Critical Gameplay: Software Studies in Computer Gameplay
(2010-10-12)The computer game software with which we interact on a daily basis not only entertains us, it trains us into specific patterns. Critical Gameplay is a design practice which endeavors to expose and redesign the patterns to ... -
A Critical Political Economy of Web Advertising History
Using the United States as a case study, this chapter outlines the history of web advertising from a critical political economy of media approach. As part of the broader privatization of the internet in the 1990s, U.S. ... -
Cross-Sector Collaboration to Support College and Career Readiness in an Urban School District
Background: School reforms requiring collaborations spanning multiple sectors are increasing in prevalence, but extant research has primarily focused only upon cross-sector partnerships involving education and social ... -
The “Crossing Borders” Program: Increasing Intercultural Competency Via Structured Social Interactions
(2013-04-04)Increasing diversity in American college classrooms and recent trends toward globalization require professors to teach more creatively in order to encourage students’ face-to-face intercultural interactions and resulting ... -
Cryobiology of the freeze-tolerant gall fly Eurosta solidaginis: Overwintering energetics and heat shock proteins.
The goldenrod gall fly Eurosta solidaginis (Diptera: Tehritidae) ranges from the southern U.S. northward into Canada. The larvae overwinters with a ball gall on the stem of goldenrod Solidago spa. The galls often extend ... -
Cryobiology of the freeze-tolerent gall fly Eurosta solidaginis: overwintering energetics and heat shock proteins
The goldenrod gall fly E urosta solidaginis (Diptera: Tephritidae) ranges from the southern us. northward into Canada. The larva overwinters within a ball gall on the stem of goldenrod Solidago spp. The galls often extend ... -
Cryoprotectants and Extreme Freeze Tolerance in a Subarctic Population of the Wood Frog
(2014-12-01)Two (2) Excel spreadsheets containing raw data supporting publication in PLOS ONE -
Cryoprotectants and extreme freeze tolerance in a subarctic population of the wood frog.
Wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) exhibit marked geographic variation in freeze tolerance, with subarctic populations tolerating experimental freezing to temperatures at least 10-13 degrees Celsius below the lethal limits for ... -
Dare to compare: fact-based versus simulation-based comparison in daily life
(2011-02-07)We examined the relative frequency of social, counter factual, past-temporal, and future-temporal comparison in daily life using an experience-sampling method, in which participants were randomly prompted to record thought ... -
Data - Maternal Comforting Behavior, Toddlers’ Dysregulated Fear, and Toddlers’ Emotion Regulatory Behaviors
These data accompany the article entitled, "Maternal Comforting Behavior, Toddlers’ Dysregulated Fear, and Toddlers’ Emotion Regulatory Behaviors." Collection of these data was supported by grants to Elizabeth Kiel (F31 ... -
Data archive for "Carbodiimide-driven toughening of interpenetrated polymer networks"
Recent work has demonstrated that temporary crosslinks in polymer networks generated by chemical “fuels” afford materials with large, transient changes in their mechanical properties. This can be accomplished in ... -
Data archive for "Carbodiimide-induced formation of transient polyether cages"
The use of “fuel” compounds to drive chemical systems out of equilibrium is currently of interest because of the potential for temporally controlled, responsive behavior. We have recently shown that transiently formed crown ... -
Data archive for "Chemically fueled covalent crosslinking of polymer materials"
Transiently crosslinked dynamic polymer networks are developed, using carbodiimide hydration to link carboxylic acids as anhydrides. From aqueous polymer solutions, non-equilibrium hydrogels are transiently formed, which ... -
Data archive for "Chemically fueled transient geometry changes in diphenic acids"
Transient changes in molecular geometry are key to the function of many important biochemical systems. Here, we show that diphenic acids undergo out-of-equilibrium changes in dihedral angle when reacted with a carbodiimide ... -
Data archive for "Conformational control of ortho-phenylenes by terminal amides"
Control over the folding of oligomers, be it broad induction of a preferred helical handedness or subtle changes in the orientations of individual functional groups, is important for applications ranging from molecular ... -
Data archive for "Dissipative assembly of macrocycles comprising multiple transient bonds"
Dissipative (nonequilibrium) assembly powered by chemical fuels has great potential for the creation of new adaptive chemical systems. However, while molecular assembly at equilibrium is routinely used to prepare complex ... -
Data archive for "Engineering chiral induction in centrally functionalized ortho-phenylenes"
Work on foldamers, non-biological oligomers that mimic the hierarchical structure of biomacromolecules, continues to yield new architectures of ever increasing complexity. o-Phenylenes, a class of helical aromatic foldamers, ... -
Data archive for "Fluorine Labeling of ortho-Phenylenes to Facilitate Conformational Analysis"
1H NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the conformational analysis of ortho-phenylene foldamers in solution. However, as o-phenylenes are integrated into ever more complex systems, we are reaching the limits of what ...
