Topographic Thresholds and Soil Preservation along the Southern High Plains Eastern Escarpment, Northwest Texas, USA
(2020)The eastern escarpment of the Southern High Plains (USA) is today a semi-arid erosional landscape delineated by canyon breaks and topographic relief. A series of buried soils were identified, described, and sampled at 19 ... -
Late Quaternary Stratigraphy and Geochronology of the Spring Creek Drainage along the Southern High Plains Eastern Escarpment, Northwest Texas
(2021)The eastern escarpment breaks of the Southern High Plains of Texas are both a geomorphic and ecotonal transition zone from the high plains surface to the Rolling Plains below. The geoarchaeological record on the Southern ... -
Aerial Photogrammetry in the American West: Documenting the Construction of Cattle Water Tanks by Texas Cowboys
(2021)Aerial photogrammetry is increasingly being used to discover, document, and interpret the cultural heritage of landscapes. Information on the constructed cultural heritage left behind by the first cattle ranchers in the ... -
Bioinspired and biomimetic membranes for water purification and chemical separation: A review
(2021)Bioinspired and biomimetic membranes that contain biological transport channels or attain their structural designs from biological systems have been through a remarkable development over the last two decades. They take ... -
Seed-to-seed early-season cold resiliency in sorghum
(2021)Early planted sorghum usually experiences cooler day/night temperatures, which may result in delayed growth, floral initiation, and infertile pollen, limiting productivity in high altitudes and temperate regions. Genetic ... -
Genetic variation among 481 diverse soybean accessions, inferred from genomic re-sequencing
(2021)We report characteristics of soybean genetic diversity and structure from the resequencing of 481 diverse soybean accessions, comprising 52 wild (Glycine soja) selections and 429 cultivated (Glycine max) varieties (landraces ... -
Mechanical zonation of rock properties and the development of fluid migration pathways: implications for enhanced geothermal systems in sedimentary-hosted geothermal reservoirs
(2021)Oil and gas operations in sedimentary basins have revealed the occurrence of significant temperature anomalies at depth, raising the possibility of major geothermal resource potential in the sedimentary sequences. The ... -
Students’ implicit epistemologies when working at the intersection of engineering and the arts
(2021)Background: This paper explores the epistemologies and discourse of undergraduate students at the transdisciplinary intersection of engineering and the arts. Our research questions focus on the kinds of knowledge that ... -
Supercritical carbon dioxide decellularization of plant material to generate 3D biocompatible scaffolds
(2021)The use of plant-based biomaterials for tissue engineering has recently generated interest as plant decellularization produces biocompatible scaffolds which can be repopulated with human cells. The predominant approach for ... -
Direct Dynamics Simulations of the Thermal Fragmentation of a Protonated Peptide Containing Arginine
(2020)Arginine has significant effects on fragmentation patterns of the protonated peptide due to its high basicity guanidine tail. In this article, thermal dissociation of the singly protonated glycine-arginine dipeptide (GR-H+) ... -
Size-Controlled Capacity and Isocapacity Concentration in Freundlich Adsorption
(2020)The Freundlich isotherm is a classic model widely used to analyze the equilibrium of solution-phase adsorption. Further analysis of the adsorption mechanism has, however, been hindered by the empirical nature of the ... -
De novo transcriptome analysis of white teak (Gmelina arborea Roxb) wood reveals critical genes involved in xylem development and secondary metabolism
(2021)Background: Gmelina arborea Roxb is a fast-growing tree species of commercial importance for tropical countries due to multiple industrial uses of its wood. Wood is primarily composed of thick secondary cell walls of ... -
Biochemical and structural characterization of analogs of MRE11 breast cancer-associated mutant F237C
(2021)The MRE11–RAD50–NBS1 (MRN) protein complex plays a vital role in DNA double strand break sensing, signaling, and repair. Mutation in any component of this complex may lead to disease as disrupting DNA double strand break ... -
Data-driven identification of subtypes of intimate partner violence
(2021)Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a complex problem with multiple layers of heterogeneity. We took a data-driven approach to characterize this heterogeneity. We integrated data from different studies, representing 640 ... -
Integrated population modelling reveals potential drivers of demography from partially aligned data: a case study of snowy plover declines under human stressors
(2021)Knowledge of demography is essential for understanding wildlife population dynamics and developing appropriate conservation plans. However, population survey and demographic data (e.g., capture-recapture) are not always ... -
Optimizing the SSD Burst Buffer by Traffic Detection
(2020)Currently, HPC storage systems still use hard disk drive (HDD) as their dominant storage device. Solid state drive (SSD) is widely deployed as the buffer to HDDs. Burst buffer has also been proposed to manage the SSD ... -
Review of the Neotropical water scavenger beetle genus Tobochares Short & García, 2007 (Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae, Acidocerinae): new lineages, new species, and new records
(2021)The water scavenger beetle genus Tobochares Short & García, 2007 currently contains ten species, including one known but formally undescribed taxon. Although Tobochares was revised in 2017, ongoing fieldwork as well as an ... -
Novel per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in an active-use C6-based aqueous film forming foam
(2022)Studies have identified hundreds of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) using high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and there is increasing reliance on HRMS with suspect ... -
Projected impact of sea-level rise and urbanization on mottled duck (Anas fulvigula) habitat along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Texas through 2100
(2021)Coastal wetlands along the Gulf of Mexico support a wide diversity of wildlife, are important nurseries for sport and commercial fisheries, provide erosion and flood control, and serve many other ecological functions and ... -
