Title: Advancing Spectrokinetics in Heterogeneous Catalysis: From Bulk to Surface Species and Beyond
This work proves the feasibility of utilizing steady state and transient in situ/operando spectroscopy to extract mechanistic information that reduces and leads to robust kinetic models. It also opens new avenues to explore kinetics and mechanisms with charge transfer data in heterogeneous catalysis.  more » « less

    To succeed in engineering careers, students must be able to create and apply models to certain problems. The different types of modeling skills include physical, mathematical, computational, graphing, and financial. However, many students struggle to define and form relevant models in their engineering courses. We are hoping that the students are able to better define and apply models in their engineering courses after they have completed the MATLAB and/or CATIA courses. We also are hoping to see a difference in model identification between the MATLAB and CATIA courses. All students in the MATLAB and CATIA courses must be able to understand and create models in order to solve problems and think critically in engineering. Students need foundational knowledge about basic modeling skills that will be effective in their course. The goal is for students to create an approach to help them solve problems logically and apply different modeling skills.

  3. ; (, NMR in Biomedicine)
    Metabolomics aims to achieve a global quantitation of the pool of metabolites within a biological system. Importantly, metabolite concentrations serve as a sensitive marker of both genomic and phenotypic changes in response to internal and external stimuli. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy greatly aids in the understanding of both in vitro and in vivo physiological systems and in the identification of diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers. Accordingly, NMR is widely utilized in metabolomics and fluxomics studies due to its limited requirements for sample preparation and chromatography, its non-destructive and quantitative nature, its utility in the structural elucidation of unknown compounds, and, importantly, its versatility in the analysis of in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo samples. This review provides an overview of the strengths and limitations of in vitro and in vivo experiments for translational research and discusses how ex vivo studies may overcome these weaknesses to facilitate the extrapolation of in vitro insights to an in-vivo system. The application of NMR-based metabolomics to ex vivo samples, tissues and biofluids, can provide essential information that is close to a living system (in vivo) with the sensitivity and resolution comparable to in vitro studies. The success of this extrapolation process is critically dependent on high-quality and reproducible data. Thus, the incorporation of robust quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) checks into the experimental design and execution of NMR-based metabolomics experiments will ensure the successful extrapolation of ex vivo studies to benefit translational medicine.

  4. (, Berkeley journal of criminal law)
    null (Ed.)
    Frank Zimring and Gordon Hawkins’s 1991 book, The Scale of Imprisonment, was a pioneering intellectual effort to explain what was then just coming into view to social scientists and legal scholars: the massive growth and transformation of American criminal justice, particularly as manifested in what soon came to be called mass incarceration. Zimring and Hawkins endeavored to disentangle multiple forces in play, ranging from formal law, to local and regional legal norms, to a series of broader social and political transformations. In doing so, Zimring and Hawkins set out to disentangle the complex, multi-jurisdictional political and legal structures that govern imprisonment policy in the U.S. In this Article, I apply their insights about locale-based variations in criminal justice operations over time to the case of federal sentencing. Specifically, I empirically examine variations in how the “criminal history” provision of the federal sentencing guidelines is applied as a function of both time and place to demonstrate the limits of formal law in accounting for punishment outcomes. In doing so, I hope to shed additional light on how vast differences in legal practices and outcomes are produced, especially in response to top-down legal change.

  5. ; (, Association for Science Teacher Education conference, January 2024)
    Building on the literature, we designed a practical framework to support attention to equity and justice in science teacher education coursework. This framework presents four approaches for including justice moves in elementary science lessons, from increasing opportunity and access in science, to increasing identity and representation in science, to expanding what counts as science, to seeing science as a part of justice movements. We analyzed the lesson plans of 16 preservice elementary teachers who were using the practical justice framework. In addition to extensive attention to varying participation structures to support children’s science discourse, preservice teachers also took up more challenging moves such as attending to how children are positioned as scientists, inviting children’s science ideas and hearing the science in their ideas, encouraging decision-making in science practices, and connecting science to issues of justice. They varied in both the number of unique justice moves they took up and the specificity with which they planned for incorporating the moves. We discuss implications for practice and theory-building in relation to supporting preservice teachers in learning to teach science toward equity and justice.
