Report On ‘ChemLinks: Changing the Way Students Learn Chemistry’
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., 1998-02)
ChemLinks is a collaborative effort by over seventy active participants from twenty-four academic institutions to write, test, and disseminate topical modules to be used to teach chemistry in the first and second years of ...
Report On ‘Assessing Student Outcomes’
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., 1998-02)
This workshop was composed of three interrelated topics: (1) learning styles, (2) teaching beliefs, and (3) group problems. To demonstrate different learning styles, an introductory survey was given to the participants to ...
Ab initio-based vibrational analysis of α-poly( L -alanine)
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-10-15)
Polarized ir and Raman spectra have been obtained on oriented films of α-helical poly( L -alanine) (α-PLA) and its N-deuterated derivative. These improved spectra permit a more complete assignment of observed bands to A-, ...
Evaluation of the simultaneous use of Cp 2 VMe 2 and CpTiCl 2 N(SiMe 3 ) 2 as precursors to ceramic thin films containing titanium and vanadium: Towards titanium–vanadium carbonitride
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-03)
Ceramic thin films containing titanium, vanadium, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen were obtained on steel substrates at 873 K, under nitrogen and helium gases and at low pressure, by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from two ...
Morphology and crystal structure of a recombinant silk-like molecule, SLP4
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-04-05)
Morphology and crystal structure of a recombinant silk-like molecule, SLP4, were studied. Wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) and electron diffraction revealed that SLP4 lyophilized powder and thin films were isomorphic ...
Linear and hyperbranched polycarbosilanes with Si-CH 2 -Si bridging groups: A synthetic platform for the construction of novel functional polymeric materials
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-10)
Work carried in the authors laboratory on Si–CH 2 –Si bridged polycarbosilanes is reviewed. In pursuit of high-yield polymeric precursors to silicon carbide, convenient synthetic routes to both linear and hyperbranched ...
Preparation and properties of silicon-containing polymer hybrids from 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-10)
The preparation of organic–inorganic polymer hybrids consisting of carbon–carbon and siloxane chains was investigated by radical polymerization of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MAS) followed by acid-catalyzed ...
Report On ‘Comprehensive Curricular Change at a Small Liberal Arts College: Bioorganic First at Juniata College’
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., 1998-02)
Because the conceptual basis of the curriculum is that the majority of the students are not chemists, participants in this session examined which aspects of organic chemistry are really necessary for a nonchemical (mostly ...
