Bullying of girls based on their body size remains a problem in schools that often appears
to be tolerated and neglected by adult staff. Thus far, there has been a limited amount of
research on this topic, including a ...
Investigation of the impact of impurities on the properties of nitride semiconductors grown by RPECVD
(2015-10-21)
Progress toward the improvement of optical emission from InGaN optical active region devices is made through a combination of the tailoring of p-type gallium nitride growth recipes and bandstructure calculations on a graded ...
An exploration of mathematics discourse in a reform-oriented classroom and its role in the development of strategies and big ideas in early addition and subtraction
(2015-02-02)
The focus of this video case study was to analyze the role of social norms (discourse in a

Advances in communication systems and VLSI circuits increase the performance requirements and complexity of circuits. During the design process, there is a need to perform computationally demanding numerical simulations ...
Integrating a tactical harvest-scheduling model with a log sort-yard location model
(2014-01-22)
Failure to sort logs prior to their transportation to a mill can result in a loss of
value in the forest products supply chain—for unsorted, higher value logs can be used in
a low-value product where lower valued logs ...
Critical decisions: risk allocation in a model arthropod (Folsomia candida)
(2015-06-15)
Risk allocation theory predicts that foraging animals moderate predation risk by
allocating their foraging effort and space use according to their energetic demands.
Undernourished animals have a greater need for energy ...
