Critical consciousness (CC) and hopeful future expectations (HFE) are believed to promote positive development in youth who face structural inequalities (Callina et al., 2014; Heberle et al., 2020; Mcwhirter & McWhirter, 2008). Although both CC and HFE hold promise for enhancing the positive development of oppressed youth, gaps in the...

Racial/ethnic minority individuals are unable to escape the realities of everyday discrimination in the United States: at least 87% of African American adolescents and 50% of Hispanic/Latinx young adults report experiencing discrimination within the past year (Neblett, Rivas-Drake, & Umaña-Taylor, 2012; Pérez, Fortuna, & Alegria, 2008; Seaton, Caldwell, Sellers, &...
War and persecution have devastating consequences, and the United States (U.S.) has a time-honored commitment to providing refuge to those most afflicted. Over the last four decades, the U.S. has provided sanctuary to more than 3.2 million refugees through its resettlement programs (U.S. Department of State, 2015a). Burma’s long-standing civil...
Researchers and practitioners often assume that positive and negative outcomes are inversely correlated. Youth development can be more complex than a simple linear association, however. This complexity is poorly understood, with more research needed to inform how such associations manifest among specific populations and how sociodemographic factors may drive variation...
Over one million immigrants and refugees—many of whom are children—relocate to the U.S. each year. Upon relocation, families often need translation assistance, and youth are regularly asked to step into that role. Researchers call this phenomenon language brokering. The present manuscript describes two studies that examined the prevalence, frequency, and...
Flexible Electronics is a fast developing technology that is set to revamp and revolutionize conventional electronics through the development of devices that are easily conformable to surfaces of any arbitrary geometry. Such devices would have vast applications in areas where the rigidity of traditional silicon based electronics is undesirable, such...
Despite near unanimous opinion on the consequences of climate change by scientific community, the rate at which carbon is emitted into the atmosphere continues to increase. The need for a clean and sustainable source of energy is therefore one of humankind's most urgent challenges. Solar energy is the most abundant...
Oxides of nitrogen are a concern as effluents to atmospheres
because they participate in photochemical reactions which produce
smog, because they attenuate sunlight which gives the atmosphere a
reddish brown cast, and because of their toxic properties and the
health hazards associated with the photochemical products they produce.
Oxides of...
The importance of automobile exhaust as a source of atmospheric pollutants has been recognized for several years. With the
control of stationary sources in geographic areas such as Los
Angeles County, the automobile has become the major uncontrolled
source of air pollution.
The three major pollutants emitted by automobiles are...
The capabilities of the Tektronix Model J2C/7J20 Rapid Scanning
Spectrometer for the determination of molecular species resulting from
Otto cycle combustion were experimentally investigated after a literature
search of the subject area. Combustion of hydrogen-air, carbon monoxideair,
and gasoline-air mixtures in the combustion chamber of a Cooperative
Fuel Research engine...
