Initial Results

Engaging in ongoing assessment is key to libraries demonstrating their value to their institutions. This study is an initial step in a STEM library’s long-term goal of measuring the library’s connection to, and impact on, student academic success markers such as retention and persistence. Initial results showed that any library usage was always accompanied by a slightly higher achievement in GPA for the user. Results will serve as benchmarks for further study.

ABSTRACTThe interface between Hg1-xCdxTe(0 ≦ x ≦ 1) and Hg1-yCdyTe(0 ≦ y ≦ 1) epitaxial layers of different composition (x ≠ y) is unstable with regard to the intermixing of the Hg and Cd cations within the Group II sublattice. This phenomenon may give rise to long-term stability problems in HgTe-(Hg,Cd)Te superlattices and composition grading between (Hg,Cd)Te absorber layers and CdTe buffer or passivation layers in epitaxial infra red detectors. In this paper, a novel approach to the inhibition of interdiffusion in these systems is discussed. This involves the growth of an intervening ZnTe barrier layer at the heterointerface between two (Hg,Cd)Te layers. Initial results are presented which indicate the effectiveness of this technique in reducing interdiffusion in an experimental heterostructure grown by MOVPE. Some possible applications in a variety of HgTe-based long wavelength devices are discussed.

The Capital Market

Capital markets are often interpreted as a market for a long-term financial instrument (securities) (its maturity is more than 1 year). In addition to that understanding, the capital market is also often associated as a place for the transaction of the party that needs funds (the company) and the Excess party (financier). The initial step of Sharia capital market developments in Indonesia began with the issuance of sharia funds on 25 June 1997 followed by the issuance of sharia bonds at the end of 2002, followed by the presence of the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) in July 2000. The marketable securities traded on the stock exchange include stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Marketable securities are often referred to as ' financial instruments ' or ' securities ' or ' Sekuritas ' (Securities Act No. 8 year 1995 defines the capital market as "the activities concerned with public offerings and securities trading, public companies relating to securities, published, as well as institutions and professions relating to the securities". The capital market acts as a liaison between investors and companies or government institutions through the long-term trading of financial instruments. In an effort to support the realization of the Indonesian capital market to become a resilient and global economic driver of the national economy as stated in the Indonesian capital market blueprint, it needs to be done continuously to improve and expand the capital market infrastructure towards the better direction.

Beginning in the summer of 2015, research was conducted on protective wood coatings and accelerated weathering testing methods for architectural log and timber. A rack for supplementary natural weathering testing of hydrophobic and ultraviolet protective surface treatments for logs was also erected as a subsequent phase at Grand Teton National Park. This laboratory and field research is part of an ongoing project to develop an appropriate treatment for historic log structures in the region that will preserve their original fabric while maintaining the intended historic appearance of the buildings, i.e., unpainted. The weathering rack will be in place for upwards of five years to verify the lab-based results from Phase I and to determine the long-term durability of the chosen treatments on already aged materials in situ. This report addresses the methods and materials for preparation of the weathering rack and samples as well as the methods being used to monitor their progress and initial results. Readings will be taken yearly to monitor the effects of weathering on each treatment.

Successful Students

Past research on academic success emphasizes the need to avoid pleasurable nonacademic activities. In the context of enjoying big-time collegiate sports, we examined the notion that students, especially academically successful ones, may strategically indulge in sports games to resolve the conflict with academic pursuit. After confirming that high- (vs. low-) grade point average (GPA) students indeed found game-related activities less disruptive ( Npilot = 325), we proceeded to study whether strategic indulgence or single-minded avoidance was their preferred means to resolve the game–study conflict. High- (vs. low-) GPA students exhibited three features of strategic indulgence. They were more sensitive to the goodness of the opportunity to partake in collegiate sports ( NStudy1 = 216), engaged in compensatory planning to study on nongame days ( NSudy2 = 409), and actively engaged and enjoyed the game-related activities ( Nstudy3 = 530). These results suggest that understanding strategic indulgence in tempting activities would enrich our knowledge of long-term goal pursuit.
