Interracial Contact Effects on Racial Prejudice among Students at Selective Colleges and Universities
This dissertation examined interracial contact and racial prejudice among white, black, Asian, and Latino college students at 28 elite colleges and universities in the United States. The study used longitudinal analyses to identify how interracial contact among college students influenced students' …

The Moderating Effect of Intergroup Climate on the Prejudice-Reducing Effects of Intergroup Contact
Drawing upon intergroup contact theory (Allport, 1954; Pettigrew 1998) and the emerging literature on intergroup climate (e.g., Christ et al., 2013, 2014), I utilised various antipathetic intergroup relationships (e.g., Black people vs. White people; non-Muslims vs. Muslims), and various models of …

Modeling, Identification and Simulation of Dynamics of Structures With Joints and Interfaces
… is also developed. Here, segment-to-segment contact (SSC) is considered, and contact effects are accounted for along continuous edges of the elements. Thus, micro-scale stick-slip behavior along the joint interfaces can be captured even with a relatively coarse mesh. Numerical examples …

Attitudes Toward Immigrants as a Function of National Identity Distinctiveness Threat and Imagined Contact
… Researchers have shown that intergroup contact has been effective in improving outgroup attitudes by reducing intergroup anxiety. However, with increasing polarization, more recent research has indicated that contact interventions may not be effective in all cases. Given research …

Differential object marking in Basque: grammaticalization, attitudes and ideological representations
… has been paid to the role that language contact plays in the emergence of DOM or the processes that lead to its variable use in contact settings. Basque DOM has recently been characterized as the product of intense contact with Basque-Spanish leísmo (Austin, 2006), but its variable use …

Studies of thermal and transport properties of the isostructural family of rubidium silver iodide
… crystals grown from solution. Diffused silver contacts were used as electrodes, considerably minimizing contact effects. It was found that Cp and dR/dT exhibit very similar critical behavior near the corresponding critical points for each of the compounds, i.e., Tc = 208'.8°K, 198.7°K and …

semiconducting carbon nanotube transistors: electron and spin transport properties
… SWNTs prepared by chemical vapor deposition and contacted by metal electrodes. A SWNT field-effect transistor (SWNT-FET) has been shown to be sensitive to single electrons in charge traps. A single charge trap near a SWNT-FET is explored here using both electronic and scanned-probe techniques, …

Spanish and Greek subjects in contact: Greek as a heritage language in Chile
… Baldo 2009). The key question as to the language-contact effects on subject distribution in pairs of two null subject languages requires further exploration while the combination of Greek and Spanish has been so far understudied. The IH is evaluated with new empirical data from a bilingual …

Petrologic and Fluid Inclusion Constraints on the Tectonic Evolution of the Manhattan Prong, Southeastern New York
… 100 million years, have superimposed contact aureoles on the Taconic regional metamorphic gradient in the northeastern Manhattan Prong and have modified the regional assemblage to different degrees. The assemblage Sil-Bt-Grt-Qtz-Pl+Ksp+Ms in regionally metamorphosed Manhattan Schist …
