An inexpensive, versatile, compact, programmable temperature controller and thermocycler for simultaneous analysis and visualization within a microscope
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-05)Microfluidic Lab on a Chip (LOC) devices are key enabling technologies for research and industry due to their compact size, which increases the number of integrated operations while decreasing reagent use. Common operations ... -
The longer‐term labor market impacts of paid parental leave
(Wiley, 2021-03)Although paid family leave (PFL) has the potential to improve labor market and other outcomes for mothers, there is also concern that PFL might also lead to discrimination against women of childbearing age. We examine the ... -
A Holocene history of monkey puzzle tree (pehuén) in northernmost Patagonia
(Wiley, 2020-12)Aim Although it is established that climate and fire have greatly influenced the long-term ecosystem dynamics of Patagonia south of 40°S, the environmental history from northernmost Patagonia (37–40°S), where endemic and ... -
Associations Between Childhood Abuse and COVID-19 Hyperarousal in Adulthood: The Role of Social Environment
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021-02)Background: Childhood abuse increases risk for high levels of distress in response to future stressors. Interpersonal social support is protective for health, particularly during stress, and may be particularly beneficial ... -
An estimate of wild mammal roadkill in Sao Paulo state, Brazil
(Elsevier BV, 2021-01)Roadkill estimates for different species and species groups are available for many countries and regions. However, there is a lack of information from tropical countries, including from Latin America. In this study, we ... -
Be Wise: A complementary and alternative medicine health literacy skill-building programme
(SAGE Publications, 2021-04)Background: Health literacy has been found to be the strongest predictor of health status; and without adequate health literacy, consumers may not understand/adequately evaluate the myriad of choices available. Older rural ... -
A retrospective view of early research on dominance, stress and reproduction in cooperatively breeding carnivores
(Elsevier BV, 2022-04)Social carnivores have been central in studies of cooperative breeding, and research using noninvasive methods to examine behavioral and endocrine mechanisms of reproductive suppression started in the 1980s with dwarf ... -
A Tale of Two Borders: Use‐Value Assessment, Land Development, and Irrigation Investment
(Wiley, 2020-03)Since 1960, all 50 states in the US have adopted some form of preferential tax treatment for farmland. These provisions often take the form of use-value assessment, where farmland is taxed on the basis of its value in ... -
Scalable Algorithms for Designing CO2 Capture and Storage Infrastructure
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is a climate change mitigation strategy that aims to reduce the amount of CO2 vented into the atmosphere from industrial processes. Designing cost-effective CCS infrastructure is critical in ... -
Antiviral Activity of the PropylamylatinTM Formula against the Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 In Vitro Using Direct Injection and Gas Assays in Virus Suspensions
(MDPI, 2021-03)Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has become a severe threat to global public health. There are currently no antiviral therapies ... -
What Structural Features Make Porous Carbons Work for Redox-Enhanced Electrochemical Capacitors? A Fundamental Investigation
(American Chemical Society, 2021-02)The addition of redox-active molecules into electrochemical-capacitor electrolytes provides increased specific energy density. Here we illustrate the underlying operational mechanisms and design principles for carbons with ... -
Political Polarization: Challenges, Opportunities, and Hope for Consumer Welfare, Marketers, and Public Policy
(SAGE Publications, 2021-03)Political polarization is a marked political division in the population, characterized by multiple manifestations. The authors argue that it can affect consumer psychology, which in turn influences marketers, policy makers, ... -

(2021-01)To reinforce the interprofessional education and practice trends in contemporary curricular standards, traditional undergraduate and accelerated nursing students read Teeth in their senior-level population-based healthcare course. -
The Use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers in Wildlife Crossing Infrastructure
(MDPI, 2020-02)The proven effectiveness of highway crossing infrastructure to mitigate wildlife-vehicle collisions with large animals has made it a preferred method for increasing motorist and animal safety along road networks around the ... -
Size-specific apparent survival rate estimates of white sharks using mark–recapture models
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2019-02)Abstract: For species that exist at low abundance or are otherwise difficult to study, it is challenging to estimate vital rates such as survival and fecundity and common to assume that survival rates are constant across ... -
Provenance analysis of Cretaceous peripheral foreland basin in central Tibet: Implications to precise timing on the initial Lhasa-Qiangtang collision
(Elsevier BV, 2020-01)Mesozoic strata along northern margin of the Lhasa terrane near Dingqing, Tibet provide a semi-continuous record of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean closure and the subsequent Lhasa-Qiangtang collision. In this study, we present ... -
Physical Activity and Inflammation Phenotype Conversion
(Clinical Exercise Physiology Association, 2019)Inflammation is a protective response to infection or injury; however, persistent microtraumas at the tissue level may result in chronic low-grade inflammation that plays both direct and indirect roles in the development ... -
The easternmost occurrence of Mammut pacificus (Proboscidea: Mammutidae), based on a partial skull from eastern Montana, USA
(PeerJ, 2020-11)Mammut pacificus is a recently described species of mastodon from the Pleistocene of California and Idaho. We report the easternmost occurrence of this taxon based upon the palate with right and left M3 of an adult male ... -
Molecular Evidence for an Active Microbial Methane Cycle in Subsurface Serpentinite-Hosted Groundwaters in the Samail Ophiolite, Oman
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021-01)Serpentinization can generate highly reduced fluids replete with hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4), potent reductants capable of driving microbial methanogenesis and methanotrophy, respectively. However, CH4 in serpentinized ... -
Arsenate-Induced Changes in Bacterial Metabolite and Lipid Pools during Phosphate Stress
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021-02)Arsenic is widespread in the environment and is one of the most ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Parodoxically, the growth of certain bacteria is enhanced by arsenic when phosphate is limited.
