Plain Folks Presentation

Transcript: Annemarie and Paige Plain Folks Definition and Paraphrase Definition/ Who are Plain Folks? Definition: device used primarily by politicians to win our confidence by appearing to be common people like us. Paraphrase: a tactic that politicians use to gain voters' trust by stating that they are a regular person in order to gain their vote. Synonym(s): Working class, regular person, Average Joe, etc. If a politician is using propaganda by preforming Plain Folks, then they are essentially convincing voters that they are just like them. How is it Used? How is Plain Folks Used (Positively or Negatively?) Plain Folks is used positively. It is used to make a politician seem like they are a common person and should be trusted, versus someone that is in the upper class and not acquainted in the life of the average American that would be voting for them. Questions to Ask and Everyday Examples Questions to Ask “Does this certain politician often help a particular group?” “Is this simply a demonstration to gather my support?” “Does this seem like an accurate portrayal of this candidate’s personality?” "Does this candidate participate in this activity regularly?" Purpose Purpose of Plain Folks The purpose of the propaganda tool "Plain Folks" is to convince voters that the candidate that they are voting for is just like them, this positively affects the candidate. This tool is used to convince voters to vote for this particular candidate because of their similarities. Often, voters are "fed up" with their elected candidates, however, this tactic always seems to be a solution-- it is often not. Many other propaganda tactics tend to focus on making the opposition bad or make themselves seem great, however Plain Folks focuses on humbling the candidate to make them seem more regular.

Plain Competition Presentation

Transcript: Conclusion Our Hypothesis The plant that differs less in root fraction from the neighbor will have a better competitive response than plants that differ more in root fraction from the neighboring plant A. gerardii (root fraction=0.37) > B. kalmii (root fraction=0.29) > A. scoparius (root fraction=0.18) Methods Questions? Plants grown without fertilizer on normal watering schedule for 4 weeks Cells thinned so only 1 target plant remained Allowed to grow 1 week more Bloor, J.M.G., P.W. Leadley, and L. Barthes. 2008.

Biomass competition p=0.192 Species of target p=0.254 Interaction species and competition p=0.54 Results Regression Analysis of Target Performance with Competition Biomass Biomass of E. villosus did not have a significant effect on target species Sources of error -Absence of growth -Other factors contributing to growth and competition References Difference in Root Fraction Does not Affect Response Competition Chloe Griffen, Cornelia Osborne, and Elena Seeley Introduction Rationale Does root fraction predetermine success of a plant as a competitor? Previous experiments Violle et al. (2009): plants with longer roots more likely to consume more water in upper layers of soil An experiment by Craine et al. (2003) showed a strong relationship between root biomass and depletion of nutrients. Bloor et al. (2008) found that biomass allocation was significantly affected by root competition.

Yeast two-hybrid screening system is a molecular biology technique used to discover and analyze protein-protein interactions and protein-DNA interactions by testing for physical interactions (ex.: binding) between two proteins or between a protein and a DNA molecule, respectively. The mutations (Pol32 permutations for Y2H assays X Pol1) we are interested in are as following: Pol32:AlphaFold predictions: predicted aligned error plot DPIM area: DED GY: confidence level of the residues according to AlphaFold: D -> A CONFIDENT E -> A CONFIDENT D -> A VERY HIGH G -> A CONFIDENT Y -> A CONFIDENT
