Collaborative Research: Understanding STEM Teaching through Integrated Contexts in Everyday Life
Increased focus on school accountability and teacher performance measures have resulted in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instruction that emphasizes cont...
NSFGEO-NERC:Collaborative Research: A New Mechanistic Framework for Modeling Rift Processes in Antarctic Ice Shelves Validated through Improved Strain-rate and Seismic Observations
Calving of tabular icebergs accounts for a significant fraction of ice mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet. In addition to this direct mass loss, calving may further accelerate...
IRES Track I: Rapid, Integrated Geotechnical and Geochemical Characterization of Mine Waste for Phytoremediation and Biofuel/Bioenergy Production
The transition to renewable energies requires mining raw materials to develop and sustain these sources of energy. Unfortunately, mining has historically created a legacy of heavy...
Effect of Expanding Barrier Precautions for Reducing Clostridium difficile Acquisition in VA.
Background: Each year approximately 1.7 million occur in the United States causing significant morbidity and nearly 100,000 deaths. Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has become...
Rhythms in the beat: Circadian Clock Regulation of Cardiac Electrophysiology
Each year, millions of people in the UK experience heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias). Given that cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of cardiovascular-related deaths, underst...
Collaborative Research: Does tree encroachment with altered hydrology in peatlands accelerate or suppress decomposition?
Peatlands are important ecosystems in the global carbon (C) cycle owing to their ability to take up and store vast quantities of C under cool and wet conditions. While these condit...
Collaborative Research: Understanding spatiotemporal dynamics of plant-soil feedbacks: Consequences for shrub-grass interactions in a dryland ecotone
Understanding factors that allow species to migrate into new suitable habitats has become increasingly urgent because of the rapid pace of human-caused environmental change. This p...
Multi-Spectral Digital Holography for Aerosol Material Characterization
Aerosols are small particles of solid or liquid material dispersed in a gas and they are common in everyday life. Familiar examples include the water-droplets forming clouds, the d...

Exploring room temperature dynamic covalent bonds in adaptive materials
PART 1: NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Polymers/plastics play a critical role in almost every aspect of our daily life. Generally, most plastics in everyday use are passive, that is, de...

NSFGEO-NERC: Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation Response to Oyashio Extension Frontal Variability
Winter over the North Pacific features an endless parade of frontal storms, forming near Japan and building as they cross the ocean to reach North America. Model simulations can p...
This is My face: Re-signifying HIV stigma through participatory visual methods
"This is My face: Re-signifying HIV stigma through participatory visual methods" explores how people create meaning of the "biographical disruption" caused by a...
Translational Modeling of Brain Injury Rehabilitation to Maximize Recovery.
The motivating force driving me to build an independent research enterprise has been my personal desire to maximize functional recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Experien...

Using consumption and reward simulations to create desire for plant-based foods
The production of animal-based foods has a significant, negative impact on the environment. Compared to plant-based protein sources, such as beans and lentils, the production of be...
