...Willis' study, which was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council and the European conservation charity RSFB, is a future projection of the effect of climate change on migratory birds, but it is already being felt today. In previous studies, Willis and his colleagues found that birds like the Dartford warbler - which generally breed in the warmer areas of Western Europe - are increasingly being spotted in Britain, even though the island was thought to be too cold for them. (The U.K. is blessed with an energetic corps of amateur ornithologists, which means scientists there have a wealth of data...

An application is required to enter the concentration; other requisites include an oral exam at the end of sophomore and senior year, a junior research essay, and a student bibliography of studied texts to be prepared at the end of sophomore, junior, and senior year.If you enjoy some adventure in your life, you’ll like the fact that Hist & Lit has a large degree of flexibility in designing an individual plan of study...
...recent research project by Ohio State University researcher Aryn Karpinski has reported a correlation between Facebook usage and grade point averages. Despite specializing in a relatively unrelated field of quantitative analysis, Karpinski was inspired to investigate the effects of the social networking site Facebook on the performance of college students. Karpinski analyzed extensive surveys of both a quantitative and qualitative nature from over 200 Ohio State students. Her data suggested a correlation between Facebook usage and lower GPAs among college students at Ohio State University. “Although this study has investigated an area totally outside of my realm...

The consolidation of services and collections across the science library services would facilitate interdisciplinary research and economize the purchasing, licensing, and processing of materials, according to Bloxham’s statement. But Brainard did not deny the possibility of cost-reduction measures. Given the current fiscal picture, the merging of the science libraries under one administrative umbrella is likely part of a concerted effort...
...Green, a senior research scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health, directed the Harvard AIDS Prevention Research Project and had worked and researched extensively on the HIV pandemic afflicting sub-Saharan Africa. And his conclusions, expressing agreement with Pope Benedict XVI—who, on his recent trip to the continent, had denied the panacean potential of prophylactics—provoked a miniature firestorm...
