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 ...
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 ...
The effects of an afterschool STEM program on students’ motivation and engagement
(2017-06-12)
Background: One significant factor in facilitating students’ career intentions and persistence in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields is targeting their interests and motivation before eighth ...
A high-efficiency CRISPR/Cas9 system for targeted mutagenesis in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
(2017-03-03)
The complex allotetraploid genome is one of major challenges in cotton for repressing gene expression.
Developing site-specific DNA mutation is the long-term dream for cotton breeding scientists. The
clustered regularly ...
A second locality for the Namib darkling beetle Onymacris brainei (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera) and first report on its molecular phylogenetic placement
(2017-08-01)
Onymacris brainei Penrith, 1984 – the most recent species of Onymacris to be described – is known only
from its type locality in the Namib Desert, adjacent to the Cunene River in northern Namibia. No additional

Drug-resistance in doxorubicin-resistant FL5.12 hematopoietic cells: elevated MDR1, drug efflux and side-population positive and decreased BCL2-family member expression
(2017-12-06)
Chemotherapeutic drug treatment can result in the emergence of drug-resistant cells. By culturing an interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent cell line, FL5.12 cells in the presence of the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin, we ...
Health effects following subacute exposure to geogenic dust collected from active drainage surfaces (Nellis Dunes Recreation Area, Las Vegas, NV)
(2017-01)
The specific health effects of direct inhalation of fine minerogenic dusts generated by natural soil surfaces remain poorly known and relatively little researched. To learn more about this exposure and its contri- bution ...
Covariates of Identified Stress and Depression among Seasonal Farmworkers
(2017-06-30)
Many noted difficulties of farmworker life result in increased risk for stress and depression. To date, limited research has focused primarily on seasonal farmworkers; much of the prior research examines migrant farmworkers ...
