From various academic journals, here is a selection of scholarly articles researched and written by members of the Bates faculty and their students, plus an explanation of each paper’s meaning in easy-to-grasp language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: \u201cRecovery of the Biphasic Hypoxic Ventilatory Response in Neonatal Rats After Chronic Hyperoxia\u201d<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Publication<\/strong>: Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authors:<\/strong> Helen A. Papaioanou Professor of Biological Sciences Ryan Bavis and Bates student and alumni coauthors: Tanner Dirstine \u201916 2, Andrew D Lachance \u201817, Antonio Jareno \u201822, Maya Reynoso Williams \u201822<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What It Explains<\/strong>: How young mammals\u2019 breathing recovers after long exposure to an excess supply of oxygen. Greater understanding of decreased oxygen levels (hypoxia) and increased levels (hyperoxia) is vitally needed in neonatal care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: \u201c\u2018Auch bei uns im fernen Transsilvanien<\/em>\u2019: The Transylvanian Saxons and the Long Shadow of the Third Reich in the Work of Bettina Schuller\u201d<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Publication<\/strong>: Edinburgh German Yearbook 15<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Author<\/strong>: Associate Professor of German Raluca Cernahoschi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What It Explains<\/strong>: How a memoir about growing up in the 1930s and \u201940s in a Transylvanian Saxon enclave, in what is today Romania, sheds light on the relationship between the Third Reich and ethnic German groups in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: \u201cCannibal Nihilism: Meat and Meaninglessness in the Anthropocene Imaginary\u201d<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Publication<\/strong>: Science Fiction Studies<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author<\/strong>: Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Tyler Harper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What It Explains<\/strong>: How cannibalism, which frequently appears in environmentally oriented speculative fiction, is used for more than its shock value. Instead, it serves as a proxy for a more complex conversation about the very viability of political hope in a world defined by so many environmental crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: \u201cChemistry, Structure, and Function of Lone Pairs in Extended Solids\u201d<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Publication<\/strong>: Accounts of Chemical Research<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author:<\/strong> Assistant Professor Chemistry and Biochemistry Geneva Laurita and coauthor Sam Seshadri of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Santa Barbara<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What It Explains<\/strong>: How the familiar concept of the \u201clone pair,\u201d which refers to paired-up electrons within some molecules and materials, might have a more exciting role in designing new materials with practical applications in electronics, energy, and drug delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
