Predicting the onset of alcohol use and the development of alcohol use disorder among Indigenous adolescents
(Wiley, 2016-05)
Empirical efforts to identify the predictors of drinking behavior among North American Indigenous adolescents are relatively limited. Using longitudinal data, this study considers perceived discrimination, positive drinker ...
Evaluating vital rate contributions to greater sage-grouse population dynamics to inform conservation
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-03)
Species conservation efforts often use short‐term studies that fail to identify the vital rates that contribute most to population growth. Although the greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage‐grouse) is a ...
Temporal variability in aboveground plant biomass decreases as spatial variability increases
(Ecological Society of America, 2016)
Ecological theory predicts that diversity decreases variability in ecosystem function. We predict that, at the landscape scale, spatial variability created by a mosaic of contrasting patches that differ in time since ...
Network approaches to substance use and HIV/hepatitis C risk among homeless youth and adult women in the United States: A review
(Scientific Research Publishing, Inc., 2016-08-26)
During the United States economic recession of 2008-2011, the number of homeless and unstably housed people in the United States increased considerably. Homeless adult women and unaccompanied homeless youth make up the ...
Oviposition by female Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): Description and time budget analysis of behaviors in laboratory studies
(MDPI, 2016-01-22)
The oviposition behavior of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a major insect pest of durable stored foods, was studied in small experimental arenas under laboratory conditions ...
Response of mid-rotation loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) physiology and productivity to sustained, moderate drought on the western edge of the range
(MDPI, 2016-09-14)
The productivity of the approximately 11 million ha of loblolly pine plantations in the southeastern USA could be threatened by decreased water availability in a future climate. To determine the effects of sustained drought ...

Myceliophthora thermophila M77 utilizes hydrolytic and oxidative mechanisms to deconstruct biomass
(SpringerOpen, 2016-11-02)
Biomass is abundant, renewable and useful for biofuel production as well as chemical priming for plastics and composites. Deconstruction of biomass by enzymes is perceived as recalcitrant while an inclusive breakdown ...
Success team program: A model of mentorship
(2016-05-01)
The first year at the university can be particularly trying for students entering the difficult major of Architecture. The unusual time commitment, as well as the high standards for performance, can confound entering ...
Fuzzy case-based reasoning system
(MDPI, 2016-06-29)
In this paper, we propose a fuzzy case-based reasoning system, using a case-based reasoning (CBR) system that learns from experience to solve problems. Different from a traditional case-based reasoning system that uses ...
