College Belonging: How First-Year and First-Generation Students Navigate Campus Life [Review]
No full textFostering a sense of belonging for students has long been considered a crucial component of retention and success for colleges and universities. However, there is no universal definition of what "belonging" actually is. In College Belonging: How First-Year and First-Generation Students Navitage Campus Life, Lisa M. Nunn (2021) delves into what it means for college students "to belong." Through student interviews during their first two years of college, Nunn explores how students define and experience belonging; in doing so, creating a new perspective on what belonging is and how students achieve (or are gifted) belonging.Johnson, C., & Gansemer-Topf, A.

RIBFIND: a web server for identifying rigid bodies in protein structures and to aid flexible fitting into cryo EM maps
No full textMotivation: To better analyze low-resolution cryo electron microscopy maps of macromolecular assemblies, component atomic structures frequently have to be flexibly fitted into them. Reaching an optimal fit and preventing the fitting process from getting trapped in local minima can be significantly improved by identifying appropriate rigid bodies in the fitted component.
Results: Here we present the RIBFIND server, a tool for identifying rigid bodies in protein structures. The server identifies rigid bodies in proteins by calculating spatial proximity between their secondary structural elements.
Availability: The RIBFIND web server and its standalone program are available at http://ribfind.ismb.lon.ac.uk
Fe2O3/NGr@C- and Co–Co3O4/NGr@C-catalysed hydrogenation of nitroarenes under mild conditions
No full textAn improved hydrogenation of nitroarenes using nano-structured iron- and cobalt-based catalysts is
presented. Modifications of the heterogeneous catalysts by N-doped graphene-flakes are crucial for the
success of selective reductions. The use of polar solvents and basic additives has a significant positive influence
on the rate of reduction of nitroarenes. This allows performing non-noble metal-catalysed hydrogenations
under very mild reaction conditions (e.g. 70 °C and 20 bar). On the basis of the obtained catalytic
results a heterolytic mechanism for the hydrogenation process is postulated, to
Military-Connected Student Academic Success at 4-Year Institutions: A Multi-Institution Study
No full textWe examined how the experiences—academic, financial, social, and personal—and relationship factors of military-connected students attending a 4-year institution are associated with their academic success. This multi-institution study highlights the demographic characteristics, experiences, and campus relationships that are associated with military-connected students’ GPA.This article is published as Williams-Klotz, Denise N. & Gansemer-Topf, Ann M.2017 "Military-Connected Student Academic Success at 4-Year Institutions: A Multi-Institution Study."

Identifying the Camouflage: Uncovering and Supporting the Transition Experiences of Military and Veteran Students
No full textThis study summarizes the qualitative findings from a multi-institutional study about the college transition experiences of military and veteran students, specifically students’ articulation of their needs. Findings reveal (a) a lack of in-processing, (b) need for community, and (c) institutional invisibility. Using the Student Veteran Transition Model developed by Livingston, Havice, Cawthon, and Flemming (2011) as a guide, four recommendations for institutional practice are provided.This accepted article is published as Williams-Klotz, D.

Values, Contexts, and Realities: Senior Student Affairs Officers’ Decision-Making During the COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textSenior Student Affairs Officers (SSAOs), whose primary responsibility is the health, safety, and well-being of students, were at the forefront of leading their campuses through the COVID-19 crisis. In Fall 2020 a diverse group of 23 SSAOs was interviewed to understand the contexts and issues that influenced decision-making during the pandemic. A focus on students, alignment with institutional contexts, and financial realities were consistently identified as key influencers of decision-making. Effective decision-making often entails a balancing act of several factors. The implications of this study can be used to inform student affairs practice and the professional development of graduate students and future and current SSAOs.This accepted article is published as Gansemer-Topf, A.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
