Use of biochar as a soil amendment to reduce potentially toxic metals (PTMs) phytoavailability
(IntechOpen, 2020-05-19)
The contamination of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) is widespread in the world and has negatively affected plants, humans, soil health, and environmental quality. Some metals are essential plant nutrients but they are ...
Sampling probes affect bulk density and soil organic carbon measurements
(American Society of AgronomyCrop Science Society of AmericaSoil Science Society of America, 2020)
Soil sampling equipment can be a major source of bias in soil organic carbon (SOC) stock estimations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of sampling probes on soil bulk density (BD) and SOC stocks ...
Implicit solvation using the superposition approximation (IS-SPA): extension to polar solutes in chloroform
(2020-09-29)
Efficient, accurate, and adaptable implicit solvent models remain a significant challenge in the field of molecular simulation. A recent implicit solvent model, IS-SPA, based on approximating the mean solvent force using ...
Rickettsia parkeri and Candidatus Rickettsia andeanae in Amblyomma maculatum group ticks
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2020-02)
We determined prevalence of Rickettsia spp. in 172 ticks of the Amblyomma maculatum group collected from 16 urban sites in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, during 2017 and 2018. Most ticks (59.3%) were collected from 1 site; ...
Landscape and anthropogenic factors associated with adult Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in small cities in the southern Great Plains
(MDPI AG, 2020-10-13)
As mosquito-borne diseases are a growing human health concern in the United States, the distribution and potential arbovirus risk from container-breeding Aedes mosquitoes is understudied in the southern Great Plains. The ...
Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding ticks, tick-borne pathogens, and tick prevention among beef producers in Oklahoma
(Society of Southwestern Entomologists, 2020-06)
Tick-borne diseases are increasing in the United States, with regional need to understand how knowledge of ticks translates into preventative behavior among specific occupational groups. Little is known regarding what ...
Times in physical activity and sedentary behavior associated with awareness and knowledge of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
(Paris Scholar Publishing, 2020-01-01)
Objective: In this study, we examined the associations between awareness and knowledge of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and device-based measures of physical activity (PA). Methods: Overall, 222 college ...
On the stress-induced photon emission from organism: I, will the scattering-limited delay affect the temporal course?
(Springer Nature, 2020-08-27)
Much remains to be identified for the temporal course of stress-induced photon emission (PE) from organism following stress of various types including but not limited to light. Induced PE concerns surface light emission ...
Residue management in double-crop systems: Impact on soybean growth and yield
(Wiley, 2020-03)
Double-crop soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] have the potential to be a productive and profitable system. However, due to delayed planting, double-crop soybeans frequently experience lower yields and higher stress. Because ...
