Funded by grants from the National Science (DUE 0817461 and 0817498), the first cohort of engineering and engineering technology colleges gathered in the summer of 2010 to work with Purdue University and Alverno College faculty on curriculum development for student learning outcomes, including Engineer of 2020 attributes. The overarching goals of this panel are to (1) present the progress of th...

The Arctic and sub-Arctic environments have seen a rapid growth of shrub vegetation at the expense of the Arctic tundra in recent decades. In order to develop better tools to assess and understand this phenomenon, the sensitivity of multi-polarized SAR backscattering at C and X band to shrub density and height is studied under various conditions. RADARSAT-2 and TerraSAR-X images were acquired f...

We review the status of searches for Supersymmetry at the Tevatron Collider. After discussing the theoretical aspects relevant to the production and decay of supersymmetric particles at the Tevatron, we present the current results for Runs Ia and Ib as of the summer of 1997.

By means of an event study of stock market reactions to the announcement of the Olympic Games host cities, we find a significant and positive announcement effect of hosting the Summer Games, with a cumulative abnormal return of about 2% within a few days. We do not find any significant results for the Winter Games. Neither do we detect a significant impact when bidders lose the competition. Our...

This study presents an updated assessment of the projected climate change over Greece in near future (2021–2050) and at end 21st century (2071–2100) (EOC), relative to reference period 1971–2000, focusing on seasonal crop-specific climatic indices. The indices include days (d) with: a maximum daily near-surface temperature (TASMAX) > 30 °C Spring, TASMAX 35 Summer (hot days), minimum (TASMIN...

Wild rocket is a leafy vegetable with economic interest as consequence of baby leaf ready-to-eat salads. The climate crisis expected to influence wild production, but these effects could be confronted cultivation in greenhouses and plant factories artificial lighting (PFALs). Climate responses are related growing seasons. Our objective was test the impact two seasons, winter summer, on growth p...

Sebum production is thought to play a major role in acne vulgaris in adolescents. Psychological stress may exacerbate acne; however, it is not known whether the perceived association between stress and acne exacerbation is due to increased sebum production. The aims of this study were to determine: (i) if psychological stress in adolescents is associated with increased sebum production; and (ii...

to evaluate the effect of different levels of drought stress on some physiological parameters in strawberry, potted experiment involing strawberry cultivars  ‘marak٫ , ‘camarosa٫ and ‘gaviota٫ was conducted during summer 2009. the experiment consisted of three drought stress levels in three replications. the experimental arrangement was a factorial one, based upon a randomized complete block de...
