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 ...
The Comprehensive Post-Acute Stroke Services (COMPASS) study: design and methods for a cluster-randomized pragmatic trial
(2017-07-17)
Background: Patients discharged home after stroke face significant challenges managing residual neurological deficits, secondary prevention, and pre-existing chronic conditions. Post-discharge care is often fragmented ...
THE EFFECTS OF SILICA FERTILIZER AS AN ANTI-HERBIVORE DEFENSE IN CUCUMBER
(2017-06)
This study aims to improve our understanding of silicon’s role in deterring herbivores from Cucumis
sativa. We hypothesized that silicon’s role in plant defense is due to the presence of silica augmenting other physical ...
The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρ CO 2 on a marine foundation species
(2017-06)
Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect spe- cies is a fundamental concern of modern ecology. Indeed, numerous studies have documented how climate stressors affect species distributions ...
Applying the Socio-Ecological Model to barriers to implementation of ACL injury prevention programs: A systematic review
(2017-09-28)
Background: Preventing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is important to avoid long-term adverse health consequences. Identifying barriers to implementation of these prevention programs is crucial to reducing the ...
A single dose of trichloroethylene given during development does not substantially alter markers of neuroinflammation in brains of adult mice
(2017-04-03)
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a widespread environmental contaminant associated with developmental immu- notoxicity and neurotoxicity. Previous studies have shown that MRLþ/þ mice exposed to TCE from gesta- tion through ...
An Improved Algorithm to Delineate Urban Targets with Model-Based Decomposition of PolSAR Data
(2017-10-11)
In model-based decomposition algorithms using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data, urban targets are typically identified based on the existence of strong double-bounced scattering. However, urban targets ...
Anaerobic utilization of Fe(III)-xenosiderophores among Bacteroides species and the distinct assimilation of Fe(III)- ferrichrome by Bacteroides fragilis within the genus
(2017-08)
In this study, we show that Bacteroides species utilize Fe(III)-xenosiderophores as the only source of exogenous iron to support growth under iron-limiting conditions in vitro anaerobically. Bacteroides fragilis was the ...
Adults and Children in Low-Income Households That Participate in Cost-Offset Community Supported Agriculture Have High Fruit and Vegetable Consumption
(2017-07-08)
This paper examines fruit and vegetable intake (FVI) in low-income households that participated in a cost-offset (CO), or 50% subsidized, community-supported agriculture (CSA) program. CSA customers paid farms upfront for ...
