoot your part since the opposing military won’t draw towards it like ants ready to kill you. As long as it is available in the warehouse, you may choose anything you need.

![]() ![]() Cell viability, maturation, and differentiation are regulated through the interaction between ECMs and cells, mediated by these bioactive molecules. They form a cellular niche that contains growth factors and various signaling molecules such as proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins. The organ-derived scaffolds allow retention of a large number of cells by continuous perfusion of cell culture media through preserved vascular structures or through the supply of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood flow in vivo use. Decellularization of tissues, which is achieved by chemically or physically removing all viable cells from native tissues, has developed to retain 3D structures, such as extracellular matrices (ECMs) and vascular networks, for advanced tissue culture and organ engineering. In addition, a microenvironment similar to that in vivo is necessary to maintain the phenotypes and functions of iPSC-derived cells robustly.Ī possible solution to this challenge is the use of organ-derived scaffolds obtained via decellularization techniques. Thus, it is difficult to supply oxygen and nutrients to a large number of iPSC-derived cells embedded into sheets or printed gels with thicknesses exceeding the limit of cellular viability. However, passive diffusion only has a limited capacity to maintain the engrafted cells. Transplanted cells are generally maintained through the passive diffusion of oxygen and nutrients in these bioengineered systems. The biggest challenge in cell sheet engineering and bioprinting technology is the construction of mass 3D structures. A liver model that reproduces the structure of a liver lobule was developed by bioprinting hydrogel-embedded hiPSC-derived liver progenitor cells. reported on the amelioration of lethal acute liver injury in mice by transplanting sheets of human iPSC-derived hepatocyte-like cells (hiPSC-HLCs). IPSC-derived cells have been explored for medical engineering. While the production of a large number of iPSC-derived cells is feasible for some cell types, such as hepatocytes or cardiomyocytes, there is an emerging demand for a carrier of these cells in in vivo-like environments, or direct use of a large number of iPSC-derived cells are required. Moreover, stem cell banking mostly relies upon iPSCs >80% of registered stem cell lines are derived from iPSCs. At present, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a promising cell source for regenerative medicine, owing to their pluripotency, self-renewal, and ability to construct patient-specific cell lines. Thus, the importance of research on regenerative medicine has increased to understand the pathogenesis of diseases and the compensation of organ functions. ![]() However, the gradual worsening of such organ failure is inevitable, and organ transplantation is the only curative treatment option for patients. Recent medical advances have improved the quality of life and prognosis of patients with end-stage organ failure, such as cirrhosis. The decellularized organ-derived scaffold is a promising carrier for hiPSC-derived cells for ex vivo and in vivo use and is an essential platform for regenerative medicine and research. Moreover, they showed long-term survival accompanied by neovascularization in vivo. The seeded hiPSC-HLCs demonstrated increased albumin secretion and up-regulated cytochrome P450 activities compared with those in standard two-dimensional culture conditions. The scaffolds were implanted into immunodeficient microminiature pigs to examine their applicability in vivo. hiPSC-derived hepatocyte-like cells (hiPSC-HLCs 5 × 10 8) were seeded into decellularized organ-derived scaffolds under circumfusion culture. Carriers that can contain a large number of hiPSC-derived cells and evaluate their functions in vivo-like environments will become increasingly important for understanding disease pathogenesis or treating end-stage organ failure. The mass supply of hiPSC-derived cells is technically feasible. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are a promising cell source for elucidating disease pathology and therapy. ![]()

Jeu de carte solitaire klondike11/3/2022 ![]() ![]() You can move a face-up card to the bottom of another column if the face-up card you’re playing it on is a different color and one number higher than it. To start the game, look at the face-up cards to see if you can move any of them to access the face-down cards underneath. Place the remaining cards in a pile off to the side. ![]() Repeat until every column has a face-up card at the bottom. Once you finish all 4 foundation piles, you win! To set up the game, first place 1 card face up and 6 cards face down to the right. To play solitaire, try to get all of the cards into 4 foundation piles, 1 pile per suit, in ascending order from ace to king. Once all of the reserve cards have run out, you can take them from the discard pile and return them to the reserve pile so you can keep removing cards from the pyramid. If no cards can be made into pairs, the next reserve card is flipped over.The top card of the reserve deck can also be used to make 13. Kings are 13 points, queens 12, jacks 11 and the rest of the cards represent their face values (aces are 1.) For example, you could remove a king you could also remove an 8 and 5, because they add up to 13. You can only remove cards that have a value of 13. Remove cards one at a time or in pairs.Create a reserve pile with the left over cards.Note that some people play that you only use 21 cards to make the pyramid. Each row should overlap the row above it. until all 28 cards have been placed in the pyramid. It should be stacked so that the rows are made of one card, then two cards, then three cards, etc. Deal out 28 cards into the shape of a pyramid, face up.The object of the game is to remove all of the cards in the pyramid and reserve pile and place them in the discard pile by creating pairs that equal 13 in point value. ![]()
