Concurrent enrollment in lecture and laboratory enhances student performance and retention
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2012-05)
Laboratories have been a cornerstone in teaching and learning across multiple scientific disciplines for more than 100 years. At the collegiate level, science laboratories and their corresponding lectures are often offered ...
Promoting understanding of chemical representations: Students' use of a visualization tool in the classroom
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-09)
Many students have difficulty learning symbolic and molecular representations of chemistry. This study investigated how students developed an understanding of chemical representations with the aid of a computer-based ...
Proportional myoelectric control of a virtual object to investigate human efferent control
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-12)
We used proportional myoelectric control of a one-dimensional virtual object to investigate differences in efferent control between the proximal and distal muscles of the upper limbs. Eleven subjects placed one of their ...
Assessing microbial competition in a hydrogen‐based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) using multidimensional modeling
(Cambridge University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-09)
The membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) is a novel technology that safely delivers hydrogen to the base of a denitrifying biofilm via gas‐supplying membranes. While hydrogen is an effective electron donor for denitrifying ...
Biomass evolution in porous media and its effects on permeability under starvation conditions
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-07-05)
The purpose of this study was to understand bacteria profile modification and its applications in subsurface biological operations such as biobarrier formation, in situ bioremediation, and microbial-enhanced oil recovery. ...
Large‐scale science education intervention research we can use
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2012-03)
This article develops an argument that the type of intervention research most useful for improving science teaching and learning and leading to scalable interventions includes both research to develop and gather evidence ...
Neighborhood Social Change and Perceptions of Environmental Degradation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Human Sciences Press, Inc. ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-11)
This paper investigates how changes in neighborhood facilities—new schools, health posts, bus services, mills, dairies, agricultural cooperatives, and other facilities—influence perceptions of environmental degradation. ...
Localized lentivirus delivery via peptide interactions
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.InTech, 2016-09)
Gene delivery from biomaterial scaffolds has been employed to induce the expression of tissue inductive factors for applications in regenerative medicine. The delivery of viral vectors has been described as reflecting a ...
Comparing three attitude-behavior theories for predicting science teachers' intentions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2002-11)
Social psychologists' attitude-behavior theories can contribute to understanding science teachers' behaviors. Such understanding can, in turn, be used to improve professional development. This article describes leading ...
