Statistical Applications to Downscale GRACE-Derived Terrestrial Water Storage Data and to Fill Temporal Gaps
(2020-02-06)The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) has been successfully used to monitor variations in terrestrial water storage (GRACETWS) and groundwater storage (GRACEGWS) across the globe, yet such applications are ... -
Contributions of Chondroitin Sulfate, Keratan Sulfate and N-linked Oligosaccharides to Inhibition of Neurite Outgrowth by Aggrecan
(2020-02-12)The role of proteoglycans in the central nervous system (CNS) is a rapidly evolving field and has major implications in the field of CNS injury. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) increase in abundance following ... -
Continuation of Chronic Heart Failure Therapies During Heart Failure Hospitalization - a Review
(2019-09-30)Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the benefits of guideline-directed medical therapy in the outpatient setting for treatment of chronic heart failure. However, the benefits of continuation (or discontinuation) ... -
A Geothermal-Solar Hybrid Power Plant with Thermal Energy Storage
(2020-02-25)The concept of a geothermal-solar power plant is proposed that provides dispatchable power to the local electricity grid. The power plant generates significantly more power in the late afternoon and early evening hours of ... -
Exploration of a College and Career Readiness Leadership Program for Urban Youth
(2019-09-12)Urban youth living in poverty are less socially and academically prepared to access postsecondary education compared to their more affluent peers. College and career readiness (CCR) programs traditionally focus on ... -
Reimagining Christian Hope(lessness) in the Anthropocene
(2020-04-15)Faith in the Anthropocene requires a re-imagined account of Christian hope. Research on the emergence of eco-anxiety disorder shows that climate crisis and ecological destruction have psychological and emotional effects ... -
Immunomodulating Activities of Sodium-dodecyl-sulphate-extracted Antigens from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans Serotype b
(2009-07-11)Total internal reflection microscopy (TIRF) has been a powerful tool in biological research. The most valuable feature of the method has been the ability to image 100- to 200-nm-thick layer of cell features adjacent to a ... -

A review of recent advances in thermophysical properties at the nanoscale: From solid state to colloids
(2020-02-13)Nanomaterials possess superior optical, electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and thermal properties, which have made them suitable for a multitude of applications. The present review paper deals with recent advances in the ... -
The influences of environmental change and development on leaf shape in Vitis
(2020-04-01)Premise: The size and shape (physiognomy) of woody, dicotyledonous angiosperm leaves are correlated with climate. These relationships are the basis for multiple paleoclimate proxies. Here we test whether Vitis exhibits ... -
Spatial Lifecourse Epidemiology Reporting Standards (ISLE-ReSt) statement
(2020-01-01)Spatial lifecourse epidemiology is an interdisciplinary field that utilizes advanced spatial, location-based, and artificial intelligence technologies to investigate the long-term effects of environmental, behavioural, ... -
Arrays of Ni/Co Nanoparticles within a Nanostructured Silicon Host
(2020-04-01)Herein, nanostructured silicon is fabricated with two different embedded magnetic nanostructures (Ni/Co) to exploit the magnetic properties of both metals and discern the behavior of the exchange coupling between the ... -
