We can create deeper and more durable learning if we intentionally develop learning activities to follow the learning cycle proposed by David Kolb (1985; Zull, 2002). This cycle starts with (1) concrete experience (e.g., a lecture or reading), moves to (2) reflective observation and then (3) abstract conceptualization, followed by (4) active experimentation, which can initiate a new cycle based on the experience of receiving feedback.
As part of that effort, each year Sheridan WYO Rodeo awards three Sheridan County graduating seniors with a $1,000 scholarship to the school of their choice. The rodeo officials give special consideration to any student actively involved in helping with Sheridan WYO Rodeo and events that take place during Rodeo Week.
Students interested in applying for the Sheridan WYO Rodeo scholarship may visit sheridanwyorodeo.com/scholarship. Applicants must graduate from a high school in Sheridan County in spring 2023 and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.
Oral sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate (CitraFleet; Picolax), consisting of sodium picosulfate (a stimulant laxative) and magnesium citrate (an osmotic laxative), is approved for use in adults (CitraFleet; Picolax) and/or adolescents and children (Picolax) as a colorectal cleansing agent prior to any diagnostic procedure (e.g. colonoscopy or x-ray examination) requiring a clean bowel and/or surgery. It is dispensed in powder form (sodium picosulfate 0.01 g, magnesium oxide 3.5 g, citric acid 12.0 g per sachet), with the magnesium oxide and citric acid components forming magnesium citrate when the powder is dissolved in water. In adult patients, two sachets of sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate was at least as effective and well tolerated as oral magnesium citrate 17.7 or 35.4 g, or oral polyethylene glycol 236 g in adult patients undergoing a double-contrast barium enema procedure in three large, randomized, comparative clinical studies. In contrast, sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate was less effective than a sodium phosphate enema preparation in two studies in patients undergoing flexible sigmoidoscopy. A similar number of patients receiving two sachets of sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate or two 45 mL doses of oral sodium phosphate the day before a double-contrast barium enema procedure achieved satisfactory barium coating and none/minimal faecal residue in one study. However, the data from three of these studies should be interpreted with caution because the administrative regimens used differed from that recommended. Sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate is also an effective and generally well tolerated colorectal cleansing agent in children and adolescents; the preparation was more effective than oral bisacodyl 0.01 or 0.02 g plus a sodium phosphate enema preparation in this population. Further research is thus required to accurately position sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate and fully establish its efficacy and tolerability prior to various exploratory or surgical procedures. Nevertheless, oral sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate provides a useful option in the preparation of the colon and rectum in adults, adolescents and children undergoing any diagnostic procedure (e.g. colonoscopy or x-ray examination) requiring a clean bowel and/or surgery. Oral sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate acts locally in the colon as both a stimulant laxative, by increasing the frequency and the force of peristalsis (sodium picosulfate component), and an osmotic laxative, by retaining fluids in the colon (magnesium citrate component), to clear the colon and rectum of faecal contents. It is not absorbed in any detectable quantities. Sodium picosulfate is a prodrug: it is hydrolyzed by bacteria in the colon to the active metabolite 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl-(2-pyridyl)methane. Sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate may be associated with a dehydrating effect, as evidenced by a reduction in bodyweight and increased haemoglobin levels; some at-risk patients may experience postural hypotension and older patients may require additional electrolytes. In three large (n >100), randomized, single-blind clinical studies, two sachets of oral sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate was at least as effective as oral magnesium citrate 17.7 or 35.4 g, or oral polyethylene glycol 236 g as a colorectal cleansing agent in adult patients undergoing a double-contrast barium enema procedure. In contrast, sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate was less effective than a sodium phosphate enema preparation in two studies in patients undergoing flexible sigmoidoscopy. A similar number of patients receiving two sachets of sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate or two 45 mL doses of oral sodium phosphate the day before a double-contrast barium enema procedure achieved satisfactory barium coating and none/minimal faecal residue in one study. However, the data from three of these studies should be interpreted with caution because the administrative regimens used differed from that recommended. In children and adolescents, sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate was significantly more effective as a colorectal cleansing agent than oral bisacodyl 0.01 or 0.02 g plus a sodium phosphate enema preparation in a randomized, single-blind study; dosages were adjusted for age in this study. Oral sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate is generally well tolerated in adult patients undergoing various investigational colorectal procedures. Adverse events were generally mild to moderate in intensity and mainly gastrointestinal in nature (e.g. abdominal cramps/pain, nausea); other common treatment-emergent adverse events included disturbance of daily activity, headache and sleep disturbance. This combination is at least as well tolerated as oral sodium phosphate or oral polyethylene glycol, with moderate/severe nausea and vomiting occurring less frequently in sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate recipients than in those receiving oral sodium phosphate, and abdominal bloating/pain and nausea developing less often with sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate than polyethylene glycol therapy. The incidence of abdominal pain and sleep disturbance in sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate versus oral magnesium citrate recipients was similar in one study, but significantly lower with sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate in another. While the incidence of most adverse events was similar in recipients of sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate and a sodium phosphate enema preparation, more patients receiving sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate reported moderate/severe flatulence, incontinence and sleep disturbance, and more patients receiving the enema preparation reported rectal soreness. The tolerability profile of sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate in patients aged >70 years is reportedly similar to that in patients aged

To evaluate the information content of residue pair correlations with respect to protein fold prediction, we apply the method to increasingly difficult cases. We start with small single-domain proteins and move on to larger, more difficult targets, eventually covering a set of well-studied protein domains of wide-ranging biological interest, from different fold classes. We report detailed results for four example families, and summary results for 11 further test families, and provide detailed 3D views of all 15 test protein families in Figure S3 and detailed 3D coordinates and Pymol session files for interactive inspection in Appendices A3 and A4,
In spite of the limited quality of structure prediction in domain 2 of trypsin, it is interesting that the top-ranked structures place the Cα atoms of the highly conserved active site triad residues Ser-His-Asp in correct relative spatial proximity, i.e., within 0.64 3 Å Cα-RMSD (and 1.3 Å all atom-RMSD) error, after superimposition of the three residues of the catalytic site with the same three residues of the experimental structure (Figure S4). This may reflect strong evolutionary constraints near functional sites and may imply that the configuration of resides around an active site can be predicted more accurately than other detailed aspects of the 3D structure. The ability to predict active site constellations at this level of accuracy would be particularly interesting for the design of drugs on predicted structural templates.
Completely conserved residues provide no information about pair correlations, by definition. However, the ability to predict distance constraints between highly conserved residues is a valuable feature of the DI algorithm presented here, and, in contrast to other homology-free protocols, allows direct deduction of structural information about disulfide bonds and binding sites [24]. As described above the active site residues Ser, His, and Asp in Trypsin are accurate within 1.3 Å all atom RMSD of the crystal structure, (Figure S4). Even the four different loops that form the tri-nucleotide (GTP/GDP) binding site of HRAS protein, which contain well-known highly conserved amino acids boxes (GKS, DTAGQ, NKCD, SA in one-letter amino acid notation) separated by up to 100 residues in the sequence, appear in approximately the correct spatial location around the binding pocket in the highest ranking predicted structures. The striking accuracy of prediction of which loops participate in substrate sites formed by sequence-distant residues is consistent with strong evolutionary constraint in functional areas of the protein fold. The statistical model ranks co-variation signals from nearly conserved residues sufficiently highly to contribute to the correct prediction of such sites (Text S1).
