Racial and Gender Diversity Among Students and Faculty in EHAC-Accredited Environmental Health Sciences Programs: Trend Analysis from 2009 to 2021
(2022-07-22)Diversity in the environmental health sciences (EHS) workforce is crucial in providing culturally sensitive services to diverse communities. This may be influenced by academic faculty training a diverse student body in the ... -
Realistic optical cell modeling and diffraction imaging simulation for study of optical and morphological parameters of nucleus
(2016-01)Coherent light scattering presents complex spatial patterns that depend on morphological and molecular features of biological cells. We present a numerical approach to establish realistic optical cell models for generating ... -
Recommendations for active correction of hypernatremia in volume-resuscitated shock or sepsis patients should be taken with a grain of salt: A systematic review
(2018-03-21)Background: Healthcare-acquired hypernatremia (serum sodium >145 mEq/dL) is common among critically ill and other hospitalized patients and is usually treated with hypotonic fluid and/or diuretics to correct a “free water ... -
Reexamining Nebuchadnezzar II’s ‘Thirteen-Year’ Siege of Tyre in Phoenician Historiography
(2022-12-01)This study reexamines a lynchpin of Neo-Babylonian Levantine Phoenician historiography: Nebuchadnezzar II’s purported thirteen-year siege of Tyre in the early sixth century bce. This detail about the length of the siege ... -
Reliability and Validity of the Telephone-Based eHealth Literacy Scale Among Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Survey
(2017)Background: Only a handful of studies have examined reliability and validity evidence of scores produced by the 8-item eHealth literacy Scale (eHEALS) among older adults. Older adults are generally more comfortable responding ... -
Remix as Professional Learning: Educators’ Iterative Literacy Practice in CLMOOC
(2016-03-18)The Connected Learning Massive Open Online Collaboration (CLMOOC) is an online professional development experience designed as an openly networked, production-centered, participatory learning collaboration for educators. ... -
Research recruitment: A case study on women with substance use disorder.
(2021-03-12)Women with substance use disorder may evade research participation because of individual and societal factors. Limited information exists on recruitment of women with substance use disorder. The purpose of this study was ... -
Resolving power of diffraction imaging with an objective: a numerical study
(2017-05)Diffraction imaging in the far-field can detect 3D morphological features of an object for its coherent nature. We describe methods for accurate calculation and analysis of diffraction images of scatterers of single and ... -
Responding to health and social needs of aging Latinos in new-growth communities: a qualitative study
(2017)Background The development of new-growth communities of Latino immigrants in southern states has challenged the traditional health and social service infrastructure. An interprofessional team of service providers, Latino ... -
Risk assessment based on indirect predation cues: revisiting fine-grained variation
(2015-10)To adaptively express inducible defenses, prey must gauge risk based on indirect cues of predation. However, the information contained in indirect cues that enable prey to fine-tune their phenotypes to variation in risk ... -
Risk aversion in the use of complex kidneys in paired exchange programs: Opportunities for even more transplants?
(2022-02-18)This retrospective review of the largest United States kidney exchange reports characteristics, utilization, and recipient outcomes of kidneys with simple compared to complex anatomy and extrapolates reluctance to accept ... -
Screening of biocatalysts for synthesis of the Wieland-Miescher ketone.
(2020-09-16)Lipases, a versatile class of biocatalysts, have been shown to function in non-aqueous media/organic solvents and to possess “promiscuous” catalytic activity for a wide range of organic transformations. In this study, we ... -
Seasonal home range dynamics and sex differences in habitat use in a threatened, coastal marsh bird
(2016-12-22)A comprehensive understanding of spatiotemporal ecology is needed to develop conservation strategies for declining species. The king rail (Rallus elegans) is a secretive marsh bird whose range historically extended across ... -

A SEER Database Retrospective Cohort of 547 Patients with Penile Non-Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Demographics, Clinical Characteristics, and Outcomes
(2023-10-31)Introduction: Little research has investigated the prevalence and distribution of the diverse pathologies of non-squamous cell carcinoma (non-SCC) of the penis. Although rare in clinical practice, these cancers have become ... -
Sensor selection to improve estimates of particulate matter concentration from a low-cost network
(2018-09-08)Deployment of low-cost sensors in the field is increasingly popular. However, each sensor requires on-site calibration to increase the accuracy of the measurements. We established a laboratory method, the Average Slope ... -
A shallow water ferrous-hulled shipwreck reveals a distinct microbial community.
