Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.5K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Non-nuclear Inheritance01:29

Non-nuclear Inheritance

22.1K
Most DNA resides in the nucleus of a cell. However, some organelles in the cell cytoplasm⁠—such as chloroplasts and mitochondria⁠—also have their own DNA. These organelles replicate their DNA independently of the nuclear DNA of the cell in which they reside. Non-nuclear inheritance describes the inheritance of genes from structures other than the nucleus.

Retrieval01:12

Retrieval

238
Retrieval is the process of getting information out of memory storage and back into conscious awareness. This ability is essential for daily tasks like brushing hair and teeth, driving to work, and performing job duties. Retrieval occurs in three ways: recall, recognition, and relearning.
Recall involves accessing information without cues, such as during an essay test, where individuals must retrieve facts and concepts from memory unaided. Another example is remembering the name of a colleague...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

216
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving01:17

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

356
Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Major Losses in Pipes01:28

Major Losses in Pipes

1.5K
When a fluid flows through a pipe, it experiences energy losses due to frictional resistance along the pipe walls, known as major losses. These energy losses result in a pressure drop, which varies based on the flow conditions — whether laminar or turbulent — and the specific physical properties of the fluid and pipe.
Fluid flow can be classified as laminar or turbulent, primarily based on the Reynolds number. This dimensionless number reflects the relative influence of inertial to viscous...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Disaster Response

Background:

  • The Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone necessitated data consolidation for public health and familial needs.
  • The Sierra Leone Ebola Database (SLED) was established by the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS) and CDC.
  • Key objectives included grave identification and epidemiological research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development, functioning, and outcomes of the SLED Family Reunification Program.
  • To detail the methodology and tools used in the program's implementation.
  • To highlight the program's success in reuniting families with burial sites.

Main Methods:

  • Collaboration between MoHS, CDC, SLED Team, and Concern Worldwide.
  • Development and testing of specific program methodologies and tools.
  • Training of family liaisons on protecting personally identifiable information.

Main Results:

  • The program successfully reunites families with the graves of loved ones lost during the Ebola epidemic.
  • Provides emotional relief and closure to families seeking burial locations.
  • Demonstrates the ongoing need for such services five years post-epidemic.

Conclusions:

  • The emotional impact of not knowing a loved one's burial place persists long after a crisis.
  • The Family Reunification Program offers a vital service for closure and remembrance.
  • The program's model is adaptable for future emergencies, including COVID-19 and new Ebola outbreaks.
