Abnormal Nutritive Sucking as an Indicator of Neonatal Brain Injury
(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, ... -
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
(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 ... -
Use of Geophysical and Radar Interferometric Techniques to Monitor Land Deformation Associated with the Jazan Salt Diapir, Jazan city, Saudi Arabia
(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
(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
(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 ... -
Countrywide Monitoring of Ground Deformation Using InSAR Time Series: A Case Study from Qatar
(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 ... -
Predation release of Texas horned lizards (Phrynosoma cornutum) living in small towns
(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 ... -
Absolute Double Differential Cross Sections of Bremsstrahlung Produced from 4.0 keV Electrons Incident on Free Ar Atoms
(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 ... -
Do We All Live Story-Shaped Lives? Narrative Identity, Episodic Life, and Religious Experience
(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 ... -
Graphene Quantum Dots as Intracellular Imaging-Based Temperature Sensors
(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 ... -
Nanoporous Silicon as a Green, High-Tech Educational Tool
(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 ... -
Expanding the Ligand Classes Used for Mn(II) Complexation: Oxa-aza Macrocycles Make the Difference
(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 ... -
Source imaging of seizure onset predicts surgical outcome in pediatric epilepsy
(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 ... -
Hepatectomy, RFA, and Other Liver Directed Therapies for Treatment of Breast Cancer Liver Metastasis: A Systematic Review
(2021)Background: The liver is the second most common site of breast cancer metastasis. Liver directed therapies including hepatic resection, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), transarterial chemo- and radioembolization (TACE/TARE), ... -
Osteochondral Lesions of the Distal Tibial Plafond: A Systematic Review of Lesion Locations and Treatment Outcomes
(2021)Background: Osteochondral lesions of the tibial plafond (OLTPs) remain less common than osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs), but recognition of the condition has increased. Purpose:To systematically evaluate the ... -
Sex Differences in Stroke Hospitalization Incidence, 30-Day Mortality, and Readmission in a Regional Medical Center in the Southwestern United States
