The Impact of Coeducational Residence Halls on Men\u27s Relationships with Women

The college years are a critical time for the development of healthy male-female relationships, but institutions on the whole often neglect or poorly meet that need. Astin (1993b) found that college does not eliminate or even reduce many of the stereotypical differences between the sexes and often serve[s] to widen gender gaps that existed at the point of college entry (p.9). One such remedy for this developmental issue is the coeducational hall, a learning environment designed to engender normal interactions between men and women and break down unsubstantiated biases between genders. This study examined the relationship between coeducational housing and men\u27s attitudes toward women on one small, private college campus. 494 men completed the Attitudes toward Women Scale (Spence, Helmreich, & Stapp, 1973), and their results were analyzed by living situation. A comparison of means found that men living in coeducational residence halls scored higher on the feminism scale than did men living in all-male halls, demonstrating that men in these halls hold more progressive attitudes toward women. These findings both show there is a relationship between coeducational halls and healthy inter-gender relationships and provide a foundation for future studies into the effectiveness of such residential designs

Nitrate uptake across biomes and the influence of elemental stoichiometry: A new look at LINX II

Considering recent increases in anthropogenic N loading, it is essential to identify the controls on N removal and retention in aquatic ecosystems because the fate of N has consequences for water quality in streams and downstream ecosystems. Biological uptake of nitrate (NO3−) is a major pathway by which N is removed from these ecosystems. Here we used data from the second Lotic Intersite Nitrogen eXperiment (LINX II) in a multivariate analysis to identify the primary drivers of variation in NO3− uptake velocity among biomes. Across 69 study watersheds in North America, dissolved organic carbon:NO3− ratios and photosynthetically active radiation were identified as the two most important predictor variables in explaining NO3− uptake velocity. However, within a specific biome the predictor variables of NO3− uptake velocity varied and included various physical, chemical, and biological attributes. Our analysis demonstrates the broad control of elemental stoichiometry on NO3− uptake velocity as well as the importance of biome-specific predictors. Understanding this spatial variation has important implications for biome-specific watershed management and the downstream export of NO3−, as well as for development of spatially explicit global models that describe N dynamics in streams and rivers

Chaser of Ghosts: A Novel

Chaser of Ghosts is a speculative novel. The story is set in Octopolis, Moscow Division, year 2115, and explores family, prejudice, and greed. During a routine campaign press conference, Nika Niles thwarts an assassination attempt on her mother’s life. Her mother thinks she will be safer with her father, so Nika travels with a retired black ops agent to visit her father’s geology lab, where not all is as it seems. Nika learns a life-changing secret about her family and a confirmed bachelor struggles to help her accept the truth, her identity, and the role of those who have lied to hide the past. Meanwhile, Nika’s mother, Kristian, is trying to stay alive. The state struggles to uncover the identity of Kristian’s enemy, who sends taunting, psychological threats. The violence against the citizens escalates. When evidence suggests that a business mogul is orchestrating assassination attempts and civilian massacres, the Niles and Evanovich families, along with their closest allies, must decide who to trust. After Kristian and a little boy are kidnapped, the two families receive unexpected help in their efforts to find the captives and defeat the mastermind before time runs out

POLYMER ON GRAPHENE

A top - gated graphene field effect transistor can be fabricated by forming a layer of graphene on a substrate, and applying an electrochemical deposition process to deposit a layer of dielectric polymer on the graphene layer. An electric potential between the graphene layer and a reference electrode is cycled between a lower potential and a higher potential. A top gate is formed above the polymer

The Development of a Bilingual Program in the Heart of Iowa

In the article, the author reviews the process of programmatic change as services for limited English proficient (LEP) students at Woodbury Elementary School in Marshalltown, Iowa progressed from a pull-out English as a Second Language (ESL) program to a transitional bilingual program, and ultimately to an inclusive bilingual model. The author recounts the early stages of the program, its growth and history, and the conditions which led to the change. The author also provides a detailed snapshot of the current program, including goals, various implementation issues and their resolutions, and a summary of student performance results. Continual evolution of the program as well as attempts to address current challenges is also discusse
