Validation of a Low-Cost Portable Device for Inducing Noninvasive Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Mice
(ASME International, 2023-08)Noninvasive compression-induced anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACL-R) is an easy and reproducible model for studying post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in mice. However, equipment typically used for ACL-R is expensive, ... -
Flow-Control Plates to Manage Denil Fishways in Irrigation Diversions for Upstream Passage of Arctic Grayling
(U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2023-06)Small-stream irrigation diversions are key elements of many on-farm irrigation systems but can act as barriers to aquatic species. Denil fishways have been installed at irrigation diversion structures throughout the Big ... -
Impact of deicing salts on pervious concrete pavement
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-06)Two pervious concrete projects (named as SR28 and SR431), with the same mixture design but different winter maintenance activities, were included in this research. Both projects are located in the Lake Tahoe area, Nevada, ... -
Design of Experiment to Determine the Effect of the Geometric Variables on Tensile Properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
(MDPI AG, 2023-05)Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are increasingly used in the aerospace industry because of their robust mechanical properties and strength to weight ratio. A significant drawback of CFRPs is their resistance to ... -
Open-source pneumatic pressure pump for drop-based microfluidic flow controls
(IOP Publishing, 2023-07)An open-source pneumatic pressure pump is engineered for driving fluid flow in a microfluidic device. It is designed to be a cost-effective and customizable alternative to commercial systems. The pneumatic pressure pump ... -
Osteocyte Remodeling of the Lacunar-Canalicular System: What’s in a Name?
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-12)Purpose of Review. Osteocytes directly modify the bone surrounding the expansive lacunar-canalicular system (LCS) through both resorption and deposition. The existence of this phenomenon is now widely accepted, but is ... -
Harvesting and Disaggregation: An Overlooked Step in Biofilm Methods Research
(MyJove Corporation, 2022-04)Biofilm methods consist of four distinct steps: growing the biofilm in a relevant model, treating the mature biofilm, harvesting the biofilm from the surface and disaggregating the clumps, and analyzing the sample. Of the ... -
Development of a Novel Perturbation Platform System for Balance Response Testing and Rehabilitation Interventions
(ASME International, 2023-04)Balance perturbations are often used to gain insight into reactive control strategies used to prevent falls. We developed a perturbation platform system (PPS) that can induce perturbations in both vertical and angled ... -
Bees and Butterflies in Roadside Habitats: Identifying Patterns, Protecting Monarchs, and Informing Management
(ITD Reseach Program, 2023-07)Pollinating insects provide vital ecosystem services and are facing global declines and habitat loss . Roadsides are increasingly regarded as important potential areas f or enhancing pollinator habitat. Understanding which ... -
Distribution System State Estimation Using Hybrid Traditional and Advanced Measurements for Grid Modernization
(MDPI AG, 2023-06)Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE) techniques have been introduced to monitor and control Active Distribution Networks (ADNs). DSSE calculations are commonly performed using both conventional measurements and ... -
Agile collaboration: Citizen science as a transdisciplinary approach to heliophysics
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-04)Citizen science connects scientists with the public to enable discovery, engaging broad audiences across the world. There are many attributes that make citizen science an asset to the field of heliophysics, including agile ... -

Subchondral bone structure and synovial fluid metabolism are altered in injured and contralateral limbs 7 days after non-invasive joint injury in skeletally-mature C57BL/6 mice
(Elsevier BV, 2022-12)Objective. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) commonly develops after ACL injury, but early changes to the joint soon after injury are insufficiently understood. The objectives of this study were (1) evaluate the response ... -
Evaluation of the bonding properties between low-value plastic fibers treated with microbially-induced calcium carbonate precipitation and cement mortar
(Elsevier BV, 2022-11)Plastic fiber reinforced cementitious materials offer the potential to increase the reusability of plastic waste and create lower-CO2 cementitious composites. However, the bonding properties of many plastic types with ... -
Bacterial transfer and biofilm formation in needleless connectors in a clinically simulated in vitro catheter model
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-04)Objective: Although needleless connectors (NCs) are widely used in clinical practice, they carry significant risk of bloodstream infection (BSI). In this study, we quantified differences in bacterial transfer and biofilm ... -
Culexarchaeia, a novel archaeal class of anaerobic generalists inhabiting geothermal environments
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-09)Geothermal environments, including terrestrial hot springs and deep-sea hydrothermal sediments, often contain many poorly understood lineages of archaea. Here, we recovered ten metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from ... -
