In 1990 (Fluegeman and Orr) the writers published a short study on known North American cyclocystoids. This enigmatic group is best represented in the United States Devonian by only two specimens, both illustrated in the 1990 report. Previously, the Cortland, New York, specimen initially described by Heaslip (1969) was housed at State University College at Cortland, New York, and the Logansport, Indiana, specimen was housed at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. Both institutions recognize the importance of permanently placing these rare specimens in a proper paleontologic repository with other cyclocystoids. Therefore, these two specimens have been transferred to the curated paleontologic collection at the University of Cincinnati Geological Museum where they can be readily studied by future workers in association with a good assemblage of Ordovician specimens of the Cyclocystoidea.

Justin Du Bois of Stanford University developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 10202) a Ru catalyst for the stereoretentive hydroxylation of 1 to 2. John T. Groves of Princeton University effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 12847) equatorial chlorination of the test substrate 3. Kenneth M. Nicholas of the University of Oklahoma found (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 7644) that I2 catalyzed the amination of 5. Thorsten Bach of the Technische Universität München established (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3690) that the amination of 7 proceeded with significant diastereoselectivity. Phil S. Baran of Scripps/La Jolla compiled (Synlett 2010, 1733) an overview of the development of C-H oxidation. Tethering can improve the selectivity of C-H functionalization. X. Peter Zhang of the University of South Florida devised (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 10192) a Co catalyst for the cyclization of 9 to 10. Teck-Peng Loh of Nanyang Technological University established (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 8417) conditions for the oxidation of 11 to 12. Jin-Quan Yu, also of Scripps/La Jolla, effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 17378) carbonylation of methyl C-H of 13 to give 14. Sunggak Kim, now also at Nanyang Technological University, established (Synlett 2010, 1647) conditions for the free-radical homologation of 15 to 17. Gong Chen of Pennsylvania State University extended (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3414) his work on remote Pd-mediated activation by cyclizing 18 to 19. Many schemes have been developed in recent years for the oxidation of substrates to reactive electrophiles. Gonghua Song of the East China University of Science and Technology and Chao-Jun Li of McGill University reported (Synlett 2010, 2002) Fe nanoparticles for the oxidative coupling of 20 with 21. Zhi-Zhen Huang of Nanjing University found (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5214) that protonated pyrrolidine 25 was important for mediating the site-selective coupling of 24 with 23. Y. Venkateswarlu of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, was even able (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 4898) to effect coupling with a cyclic alkene 28. AB3217-A 32, isolated in 1992, was shown to have marked activity against two spotted spider mites. Christopher R. A. Godfrey of Syngenta Crop Protection, Münchwilen, prepared (Synlett 2010, 2721) 32 from commercial anisomycin 30a. The key step in the synthesis was the oxidative cyclization of 30b to 31.

This chapter examines two U.S. four-year public universities, the Pennsylvania State University World Campus and the University of Oklahoma Outreach, that have successfully developed online adult education system/programs for adults. Using the principles of effectiveness for serving adult learners, the integrated review reveals not only how they advance online higher education environment for adults, but the types of challenges they have. Key findings highlight that, under a strong tradition of distance education, “self-assessment system,” “financial independence,” and “diverse active supports for life and career planning” play a critical role in increasing the academic engagement and retention of adult students. However, they also have several challenges: “high tuition rates and limited scholarship options,” “monitoring students' experience,” “learning outcome assessment,” and “commitment of faculty members.” The authors close with practical/academic implications and future research agendas.

Sentaro Okamoto of Kanagawa University developed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2014, 55, 7039) an organocatalyst that mediated the selective acylation of 1 to give the pri­mary acetate 2. Philip A. Albiniak of Ball State University devised (Tetrahedron Lett. 2014, 55, 7133) a reagent 4 for the simple preparation of a t-butyl ether 5 from an alcohol 3. Attempted deprotection of 6 tended to divert to the dioxolane. Toshio Nishikawa of Nagoya University developed (Synlett 2014, 25, 2498) an oxidative protocol that gave clean conversion to the desired 7. Alan S. Goodman of Rutgers University found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 10160) an Ir catalyst that generated the phenol 9 from the aryl alkyl ether 8. In the course of a synthesis of Sch 725674, Kavirayani R. Prasad of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore deprotected (Org. Lett. 2014, 16, 4001) the dithi­ane 10 to yield the sensitive aldol product 11. Karl Anker Jørgensen of Aarhus University observed (Chem. Commun. 2014, 50, 15689) that the nitro isoxazole 12, having served to activate sequential Michael addition, was readily cleaved to the acid 13. Jiang Cheng of Changzhou University used (Chem. Commun. 2014, 50, 8412) CuCN to convert 14 to 15. Pradeep Kumar of CSIR-National Chemistry Laboratory effected (Tetrahedron Lett. 2014, 55, 7172) oxidative deallylation of 16, leading to 17. Hiroyuki Morimoto and Takashi Ohshima of Kyushu University found (Chem. Commun. 2014, 50, 12623) that NH₄I promoted the hydrazinolysis of the amide 18, giving 19 without racemization. Franco Ghelfi of the Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia prepared (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2014, 6734) 21 by desulfonylating 20 to 21 with H₂SO₄ in acetic acid. Hans Adolfsson of Stockholm University reduced (Org. Lett. 2014, 16, 680) the amide 22 to the enamine 23. The N-vinyl amine could be hydrolyzed, but it is also a versatile intermediate for other transformations. Automated peptide synthesis can be hindered by difficult sequences. Judit Tulla-Puche and Fernando Albericio of IRB Barcelona showed (Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 15031) that the substituted benzyl group of 24 facilitated such syntheses, and that it could be readily removed to give 25 by exposure to NH₄I and trifluoroacetic acid.

This study assessed the psychological androgyny of female dental hygiene students. The Bem Sex-role Inventory was administered to 38 dental hygiene students at the University of Oklahoma, 34 at Baylor University, and 23 at Louisiana State University. About 26% of the students at Baylor and LSU were classified as undifferentiated and 21% at Oklahoma. Baylor students had the highest combined proportion (55.9%) classified as androgynous or undifferentiated. However, employing Bem's traditional subtractive method, the majority of subjects in all groups were classified as either near-feminine or feminine. Similarity of classification among these groups was demonstrated by non-significant differences for androgynous, masculine, and feminine scores. This study demonstrates that place of geographic residence and training locations have little impact upon influencing the sex-role status for female dental hygienists.

Samples of textiles from the Spiro, Oklahoma, mound were sent to the Smithsonian Institution for analysis. Through the courtesy of Dr. Waldo R. Wedel and the National Bureau of Standards, which made the analysis, the report quoted below has been received.These textiles were excavated by private individuals in 1935, before the University of Oklahoma took charge. My object has been to salvage as much as could be rescued, and attempt to preserve it behind glass.

The author chaired the 1976–77 teaching committee of the AEJ Theory and Methodology Division which was given the responsibility of assessing communications theory instruction. Other members of the committee participating in the project were Thomas F. Gordon, Temple University; Gerald L. Grotta, then of the University of Oklahoma; Roy L. Moore, Georgia State University, and Michael Ryan, West Virginia University. Assisting in the project as a research aide was Donald Fremont.
