Convergence Of Microbial Assimilations Of Soil Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus And Sulfur In Terrestrial Ecosystems, Xiaofeng Xu, Dafeng Hui, Anthony W. King, Xia Song, Peter E. Thornton, Lihua Zhang

Biology Faculty Research

How soil microbes assimilate carbon-C, nitrogen-N, phosphorus-P and sulfur-S is fundamental for understanding nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. We compiled a global database of C, N, P and S concentrations in soils and microbes and developed relationships between them by using a power function model. The C:N:P:S was estimated to be 287:17:1:0.8 for soils and 42:6:1:0.4 for microbes. We found a convergence of the relationships between elements in soils and in soil microbial biomass across C, N, P and S. The element concentrations in soil microbial biomass follow a homeostatic regulation curve with soil element concentrations across C, N, P …

Learners’ Perceptions Of A Problem-Solving Approach On Their Mathematical Understanding In A Primary Mathematics Classroom In A School In Kinango Sub-County, Kwale County, Kenya. An Intervention Study Of Primary School In Kenya, Joseph Kisava Kilonzo

Master of Education

Many researchers have argued for the importance of problem solving in teaching mathematics. Relevant studies have focused on the role of the teacher as instructor and the teaching practices used by teachers teaching through problem solving. Most of these are western. The aim of this research study was to understand the influence of using a problem-solving approach in developing learners’ conceptual understanding in a mathematics classroom in a Kenyan private primary school. An intervention research study was adopted in a qualitative design since the study sought to examine and understand in a natural setting the implication of problem solving and …

Azimuthal Anisotropy In U+U And Au+Au Collisions At Rhic, James K. Adkins, Renee H. Fatemi, Suvarna Ramachandran, L. Adamczyk, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal, Z. Ahammed, I. Alekseev, J. Alford, A. Aparin, D. Arkhipkin, E. C. Aschenauer, G. S. Averichev

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Collisions between prolate uranium nuclei are used to study how particle production and azimuthal anisotropies depend on initial geometry in heavy-ion collisions. We report the two- and four-particle cumulants, v₂{2} and v₂{4}, for charged hadrons from U+U collisions at √^s_NN=193  GeV and Au+Au collisions at √^s_NN=200  GeV. Nearly fully overlapping collisions are selected based on the energy deposited by spectators in zero degree calorimeters (ZDCs). Within this sample, the observed dependence of v₂{2} on multiplicity demonstrates that ZDC information combined with multiplicity can preferentially select different overlap configurations …

Climate Change And Interpersonal Violence: A "Global" Estimate And Regional Inequities, Dennis Mares, Kenneth W. Moffett

SIUE Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

This study estimates the predicted impact of climate change on levels of violence in a sample of 57 countries. We sample western and non-western countries and perform a multilevel ARFIMA regression to examine if warmer temperatures are associated with higher levels of homicide. Our results indicate that each degree Celsius increase in annual temperatures is associated with a nearly 6% average increase in homicides. Regional variation in this predicted effect is detected, for example, with no apparent effects in former Soviet countries and far stronger effects found in Africa. This variation indicates that climate change may acutely increase violence in …

Observation Of B0→P¯Λd(*)−, Y. Y. Chang Et Al

Faculty Articles

We report the first observation of the decays B0→p¯ΛD(*)−. The data sample of 711  fb−1 used in this analysis corresponds to 772×106 B¯B pairs, collected at the Υ(4S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. We observe 19.8σ and 10.8σ excesses of events for the two decay modes and measure the branching fractions of B0→p¯ΛD− and B0→p¯ΛD*− to be (25.1±2.6±3.5)×10−6 and (33.6±6.3±4.4)×10−6, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results are not compatible with the predictions based on the generalized factorization approach. In addition, a threshold enhancement in the dibaryon …

American Culture’S Impact On Gender And The Perpetuation Of A Gender Binary, Anna Blaho

University Honors Program

This thesis explores the origins of American culture’s fixation on gender being a dichotomous concept. Through the analysis of previous research surrounding the subject of gender roles, expectations, and stereotypes, contributors to this restrictive mind frame as well as reinforcing agents were recognized. Historical trends have demonstrated the assignment of clear and separate tasks to the genders, which in turn created differentiated experiences and opportunities presented to each gender. Facilitated by the historical basis, American culture emulated similar patterns that instilled inflexible conceptions about gender to the point where it has created a discriminate workplace environment. As a consequence of …

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

Many massive galaxies at the centres of relaxed galaxy clusters and groups have vast reservoirs of warm (∼10 000 K) and cold (≲100 K) gas. In many such low-redshift systems this gas is lifted into the hot interstellar medium in filamentary structures, which are long lived and are typically not forming stars. Two important questions are how far do these reservoirs cool and if cold gas is abundant what is the cause of the low star formation efficiency? Heating and excitation of the filaments from collisions and mixing of hot particles in the surrounding X-ray gas describes well the optical …
