Most California community colleges collect copious amounts of data on entering students, most often through the assessment process. However, many times, the data are underutilized: only a few of the data elements captured are used for assessment purposes and the data are not used outside of placement. I have made several attempts to utilize the data, including an attempt to identify variables t...

Researchers from diverse fields continue to search for clues underlying the disparity between interest and achievement of men and women in mathematics. In Western countries, psychologists have focused on such factors as attitudes and motives when studying women’s mathematics achievement. Relatively little attention has been placed on women in sub-Saharan countries. For this study, one hundred a...

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth, visual quality, and stress response of 17 species of bedding plants andKentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensisL.) grown outdoors for 10 weeks during the summer of 2003 at three locations in Colorado. Plants were irrigated at 100% of the reference evapotranspiration (ET0) (amount required to maintain Kentucky bluegrass in an optimum condition) for 2 wee...

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria was created to greatly expand access to basic services to address the three diseases in its name. From its beginnings, its governance embodied some human rights principles: civil society is represented on its board, and the country coordination mechanisms that oversee funding requests to the Global Fund include representatives of people af...

Early seedling growth rate can be used to estimate seed vigor for small-seeded vegetable and flower seeds. However, hand measurement of small seedlings is tedious and difficult to reproduce among analysts. Computer-aided analysis digital images of seedlings should improve accuracy and reproducibility. A flat-bed scanner fitted with base and top lighting provided high resolution images of even s...

During the last two centuries, invasive species have become a ubiquitous problem in most ecosystems, causing wide-scale loss of biodiversity (David et al., 2017; Pyšek 2020) and economic damage (Diagne recipient communities. The impact is defined as measurable change an ecosystem property that can be attributed to individual (Ricciardi 2013). A plethora case studies identified impacts plant on ...

The decline in pollinating insects is well documented globally, leading to potentially severe impacts on floristic biodiversity and human health due the loss of pollination ecosystem services (Klein et al., 2007; Lundgren 2016; Smith 2015). Pollinator declines have occurred a combination habitat loss, climate change, pests diseases use pesticides (Potts 2010). As availability floral resources l...

As an academic with the dual identity of digital choreographer and scholar, like many artists my practice interrogates ideas and concepts as much as any of the papers I write. This paper is written from the perspective of an artist-scholar, with the emphasis on the artist side of the equation. It explores through examples the possibilities that digital media can offer to developments that are s...
