The model presented here appears to hold significant potential for the prediction of the carbon isotope signature of dietary protein using only such data as is routinely generated in the course of stable isotope analysis of human osseous remains. These predicted values are ideal for use in multisource mixture modeling of dietary protein source contribution.
Many constituencies of a college or university make contributions to student success and failure. Higher education research has focused on many contributors to college or university student success, including pre-college preparation, transition or orientation programs, academic rigor, and academic and social support systems to name a few. Our observation is that the potential impact of one group-faculty-on student success far outweighs all others. Because student success is ultimately determined by their persistence to graduation, and student mastery of academic content determines their persistence and graduation, and faculty determine the extent to which mastery of courses has occurred, faculty are vital to student success. The authors recommend action research as a tool for faculty to assess the extent of their impact on student success (i.e., learning, persistence, and graduation).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
