No acclimation: instantaneous responses to temperature to maintain homeostatic photosynthetic rates under experimental warming across a precipitation gradient in Ulmus americana
(Oxford University Press, 2020)Past research has shown that plants possess the capacity to alter their instantaneous response of photosynthesis to temperature in response to a longer-term change in temperature (i.e. acclimate). This acclimation is ... -
Self-assembly of reversed bilayer vesicles through pnictogen bonding: water-stable supramolecular nanocontainers for organic solvents
(2020)A new air and moisture stable antimony thiolate compound has been prepared that spontaneously forms stable hollow vesicles. Structural data reveals that pnictogen bonding drives the self-assembly of these molecules into a ... -
Desocialization of taxes: A taxation system proposal for Venezuela

Model evaluations of multipactor suppression in rectangular waveguides through grooved surfaces and static magnetic field
(2021)Mitigation of multipactor in waveguides is of importance, and strategies have included the addition of external fields, materials engineering, or surface modifications. Here, geometry modifications of rectangular waveguide ... -
Stimulus control of odorant concentration: Pilot study of generalization and discrimination of odor concentration in canines
(MDPI, 2021)Despite dogs’ widespread use as detection systems, little is known about how dogs generalize to variations of an odorant’s concentration. Further, it is unclear whether dogs can be trained to discriminate between similar ... -
Rational irrationality: A two stage decision making model
(Asia University, Taiwan, 2021)This paper proposes a mathematical two-stage decision making model based on dual-decision models from behavioral economics that includes, in addition to cognitive and affective systems, an individualistic human factor ... -
Identification and segmentation of pre-cancerous cervix lesions for automated diagnosis of Cervical Neoplasia
