In-hospital mortality trends among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in the United States between 2013-2017: a comparison of academic and non-academic programs
(2020-11-07)Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating condition characterized by progressive lung function decline and early mortality. While early accurate diagnosis is essential for IPF treatment, data evaluating ... -
Innovative Controller Design for a 5MW Wind Turbine Blade
(2018-06-29)The development and evaluation of a nonlinear pitch controller for wind turbine blades and the design and modeling of an associated actuator and controller was examined. The pitch actuator and controller were modeled and ... -
Insights into Diversity in the Environmental Health Science Workforce
(2022-02-07)Environmental Health Science (EHS) professionals protect the public from environmental threats by conducting risk assessments and recommending preventative measures based on scientific findings. The EHS field itself is ... -
Interclutch variability in egg characteristics in two species of rail: Is maternal identity encoded in eggshell patterns?
(2022-01-13)Maternal signatures are present in the eggs of some birds, but quantifying interclutch variability within populations remains challenging. Maternal assignment of eggs with distinctive appearances could be used to non-invasively ... -
Investigating the Use of Virtual Reality Headsets for Postural Control Assessment: An Instrument Validation Study
(JMIR Publications, 2020-10-11)Accurately measuring postural sway is an important part of balance assessment and rehabilitation. Although force plates give accurate measurements, their costs and space requirements make their use impractical in many ... -
Lack of complex type N-glycans lessens aberrant neuronal properties
(2018-06)Modifications in surface glycans attached to proteins via N-acetylglucosamine-β1-Nasparagine linkage have been linked to tumor development and progression. These modifications include complex N-glycans with high levels of ... -
Lexical diversity in Parkinson’s disease
(2015-03-02)Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative syndrome of the basal ganglia (BG) believed to disrupt cortical-subcortical pathways critical to motor, cognitive and expressive language function. Recent studies ... -
Life in a contaminant milieu: PPCP mixtures generate unpredictable outcomes across trophic levels and life stagest
(2019-12-05)Nearly all aquatic ecosystems are affected by sublethal levels of anthropogenic chemical contamination, but other agents of large‐scale anthropogenic disruption of ecosystems have received more attention. Consequently, ... -
Long-term nutrient enrichment of an oligotroph-dominated wetland increases bacterial diversity in bulk soils and plant rhizospheres.
(2020-05-20)In nutrient-limited conditions, plants rely on rhizosphere microbial members to facilitate nutrient acquisition, and in return, plants provide carbon resources to these root-associated microorganisms. However, atmospheric ... -
Long-term nutrient enrichment, mowing, and ditch drainage interact in the dynamics of a wetland plant community.
(2020-10-16)Fertilization studies have elucidated basic principles of the role of nutrients in shaping plant communities and demonstrated the potential effects of anthropogenic nutrient deposition. Yet less is known about how these ... -
m6A Regulates Breast Cancer Proliferation and Migration through Stage-dependent Changes in Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Gene Expression
(2023-11-07)While many factors have been implicated in breast cancer progression, effective treatments are still lacking. In recent years, it has become clear that posttranscriptional regulation plays a key role in the aberrant gene ... -
Mammogram Uptake among Korean American Women in the South: Do Health Beliefs Matter?
(2022-11-17)Background: Breast cancer is commonly diagnosed in Korean American women (KAW), and its incidence rates continue to increase. Despite the increasing burden of breast cancer diagnosis, screening rates among KAW remain low. ... -
Measuring Workplace Discrimination among Sexual and Gender Minority Workers
(2019-11-01)As inequities in health for sexual and gender minority (SGM; eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender [LGBT]) populations become increasingly well documented, it is important to investigate causes of inequities to ... -
MELPF Version 1: Modeling Error Learning Based Post-Processor Framework for Hydrologic Models Accuracy Improvement
(2019-09-23)This paper studies how to improve the accuracy of hydrologic models using machine-learning models as postprocessors and presents possibilities to reduce the workload to create an accurate hydrologic model by removing the ... -
Microscale structural changes of individual fibrin fibers during fibrinolysis
(2022-01-07)Fibrinolysis is the enzymatic digestion of fibrin, the primary structural component in blood clots. Mechanisms of fibrin fiber digestion during lysis have long been debated and obtaining detailed structural knowledge of ... -
The mismatch between current statistical practice and doctoral training in ecology
(2016-08-17)Ecologists are studying increasingly complex and important issues such as climate change and ecosystem services. These topics often involve large data sets and the application of complicated quantitative models. We evaluated ... -
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015-12-07)Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ... -
Morbihan disease: A diagnostic dilemma: two cases with successful resolution
(2021-06-11)Morbihan syndrome is a rare entity characterized by persistent erythema and solid edema of upper two-thirds of the face. Although its etiology is poorly understood, it is known to have a wide differential diagnosis and is ... -
