Powerful teaching : unleash the science of learning
Unleash powerful teaching and the science of learning in your classroom
Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning empowers educators to harness rigorous research on how students learn and unleash it in their classrooms. In this book, cognitive scientist Pooja K. Agarwal, Ph.D., and veteran K–12 teacher Patrice M. Bain, Ed.S., decipher cognitive science research and illustrate ways to successfully apply the science of learning in classrooms settings. This practical resource is filled with evidence-based strategies that are easily implemented in less than a minute—without additional prepping, grading, or funding!
Research demonstrates that these powerful strategies raise student achievement by a letter grade or more; boost learning for diverse students, grade levels, and subject areas; and enhance students' higher order learning and transfer of knowledge beyond the classroom. Drawing on a fifteen-year scientist-teacher collaboration, more than 100 years of research on learning, and rich experiences from educators in K–12 and higher education, the authors present highly accessible step-by-step guidance on how to transform teaching with four essential strategies: Retrieval practice, spacing, interleaving, and feedback-driven metacognition.
With Powerful Teaching, you will:
* Develop a deep understanding of powerful teaching strategies based on the science of learning
* Gain insight from real-world examples of how evidence-based strategies are being implemented in a variety of academic settings
* Think critically about your current teaching practices from a research-based perspective
* Develop tools to share the science of learning with students and parents, ensuring success inside and outside the classroom
Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning is an indispensable resource for educators who want to take their instruction to the next level. Equipped with scientific knowledge and evidence-based tools, turn your teaching into powerful teaching and unleash student learning in your classroom.

Digging into nature : outdoor adventures for happier and healthier kids
Pediatricians and nature experts Pooja Sarin Tandon and Danette Swanson Glassy make the convincing case that children and families will be happier, healthier, and more resilient when they spend time in nature. They offer a wealth of suggestions for nature-based activities and suggestions for overcoming common challenges busy families face when trying to increase their outdoor time. The authors address the importance of nature for children' s health at every age from infancy through adolescence and link their suggested activities to key developmental milestones. Digging Into Nature takes an inclusive approach, providing practical tips for parents of children with special health care needs, chronic health conditions, and cultural considerations to help all children reap the gifts that the great outdoors offer.-- Publisher description.

Using formative assessment to differentiate middle school literacy instruction: 7 practices to maximize learning
This book provides a clear roadmap for using formative assessment to differentiate literacy instruction for students in middle school using strategies ideal for a Response to Intervention (RTI) model. Authors Leslie Laud and Pooja Patel present a comprehensive framework of research-based practices that show how to establish new classroom norms, implement formative assessment, create tiered lessons, and manage a multitasking classroom effectively. The authors also cite the latest research and describe the instructional procedures found most effective for teaching middle school literacy through a unique set of seven practices.The book's strategies are designed for use in conjunction with any curriculum or textbook. Included are a wealth of practical examples, reproducibles, and student activities-all developed with effective time management in mind.

Biogenic nanoparticles-the future of eco-friendly wastewater treatment: a review
Biogenic nanoparticles produced using plant and microbial sources have emerged as low cost and environmentally benign alternatives for wastewater treatment applications. This review examines the underlying mechanisms of plant and microbe mediated nanoparticle synthesis, highlighting how naturally occurring biomolecules act as reducing, stabilizing, and capping agents to regulate nanoparticle surface characteristics. The discussion outlines key practical advantageous, including lower energy inputs, avoidance of hazardous reducing agents, use of renewable biological resources, and the potential for in situ or decentralized production, while also noting constraints like variability in plant extracts or microbial cultures. Applications in the removal of organic dyes, heavy metals, and pharmaceuticals are discussed with emphasis on performance indicators such as adsorption capacity, degradation efficiency, selectivity, and nanoparticle recovery and reuse. Alongside future opportunities for advancing green nanotechnologies through improved standardization, process control, integration with existing treatment systems, and comprehensive lifecycle under techno-economic evaluations. A comparative assessment indicates that plant-based synthesis is typically rapid, scalable, and suitable for high throughput production due to its procedural simplicity and abundance of phytochemicals. In contrast microbial synthesis generally allows finer control over nanoparticles size, shape and crystallinity. Unlike existing reviews that largely describe individual synthesis approaches or application specific studies, this review offers a critical, integrative comparison of biogenic nanoparticle synthesis routes, highlighting key performance and practical limitations across systems. The analysis indicates that no single biogenic route is universally optimal; rather, application driven selection is required, balancing efficiency, scalability and environmental capability. These insights clarify current progress while identifying priority directions for advancing biogenic nanomaterials towards real-world wastewater treatment applications.

Rewire : a radical approach to tackling diversity and difference /
\"The issue of difference sits at the core of many of the world's crises. Large corporations are a microcosm of the globalized world we live in, and hold significant power in shaping our lives and ideas. Despite decades of work in the area, little progress has been made because current approaches focus on specific contexts, short-term results and commercial return rather than taking into account what we know about human behaviour and addressing culture. Here, the authors, who have worked in a number of leading organizations, including Caterpillar, American Express, HSBC and the NHS, put forward a new approach, based on years of experience of what works in individual and organizational change.\" -- Provided by publisher.

The systematic assessment of completeness of public metadata accompanying omics studies in the Gene Expression Omnibus data repository
Background
Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have enabled the collection and sharing of a massive amount of omics data, along with its associated metadata—descriptive information that contextualizes the data, including phenotypic traits and experimental design. Enhancing metadata availability is critical to ensure data reusability and reproducibility and to facilitate novel biomedical discoveries through effective data reuse. Yet, incomplete metadata accompanying public omics data may hinder reproducibility and reusability and limit secondary analyses.
Results
Our study assesses the completeness of metadata in over 253 scientific studies, covering more than 164,000 samples from both human and non-human mammalian studies. We find that over 25% of critical metadata are omitted, with only 74.8% of relevant phenotypes available in publications or public repositories. Notably, public repositories alone contain 62% of the phenotypes, surpassing the textual content of publications by 3.5%. Only 11.5% of studies completely shared all phenotypes, while 37.9% shared less than 40% of the phenotypes. Additionally, studies with non-human samples are more likely to include complete metadata compared to human studies. Similar trends are observed in an extended dataset comprising 61,000 studies and 2.1 million samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data repository.
Conclusions
These findings highlight significant gaps in metadata sharing, underscoring the need for standardized practices to improve metadata availability. Enhanced metadata reporting would foster data reusability, support better-informed decision-making, and promote reproducible research across the biomedical field.
