Work in progress - Undergraduate research course design at KFUPM, a basic starting experience

— In this paper we share our approach into the design of undergraduate research course at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). The course design process, description and instruction delivery are discussed. The lessons learnt will be highlighted along with experiences and challenges from a first offering of the course during winter term of 2011. As a first assessment, major be...

ADSA-SAD Undergraduate Competition: Undergraduate Original Research

A study evaluating the effects of metaphylaxis antibiotics and milk replacer additives on the health and development of Holstein bull calves (n = 52; mean body weight = 42.28 kg + 3 kg; starting age < 3 d) was conducted. The calves were placed into a completely random 3 × 4 factorial design with each group receiving either tilmicosin phosphate (TIL), ceftiofur crystalline free acid (CEF), or sa...

Suggestions for RESEARCH PROJECTS starting

Interface processes strongly affect the performances and efficiency of organic based devices. The integration of 2D materials like graphene in organic devices (for example as electrodes) is expected, on the other hand, to improve the overall device performances. There is a need therefore for a deeper understanding and control of processes like charge transfer (CT) at interfaces between organic ...
