Ecosystem-Vegetation Dynamics in Sub-arctic Stordalen Mire, Sweden
(2013-05-15)Increased global temperatures have contributed to the thaw of permafrost and a subsequent atmospheric production and release of methane (CH4) from subarctic ecosystems. Other climate change-related developments, including ... -
Education in Exile: Cultural Preservation and Promotion Among Tibetan Refugees in India
(2015-06-09)Education is a key part of forming a national identity, particularly for diasporic communities. Through ethnographic research at the Central of Tibetan Studies (CUTS) in Sarnath, India, I examine how CUTS preserves and ... -
Educational and Geographic Spillovers of Higher Education in the Developing World: Case Studies in Sub-Saharan Africa
(2020-07-06)Education is often a means to intergenerational mobility, but it still remains inaccessible to many people in much of the developing world. Higher education institutions directly affect the higher education level of the ... -

(2018-03-26)Imagine volunteering on Easter Island; one of the most isolated places on earth. Now imagine camping for a month and working with native youth while teaching them about their own island history. To top it all off, imagine ... -
The Effect of a Disrupted Light-Dark Schedule on Fear in Mice
(2013-05-20)The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of a disrupted light-dark (LD) schedule on fear and body weight in mice. Female and male Swiss Webster mice (N = 71) were exposed to either a normal 12 : 12 hr ... -
The Effect of Associative Learning on Antlion Feeding Behavior and Fitness
(2011-02-16)Previous research has demonstrated that a variety of insects are capable of responding to learned cues; however research has yet to analyze the effect of learning in predators that do not use active foraging methods to ... -
The Effect of Child Care Subsidies on the Employment of Mothers

The effect of one proton on the possible pathways of another proton in yttrium-doped barium zirconate
(2020-12-22)Proton conduction is a crucial property of fuel cell electrolytes. Unlike oxide-ion conductivity in oxide-ion conductors, proton conductivity occurs at a lower temperature (less than 600◦C), enhancing material stability ... -
The effect of oxygen vacancies on proton conduction in 12.5% Al doped BaZrO3
(2020-05-05)Acceptor doped barium zirconate is one of the most promising materials for stationary hydrogen fuel cells due to its high proton conductivity while maintaining thermodynamic stability. Many studies have shown that the ... -
The effect of oxygen vacancies on proton conduction in 12.5% Sc-doped BaZrO3
(2020-07-06)Fuel cells avoid the combustion process and hence are both more efficient and environmentally friendly than the common practice of burning fuels at power plants. Y-doped barium zirconium oxide (BaZrO3) represents one of ...
