Getting Back on Track to Being Human
(2017-05-02)
Cooperation and compassion are forms of intelligence. Their lack is an indication of ongoing stress or toxic stress during development that undermined the usual growth of compassion capacities. Though it is hard to face ...
IMPORTANCE OF PORE SIZE FOR EFFECTIVE DENSITY OF SHALE GAS
(2017-05-12)
The proper development of any natural gas reservoir depends on knowing several key factors; perhaps the most important of these factors is the volume of gas-in-place of a reservoir at a given pressure. Gas-in-place ...
Cross-National Lesson-Drawing: International Influences on Domestic Policymaking in the United States
(2017-12)
In an increasingly internationalized policy environment, determinants of U.S. domestic policy may include factors that are global in reach and external to the macro-level domestic political setting. The changing context ...
Facebook as a Tool in Mvskoke Language Learning and Use
(2017-05-12)
This paper explores and discusses the various factors in which Indigenous language learners obtain and interact with their heritage language. Specifically, the role of Facebook in language learning and use is analyzed. The ...

(2017-03-13)
This paper aims to explore the relationship between entrepreneurship and resilience in an indigenous context. The overarching research questions are: What are the mechanisms that link entrepreneurial thought and action to ...
TRIAXIAL AND INJECTION EXPERIMENTS ON ROCKS AND THEIR IMPACT ON PERMEABILITY AND ACOUSTIC EMISSIONS
(2017-05-12)
Understanding the various micromechanical processes that occur in a rock under in-situ stress conditions has been a major imperative of rock mechanics. Some of the applications of rock mechanics include the science of ...
Effect of Alignment on Thermal Conductivity Enhancement of Polyethylene/Graphene Nanoplatelet Composite Materials
(2017-05)
Polymers offer several advantages such as low cost, light weight, corrosion resistance and ease of processing, however, they have much lower intrinsic thermal conductivity (<0.5 W/mK) compared to metals (> 20 W/mK) which ...
Adsorption Characteristics of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on Zwitterionic Functionalized Alumina: A Molecular Dynamics Study
(2017-05)
A classical molecular dynamics simulation was conducted in order to determine the extent of surfactant adsorption on zwitterionic functionalized Al2O3. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was used as a model anionic surfactant, and ...
