Song Of The Dzopa: A Case Study Of Traditional Farming, Food, And, Isabella Pezzulo
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
In a plane high above the snow-capped jagged peaks and cracked earth of Ladakh, I stared down below with awe, wondering how people ever coaxed life from the soil in this mountain-desert landscape. The intention of this study is to see how traditional subsistence farming actually takes place and the social settings formed by these practices. Living in the village of Tar for a little over twenty days allowed me to observe the age-old practices in which nourishment is produced and community formed through working the land. Working with my hands and resting with cups of butter tea alongside villagers …

Our study results indicate that success of fundraising out- comes depends both on the nature of social connections that determine the amount of information available about other’s giving behaviors as well as the endowments from which people make their donations. Thus, a key lesson from our study is that fundraising is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. If funding organizations want to streamline their activities to achieve their targets at the lowest possible costs, they should be mindful of the donor demographic and the nature of community relations. At this point, we caution the reader about extrapolating the results of this controlled …

Magnetic nanobeads are more and more widely used in the fields of biology and medicine. However, there are still some shortcomings about the magnetic nanobeads such as nonuniform size, poor dispersity, weak magnetism and low functionalization degree after modification. This study was focused on how to acquire magnetic nanobeads by overcoming these drawbacks. Firstly, a highly magnetic nucleus with homogenous sizes, Fe3O4, was prepared. Then, it was successively modified by tetraethoxysilane and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, giving functionalized magnetic nanobeads Fe3O4@SiO2 or Fe3O4@SiO2—NH2, respectively. The influence …
