are moving along and keeping his or her ear on the ground for you. And so, it’s not just, oh, how were your holidays? Oh, did you get that new computer? And that’s good. But there should be an explicit focus on advancement and promotion and how to make that happen. (R29)The sentiment that promotion and tenure standards had changed and that junior faculty were notreceiving adequate mentoring to help them be successful was shared by other respondents. 10Respondent 25 was concerned about inequities in promotion and tenure processes, includingshifting standards within the department and the lack of mentoring

an individual high school (peerSES) is related to the percentage of students not eligible for free lunch in a state in which thehigh school is located (state SES), we control for state influences by subtracting state SES frompeer SES. The new variable is called relative peer SES, which measures the gap between thepoverty status of a high school and that of a state where the high school is located. To illustrate, apositive relative peer SES score indicates that a student came from a high school withsocioeconomic status above the state level. Peer SES scores are available in MIDFIELD, whilestate SES scores are drawn from NCES Common Core of Data29. Computing relative peer SESin this way focuses our attention on to what extent each state

on refrigerant properties as seen in Figure . [2a] Mark all state-points betweeneach of the components. To understand the influence of the heat exchangers, it is useful to [2b]superimpose the inlet temperature of the non-refrigerant fluid on this plot. Having bothtemperatures on the same plot, illuminates the temperature difference between the fluids which isrelated to the heat transfer surface area through the conductance form of the heat transferequation (see Equations 17 and 23). The pressure versus specific enthalpy diagram is useful inillustrating how each of the components of the system performs. After learning the paths forisothermal processes and isentropic processes it is easy to see how far from ideal each of thecomponents performs

as strong ties to faculty and other students, tutoring, availability of numerousstudent clubs, and living/learning communities10,11,12.Still, a large body of research has shown that women who choose to major in engineering uponstarting college tend to graduate at rates similar or higher to those of their male counterparts16,17.Multiple studies, such as Consentino et al.18 and Lord et al.17 found that retention is not theprimary reason for the low percentage of women in engineering, but rather, recruitment. That is,when women enter college intending to study engineering, they usually do eventually graduatewith an engineering degree and don’t transfer to a non-engineering field. However, very fewfemale high school seniors do in fact choose

Inacademia, students and professors alike struggle with their mental health and well-being. Facultyat all levels must balance many roles and responsibilities such as teaching, mentorship, researchand administrative tasks. Similarly, graduate students must complete course and/or laboratorywork, teaching or research assistantships, secure funding to cover costs of tuition, write andpublish papers, attend meetings, and complete administrative tasks. Notably, graduate studentsexperience rates of depression and anxiety at rates six times higher than the general population[26]. Research

The 91 tracts were based on TheProtocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, an acknowledged forgery that details the Jews‘ plans forworld domination.28To ensure wide dissemination, Ford employees tucked copies of the newspaper in the glove boxof each new vehicle as it rolled off the assembly line.29 Eventually, the articles wereanthologized in four volumes as The International Jew, allowing some two million readers30 aglimpse of Ford‘s peculiar view of history as driven by fanatical Zionists.28The International Jew made its way to Germany in the early
