Solitonic behaviour in coupled multi atom-cavity systems
(IOP Publishing, 2009-01-30)In view of current research effort on semiconducting photonic-crystal defect microcavities, we consider the dynamics of an array of coupled optical cavities, each containing an ensemble of qubits. By concentrating on the ... -
Solution of the kinetic equations governing trap filling. Consequences concerning dose dependence and dose-rate effects
(American Physical Society, 1981-11-01)The equations governing the traffic of charge carriers during the filling, by ionizing radiation, of traps and luminescence centers in an insulator are numerically solved. The numerical solution is that of a set of four ... -
Sp110 transcription is induced and required by Anaplasma phagocytophilumfor infection of human promyelocytic cells
(BioMed Central, 2007-09-20)Background: The tick-borne intracellular pathogen, Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) causes human granulocytic anaplasmosis after infection of polymorphonuclear leucocytes. The human Sp110 gene is ... -
Spatial and temporal risk as drivers for adoption of foot and mouth disease vaccination
(Elsevier, 2018-08-09)Identifying the drivers of vaccine adoption decisions under varying levels of perceived disease risk and benefit provides insight into what can limit or enhance vaccination uptake. To address the relationship of perceived ... -
Spatial distribution and risk factors of Brucellosis in Iberian wild ungulates
(BioMed Central, 2010-03-05)Background: The role of wildlife as a brucellosis reservoir for humans and domestic livestock remains to be properly established. The aim of this work was to determine the aetiology, apparent prevalence, spatial distribution ... -
Spatial factors related to occupants’ behavioral beliefs about window and blind use in multifamily residential buildings
(Environment and Behavior, 2023-06-02)Occupant behavior is one of the factors that impact the buildings’ energy consumption. Occupants interact with building systems to adjust their indoor environmental conditions to meet their comfort levels. Occupants’ ... -
Spatial heterogeneity and scale-dependent habitat selection for two sympatric raptors in mixed-grass prairie
(Wiley Open Access, 2017-07-15)Sympatric predators are predicted to partition resources, especially under conditions of food limitation. Spatial heterogeneity that influences prey availability might play an important role in the scales at which potential ... -
Spatial heterogeneity increases diversity and stability in grassland bird communities
(Ecological Society of America, 2015)Grasslands are inherently dynamic in space and time, evolving with frequent disturbance from fire and herbivores. As a consequence of human actions, many remaining grasslands have become homogenous, which has led to reduced ... -
Spatiotemporal representation of cardiac vectorcardiogram (VCG) signals
(BioMed Central, 2012-03-30)Background: Vectorcardiogram (VCG) signals monitor both spatial and temporal cardiac electrical activities along three orthogonal planes of the body. However, the absence of spatiotemporal resolution in conventional VCG ... -
Spectral induced polarization (SIP) response of biodegraded oil in porous media
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of different oil saturation (0.2–0.8), wetting conditions (water-wet and oil-wet), and the addition of asphaltene on the spectral induced polarization (SIP) ... -
Speed Eleusis: variation on an old educational card game
(American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), 2020-03)In this article, we describe a fun and engaging card game called Speed Eleusis that teaches the process of scientific discovery and publication, including such practices as replication and retraction. Much like the traditional ... -
Spiritual connectedness through prayer as a mediator of the relationship between Indigenous language use and positive mental health
(American Psychological Association (APA), 2021-01-01)Objective: The objective of this study is to understand how Indigenous language and spirituality revitalization efforts may affect mental health within Indigenous communities. Although Indigenous communities experience ... -
Sporogonic development of cultured Plasmodium falciparum in six species of laboratory-reared Anopheles mosquitoes
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1994)Sporogonic development of cultured Plasmodium falciparum was compared in six species of Anopheles mosquitoes. A reference species, A. gambiae, was selected as the standard for comparison. Estimates of absolute densities ... -
Sporozoite transmission by Anopheles freeborni and Anopheles gambiae experimentally infected with Plasmodium falciparum
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 1992)A micro-membrane feeding technique was used to evaluate sporozoite transmission for Anopheles freeborni and An. gambiae experimentally infected with Plasmodium falciparum. From cohorts of infected mosquitoes with equivalent ... -
Spring temperatures influence selection on breeding date and the potential for phenological mismatch in a migratory bird
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-09-15)Climate change has affected the seasonal phenology of a variety of taxa, including that of migratory birds and their critical food resources. However, whether climate-induced changes in breeding phenology affect individual ... -
Statistics anxiety and statistics self-efficacy in doctoral online statistics: A mixed methods study
(2020-08)Using concurrent mixed methodology, this study explored how doctoral students experience high statistics anxiety and low statistics self-efficacy as they worked through an accelerated, online introductory statistics course. ... -
Steering clear of the rocks: A look at the current state of oral history ethics in the digital age
(Oxford University Press, 2013-03-07)In recent conversations about ethics in oral history, most of the topics tend to fall into two main categories-legislated or voluntary. Interactions with Institutional Review Boards and the nature and content of consent ... -
Step-based physical activity metrics and cardiometabolic risk: NHANES 2005-2006
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2017-02)Purpose: This study aimed to catalog the relationships between step-based accelerometer metrics indicative of physical activity volume (steps per day, adjusted to a pedometer scale), intensity (mean steps per minute from ...
