This presentation contains information about the project "The future of transportation... and how we'll pay for it" by Joseph L. Schofer, Department f Civil & Environmental Engineering. The presentation was delivered at the 40th Anniversary Seminar Day at Northwestern University on April 18, 2009.
This presentation contains information on the keynote paper "Health Monitoring of Early Age Concrete". The presentation was delivered by Surendra P. Shah at CONSEC'04 in Seoul, Korea on June 30, 2004.
This technical report shows the findings of acoustic emission and strain gage monitoring tests conducted by research engineers of Infrastructure Technology Institute from Northwestern University on April 18, 1997 in Sacramento, California.
In 2008, the term "remix culture" is widely understood to refer to mash-up videos and movie parodies, distributed on websites such as YouTube and authored primarily by white male teenagers. This dissertation argues that digital remix was invented primarily by African American men, who, in the mid-1980s, began using digital...
The optical and magneto-optical properties of the ferromagnetic semiconductors, InMnAs and its alloy InMnAsP were investigated to determine the band structure and nature of the ferromagnetism in these materials. Alloys were grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. Infrared absorption of InMnAs was investigated to determine the presence and properties of...

Pollination is a reproductive necessity in the majority of the world’s flowering plants. Pollen limitation threatens plant reproduction, particularly in self-incompatible species. Although assessing pollen limitation usually requires pollen supplementation experiments, alternative methods support the findings of traditional pollen supplementation experiments.
Two experiments were conducted to assess the germination, growth, and survival of Cirsium pitcheri Torr. ex Eaton T & G in the Chicagoland region. The first experiment involved growing seeds from various native populations to determine tolerance for the current Chicagoland climate. The second experiment tested three of the populations...
Hybridization is an important evolutionary pathway to genetic diversity, fitness, and ultimately to the emergence of new species. In contrast, hybridization between a native and an introduced species can lead to a loss of locally adapted gene complexes and ultimately to the extinction of the native. In the last decade,...
