The Effects of Face Coverings on Perceived Exertion and Attention Allocation during a Stepping Task
(2022)The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire world from lockdowns to various recom-mended restrictions including social distancing and wearing face coverings. In a safe environment, cardiovascular exercise is important ... -
Well-Tempered Metadynamics Simulations Predict the Structural and Dynamic Properties of a Chiral 24-Atom Macrocycle in Solution
(2022)Inspired by therapeutic potential, the molecular engineering of macrocycles is garnering increased interest. Exercising control with design, however, is challenging due to the dynamic behavior that these molecules must ... -
Citizen Science Helps Uncover the Secrets to a Bat-Friendly Swimming Pool in an Urban Environment
(2022)For urban environments to support bat communities, resources need to be readily available. For example, bats typically use urban water sources such as drainage ditches and ponds; however, these sources can be ephemeral. ... -
Broader and safer clinically-relevant activities of pentadecanoic acid compared to omega-3: Evaluation of an emerging essential fatty acid across twelve primary human cell-based disease systems
(2022)A growing body of evidence supports that pentadecanoic acid (C15:0), an odd-chain saturated fat found in butter, is an essential fatty acid that is necessary in the diet to support long-term metabolic and heart health. ... -
Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial comparing two linkage models for HIV prevention and treatment in justice-involved persons
(2022)Background: Persons involved in the justice system are at high risk for HIV and drug overdose upon release to the community. This manuscript describes a randomized controlled trial of two evidence-based linkage interventions ... -
Peppermint oil effects on the gut microbiome in children with functional abdominal pain
(2022)Peppermint oil (PMO) is effective in the treatment of functional abdominal pain disorders, but its mechanism of action is unclear. Evidence suggests PMO has microbicidal activity. We investigated the effect of three different ... -
Sex and limb comparisons of neuromuscular function in the morning versus the evening
(2022)The time-of-day influence on neuromuscular function is well-documented, but important details remain elusive. It is currently unknown whether males and females differ in their diurnal variation for optimal neuromuscular ... -
Partner perception of affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions to voice use in people with Parkinson's disease
(2022)Introduction: People with Parkinson's disease (PWPD) experience negative feelings, thoughts, and coping behaviors due to the experienced communication challenges. This study aimed to compare the perceptions of PWPD with ... -
Enacting Economic Resilience: A Synthesis of Economic and Communication Frameworks
(2022)This work examines three frameworks for responding to economic disruption: risk mit-igation, systemic recovery, and economic resilience. Specifically, by reviewing the metatheoretical commitments, analytic contexts, and ... -
An In-Depth Review on Blockchain Simulators for IoT Environments
(2022)Simulating blockchain technology within the IoT has never been as important. Along with this comes the need to find suitable blockchain simulators capable of simulating blockchain networks within an IoT environment. Despite ... -
Mixed Convection Flow over an Elastic, Porous Surface with Viscous Dissipation: A Robust Spectral Computational Approach
(2022)A novel computational approach is developed to investigate the mixed convection, boundary layer flow over a nonlinear elastic (stretching or shrinking) surface. The viscous fluid is electrically conducting, incompressible, ... -
Association Between Social Network Sites Use and Mental Illness: A Meta-Analysis
(2022)The existing literature shows mixed results of how the use of social networking sites (SNSs) is related to mental health. Some studies provided evidence that SNS users are more mentally healthy because of the exchanged ... -
Integrated Diagenesis Study of Tight Gas Sandstone: The Permian Lower Shihezi Formation, Northern Ordos Basin, China
(2022)Diagenesis varies greatly from basin to basin and has been considered as the key control of the reservoir quality of tight sandstones. In this study, we analyzed the petrographic characteristics, diagenesis, and pore types ... -
Does individual advocacy work?: A research and evaluation protocol for a youth anti-sex trafficking program
(2022)Introduction Thousands of youth are sexually trafficked each year worldwide. Increased public attention to the commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) of children has resulted in the rapid deployment of hybrid community public ... -
Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Mapping Disk Populations with a 2-process Model and Residual Abundances
(2022)We apply a novel statistical analysis to measurements of 16 elemental abundances in 34,410 Milky Way disk stars from the final data release (DR17) of APOGEE-2. Building on recent work, we fit median abundance ratio trends ... -
The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey. VI. Galactic Chemical Gradient Analysis from APOGEE DR17
(2022)The goal of the Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey is to constrain key Galactic dynamic and chemical evolution parameters by the construction and analysis of a large, comprehensive, uniform data ... -
Case Report: Laser Ablation Guided by State of the Art Source Imaging Ends an Adolescent's 16-Year Quest for Seizure Freedom
(2022)Epilepsy surgery is the most effective therapeutic approach for children with drug resistant epilepsy (DRE). Recent advances in neurosurgery, such as the Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT), improved the safety and ... -

The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey. V. Chemical Abundances of CTIO/Hydra Clusters Using the Cannon
(2022)Open clusters are key chemical and age tracers of Milky Way evolution. While open clusters provide significant constraints on galaxy evolution, their use has been limited due to discrepancies in measuring abundances from ... -
The Relationship Between Dietary Intake and Sleep Quality in Endurance Athletes
(2022)Many endurance athletes have poor sleep quality which may affect performance and health. It is unclear how dietary intake affects sleep quality among athletes. We examined if sleep quality in endurance athletes is associated ...
