The Contestation of History in Schools in the United States
This short article seeks to understand and explain current efforts to restrict historical teaching in US schools, and describes their ongoing effects. It also includes consideration in the concluding section of what might ... -
Counterfactual-seeking: The scenic overlook of the road not taken
(2011-07-25)Decision-makers faced with an opportunity to learn the outcome of a foregone alternative must balance anticipated regret, should that information be unfavorable, with the potential benefits of this information in reducing ... -
Course/Faculty Scheduler
(1995-04-01)The CFS is designed as an automated aid in the creation of course schedules for Miami University's SAN department. The CFS does not create schedules but provides an environment that will ease the task of creating schedule. ... -
Creating, implementing, and sustaining an advanced optical spectroscopy laboratory course
An upper-division laboratory course in atomic and molecular spectroscopy is described. Examples of outcomes that also benefit second-year physics laboratories and demonstrations in introductory courses are presented. The ... -
Critical Gameplay: Software Studies in Computer Gameplay
(2010-10-12)The computer game software with which we interact on a daily basis not only entertains us, it trains us into specific patterns. Critical Gameplay is a design practice which endeavors to expose and redesign the patterns to ... -
A Critical Political Economy of Web Advertising History
Using the United States as a case study, this chapter outlines the history of web advertising from a critical political economy of media approach. As part of the broader privatization of the internet in the 1990s, U.S. ... -
Cross-Sector Collaboration to Support College and Career Readiness in an Urban School District
Background: School reforms requiring collaborations spanning multiple sectors are increasing in prevalence, but extant research has primarily focused only upon cross-sector partnerships involving education and social ... -
The “Crossing Borders” Program: Increasing Intercultural Competency Via Structured Social Interactions
(2013-04-04)Increasing diversity in American college classrooms and recent trends toward globalization require professors to teach more creatively in order to encourage students’ face-to-face intercultural interactions and resulting ... -
Cryobiology of the freeze-tolerant gall fly Eurosta solidaginis: Overwintering energetics and heat shock proteins.
The goldenrod gall fly Eurosta solidaginis (Diptera: Tehritidae) ranges from the southern U.S. northward into Canada. The larvae overwinters with a ball gall on the stem of goldenrod Solidago spa. The galls often extend ... -
Cryobiology of the freeze-tolerent gall fly Eurosta solidaginis: overwintering energetics and heat shock proteins
The goldenrod gall fly E urosta solidaginis (Diptera: Tephritidae) ranges from the southern us. northward into Canada. The larva overwinters within a ball gall on the stem of goldenrod Solidago spp. The galls often extend ... -
Cryoprotectants and Extreme Freeze Tolerance in a Subarctic Population of the Wood Frog
(2014-12-01)Two (2) Excel spreadsheets containing raw data supporting publication in PLOS ONE -
Cryoprotectants and extreme freeze tolerance in a subarctic population of the wood frog.
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 ... -
Dare to compare: fact-based versus simulation-based comparison in daily life
(2011-02-07)We examined the relative frequency of social, counter factual, past-temporal, and future-temporal comparison in daily life using an experience-sampling method, in which participants were randomly prompted to record thought ... -
Data - Maternal Comforting Behavior, Toddlers’ Dysregulated Fear, and Toddlers’ Emotion Regulatory Behaviors
These data accompany the article entitled, "Maternal Comforting Behavior, Toddlers’ Dysregulated Fear, and Toddlers’ Emotion Regulatory Behaviors." Collection of these data was supported by grants to Elizabeth Kiel (F31 ... -
Data archive for "Carbodiimide-driven toughening of interpenetrated polymer networks"
Recent work has demonstrated that temporary crosslinks in polymer networks generated by chemical “fuels” afford materials with large, transient changes in their mechanical properties. This can be accomplished in ... -
Data archive for "Carbodiimide-induced formation of transient polyether cages"
The use of “fuel” compounds to drive chemical systems out of equilibrium is currently of interest because of the potential for temporally controlled, responsive behavior. We have recently shown that transiently formed crown ... -
Data archive for "Chemically fueled covalent crosslinking of polymer materials"
Transiently crosslinked dynamic polymer networks are developed, using carbodiimide hydration to link carboxylic acids as anhydrides. From aqueous polymer solutions, non-equilibrium hydrogels are transiently formed, which ...
