CHANGING TEACHING TECHNIQUES AND ADAPTING NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING IN AN INTRODUCTORY METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATE COURSE

Changing teaching techniques and adapting new technologies to improve student learning in an introductory meteorology and climate course

Responding to the call for reform in science education, changes were made in an introductory meteorology and climate course offered at a large public university.These changes were a part of a larger FIXED BLADE - CLOSEOUT project aimed at deepening and extending a program of science content courses that model effective teaching strategies for prosp

Aromatic inhibitors derived from ammonia-pretreated lignocellulose hinder bacterial ethanologenesis by activating regulatory circuits controlling inhibitor efflux and detoxification

Efficient microbial conversion of lignocellulosic hydrolysates to biofuels is a key barrier to the economically viable deployment of lignocellulosic biofuels.A chief contributor to this barrier is the impact on microbial processes and energy metabolism of lignocellulose-derived inhibitors, including phenolic carboxylates, phenolic amides (for ammon
