Research questions: Do students face pressure to choose certain racial identities in different social spheres on campus? What identities are selected in what situations? What struggles are faced by those of more than one race on Northwestern’s campus? What privileges are associated with being a multi-racial student at Northwestern University?...
Which areas of Chicago have greater concentrations of lead in their water and is that associated with environmental racism? Since Chicago is racially segregated, the marginalized areas such as the south side and west side are more likely to contain high levels of lead.
Neuroscience research has made many important contributions to the study of the brain and behavior. Perhaps because of these contributions the general public seems to be easily seduced by neuroscientific explanations. Meaning that when a scientific article is paired with a brain image, the information within the article is automatically...
The Center for Advanced Cement-Based Materials (ACBM) is a consortium of researchers from: Northwestern University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Purdue University, The University of Michigan, and The National Institute of Standards and Technology. This ACBM update contains information on the article "A better Maturity Meter?" by Surendra P. Shah...
In this paper, the correlation of reflection loss measured by an ultrasonic shear wave reflection
method and the microstructure in cement-based material is investigated. Three cement pastes
(Portland cement type I) with different water-cement ratios (0.35, 0.50 and 0.60) cured at 25
°C were examined. The ultrasonic shear wave reflection...
