An Experiment Assessing Punitive versus Wellness Framing of a Tobacco-Free Campus Policy on Students’ Perceived Level of University Support
(2017-08-20)
The objective of this study was to examine how different ways of describing a hypothetical tobacco-free campus policy would impact college students’ perceived level of support from the college. In the spring of 2016, we ...
Wetland management strategies lead to tradeoffs in ecological structure and function
(2017-12)
Anthropogenic legacy effects often occur as a consequence of land use change or land management and can leave behind long-lasting changes to ecosystem structure and function. This legacy is described as a memory in the ...
Impaired T cell-mediated hepatitis in peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARα)-deficient mice
(2018-02-15)
Background
Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARα), a regulator of enzymes involved in β oxidation, has been reported to influence lymphocyte activation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ...
protaTETHER – a method for the incorporation of variable linkers in protein fusions reveals impacts of linker flexibility in a PKAc‐GFP fusion protein
(2018-03-14)
Protein fusions are of fundamental importance in the study of cellular biology and the elucidation of cell signaling pathways, and the importance of linkers for the proper function of protein fusions is well documented in ...
Factors Affecting Patient Portal Use Among Low-Income Pregnant Women: Mixed-Methods Pilot Study
(2018-03)
Background: Patient portals offer patients personalized and secure Web access to their medical information and enable patients to manage their health care online. However, there is a lack of information about patient ...

(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 ...
A possible dose–response association between distance to farmers’ markets and roadside produce stands, frequency of shopping, fruit and vegetable consumption, and body mass index among customers in the Southern United States
(2017-01)
Background: The association between farmers’ market characteristics and consumer shopping habits remains
unclear. Our objective was to examine associations among distance to farmers’ markets, amenities within farmers’
markets, ...
The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρCO2 on a marine foundation species
(2017-04)
Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect species is a fundamental concern of modern ecology. Indeed, numerous studies have documented how climate stressors affect species distributions ...
Software for objective comparison of vocal acoustic features over weeks of audio recording: KLFromRecordingDays
(2017-10-09)
KLFromRecordingDays allows measurement of Kullback–Leibler (KL) distances between 2D probability distributions of vocal acoustic features. Greater KL distance measures reflect increased phonological divergence across the ...
