Motivated supervision increases motivation when writing a thesis, study finds
Students working on their Bachelor's or Master's thesis usually have supervisors at their side who guide, accompany and possibly also correct them during this time. If students have the impression that their supervisor is passionate and motivated, th.....»»
Recyclable reagent and sunlight convert carbon monoxide into methanol
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (UNC) have demonstrated the selective conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into methanol using a cascade reaction strate.....»»
Investigating variation of fine root vessel traits in topological order within and across tropical tree species
Anatomical and hydraulic traits can indirectly and directly measure the transport capacity of a root, respectively. Exploring variation in root traits along topological orders within species is key to understanding functional shifts along root archit.....»»
