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...

Virtual virtuosos : cyborgs and integrative ethics in the intimate machine

Creator:: Clemenhagen, Ronda L.
Abstract:: Standard accounts of women's relationship with technology stress women's need to overcome anxiety to achieve competence with computers. Recent studies provide evidence that this woman-anxiety-technology connection is an oversimplification of the relationship between women and computers. New literature also suggests that making computers more appealing will help girls overcome computational...

Examination of moisture content variation within an operational wet deck

Creator:: Schimleck, Laurence, Love-Myers, Kim, Sanders, Joe, Raybon, Heath, Daniels, Richard, Andrews, Edward, and Schilling, Erik
Abstract:: Many forest products companies in the southeastern United States store large volumes of round-wood under wet storage. Log quality depends on maintaining a high and constant wood moisture content; however, limited knowledge exists regarding moisture variation within individual logs, and within wet decks as a whole, making it impossible to...

Two notes on population biology

Creator:: Cull, Paul
Abstract:: Local stability seems to imply global stability for population models. To investigate this claim, we formally define a population model. This definition seems to include the one-dimensional discrete models now in use. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the global stability of our defined class of models. We...

Technical note: Time lag correction of aquatic eddy covariance data measured in the presence of waves

Creator:: Berg, P., Reimers, Clare E., Rosman, J. H., Huettel, M., Delgard, M. L., Reidenbach, M. A., and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
Abstract:: Extracting benthic oxygen fluxes from eddy covariance time series measured in the presence of surface gravity waves requires careful consideration of the temporal alignment of the vertical velocity and the oxygen concentration. Using a model based on linear wave theory and measured eddy covariance data, we show that a substantial...
