Summary:
Presents a series of experiments to show that surfaces exert forces. Defines the fundamental boundary conditions governing the effects of these forces. Includes illustrations of nucleation, "wine tears," swimming bubbles, and high speed pictures of the breakup of water sheets and soap films. HISTORICAL SUMMARY: Several experiments to demonstrate the forces that surface tension exerts in fluids. Three boundary conditions imposed surface tension.

Main contributors:
Schultz, Jane E.
Summary:
Lecture delivered by Jane E. Schultz, PhD (Professor of English and Medical Humanities at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis) on December 5, 2018 in conjunction with the National Library of Medicine's "Life and Limb" traveling exhibit hosted by the Ruth Lilly Medical Library. Presentation includes representation of surgeon-soldier interactions from surgical letters, diaries, and memoirs; what happens when language fails to summarize and describe, despite surgeons' fluency in the clinical register; and literary observations about historical narrative.

13476. Surplus and a hungry world (29:23)

Date:
1958
Summary:
“Trade is a two-way street. If you want to sell, you’ve got to buy,” says Ed Harvey in this program, after a discussion of international trade and the relation of surplus to tariff. A trip through Washington, D.C., and cartoon sequences of the surplus problem and the import-export balance are featured in the program.

13477. Surrounded (Peer Group Membership) (15:32)

Main contributors:
National Instructional Television
Summary:
Episode 5 from the AIT series On the Level. The series is designed to help young people understand what is happening to them as they grow up and to encourage their active participation in the hard work of adolescence-reaching maturity through social and personal growth. The twelve programs dramatize common teenage concerns like love, stress, conflict. and changing re­lationships with family and friends. The problem situations stimulate reflection and discussion about alternative courses of action for different individuals: the many approaches to problems, the many solutions.

13478. Survey Experiments: Testing Causality in Diverse Samples (2:45:52)

Summary:
Experimental designs remain the gold standard for assessing causality; perhaps because of this, the use of experiments has grown rapidly in most social science fields such as economics, political science, sociology, and others. While laboratory studies remain popular in some fields, there is increasing interest in bringing the power of experimental designs to more diverse samples. Survey experiments offer the capability to assess causality in a broad range of samples, including targeted samples of specific populations or in large-scale nationally representative samples. The rise of online workplaces and the TESS program offer the ability to bring these samples to applied researchers at a minimal cost, greatly expanding the possibilities for research. This workshop will focus on how to design quality survey experiments, giving researchers the tools to implement best practices. I will also advocate for survey experiments as a tool for tests of intersectionality and other theoretical questions requiring diverse samples.

Summary:
During the 2016 NSSE administration, thirty-seven institutions used their student portal or learning management system (SP/LMS) to supplement their student recruitment efforts. Please join Shimon for a free webinar to learn more about this recruitment approach, results suggesting it can increase response rates, and the steps to take in order to do something similar for your next NSSE administration.
