Published: March 2011

The Devils Lake Emergency Outlet Diversion conflict is systematically studied from a strategic viewpoint using the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution in order to obtain insights about the resolution of this nagging international dispute. By modelling the conflict for the situation existing as of July 2005, just before the project began operation, the dispute is put into proper perspective and, subsequently, a stability analysis is carried out to obtain potential resolutions or equilibria. The results of a sensitivity analysis accurately predict the deal which actually took place when Canada and the American state of North Dakota reached a negotiated settlement. Finally, suggestions are put forward for improving the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 between Canada and the United States.

Physiology concepts, such as acid-base balance, may be difficult for students to understand. Systems modeling, a cognitive tool, allows students to visualize their mental model of the problem space to enhance learning and retention. We performed a within-subjects three-period randomized control comparison of systems modeling versus written discussion activities in an undergraduate asynchronous online Anatomy and Physiology II course.

A well-developed mental model is crucial for effectively studying physiology core concepts. However, mental models can be difficult for students to represent and for instructors to evaluate and correct. Systems modeling as a visualization cognitive tool may facilitate mental model development.

Article Synopsis
  • Microbes and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) can move between different environments on dairy farms, but the implications of this transfer are not fully understood.
  • Researchers studied manure from dairy cows, examining its journey from fresh manure to manure pits and then to field soil across 15 farms.
  • Their findings showed that the composition of microbes changed significantly when manure was stored, but there was no evidence of ARG transfer to field soil, indicating that soil microbes remained stable despite the introduction of manure.
