Drought-Induced, Punctuated Loss of Freshwater Mussels Alters Ecosystem Function Across Temporal Scales
(2019-07-18)
Punctuated, mass mortality events are increasing for many animal taxa and are often related to climatic extremes such as drought. Freshwater mussels are experiencing increased mass mortality events linked to hydrologic ...
Sex Trafficking in Oklahoma: A look into Demand and the Online Networks of Commercial Sex Purchasers
(2019-11-13)
“Human Trafficking" has become a buzzword which may conjure images of a girl in chains sitting in the corner of a room or action scenes of the popular movie Taken. Is this what human trafficking looks like though? What ...
Evaluation of Power Production Asymmetry during Cycling in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis
(2019-09-17)
Lower limb asymmetries have been observed in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), and have been associated with mobility impairment. An incremental cycling test was performed on a cycle ergometer to determine peak power ...
Searching for dark photon dark matter in LIGO O1 data
(2019-12-10)
Dark matter exists in our Universe, but its nature remains mysterious. The remarkable sensitivity of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) may be able to solve this mystery. A good dark matter ...
Weaving Words: Conceptualizing Language Reclamation through a Culturally-Significant Metaphor

When the Creator called us to our homelands to become a distinct people, Chickasaws received the gift of our language—Chikashshanompa'—with which to speak to each other, the land, the plants, the animals, and the Creator. ...
Passive Processing of Active Nodal Seismic Data: Estimation of Vp∕Vs Ratios to Characterize Structure and Hydrology of an Alpine Valley Infill
(2019-08-15)
The advent of cable-free nodal arrays for conventional seismic reflection and refraction experiments is changing the acquisition style for active-source surveys. Instead of triggering short recording windows for each shot, ...
Can agricultural intensification help to conserve biodiversity? A scenario study for the African continent
(2019-06-21)
Globally, the production of food, feed, bioenergy, and biomaterials has increased considerably during the past decades. This was achieved by the expansion of agricultural land and the intensification of agricultural ...
The Influence of Countermovement Jump Protocol on Reactive Strength Index Modified and Flight Time: Contraction Time in Collegiate Basketball Players
(2019-02-12)
The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate differences in Reactive Strength Index Modified (RSIMod) and Flight Time to Contraction Time Ratio (FT:CT) during the countermovement jump (CMJ) performed without ...
Ethical Priority of the Most Actionable System of Biomolecules: the Metabolome
(2019-10-23)
The metabolome is a system of small biomolecules (metabolites) and a direct result of human bioculture. Consequently, metabolomics is well poised to impact anthropological and biomedical research for the foreseeable future. ...
