Environmental justice teaching in an undergraduate context: examining the intersection of community-engaged, inclusive, and anti-racist pedagogy by Rabe, Christopher

“…Using a multi-case study design, primary findings showed that faculty members held activist course objectives, which led to distinct community-engaged practices, such as the invitation of diverse guest educators, inclusion of readings from diverse authors, field experiences with EJ communities, and the integration of alternative ways of knowing that resist Eurocentric biases. …”

Blocking of counter-partisan accounts drives political assortment on Twitter by Martel, Cameron, Mosleh, Mohsen, Yang, Qi, Zaman, Tauhid, Rand, David G

“…Here, we demonstrate an additional factor beyond homophily driving assorted networks: preferential prevention of social ties. In two field experiments on Twitter, we created human-looking bot accounts that identified as Democrats or Republicans, and then randomly assigned users to be followed by one of these accounts. …”

Integrating quantitative and qualitative methodologies to build a national R&D plan using data envelopment analysis based on R&D stakeholders’ perspectives by Park, Wan, Kim, Sang-Gook

“…To be specific, our study is to provide the quantitative approach in making decision among policymakers by reflecting the field experiences and opinions. We use a data envelopment analysis with an assurance region model, which integrates an analytic hierarchy process and a data envelopment analysis. …”

Optimal selection of elevation-dependent stochastic models for real-time PPP with GPS/Galileo/BDS by Liu, Peng, Ling, Keck Voon, Qin, Honglei, Jiang, Xue, Lu, Jun

“…The mean convergence time reduces by 51.21% and 25.80%, and the stability of convergence increases by 33.78% and 7.29%, compared with the worst stochastic model in real-time static and simulated kinematic PPP. Finally, the field experiments verified that the sine stochastic model matches best with updated SSR corrections from Centre National d′études Spatiales (CNES) for real-time PPP.…”

Exploring connections between seagrass ecosystem services and meadow hydrodynamics by Schaefer, Rachel

“…Meanwhile, the measured effects of reconfiguration on plant-generated turbulence were used to propose a hybrid analytical model for predicting the turbulence to account for the relative contributions of waves and currents. Second, field experiments were performed in three Massachusetts, USA seagrass meadows to relate spatial patterns in hydrodynamics with spatial patterns in sediment organic carbon. …”

Effect of surface albedo of urban fabrics on urban climate in tropical area by Long, Yongping

“…This study investigated the potential impacts of cool coatings on urban climate through both field experiments and numerical simulations. The mesoscale Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations validated the assumption that the heat absorption during daytime by urban structures and heat release during night-time is the main contributor to the UHI formation in Singapore. …”
