Science performance of United States youth on international exams : A cross-cultural meta-synthesis

Creator:: Huss, Christiana H.
Abstract:: The purpose of this meta-synthesis was to investigate why students from the U.S. receive the scores they do on the international TIMSS and PISA science exams. This work sought to shed light on the perceived disparity between science performance of U.S. students and students from other countries. To do so,...

Diastatic Activity in Citra® Hops as a Function of On-Bine Maturity

Creator:: Long, Aidan T.
Abstract:: Dry-hopping has grown from a novel to widespread technique in commercial craft beer production. It yields large returns in aroma that cannot be emulated with kettle hopping. However, it also leads to beer refermentation post-dry-hopping, a phenomenon colloquially referred to by U.S brewers as “hop creep.” This is a result...

Pilot study of operational parameters in microbial electrolysis cell with dark fermentation reaction

Creator:: Camplair, Mora
Abstract:: Biohydrogen production via dark fermentation (DF) and microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) demonstrate great potential for sustainable hydrogen generation. In this study, DF and MEC were coupled as a hybrid reactor and evaluated using brewery wastewater. The effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and buffer concentration on reactor performance were assessed...
