Genome-scale data reveal deep lineage divergence and a complex demographic history in the Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) throughout the southwestern and central United States
(2022)The southwestern and central United States serve as an ideal region to test alternative hypotheses regarding biotic diversification. Genomic data can now be combined with sophisticated computational models to quantify the ... -
Comparison of 30-day mortality and readmission frequency in women versus men with acute myocardial infarction
(2021)This study aimed to assess gender differences in hospitalization incidence, 30-day mortality, and 30-day readmission rates for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a Southwestern US medical center. Hospital billing records ... -
Catalog of coefficients for estimating bulk and shear moduli as a function of lithology
(2021)The purpose of this paper is to present correlation coefficients for a variety of rock types that can be used in a suitable petroelastic model (PEM). The correlation coefficients for different rock types facilitate the ... -
HyPIR Electrolysis for a 0.25 M Epsom salt solution
(2021)Previous laboratory work using a 0.12 M Epsom salt solution showed that HyPIR Electrolysis, or Hydrogen Production by Infrared Electrolysis, can increase the rate of hydrogen production from a solution of Epsom salt dissolved ... -
Can particle appearance or disappearance be described by a quantum mechanical theory?
(2021)A common justification for replacing quantum mechanics with quantum field theory (QFT) is that the appearance or disappearance of particles cannot be described using quantum mechanics. We show that this justification for ... -
Ghosted by government
(2021)Public records laws across the United States operate under the presumption that citizens should have access to government records, but obtaining this information is not always a simple undertaking. Although state public ... -
Energy storage and installed wind capacity requirements for the substitution of fossil fuels in the electricity generation sector
(2021)The impending adverse effects of Global Climate Change encourages the substitution of fossil fuels with non-carbon sources for electricity generation. However, while fossil fuel power plants may generate electric power at ... -
Decision making in English as an Additional Language: Surprises and advantages
(2022)Do adult learners of English make different and sometimes better decisions in English than their monolingual peers and teachers? It is likely, possible, and probable. Using evidence from classroom decision making studies, ... -
Spatially refined time-varying reproduction numbers of COVID-19 by health district in Georgia, USA, March–December 2020
(2021)This study quantifies the transmission potential of SARS-CoV-2 across public health districts in Georgia, USA, and tests if per capita cumulative case count varies across counties. To estimate the time-varying reproduction ... -
Primary energy use and environmental effects of electric vehicles
(2021)The global market of electric vehicles has become one of the prime growth industries of the 21st century fueled by marketing efforts, which frequently assert that electric vehicles are “very efficient” and “produce no ... -
Land subsidence in the Texas Coastal Bend: Locations, rates, triggers, and consequences
(2022)Land subsidence and sea level rise are well-known, ongoing problems that are negatively impacting the entire Texas coast. Although ground-based monitoring techniques using long-term global navigation satellite systems ... -

(2021)La novela de Franz Galich refleja las aventuras de una pandilla que cohabita una Managua nocturna postliberal. ¿Cómo son las pandillas literaturizadas? ¿De qué forma la violencia callejera continúa la violencia bélica como ... -
Acoustic and genetic data can reduce uncertainty regarding populations of migratory tree-roosting bats impacted by wind energy
(2021)Wind turbine-related mortality may pose a population-level threat for migratory tree-roosting bats, such as the hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus) in North America. These species are dispersed within their range, making it ... -
Using the change point model (CPM) framework to identify windows for water resource management action in the lower Colorado River basin of Texas, USA
(2021)In water-stressed river basins with growing urban populations, conflicts over water resources have emerged between urban and agricultural interests, as managerial interventions occur with little warning and tend to favor ... -
