Assessing the oxidation states and structural stability of the Ce analogue of brannerite
(Wiley, 2017)The Ce‐containing analogue of brannerite (ie, UTi2O6) was previously considered to be stoichio- metric (ie, CeTi2O6); however, it has recently been determined that the material is O deficient. This oxygen‐deficient material ... -
Builder Borders on Aboriginal Lands
(2019)During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the United States and Canada expended significant effort demarcating and enforcing their shared border. The surveying process began in the east, transitioned to the ... -
Chemical mass transport between fluid fine tailings and the overlying water cover of an oil sands end pit lake
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-05-17)Fluid fine tailings (FFT) are a principal by-product of the bitumen extraction process at oil sands mines. Base Mine Lake (BML)—the first full-scale demonstration oil sands end pit lake (EPL)—contains approximately 1.9 3 ... -
Complexity or simplicity? Designing product pictures for advertising in online marketplaces
(Pergamon, 2016-01-31)In online marketplaces, many sellers highlight product and service information directly within product pictures for advertising purposes. Such a strategy increases the visual complexity of the picture and provides more ... -
Connecting Molecular Conformation to Aggregation in P3HT Using Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2017-10-11)Carbon 1s Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) and UV-vis spectroscopy are used to examine differences between highly aggregated and poorly aggregated forms of the polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), based ... -
Design, synthesis, catalytic application, and strategic redispersion of plasmonic silver nanoparticles in ionic liquid media
(Elsevier, 2014)Silver nanoparticles synthesized in tetraalkylphosphonium ionic liquids are found to be excellent catalysts for borohydride-induced reductive degeneration of Eosin-Y, a dye that has been classified as a Class 3 carcinogen ... -
Dissolved selenium(VI) removal by zero-valent iron under oxic conditions: Influence of sulfate and nitrate
(American Chemical Society, 2017-04-17)Dissolved Se(VI) removal by three commercially-available zero-valent irons (ZVIs) was examined in oxic batch experiments under circumneutral pH conditions in the presence and absence of NO3- and SO42-. Environmentally ... -
Does gamification work for boys and girls?: An exploratory study with a virtual learning environment
(ACM New York, NY, USA ©2015, 2015-04-13)The development and use of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) has increased considerably over the past decades. Following that trend, many research findings have shown the benefits of using VLE during the learning process. ... -
Effect of Different Implicit Social Networks on Recommending Research Papers
(ACM New York, NY, USA ©2016, 2016-07-13)Combining social network information with collaborative filtering recommendation algorithms has successfully reduced some of the drawbacks of collaborative filtering and increased the accuracy of recommendations. However, ... -
Ethics of scientific peer review: Are we judging or helping the review recipients?
(IEEE, 2014-09-08)Traditionally, ethics of a profession or organization are laid down by their pioneers, or subtly emerge over time as the organization advance. Getting conversant to these ethics requires teaching new or upcoming professionals, ... -
Exploiting the Use of Wikis to Support Collaborative Writing: A Case Study of an Undergraduate Computer Science Class
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-09-22)Use of wikis in education reflects a shift in the education paradigm from lecture and individual homework-based to a paradigm emphasizing student engagement and the construction of knowledge through collaboration and ... -
Factors Influencing User’s Attitude to Secondary Information Sharing and Usage
(SRCE-Sveučilišni računski centar, 2015-09-01)The increasing availability of enormous data about users online, along with availability of sophisticated tools and technology to store, aggregate, and analyze data for secondary use has raised concerns about how to balance ... -
