Critical Fail: The Effects of Error Management Training on Critical Thinking
(University of the South, 2015-04-24)This research project looks at the effectiveness of error management training (EMT) on critical thinking skills. EMT is a technique that explicitly encourages learners to make errors under the assumption that students learn ... -
Vernal Pools IV: Effects of Depth and Temperature on Pelagic Community Composition
(University of the South, 2011-04-29)Vernal pools, in broad terms, are rain-fed wetlands that develop in shallow depressions over impervious surfaces (Keeley and Zelder 1998) and are a hot spot for invertebrate, salamander, and bird diversity (Scheffers, et ... -
Pharmaceuticals from Wastewater in Streams Draining a Forested Watershed on the Cumberland Plateau
(University of the South, 2011-04-29)Research has increasingly focused on the excretion of pharmaceuticals into the environment through wastewater effluent. Wastewater treatment at the Sewanee Utility District involves biodegradation of sewage passing through ... -
A Comparison of Pelagic Invertebrate Communities in Vernal Pools and Lakes Around Sewanee, Tennessee
(2010-04-15)Vernal pools are seasonally filled and therefore provide a predator free habitat for a diversity of invertebrates, such as salamanders and crustaceans that are normally consumed by fish in aquatic habitats such as lakes. ... -
Predicting Multiflora Rose Habitat on the Sewanee Domain
(University of the South, 2011-04-29)Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) is an invasive species on the Sewanee Domain; planted as a solution to soil erosion, as an ornamental plant, and to act as a “natural fence” (USNPS, 2010). It can replace original vegetation ... -

The Synthesis and Analysis of Metallic and Semiconducting Nanoparticles
(University of the South, 2011-04-29)Monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles were prepared using several different synthetic methods. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Bipyridine-Based Platinum (II) Mesogens
(2010-04-15)Platinum (II) diimine complexes display a wide array of interesting physical properties, including luminescence, photoredox chemistry, polymorphism and polychromism. By coupling these chromophores to Guerbet alcohols we ...
