Numerical techniques to find optimal input parameters for achieving mean particles’ temperature and axial velocity in atmospheric plasma spray process
(Nature Research, 2020)We numerically find values of four process input parameters, namely, the argon flow rate, the hydrogen flow rate, the powder feed rate, and the current, that yield the desired mean particles’ temperature and the mean ... -
Focal stimulation of the temporoparietal junction improves rationality in prosocial decision‑making
(Nature Research, 2020)We tested the hypothesis that modulation of neurocomputational inputs to value-based decisionmaking affects the rationality of economic choices. The brain’s right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) has been functionally ... -
Tracheostomy and Gastrostomy in Geriatric Trauma Associated With High Postdischarge Mortality
(Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc., 2020)The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term mortality of adult and geriatric trauma patients who undergo tracheostomy and/or gastrostomy tube placement after severe trauma. Our hypothesis is that geriatric trauma ... -
Value of Platelet Distribution Width and Mean Platelet Volume in Disease Activity Score of Rheumatoid Arthritis
(Dove Press, 2020)Background and Objective: Disease activity score 28 (DAS28) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the commonly used DAS; it relies on clinical parameters that could be subjective. This work aimed to create a more accurate DAS ... -
Probing Neurovisceral Integration via Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Heart Rate Variability
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-25)The neurovisceral integration model (NVM) proposes that an organism’s ability to flexibly adapt to its environment is related to biological flexibility within the central autonomic network (CAN). One important aspect of ... -
Complementarity increases production in genetic mixture of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) throughout planted range
(ESA, 2020-09-01)Increased genotypic diversity has been associated with increased biomass production in shortrotation tree species. Increasing the genotypic diversity of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) in an attempt to increase productivity ... -
Differential pathogenesis of Usutu virus isolates in mice
(PLOS, 2020-10-12)Usutu virus (USUV; Flavivirus), a close phylogenetic and ecological relative of West Nile virus, is a zoonotic virus that can cause neuroinvasive disease in humans. USUV is maintained in an enzootic cycle between Culex ... -
Understanding the relationship between land use and land cover and malaria in Nepal
(PAGEPress, 2020-07-11)Malaria is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change have been found to affect the transmission of malaria in other regions, but no study has examined such relationships in ... -
Multilevel Analysis of Factors Associated with Left Behind Children in China
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2020-09-24)With the rapid development of urbanization in China, a growing number of rural workers migrate to urban cities for employment opportunities with leaving their children at home. These children are called left behind children ... -
Spatial scale and structure of complex life cycle trematode parasite communities in streams
(PLOS, 2020-11-24)By considering the role of site-level factors and dispersal, metacommunity concepts have advanced our understanding of the processes that structure ecological communities. In dendritic systems, like streams and rivers, ... -
A Novel Method and Exoskeletons for Whole-Arm Gravity Compensation
(IEEE, 2020-08-17)We present a new method for providing gravity compensation to a human or robot arm. This method allows the arm to be supported in any orientation, and also allows for the support of a load held in the hand. We accomplish ... -
An elbow exoskeleton for haptic feedback made with a direct drive hobby motor
(Elsevier, 2020)A direct drive motor is one of the simplest mechanisms that can be used to move a mechanical joint. In particular, a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor with no gearing produces a low parasitic torque due to its ... -
Characterization of the F Locus Responsible for Floral Anthocyanin Production in Potato
(Genetics Society of America, 2020-08-27)Anthocyanins are pigmented secondary metabolites produced via the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway and play important roles in plant stress responses, pollinator attraction, and consumer preference. Using RNA-sequencing ... -
On-farm Evaluation of Strawberry Cultivars in Coastal Virginia
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2020-12)Strawberries (Fragaria ananassa) are one of the major high-value crops in North America. There is increasing interest in commercial strawberry production for local markets in Virginia and surrounding states, but information ... -
Survival of MS2 and Φ6 viruses in droplets as a function of relative humidity, pH, and salt, protein, and surfactant concentrations
(PLOS, 2020-12-08)The survival of viruses in droplets is known to depend on droplets’ chemical composition, which may vary in respiratory fluid between individuals and over the course of disease. This relationship is also important for ... -
Detection of fish movement patterns across management unit boundaries using agestructured Bayesian hierarchical models with tag-recovery data
(PLOS, 2020-12-07)Tagging studies have been widely conducted to investigate the movement pattern of wild fish populations. In this study, we present a set of length-based, age-structured Bayesian hierarchical models to explore variabilities ... -
Artificial Intelligence for the Future Radiology Diagnostic Service
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-28)Radiology historically has been a leader of digital transformation in healthcare. The introduction of digital imaging systems, picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), and teleradiology transformed radiology ... -
Dance on the Brain: Enhancing Intra and Inter-Brain Synchrony
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-07)Dance has traditionally been viewed from a Eurocentric perspective as a mode of self-expression that involves the human body moving through space, performed for the purposes of art, and viewed by an audience. In this ... -
Instructional Readiness in the Inclusive STEM Classroom
(2020-12)Since the implementation of school inclusion, STEM educators have been tasked with serving an increasing number of students with disabilities in their classrooms. Often this requires that STEM educators and Special educators ... -
Centennial Review: The chicken yolk sac is a multifunctional organ
(Elsevier, 2020-12-08)The yolk sac (YS) consists of the yolk, which supplies nutrients, and the YS tissue, which surrounds the yolk and provides essential metabolic functions for the developing embryo. The YS tissue is derived from the midgut ...
