(Elsevier BV, 2022-08)Chronic illness (CI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for Indigenous people. In Montana, Indigenous communities disproportionately experience CI, a legacy of settler colonialism. For over two decades, Messengers ... -
Is disgust proneness prospectively associated with influenza vaccine hesitancy and uptake?
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-05)Although various demographic and psychosocial factors have been identified as correlates of influenza vaccine hesitancy, factors that promote infectious disease avoidance, such as disgust proneness, have been rarely examined. ... -
The dynamic floor of Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, USA: The last 14 k.y. of hydrothermal explosions, venting, doming, and faulting
(Geological Society of America, 2022-06)Hydrothermal explosions are significant potential hazards in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. The northern Yellowstone Lake area hosts the three largest hydrothermal explosion craters known on Earth empowered by ... -
Efficacy of Biorational Products for Managing Diseases of Tomato in Greenhouse Production
(MDPI AG, 2022-06)Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea), late blight (Phytophthora infestans), powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica), pith necrosis (Pseudomonas corrugata), and bacterial canker (Clavibacter michiganensis) are major diseases that affect ... -
18β-Glycyrrhetinic Acid Induces Metabolic Changes and Reduces Staphylococcus aureus Bacterial Cell-to-Cell Interactions
(MDPI AG, 2022-06)The rise in bacterial resistance to common antibiotics has raised an increased need for alternative treatment strategies. The natural antibacterial product, 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GRA) has shown efficacy against ... -
Colours and maps for communicating natural hazards to users with and without colour vision deficiency
(Elsevier BV, 2022-06)Natural hazards are often communicated visually using colours and maps. However, users' ability to read and understand these products may be hampered by e.g., colour vision deficiency, potentially rendering the products ... -
Greater sage‐grouse habitat selection varies across the marginal habitat of its lagging range margin
(Wiley, 2022-07)Studying wildlife–habitat relationships at the edges of their range can provide valuable insights into the environmental factors limiting wildlife distributions and most likely to drive extirpations and range shifts in ... -
Investigating Abiotic and Biotic Mechanisms of Pyrite Reduction
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-05)Pyrite (FeS2) has a very low solubility and therefore has historically been considered a sink for iron (Fe) and sulfur (S) and unavailable to biology in the absence of oxygen and oxidative weathering. Anaerobic methanogens ... -
Haskap maturity stages and their influence on postharvest berry quality
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2022-06)Limited information is available regarding haskap berry maturity and corresponding postharvest characteristics. We assessed detached berry quality, respiration rate, and ethylene production at five stages of maturity and ... -
Emotional intelligence, safety behavior, and peer-assessed pilot performance
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2021)Flying is a stressful and demanding profession that requires both technical and nontechnical skills. Traditionally, technical skills such as aircraft knowledge and flight control-handling took precedence over nontechnical ... -
Deprescribing proton pump inhibitors, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, and antihyperglycemic medications in a rural clinic in an elderly population
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Nursing, 2021)Background: Polypharmacy affects many patients as they age and develop multiple health problems. The increased number of medications has been directly related to adverse drug events (ADEs) which include overdoses, falls, ... -
Estimating the impact of high-speed internet on teen and young adult labor force participation
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2021)High-speed residential internet access was rolled out in the United States in the early 2000's. While the advent of high-speed internet brought with it a lot of positive changes, like greater access to information (Dettling ... -
Effect of landscape fragmentation on bat population dynamics and disease persistence in Uruguay
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2021)The transmission of pathogens into novel host species, a process known as spillover, requires a series of conditions to align in space and time. A series of imperfect barriers prevent the jump of pathogens from one species ... -
The effect of local alcohol access on lottery purchases
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2022)The relationship between gambling and drinking has attracted significant attention from researchers but has been primarily explored in the limited context of laboratory experiments and cross-sectional surveys. In this ... -
Alkaline microalgae from Yellowstone National Park: physiological and genomic characterization for biofuel production
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2021)Alternatives are needed to avoid future economic and environmental impacts from continued exploration, harvesting transport, and combustion of conventional hydrocarbons resulting in a rise of atmospheric CO 2. Microalgae, ... -
Development of drop-based microfluidic methods for high-throughput biological assays
(Montana State University - Bozeman, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, 2021)Drop-based microfluidics allows single-cell biological assays to be performed by encapsulating samples in picoliter scale drops. Adapting biological assays to drop-based microfluidics requires novel approaches to meet the ... -
Discovery of key intermediates for radical initiation in PFL-AE
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2020)Members of the radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzyme superfamily utilize a [4Fe-4S] cluster and the small molecule, SAM, to generate methionine and the 5'deoxyadenosyl radical (5'-dAdo*). Once formed, the 5'-dAdo* ... -
