• Enriching gender in physics education research: A binary past and a complex future 

  Traxler, Adrienne L.; Cid, Ximena C.; Blue, Jennifer; Barthelemy, Ramon

  [This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] In this article, we draw on previous reports from physics, science education, and women’s studies to propose a more nuanced treatment of gender in physics ...

• The Regret Elements Scale: Distinguishing the affective and cognitive components of regret 

  Buchanan, Joshua; Summerville, Amy; Lehmann, Jennifer; Reb, Jochen

  Regret is one of the most common emotions, but researchers generally measure it in an ad-hoc, unvalidated fashion. Three studies outline the construction and validation of the Regret Elements Scale (RES), which distinguishes ...

• Physical Chemistry Interactive Plot: Kinetics: Parallel First Order Reaction, v1.1 

  Page, Richard

  html file encoding for an interactive plot for parallel first order reactions.

• Cryoprotectants and extreme freeze tolerance in a subarctic population of the wood frog. 

  Costanzo, Jon P.; Reynolds, Alice M.; do Amaral, M. Clara F.; Rosendale, Andrew J.; Lee, Richard Lee

  Wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) exhibit marked geographic variation in freeze tolerance, with subarctic populations tolerating experimental freezing to temperatures at least 10-13 degrees Celsius below the lethal limits for ...

• Compact genome of the Antarctic midge is likely an adaptation to an extreme environment 

  Kelley, Joanna L.; Peyton, Justin T.; Fiston-Lavier, Anna-Sophie; Teets, Nicholas M.; Muh-Ching, Yee; Johnston, J. Spencer; Bustamante, Carlos D.; Lee, Richard E.; Denlinger, David L.

  The midge, Belgica antarctica, is the only insect endemic to Antarctica, and thus it offers a powerful model for probing responses to extreme temperatures, freeze tolerance, dehydration, osmotic stress, ultraviolet radiation ...

• Seasonality of Freeze Tolerance in a Subarctic Population of the Wood Frog, Rana sylvatica 

  Costanzo, Jon P.; do Amaral, M. Clara F.; Rosendale, Andrew J.; Lee, Richard E.

  We compared physiological characteristics and responses to experimental freezing and thawing in winter and spring samples of the wood frog, Rana sylvatica, indigenous to Interior Alaska, USA. Whereas winter frogs can survive ...

• Identification and expression of a putative facilitative urea transporter in three species of true frogs (Ranidae): implications for terrestrial adaptation. 

  Rosendale, Andrew J.; Costanzo, Jon P.; Kiss, Andor J.; Lee, Richard E.

  Urea transporters (UTs) help mediate the transmembrane movement of urea and therefore are likely important in amphibian osmoregulation. Although UTs contribute to urea reabsorption in anuran excretory organs, little is ...

• Enzymatic regulation of glycogenolysis in a subarctic population of the wood frog: implications for extreme freeze tolerance 

  do Amaral, M. Clara F.; Lee, Richard E.; Costanzo, Jon P.

  The wood frog, Rana sylvatica, from Interior Alaska survives freezing at –16°C, a temperature 10–13°C below that tolerated by its southern conspecifics. We investigated the hepatic freezing response in this northern phenotype ...

• Seasonal variation in the hepatoproteome of the dehydration- and freeze-tolerant wood frog, Rana sylvatica 

  Kiss, Andor J.; Muir, Tim J.; Lee, Richard E.; Costanzo, Jon P.

  Winter’s advent invokes physiological adjustments that permit temperate ectotherms to cope with stresses such as food shortage, water deprivation, hypoxia, and hypothermia. We used liquid chromatography (LC) in combination ...

• Brief chilling to subzero temperature increases cold hardiness in the hatchling painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) 

  Muir, Tim J.; Costanzo, Jon P.; Lee, Richard E.

  Although many studies of ectothermic vertebrates have documented compensatory changes in cold hardiness associated with changes of season, much less attention has been paid to adjustment of physiological functions and ...

• Carrion - It's what's for dinner: Wolves reduce the impact of climate change. 

  Constible, Juanita M.; Sandro, Luke H.; Lee, Richard E.

  Humans have viewed wolves as competitors, threats to personal safety, and symbols of evil throughout history. By the early part of the 20th century, grey wolves (Canis lupus) had been eradicated from 42% of their historic ...

• Full-Cycle Assessment of Critical Thinking in an Ethics and Science Course 

  Blue, Jennifer; Taylor, Beverley A.P.; Yarrison-Rice, Jan

  Enhancing critical thinking skills for undergraduate students is important across the curriculum and between disciplines. We report on a method of improving critical thinking skills, which was studied through an Ethics and ...

• Using Matched Samples to Look for Sex Differences 

  Blue, Jennifer; Heller, Patricia

  The reasons for observed differences in physics performance between men and women have yet to be clearly determined. This study asks the question: if men and women have a similar background at the start of an introductory ...
