Enhanced resistance of single-layer graphene to ion bombardment

We report that single-layer graphene on a SiO_2/Si substrate withstands ion bombardment up to ~7 times longer than expected when exposed to focused Ga^+ ion beam. The exposure is performed in a dual beam scanning electron microscope/focused ion beam system at 30 kV accelerating voltage and 41 pA current. Ga^+ ion flux is determined by sputtering a known volume of hydrogenated amorphous carbon film deposited via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition

Community-Labor Alliance Sparks South Carolina

[Excerpt] On October 27,1994, employees of the Melrose Resort, on South Carolina\u27s Daufuskie Island, made history. They voted 98 to 45 to be represented by the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE). With this vote, these workers became the first in the Hilton Head area to successfully organize and win union representation. In the South, where corporate control is still the dominant theme and less than 3 percent of the workforce is organized, the victory in Hilton Head was remarkable. The campaign that lead to the vote was also remarkable because it pulled together an alliance rarely seen in this part of the country—labor and community. In order to win the vote and survive the 16 months of contract negotiations that followed, the workers depended on the support of an unusual and very successful partnership forged between the union and the Carolina Alliance for Fair Employment (CAFE)

Ethnographic Account

I decided to investigate the children’s store Carter’s in order to understand the importance of teamwork that goes into working in a retail store. It’s an elaborate process as a store to execute your goals and enforce strategies. I aimed to reveal the type of teamwork that goes on behind the scenes that showcases how important it is for Carter’s employees to successfully reach their goals
