Ichishkíin Sinwit Yakama / Yakima Sahaptin Dictionary: Audio Files
Virginia Beavert & Sharon Hargus
Sahaptin, or Ichishkíin Sínwit (literally, "this language"), is a Plateau Penutian language spoken in south-central Washington and northern Oregon. This dictionary documents the dialect of Sahaptin that is spoken by the Yakama people. Ichishkíin Sínwit Yakama / Yakima Sahaptin Dictionary is the first modern published dictionary of any Sahaptin dialect.
The dictionary is divided into three sections: a Sahaptin-English section; an English-Sahaptin section; and a section listing roots used in the formation of Sahaptin words....

Siderophore concentrations along the North Pacific Gradients 1.0 and 2.0 cruises transect
Jiwoon Park & Randelle Bundy
This dataset includes concentrations of siderophores (strong iron-binding ligands) measured from seawater samples taken during Gradients 1.0 (KOK1606) and 2.0 (MGL1704) cruises, which took place in April-May 2016 and May-June 2017 respectively. Concentrations were measured using a Thermo iCAP RQ ICP-MS coupled to a Dionex Ultimate 3000 HPLC.
Manipulating Elastic Waves in Topological Mechanical Metamaterials
Rajesh Chanusali
Due to the recent discovery of topological insulators in condensed matter physics, a new notion of topology has emerged in association with the intrinsic dispersion behavior of a structure. In this work, we have taken this notion of topology and have shown some novel wave manipulation capabilities in one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) elastic systems. In particular, we have taken four different type of elastic systems. First, a 1D elastic system made of a...
Governing Water in India
Leela Fernandes
Intensifying droughts and competing pressures on water resources foreground water scarcity as an urgent concern of the global climate change crisis. In India, individual, industrial, and agricultural water demands exacerbate inequities of access and expose the failures of state governance to regulate use. State policies and institutions influenced by global models of reform produce and magnify socio-economic injustice in this "water bureaucracy."
Drawing on historical records, an analysis of post-liberalization developments, and fieldwork in the...
