Click Chemistry of Melamine Dendrimers: Comparison of "Click-and-Grow" and "Grow-Then-Click" Strategies Using a Divergent Route to Diversity
(2023)Dendrimers are attractive macromolecules for a broad range of applications owing to their well-defined shapes and dimensions, highly branched and globular architectures, and opportunities for exploiting multivalency. ... -
Recovering the urban forest: The role of trees, tree culture, and place attachment before and after Hurricane Harvey
(2023)Trees can be powerful symbols that contribute to the production and consumption of places. Disaster events, such as hurricanes, alter the physical landscape, causing tree damage and loss. In places with strong tree cultures, ... -
Insights to Improve Dietary Guidelines for Americans Communication and Policy
(2023)This study aims to tease out why the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) have largely failed to support positive attitudinal and behavioral dietary change in the U.S. over the past decade. Dervin's sense-making methodology ... -
Automated Approach to In Vitro Image-Guided Photothermal Therapy with Top-Down and Bottom-Up-Synthesized Graphene Quantum Dots
(2023)Graphene-based materials have been the subject of interest for photothermal therapy due to their high light-to-heat conversion efficiency. Based on recent studies, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are expected to possess ... -
Analysis of the Influencing Factors of Seeking Intention on COVID-19 Risk Information: A Cross-Sectional Study
(2023)Background: Information seeking, as an important part of the prevention and control of infectious diseases, can lead to positive outcomes by reducing uncertainty and alleviating panic. However, most previous studies have ... -
Results of a national survey of substance use treatment services for youth under community supervision
(2023)Background: Despite the heightened risk for substance use (SU) among youth in the juvenile justice system, many do not receive the treatment that they need. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the extent ... -
Firms' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic
(2023)The COVID-19 pandemic requires firms to adequately respond. In this study, we first explore in our empirical data how firms responded to the COVID-19 crisis and identify five tactical response types, operational, digitalization, ... -
The Baryonic Content of Galaxies Mapped by MaNGA and the Gas Around Them
(2023)We analyze the cool gas in and around 14 nearby galaxies (at z < 0.1) mapped with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV MaNGA survey by measuring absorption lines produced by gas in spectra of background quasars/active galactic ... -
Canoparmelia texana (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) consists of two independent lineages
(2022)Recent studies have demonstrated that species boundaries among the lichen-forming fungi are in need of revision with the discovery of cryptic species in numerous clades, especially in parmelioid lichens. Here we focus on ... -
Mollifying green skepticism: Effective strategies for inspiring green participation in the hospitality industry
(2023)Environmental awareness is a growing concern for consumers, and effective green messaging strategies are crucial for businesses. This 2 ¿ 2 between-subject experiment investigates the influence of message style and sidedness ... -
Eulerian-Eulerian RSTM-PDF Modeling of Turbulent Particulate Flow
(2023)A novel 3D computational model was developed for the turbulent particulate two-phase flow simulation in the rectangular channel. The model is based on the Eulerian approach applied to 3D Reynolds-averaged Navier¿Stokes ... -
Surface Photovoltage Response of ZnO to Phosphate-Buffered Saline Solution with and without Presence of Staphylococcus aureus
(2023)Nano- and microscale zinc oxide (ZnO) exhibits significant potential as a novel antibacterial agent in biomedical applications. However, the uncertainty regarding the underlying mechanisms of the observed antimicrobial ... -
Discovery of Super-enriched Gas ~1 Gyr after the Big Bang
(2023)Abundances of chemical elements in the interstellar and circumgalactic media of high-redshift galaxies offer important constraints on the nucleosynthesis by early generations of stars. Damped Ly? absorbers (DLAs) in spectra ... -
Lebanese Undergraduate Students' Perceptions of the Tentativeness and Evidence of the Theory of Evolution
(2023)Research has previously examined the role of the epistemological background of students in accepting or rejecting the theory of evolution. In this study, the participants were 11 undergraduate biology major students in a ... -
Definitions, terminology, and related concepts of "racial health equity": a scoping review protocol
(2023)BACKGROUND: In the USA, access to quality healthcare varies greatly across racial and ethnic groups, resulting in significant health disparities. A new term, "racial health equity" (RHE), is increasingly reported in the ... -
Actions are authentic, but are leaders? A reconceptualization of authenticity and leadership practice
(2023)Since the Gallup Leadership Summit, authentic leadership has ascended as a central topic of inquiry owing to practitioners and academicians' desire for more positive types of leadership (Braun and Peus, 2018; Ilies et al., ... -
Using supervised machine learning to scale human-coded data: A method and dataset in the board leadership context
(2023)Research Summary: Human coding of unstructured text can enable scholars to measure complex latent constructs for use in empirical analysis, but also requires substantial time and resources that limit the number and sample ... -
Intraspecific trait plasticity to N and P of the wetland invader, Alternanthera philoxeroides under flooded conditions
