The application of sandstone to reduce limestone armoring in acid mine drainage
(Wichita State University, 2018-05)Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a significant environmental problem in most countries that have an extensive history of mining. AMD refers to the acidic water that can be produced during hard and soft rock mining. Acidic ... -
The cage model of global learning
(EdItLib, 2004)Global learning is at the heart of the development of multiple perspectives from other cultures. Modern information and communication technologies facilitate the development of learning relationships that lead to multiple ... -
The imbalance of nature
(Springer Netherlands, 2005-12)It is a quiet spring evening by a lake in eastern Canada. The sun is disappearing behind the distant beech trees. The sound of Loons singing drifts across the water. There is a perfect scene of peace and tranquillity. With ... -
The impact of natural organic matter on the surface reactivity of goethite nanoparticles: exploring mineralorganic contact time, pH, and ionic strength
(Wichita State University, 2017-12)Hexavalent chromium, a toxic heavy metal generated by various industrial processes, can have dire consequences on groundwater resources. A potential low-cost and non-toxic remediation method is to use goethite nanoparticles, ... -
The investigation of possible stratospheric origin of ozone presence at the surface at night, using HYSPLIT trajectory analysis
(Wichita State University, 2021-05)IMPORTANCE: On August 2, 2012, high tropospheric ozone levels, above the EPA limit of 75 parts per billion by mass, were forecast for Wichita, Kansas. Trajectories for ozone transport were examined using two software ... -
Third Place Learning environments: Perspective sharing and perspective taking
(International Association of Online Engineering, 2009-11)In this paper we deliberate on intercultural and global communication strategies of perspective sharing and perspective taking, and potential perspective transformation. Consideration to these strategies is given within ... -
Third Place Learning: Reflective Inquiry into Intercultural and Global Cage Painting
(Information Age Publishing, 2012-12)The hybridity and dynamism of today 's interconnected, interdependent and culturally diverse world poses challenges and opportunities for learning and communication. This book introduces an approach to facilitate global ... -
Trace metal analysis of Little Arkansas River as urbanization increases nearing Wichita, KS
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2014-04-25)The Little Arkansas River originates in areas of high agriculture use and flows to areas of increasing population and urbanization. As the urbanization increases especially between Valley Center KS and Wichita KS the health ... -
Type section of the Kiowa formation age and environment(s) of deposition, Southern Kansas
(Wichita State University, 2018-05)The Type Section of the Kiowa crops out in southern Kansas (Kiowa County). Sedimentary, petrographic and paleontological analyses were conducted on outcrops in Kiowa County to determine environment of deposition and age ... -
Upper Jurassic microbolite buildups in the little cedar creek and Brooklyn fields in SW Alabama
(Wichita State University, 2014-05)This study investigates the stratal relationships of a pure microbolite within the Upper Jurassic strata at the Little Cedar Creek, and Brooklyn Fields, or complex, for the development of a refined exploration model of ... -
Upper Jurassic thrombolite reservoir play, northeastern Gulf of Mexico
(The American Association of Petroleum Geologists, 2004-11)In the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, Upper Jurassic Smackover inner ramp, shallow-water thrombolite buildups developed on paleotopographic features in the eastern part of the Mississippi Interior Salt basin and in the Manila ... -
Using chromate to investigate the impact of mineral-organic contact time on the surface reactivity of goethite
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-10-01)Chromate was used as a chemical probe to investigate the impact of mineral-organic contact time on the surface reactivity of two different sizes of goethite particles. A series of goethite-chromate sorption batch reactions ... -
Using chromate to investigate the impact of natural organics on the surface reactivity of nanoparticulate magnetite
(American Chemical Society, 2015-02-17)Chromate was used as a chemical probe to investigate the size-dependent influence of organics on nanoparticle surface reactivity. Magnetitechromate sorption experiments were conducted with similar to 90 and similar to 6 ... -
Using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) to assess the stratigraphic relationships of the middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring and Piper formations, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming and Montana
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)Chemostratigraphy via X-ray fluorescence measures the shifts in elemental properties within a given section of strata. It has proven to be a successful tool in both correlation and paleo-environment reconstruction. Recently, ... -
