Thermal disruption of soil bacterial assemblages decreases diversity and assemblage similarity
(2019)
The metabolic theory of ecology assumes that rates of selection and adaptation for organisms are functions of temperature. Niche theory predicts that strong selection pressure should simplify assemblages as species are ...
Developmental Effects on Auditory Neural Oscillatory Synchronization Abnormalities in Autism Spectrum Disorder
(2019-07-25)
Previous studies have found alterations in 40 Hz oscillatory activity in response to auditory stimuli in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The current study sought to examine the specificity and developmental ...
Enacting Hope through Narratives of Indigenous Language and Culture Reclamation
(2019)
In globalizing landscapes, Indigenous ways of knowing and being persist in their connectedness to specific geographies, even as they are transformed by migrations, both forced and voluntary, and dynamic exchanges. This ...
Patient-Centered Care: An Examination of Provider–Patient Communication Over Time
(2019-10-20)
Objective: To examine the quality of provider communication over time considering the increasing emphasis on patient-centered care (PCC). Patient-centered care has been shown to have a positive impact on health outcomes, ...
A Flow Induced Autoimmune Response and Accelerated Senescence of Red Blood Cells in Cardiovascular Devices
(2019-12-19)
Red blood cells (RBCs) passing through heart pumps, prosthetic heart valves and other cardiovascular devices undergo early senescence attributed to non-physiologic forces. We hypothesized that mechanical trauma accelerates ...
“Look No More”: Jonson’s Catiline and the Politics of Enargeia
(2019-03)
In his play Catiline His Conspiracy, Ben Jonson allegorizes Cicero’s fight to save the Roman Republic as a battle against the kind of spectacular drama that, Jonson claimed, his audiences so enjoyed. This metatheatrical ...
Stream Network Geometry and the Spatial Influence of Aquatic Insect Subsidies Across the Contiguous United States
(2019-11-06)
Emergent aquatic insects transport aquatic‐derived resources into terrestrial ecosystems but are rarely studied at landscape or regional scales. Here, we investigate how stream network geometry constrains the spatial ...
Small mammal herbivores mediate the effects of soil nitrogen and invertebrate herbivores on grassland diversity
(2019)
Simultaneous reductions in herbivore abundance and increases in nitrogen deposition have led to radical shifts in plant communities worldwide. While the individual impacts of these human‐caused disturbances are apparent, ...
Discovering Open Access Engineering Journals: An Examination of Indexing Rates for DOAJ and Non-DOAJ Content
(2019-06-20)
This study examines the indexing of open access journals in the engineering disciplines. The sample used in this study was generated from a title listing pulled from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) in late ...
Horizontal Vortex Tubes near a Simulated Tornado: Three-Dimensional Structure and Kinematics
(2019-11-16)
Supercell thunderstorms can produce a wide spectrum of vortical structures, ranging from midlevel mesocyclones to small-scale suction vortices within tornadoes. A less documented class of vortices are horizontally-oriented ...
