Rudy Nydegger, associate
professor of psychology, presented a paper “Violence, Aggression, and
Passive-Aggression in the Workplace: An International Problem,” at
the International Conference on Applied Business Research in Puerto
Vallarta, Mexico.
Robert L. Fleischer, research
professor of geology, recently gave a talk, “Tracks to Innovation –
Interplay Between the Science and Technology of Etched Nuclear
Tracks,” at the Materials Science/Solid Mechanics Seminar Series at
Brown University. The talk described how nuclear particles create
radiation-damage tracks that can be made visible in solids by chemical
etching. These tracks have many uses, including radon measurements in
homes and earthquake zones, preparation of biological filters, and oil
exploration.
