The practice of green infrastructure is synonymous with collaborative partnerships. Expertise from engineers, land care professionals, planners, and natural resource consultants are often required for successful project implementation. Traditionally, these professionals perform their responsibilities in their disciplinary “silos,” but this evolving area of sustainable development is creating a demand for...
Natural landscapes around the world have experienced serious loss and degradation, which negatively impacts ecosystem service provision by these landscapes. As a result, there have been serious investments to restore natural capital. However, restoration faces complex trade-offs, such as that between restoration quality, or how closely the restored landscapes resembles...

Perturbed Angular Correlations (PAC) spectroscopy is an effective
local probe technique often employed in the characterization of defects or
phase transitions in any of a variety of materials. This technique relies
upon the ability of probe nuclei to function as gauges of the magnetic
fields and electric field gradients local...
The end goal of any educational program is to prepare a student for the challenges they will see after completion of their studies. In the realm of engineering, the pinnacle of this occurs during a student’s final Capstone course series, where students are asked to apply their various skills learned...
The need for less toxic quantum dots (QDs) has led to a significant number of investigations related to copper indium sulfide (CIS) QDs. Lower toxicity and broad band absorbance width makes CIS QDs appealing for light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, bio-imaging, solar cells, and computing. The optical and electronic...
This study was conducted to determine if there were
possible areas of student individuality and uniqueness
that might contribute to successful completion of distance
education courses as compared to successful completion of
traditional classroom courses. Five areas of possible
differences were identified and studied: 1) differences
between the number of...
