An oviraptorosaur adult-egg association from the Cretaceous of Jiangxi Province, China
(2019-11)With abundant well-preserved clutches and several adult-clutch associations, oviraptorids provide some of the most detailed information on reproduction for dinosaurs. Here, we describe an oviraptorosaur closely associated ... -
Belief in the American Indian/Alaska Native biological vulnerability myth and drinking to cope: Does stereotype threat play a role?
(2021-01)Objectives: The effects of stereotype threat and internalized alcohol stereotypes on negative affect and negative affect-related drinking have not been examined in American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs), despite their ... -
Magnetron plasma mediated immobilization of hyaluronic acid for the development of functional double-sided biodegradable vascular graft
(2020-11)The clinical need for vascular grafts is associated with cardiovascular diseases frequently leading to fatal outcomes. Artificial vessels based on bioresorbable polymers can replace the damaged vascular tissue or create a ... -
Climate Action Plan Research Report 2021
(Montana State University, 2021-06)This report examines both the development and implementation of climate action plans in higher educational settings. Research strategies include conducting a literature review utilizing reference management software; ... -
High-severity wildfire limits available floral pollen quality and bumble bee nutrition compared to mixed-severity burns
(2019-12)High-severity wildfires, which can homogenize floral communities, are becoming more common relative to historic mixed-severity fire regimes in the Northern Rockies of the U.S. High-severity wildfire could negatively affect ... -
Modeling Observable Differences in Flare Loop Evolution due to Reconnection Location and Current Sheet Structure
(2020-05)Flare reconnection is expected to occur at some point within a large-scale coronal current sheet. The structure of the magnetic field outside this sheet is almost certain to affect the flare, especially its energy release. ... -
Workbook for ASTR 110IN Introduction to Astronomy: Mysteries of the Sky
(Montana State University, 2020)An introduction to contemporary astronomy that explores the nature, methods, and limitations of scientific inquiry within the context of our struggle to understand the structure and evolution of the Universe. Topics include ... -
Interlaboratory study for the evaluation of three microtiter plate-based biofilm quantification methods
(2021-07)Microtiter plate methods are commonly used for biofilm assessment. However, results obtained with these methods have often been difficult to reproduce. Hence, it is important to obtain a better understanding of the ... -
An analysis of fossil identification guides to improve data reporting in citizen science programs
(2020-04)An increasing number of organizations use untrained volunteers to gather scientific data. This citizen science movement builds enthusiasm for science by engaging the public, as well as providing a way to gather large amounts ... -
Light-Driven Permanent Charge Separation across a Hybrid Zero-Dimensional/Two-Dimensional Interface
(2020-04)We report the first demonstration of light-driven permanent charge separation across an ultrathin solid-state zero-dimensional (0D)/2D hybrid interface by coupling photoactive Sn-doped In2O3 nanocrystals with monolayer ... -
Long-Range Exciton Diffusion in Two-Dimensional Assemblies of Cesium Lead Bromide Perovskite Nanocrystals
(2020-05)Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET)-mediated exciton diffusion through artificial nanoscale building block assemblies could be used as an optoelectronic design element to transport energy. However, so far, nanocrystal ... -
The relationship between genome size and metabolic rate in extant vertebrates
(2020-01)Genome size has long been hypothesized to affect the metabolic rate in various groups of animals. The mechanism behind this proposed association is the nucleotypic effect, in which large nucleus and cell sizes influence ... -
How Does Magnetic Reconnection Drive the Early-stage Evolution of Coronal Mass Ejections?
(2020-04)Theoretically, coronal mass ejection (CME) kinematics are related to magnetic reconnection processes in the solar corona. However, the current quantitative understanding of this relationship is based on the analysis of ... -
The urgency of transforming the Midwestern U.S. landscape into more than corn and soybean
(2020-05)The current agri-food system emerged out of a desire to provide an inexpensive and secure food supply. Yet even before COVID-19, the abundant agricultural production of the Midwestern United States was generated amid a ... -
Forest Cover Change, Households’ Livelihoods, Trade-Offs, and Constraints Associated with Plantation Forests in Poor Upland-Rural Landscapes: Evidence from North Central Vietnam
(2020-05)Vietnam’s forests have experienced a notable transformation over the past 20 years from net deforestation to reforestation and expanding forests. Continued reforestation that aims to achieve further economic and environmental ... -
Food web controls on mercury fluxes and fate in the Colorado River, Grand Canyon
(2020-05)Mercury (Hg) biomagnification in aquatic food webs is a global concern; yet, the ways species traits and interactions mediate these fluxes remain poorly understood. Few pathways dominated Hg flux in the Colorado River ... -
Biosynthesis of the modified tetrapyrroles - the pigments of life
(2021-01)Modified tetrapyrroles are large macrocyclic compounds, consisting of diverse conjugation and metal chelation systems and imparting an array of colors to the biological structures that contain them. Tetrapyrroles represent ... -
Modeling Partially Surveyed Point Process Data: Inferring Spatial Point Intensity of Geomagnetic Anomalies
(2020-06)Many former military training sites contain unexploded ordnance (UXO) and require environmental remediation. For the first phase of UXO remediation, locations of geomagnetic anomalies are recorded over a subregion of the ... -
Agent-Based Models for Collective Animal Movement: Proximity-Induced State Switching
(2021-08)Animal movement is a complex phenomenon where individual movement patterns can be influenced by a variety of factors including the animal’s current activity, available terrain and habitat, and locations of other animals. ... -
Trampling Effects on Vegetation of the Trail Corridors of North Rocky Mountain Forests
(1974-08)The management of trails should be based on knowledge of the effects of humans on them; most of the available information has been reviewed by Speight (1973), Stankey & Lime (1973), and Liddle (1975). Observations of ...
