There is growing support and interest in postsecondary interdisciplinary environmental education, which integrates concepts and disciplines in addition to providing varied perspectives. There is a need to assess student learning in these programs as well
To test whether these regions are significantly enriched in male or female-biased genes, we developed a bootstrap approach (Additional file17: Figure S10C). As the mean expression level of a gene influences the log2FC value (i.e., genes with low expressions are more likely to have high lo...
Water and energy cycle in central Tibetan Plateau Use of multi-source non-discharge data for validation 1 Introduction [2] The Tibetan Plateau (TP), sometimes also called the “Third Pole,” covers a large area around 2.5 × 106 km2. It is the highest plateau in the world, with aver...
Overall, we follow a modified question development cycle (Urban-Lurain et al., 2015) (Fig. 1) that integrates question, rubric, and text classification model scoring as part of an integrative formative assessment development and validation process. Broadly, this approach uses linguistic feature-based...
(1972). The frequency of straining was one cycle per four minutes. The velocity was 0.5 mm/min. The tests were performed for three vertical strains (1, 2, and 3 kg/cm2). Shear displacement and vertical changes were continuously monitored. The effects of vertical stresses, void ratio, ...
Among all the metastable intermediates in the cycle, the S2 state has been attracting widespread attention due to its impressive spectrum signals detected by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) approach, specifically being assigned as the g ≈ 2.0 multiline signal (MLS) and g ≥ 4.1 form ...
Steam systems use varying amounts of water. Unlike a hydronic heating boiler, some of the water in the steam boiler is lost through the building's radiator steam vents at each heating cycle. Just how much water the steam boiler will lose varies widely depending on a number of factors. ...
Directive 2008/56/EC). In the Elbe river catchment, aspects of policy and science are closely connected, which became particularly obvious in a classic example of dioxin hot spot contamination, the case of the Spittelwasser creek. Here, the “source-first principle” of the first cycle of ...
[31]. One possible explanation is that stroke volume recovered better in the DMW trial and that this led to a faster and better recovery of VO2max. In humans, VO2max is limited by the ability of the cardiorespiratory system to deliver oxygen to the exercising muscles [32]. It has been...
RFE2 and CHIRPS rainfall, using an approach similar to the North American LDAS (NLDAS) precipitation downscaling method57. For this approach, we assume that the finer timescale, reference dataset, e.g., 3-hourly GDAS precipitation, represents an accurate diurnal cycle. First we derive sub-...
