This investigation was designed to compare the growth in attitudes
toward science and the critical thinking abilities of high
school juniors in chemistry to juniors not enrolled in chemistry.
One hundred and fifty-three chemistry students and 149 non-chemistry
students were randomly selected to participate in the study.
Criterion tests used...
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) field effect transistors (FET) were fabricated on atomically smooth large-area single layers grown by chemical vapor deposition. The layer qualities and physical properties were characterized using high-resolution Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Electronic performance of the FET devices was measured using...
Many object recognition applications require detecting and responding to objects drawn from a different distribution from that of the training data. This task is referred to as out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, and it is often formulated as an outlier detection problem
wherein the probability distribution of the known data P(X) is...
This study was designed to provide a physical and ecological analysis of paired
watersheds in the semi-arid western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) woodlands of
Central Oregon. Instrumentation and monitoring was accomplished in Jensen and Mays
watersheds as the preliminary portion of a longer term project. Instrumentation was
designed to address changes...
This volume seeks to integrate gender analysis into the global history of science and medicine from the late Middle Ages to the present by focusing on masculinity, the part of the gender equation that has received the least attention from scholars. The premise of the volume is that social constructions...
The distribution of anthocyanin pigments and polyphenolics of sweet
(Prunus avium) and sour cherries (Prunus cerasus) were determined by Ultraviolet-
Visible (UV-Visible) spectrophotometry and High Performance Liquid
Chromatography with photodiode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Their antioxidant
properties were determined by Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) and
Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP)....
