LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL ADAPTATION OF FOREIGN STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES, UCLA by Yaroslav S. Slutskiy

“…An important role in the foreign students’ language training played the involvement of consultants into the adaptation process who speak the native language of a foreign student, which allows to minimize the cross-cultural gap and more quickly establish the interpersonal contact, subsequently conducting bilingual classes, which also contribute to the development of preparatory activities «within society», when a foreign student gets the opportunity to perform the practical communication, using among other things, the native language, which ensures a faster acculturation process. …”

Organic fertilizer enhances the secretion of microRNAs from tomato roots to facilitate beneficial rhizosphere microorganism expansion and suppress Ralstonia solanacearum proliferat... by Shuo Liu, Hai-Yang Li, Tao Zhang, Yang-Kai Li, Xin-Di Liao, Si-Cheng Xing

“…Abstract Background Key members of the rhizomicrobiome, plant root exudates, and pathogen inhibition are important for the immune system functions of disease-suppressive soils, and a “cry for help” mechanism is proposed to describe this immune response process. However, there is still a gap in the understanding of rhizomicrobiome functional genes that are regulated by plants; to date, most studies have shown that the “cry for help” process is mediated by root exudates. …”
