Negotiating between conflicting discourse communities : scientists writing technical marketing copy

Creator:: Bratten, JoAnne Lynn
Abstract:: This case study investigates how scientists who write technical marketing copy experience and resolve the tension that results from the conflicting demands of their local (company) and global (research science) discourse communities. Twelve scientists, who are currently technical marketing writers at a small biotechnology company, were interviewed by e-mail over...

A Feminist Celebrates the Rediscovery of Immanence

Creator:: Lockhart, Janet L.
Abstract:: I offer a personal and prehistoric exploration of the concept of immanence, the principle of a divine force living, remaining, and operating within living creatures, inherent in the human, including the female; a unifying force that connects humans to each other, to nature, and to the earth. I examine the...

Forest biomass estimation with hemispherical photography for multiple forest types and various atmospheric conditions

Creator:: Clark, Joshua Andrew
Abstract:: The importance of accurately identifying inventories of domestic energy, including forest biomass, has increasingly become a priority of the US government and its citizens as the cost of fossil fuels has risen. It is useful to identify which of these resources can be processed and transported at the lowest cost...

Automatic program generation for scientific computing

Creator:: Fu, Zhe
Abstract:: The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...

Eliciting informal specifications from scientific modelers for evaluation and debugging

Creator:: Bogart, Christopher
Abstract:: Professional software engineers have an arsenal of techniques such as unit testing and assertions to check their specifications, but these techniques require tools, motivation, experience and training that programmers without professional software engineering training may not have. As a result, professionals in other fields, such as scientific modelers, face greater...

Puget Sound Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (EGCS) Washwater Ecological Risk Assessment

Creator:: Word, Jay, Wang, Dayang (Cindy), McGrath, Joy, and Stubblefield, William
Abstract:: Beginning in 2020, the International Maritime Organization International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) required vessels to comply with new sulfur air emission standards in Sulphur Emission Control Areas (Baltic Sea, North Sea, and off the coasts of the US and Canada) by: 1) using 0.1% sulfur...

Developing NGSS Scientific Practices Through Inquiry in an Outdoor Learning Environment

Creator:: Halsey Randall, Micki Marie
Abstract:: The National Research Council has aggregated research evidence on the pedagogy of science teaching and learning (NRC, 2012), culminating in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). These standards support emphasis on eight scientific practices as an important component for teaching science as inquiry to K-12 students. This latest framework for...

The Impact of Guiding Questions and Rubrics in the Scientific Writing of Middle-Division Physics Students

Creator:: Watson, Drew M.
Abstract:: The aim of this Physics Education Research project was to implement a modified version of Calibrated Peer Review and measure the impacts in junior-level students' scientific writing. The project developed and implemented a set of guiding questions, instructor written examples, and a rubric which were implemented in a multi-staged process,...

Scientists' perspectives on the importance of scientific communication in natural resource decision-making

Creator:: Shaw, Christine Michelle
Abstract:: Natural resource decisions require consideration at many levels, ranging from how one invertebrate will be affected by a nearby road, to how an entire watershed will be transformed by a massive clearcut. Considerations reach farther than just the local ecological community-human communities, economies, and future impacts on the communities and...

Integration of Scientific and Local Knowledge in Data-Poor Fisheries Assessments

Creator:: Jara Baquero, Andrea C.
Abstract:: Small-scale fisheries (SSF) around the world face many challenges. They are a highly dynamic, important sector for coastal communities in developing nations, playing a critical role in poverty alleviation and food security. SSFs generally have few resources to ensure their long-term sustainability. They are often fished and managed locally and...
