  • A perspective on Wikipedia : approaches to educational use

    Creator:
    Bridges, Laurie M. and Dowell, Meghan L.
    Abstract:
    In our previous column, we reviewed Wikipedia's role as a global encyclopedia and demonstrated how it can be paired with the ACRL Framework (Dowell & Bridges, 2019). This column will expand on its use, highlighting several approaches for employing Wikipedia as an educational tool through programs, assignments, and methods by...

  • Learning to Teach Science from a Contextualized Stance

    Creator:
    L’Heureux, K., Giamellaro, M., Beaudry, M-C., Buxton, C., Ayotte-Beaudet, J-P., and Alajmi, T.
    Abstract:
    Contextualization is a curricular approach and a learning process in which science content knowledge is intentionally situated within a context where that knowledge can be authentically applied or observed. Many recent science education reforms include contextualization as a central tenet. Our goal in this review was to examine commonalities across...

  • Meeting the Night : The Science and Mystery of an Endangered Habitat

    Creator:
    Sisson, Jill
    Abstract:
    Night is an extraordinary resource. Unlike air, water, or soil, nighttime is a spatio-temporal phenomenon, which leads to many crucial roles. It provides refuge to wildlife species, triggers hormonal and behavioral responses among a wide variety of organisms, and serves as an essential migratory backdrop for species that navigate by...

  • An Interdisciplinary Agent-based Evacuation Modeling Framework: Seeking Convergence of Social, Natural, and Engineered Systems to Improve Life Safety in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

    Creator:
    Chen, Chen
    Abstract:
    Social scientists have studied people's responses to disasters for many decades, and behavioral commonalities and variations are summarized in different mental schemes/models in disaster studies. Integrating those findings from social science into evacuation simulation can improve simulation accuracy and eventually better support decision-making and disaster preparedness. However, this kind of...

  • Toward a flexible and accurate approach to null network sampling

    Creator:
    Bright, Zachary A.
    Abstract:
    Null networks are a type of random graph that is favored for the analysis of a wide variety of real-world networks, including gene-regulatory networks, food webs, and species co-occurrence matrices. As a hypothesis-generating tool, null networks are invaluable because they can reveal network motifs and unusual large-scale properties of networks...

  • The Role of Facilitation for Maintaining Key Processes of Sagebrush-steppe Plant Populations in a Changing Climate

    Creator:
    Weisgerber, Elizabeth K.
    Abstract:
    Drought events have been shown to impact species distributions and are predicted to increase in frequency as the climate changes. As this occurs, ecologists predict species distributions will shift dependent upon species ability to track climate. These shifts in species distribution are expected to be particularly acute in arid and...

  • Investigating the Mechanisms for the Effects of Nitrate Treatment on Exercise Performance and Energy Metabolism

    Creator:
    Keller, Rosa M.
    Abstract:
    Dietary nitrate (NO3-), consumed primarily from leafy green and root vegetables, lowers blood pressure, improves vascular function and aerobic exercise performance. This performance-enhancing effect of nitrate supplementation is largely attributed to the increased bioavailability of the signaling molecule, nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is a ubiquitous free radical signaling molecule...

  • The Economic Path Dependency of Foreign Extraction Duration: Why Colonialism Still Matters

    Creator:
    Kemp, Duncan S.
    Abstract:
    Foreign occupation and extraction have arguably existed since the very emergence of interstate conflict millennia ago. Yet despite humanity’s vast experience on the topic, we know surprisingly little about its long-term economic consequences. It is generally accepted by most that the extraction of resources by a foreign power tends to...
