Advances in Plant Sulfur Research
As an essential nutrient for plant growth and development, sulfur (S) deficiency in productive systems limits yield and quality. This Special Issue hosts a collection of original research articles, focusing on the following topics: (1) The germinative and post-germinative behavior of Brassica napus seeds when severe S limitation is applied to the parent plants; (2) the independence of S-deficiency from the mRNA degradation initiation enzyme PARN in Arabidopsis; (3) the glucosinolate distribution in the aerial parts of sel1-10, a disruption mutant of the sulfate transporter SULTR1;2, in mature Arabidopsis thaliana plants; (4) the accumulation of S-methylcysteine as its y-glutamyl dipeptide in Phaseolus vulgaris; and (5) the role of ferric iron chelation-strategy components in the leaves and roots of maize, have provided new insights into the effect of S availability on plant functionality. Moreover, the role of S deficiency in root system functionality has been highlighted, focusing on (6) the contribution of root hair development to sulfate uptake in Arabidopsis, and (7) the modulation of lateral root development by the CLE-CLAVATA1 signaling pathway under S deficiency. The role of S in plants grown under drought conditions has been investigated in more detail focusing (8) on the relationship between S-induced stomata closure and the canonical ABA signal transduction machinery. Furthermore, (9) the assessment of S deficiency under field conditions by single measurements of sulfur, chloride, and phosphorus in mature leaves, (10) the effect of fertilizers enriched with elemental S on durum wheat yield, and (11, 12) the impact of elemental S on the rhizospheric bacteria of durum wheat contributed to enhancing the scientific knowledge of S nutrition under field conditions.

Is distance learning worse than on-campus learning?
The effectiveness of distance learning versus on-campus learning depends on individual preferences, learning styles, and the specific course or program. Distance learning can offer flexibility and convenience for those with busy schedules or other commitments, while on-campus learning may provide more opportunities for in-person interaction and hands-on experiences. Both modalities have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, and the quality of the learning experience ultimately depends on the resources, support, and engagement available to the student in either setting.

Is my plant a spider plant?
I'm an AI and I don't have the ability to see your plant. However, spider plants are characterized by their long, arching leaves with white stripes. They also produce small white flowers and baby plantlets that dangle from the mother plant. If your plant matches these descriptions, it is likely a spider plant. If you're still unsure, you can search for images of spider plants online to compare with your plant.

Is distance learning as recognized as traditional on-campus learning?
Distance learning has become increasingly recognized and accepted as a legitimate form of education, especially with the advancements in technology and the widespread availability of online courses. However, traditional on-campus learning still holds a higher level of recognition and prestige in many circles, particularly in certain industries or for specific types of degrees. Ultimately, the recognition of distance learning versus traditional on-campus learning can vary depending on the institution, field of study, and individual perspectives.

Cooperative Learning in Physical Education : A research based approach
Cooperative Learning is a dynamic instructional model that can teach diverse content to students at different grade levels, with students working together in small, structured, heterogeneous groups to master subject content.It has a strong research tradition, is used frequently as a professional development tool in general education and is now emerging in physical education. This book defines Cooperative Learning in physical education and examines how to implement Cooperative Learning in a variety of educational settings.It explores Cooperative Learning in physical education from three main perspectives.The first, context of learning, provides descriptions of Cooperative Learning in different levels of education (elementary school, secondary school, and university physical education).The second, Cooperative Learning in the curriculum, offers case studies from teachers and researchers of their experiences of implementing Cooperative Learning within their own national context.The third perspective, key aspects of Cooperative Learning, examines how the different elements of the model have been foregrounded in efforts to enhance learning in physical education. As the only text to provide international perspectives, from eight different countries, of Cooperative Learning in physical education, this book is important reading for any student, researcher or teacher with an interest in physical education, sport education, sport pedagogy, curriculum development or methods for learning and teaching.

Communities of Practice in Higher Education : Learning, Teaching, and Research
Drawing on research and practice, this key text provides a rich, detailed, and accessible guide to Communities of Practice (CoPs) theory and how to implement it within higher education.It takes a detailed look at how the theory is constructed, the research that it rests on, and the ways that it has been used and can be used in the future. Beginning by introducing CoP theory and the theory of learning that accompanies it, this book provides empirical examples of CoP research to illustrate how CoPs form and work within higher education.It also explores how different CoPs work together and can learn from each other.The key topics explored in the book allow the reader to critically understand how CoP theory can be used in higher education to enhance an understanding of how students, staff, and organisations learn. Ideal reading for those researching higher education practices or undertaking higher education teaching qualifications as well as those currently teaching, this book provides a research-led and critical discussion of the current state of CoP-informed research into learning, teaching, and assessment practices alongside and interleaved with an exploration of how this same approach can be utilised for informing research.

Active Learning in Higher Education: : Student Engagement and Deeper Learning Outcomes
This is the latest volume in the Learning in Higher Education series.Active Learning has at least two major benefits: 1) it engages students in their learning, and 2) it enhances their deeper learning outcomes.In this book, authors from universities in Australia, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, Romania, Turkey, the UK and the USA show how they have used active learning to engage their students and improve their deeper learning outcomes.Reading the book, you will gain insight into how the authors designed and carried out their teaching, using one of these eleven active learning methods: authentic project-based learning; case-based learning; experience-based learning; flipped and peer learning; inquiry-based learning; learning space design; project-based learning; research-based learning; students as partners framework; technology-enhanced learning; and virtual exchange co-design. The deeper learning outcomes documented by surveying or interviewing students include: a sense of belonging for improving retention; development of graduate attributes; digital pedagogy and professional skills; engaged and enhanced learning experiences; enhanced well-being; graduate employability; interpersonal and leadership skills; reflective practitioners; research communication competencies; and retention and employability.All the chapters in the book are underpinned by contemporary learning theories and methodologies on active learning.Yet, they are written in a direct and accessible language to inspire the reader to engage in teaching practices that enhance active learning in higher education.

How do you plant an avocado plant?
To plant an avocado plant, start by removing the pit from a ripe avocado and washing off any remaining fruit. Then, carefully insert 3-4 toothpicks into the pit at even intervals around the circumference. Fill a glass or jar with water and suspend the pit over the water by resting the toothpicks on the rim of the container. Place the container in a warm, sunny spot and change the water every few days. After 2-6 weeks, the pit will sprout roots and a stem. Once the stem is about 6 inches tall, plant the pit in a pot with well-draining soil, leaving the top half of the pit exposed. Water the plant regularly and place it in a sunny location. With proper care, your avocado plant will continue to grow and eventually produce fruit.
