How do we bridge the mismatch between teachers and students based on race and ethnicity currently in our nation's schools? The teaching force remains overwhelmingly White, while the percentage of K-12 students of color continues to rise. Because of cultural dissonance, teachers may not understand the needs of their students....
Phytophthora infestans, the cause of the devastating late blight disease of potato and tomato, exhibits a clonal reproductive lifestyle in North America. Phenotypes such as fungicide sensitivity and host preference are conserved among individuals within clonal lineages, while substantial phenotypic differences can exist between lineages. Whole P. infestans genomes were...
The thermal cross sections and resonance integrals for neutron capture by ⁷⁴,⁷⁸,⁸⁰,⁸²Se were measured using the same procedure and equipment for all of the isotopes. Uncertainty and absence of accurate previous values for several isotopes introduces a need of measuring these parameters using similar techniques. This was done using OSU’s...
The design considerations for fast-settling operational
amplifiers (opamps) differ significantly between sampled-data switchedcapacitor
(SC) and conventional continuous-time applications. In SC
circuits, the shape of the output voltage waveform of an opamp is of no
consequence provided that the output settles to within a specified
tolerance of its steady-state value prior...
Two trials were conducted over consecutive years to examine the effects of ewe
body condition and post-mating nutrition on ovulation rates and embryo survival. Trial 1
used 146 Polypay ewes ranging in age from 5 to 8 years in a 3 x 2 factorial array of pre-mating
(high-H, low flushed-LF...
The system of partial differential equations which governs the
motion of a Newtonian fluid has been known for over a century. Yet,
due to the complexity of the equations, an analytical solution is known
only for a few simple geometries or a few special cases such as very
slow motion....
The National Natural Landmarks (NNL) Program encourages the preservation of exceptional examples of the nation’s biological and geological features. To qualify for NNL designation, a site must be one of the best examples of a geological or biological feature within a biophysiographic province. Mount Howard - East Peak represents a...
