Green Catalysts: Applied and Synthetic Photosynthesis
(2020-09-03)The biological process of photosynthesis was critical in catalyzing the oxygenation of Earth’s atmosphere 2.5 billion years ago, changing the course of development of life on Earth. Recently, the fields of applied and ... -
Genetic Approaches Are Necessary to Accurately Understand Bat-Wind Turbine Impacts
(2020-06-11)Bats are killed at wind energy facilities worldwide and we must improve our understanding of why this is happening and implement effective strategies to minimize impacts. To this end, we need accurate assessments of which ... -
Functionalized pyridine in pyclen-based iron(III) complexes: Evaluation of fundamental properties
(2020-08-26)The use of tetra-aza pyridinophanes is of increasing interest in the fields of bioinorganic modeling, catalysis, and imaging. However, a full study of how modifications to the pyridyl moiety affect the characteristics of ... -
Flood Hazard and Risk Assessment of Extreme Weather Events Using Synthetic Aperture Radar and Auxiliary Data: A Case Study
(2020-11-01)The Greater Houston metropolitan area has experienced recurring flooding events in the past two decades related to tropical cyclones and heavy inland rainfall. With the projected recurrence of severe weather events, an ... -
Does the Punishment Fit the Crime (and Immune System)? A Potential Role for the Immune System in Regulating Punishment Sensitivity
(2020-06-22)Although the criminal justice system is designed around the idea that individuals are invariant in their responses to punishment, research indicates that individuals exhibit a tremendous amount of variability in their ... -
Directors' remuneration and performance: Evidence from the textile sector of Bangladesh
(2020-06-30)This study investigates the impact of board incentives as proxied by directors' remuneration on the financial performance of listed textile companies in Bangladesh. Using Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) and data ... -
Development of a larval fathead minnow optomotor response assay for assessing visual function
(2020-06-20)The optomotor response (OMR) is a position stabilizing reflex to whole-field visual motion, demonstrated by fish instinctually moving to follow alternating black and white stripes. The OMR assay is used to assess the visual ... -
Density deconvolution for generalized skew-symmetric distributions
(2020-07-23)The density deconvolution problem is considered for random variables assumed to belong to the generalized skew-symmetric (GSS) family of distributions. The approach is semiparametric in that the symmetric component of the ... -
Modeling the role of asymptomatics in infection spread with application to SARS-CoV-2
(2020-08-10)SARS-CoV-2 started causing infections in humans in late 2019 and has spread rapidly around the world. While the number of symptomatically infected and severely ill people is high and has overwhelmed the medical systems of ... -
Comparative Genomic Analyses and a Novel Linkage Map for Cisco (Coregonus artedi) Provide Insights into Chromosomal Evolution and Rediploidization Across Salmonids
(2020-08-01)Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is hypothesized to be an important evolutionary mechanism that can facilitate adaptation and speciation. Genomes that exist in states of both diploidy and residual tetraploidy are of particular ... -
Clustering Product Development Project Organization From the Perspective of Social Network Analysis
(2019-10-17)In product development (PD) organizations, coordinating technical dependencies among teams with different expertise in overlapping processes is a fundamental challenge. This article takes a more sophisticated approach than ... -

(2019-09-01)The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of awareness of same-sex relationships among school-aged children living in Romanian orphanages in late 90s in a sample consisting of 1,353 children (703 boys and ... -
Attenuating Pain With the Past: Nostalgia Reduces Physical Pain
(2020-10-13)Previous work has found that nostalgia, a sentimental longing for the past, is associated with psychological, emotional, and social benefits. Recent research has demonstrated that nostalgic reflection also can improve ... -
Angiopoietin-1 protects 3T3-L1 preadipocytes from saturated fatty acid-induced cell death
(2020-04-01)Cross talk between endothelial cells and adipocytes is vital to adipocyte functions, but little is known about the mechanisms or factors controlling the process. Angiogenesis is a critical component linking the endothelium ... -
Analytical Solutions for a General Mixed Boundary Value Problem Associated with Motions of Fluids with Linear Dependence of Viscosity on the Pressure
(2020-08-17)An unsteady flow of incompressible Newtonian fluids with linear dependence of viscosity on the pressure between two infinite horizontal parallel plates is analytically studied. The fluid motion is induced by the upper plate ... -
A practical guide for assessing respiratory burst and phagocytic cell activity in the fathead minnow, an emerging model for immunotoxicity
(2020-07-01)Measures of respiratory burst and phagocytic cell activity are frequently utilized to assess cellular immune function in teleosts. Respiratory burst predominately occurs in neutrophils and causes the release of reactive ... -
Culture-Bearer, Culture-Sharer, Culture-Changer: The Role of Faculty in Preventing Sexual Violence on Campus
(2020-07-30)Sexual violence is a prevalent issue on university campuses today. Bystander intervention programs, which frame violence as a community problem, are a possible solution to address the issue of sexual violence on campus. ... -
TIDES: examining the influence of temporal individual differences on multitasking in educational simulation
(2020-11-09)Background: The majority of tasks nurses complete in acute care settings are time-sensitive. Due to complex patient needs, nurses’ multitasking behavior is of growing importance. Situations involving multitasking behavior ... -
Kinematic Rhetoric: Non-Discursive, Time-Affect Images in Motion
