Noninvasive Mapping of Ripple Onset Predicts Outcome in Epilepsy Surgery
(Wiley, 2021)Objective: Intracranial electroencephalographic (icEEG) studies show that interictal ripples propagate across the brain of children with medically refractory epilepsy (MRE), and the onset of this propagation (ripple onset ... -
Abnormal Nutritive Sucking as an Indicator of Neonatal Brain Injury
(Frontiers, 2021)A term neonate is born with the ability to suck; this neuronal network is already formed and functional by 28 weeks gestational age and continues to evolve into adulthood. Because of the necessity of acquiring nutrition, ... -
Death Concerns, Benefit-Finding, and Well-Being During the COVID-19 Pandemic
(Frontiers, 2021)Because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, reminders of death are particularly salient. Although much terror management theory research demonstrates that people engage in defensive tactics to manage mortality awareness, ... -
Assessing MyPlate Familiarity and Typical Meal Composition using Food Models in Children Aged 7-13
(Lifescience Global, 2019)The Dietary Guidelines for Americans serve as a basis for developing federal nutrition education materials for the public, such as MyPlate. MyPlate is a visual cue that uses food groups as a guide to building healthy plates ... -
Case series of acute appendicitis association with SARS-CoV-2 infection
(SpringerNature, 2021)Background: Describe the indications for surgical interventions in asymptomatic patients with SARS-CoV-2. We are unaware of previous reports of an association between SARS-CoV-2 and acute appendicitis. Methods: We performed ... -
Absolute Double Differential Cross Sections of Bremsstrahlung Produced from 4.0 keV Electrons Incident on Free Ar Atoms
(MDPI, 2020)New results are reported on the measurements of absolute double differential cross sections (DDCSs) of bremsstrahlung produced from 4.0 keV electrons incident on free Ar atoms in the angular detection range of 45 degrees-120 ... -
Predation release of Texas horned lizards (Phrynosoma cornutum) living in small towns
(Wiley, 2021)Texas horned lizards (Phrynosoma cornutum) have a number of ways to avoid predation, including camouflage, sharp cranial horns, flattening of the body, and the ability to squirt blood from the eyes. These characteristics ... -
Nanoporous Silicon as a Green, High-Tech Educational Tool
(MDPI, 2021)Pedagogical tools are needed that link multidisciplinary nanoscience and technology (NST) to multiple state-of-the-art applications, including those requiring new fabrication routes relying on green synthesis. These can ... -
Divergent memories and visions of the future in conflicts over mining development
(University of Arizona, 2020)Conflicts over extractive development often center around predicting future profits and economic growth, and estimating industrial pollution. How these projections are understood and seen as legitimate and trustworthy ... -
Source imaging of seizure onset predicts surgical outcome in pediatric epilepsy
(Elsevier, 2021)Objective: To assess whether ictal electric source imaging (ESI) on low-density scalp EEG can approximate the seizure onset zone (SOZ) location and predict surgical outcome in children with refractory epilepsy undergoing ... -
Countrywide Monitoring of Ground Deformation Using InSAR Time Series: A Case Study from Qatar
(MDPI, 2021)Over the past few decades the country of Qatar has been one of the fastest growing economies in the Middle East; it has witnessed a rapid increase in its population, growth of its urban centers, and development of its ... -
Borrelia peptidoglycan interacting Protein (BpiP) contributes to the fitness of Borrelia burgdorferi against host-derived factors and influences virulence in mouse models of Lyme disease
(PLOS, 2021)The Peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall of the Lyme disease (LD) spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), contributes to structural and morphological integrity of Bb; is a persistent antigen in LD patients; and has a unique ... -
Graphene Quantum Dots as Intracellular Imaging-Based Temperature Sensors
(MDPI, 2021)Non-invasive temperature sensing is necessary to analyze biological processes occurring in the human body, including cellular enzyme activity, protein expression, and ion regulation. To probe temperature-sensitive processes ... -
Do We All Live Story-Shaped Lives? Narrative Identity, Episodic Life, and Religious Experience
(MDPI, 2021)This article focuses on exploring the concept of narrative identity, which has emerged as an integrative concept in various academic fields. Particularly in philosophy and psychology, scholars have claimed that humans are ... -
Sex differences in the impact of childhood socioeconomic status on immune function
(SpringerNature, 2021)Early life stress increases one's risk for health problems later in life, and many studies find that these effects are sex-differentiated. Here, we examined relationships between multiple sources of early life stress and ... -
Early life stress causes sex-specific changes in adult fronto-limbic connectivity that differentially drive learning
(eLife, 2020)It is currently unclear whether early life stress (ELS) affects males and females differently. However, a growing body of work has shown that sex moderates responses to stress and injury, with important insights into ... -
Expanding the Ligand Classes Used for Mn(II) Complexation: Oxa-aza Macrocycles Make the Difference
(MDPI, 2021)We report two macrocyclic ligands based on a 1,7-diaza-12-crown-4 platform functionalized with acetate (tO2DO2A(2-)) or piperidineacetamide (tO2DO2AM(Pip)) pendant arms and a detailed characterization of the corresponding ... -
Use of Geophysical and Radar Interferometric Techniques to Monitor Land Deformation Associated with the Jazan Salt Diapir, Jazan city, Saudi Arabia
(SpringerNature, 2021)Using integrated Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) datasets (Envisat: 2003-2009; Sentinel-1: 2014-2018), local gravity surveys, and passive seismic data, we investigated the environmental hazards associated ... -
Cooperation, Fragmentation and Control: News Media Representations of Changing Water Access From Austin to the Texas Rice Belt
(Water Alternatives, 2020)The waters of the Lower Colorado River Valley of Texas have sustained urban populations and agricultural operations for over a century. More recently, however, rapid urban growth, continued economic development, and a ... -
Sustainable hydrogen production from water using tandem dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells
(SpringerNature, 2021)If generated from water using renewable energy, hydrogen could serve as a carbon-zero, environmentally benign fuel to meet the needs of modern society. Photoelectrochemical cells integrate the absorption and conversion of ...
