(SpringerOpen, 2017-02-06)Background: This paper presents a deep-dive examination of the cross-boundary data practices of natural resources and environmental scientists in the context of Virginia Tech’s institutional visioning and strategic development ... -
A database for global soil health assessment
(2020-01-13)Field studies have been performed for decades to analyze effects of different management practices on agricultural soils and crop yields, but these data have never been combined together in a way that can inform current ... -
A decision support system for indirect potable reuse based on integrated modeling and futurecasting
(IWA, 2019-04-09)Optimal operation of water reclamation facilities (WRFs) is critical for an indirect potable reuse (IPR) system, especially when the reclaimed water constitutes a major portion of the safe yield, as in the case of the ... -
DeepARG: a deep learning approach for predicting antibiotic resistance genes from metagenomic data
(2018-02-01)Background Growing concerns about increasing rates of antibiotic resistance call for expanded and comprehensive global monitoring. Advancing methods for monitoring of environmental media (e.g., wastewater, agricultural ... -
DeepMicro: deep representation learning for disease prediction based on microbiome data
(Nature Research, 2020)Human microbiota plays a key role in human health and growing evidence supports the potential use of microbiome as a predictor of various diseases. However, the high-dimensionality of microbiome data, often in the order ... -
Defect and structural evolution under high-energy ion irradiation informs battery materials design for extreme environments
(Nature Research, 2020-09-11)Understanding defect evolution and structural transformations constitutes a prominent research frontier for ultimately controlling the electrochemical properties of advanced battery materials. Herein, for the first time, ... -
A Degree Theory for Compact Perturbations of Monotone Type Operators and Application to Nonlinear Parabolic Problem
(Hindawi, 2017-09-12)Let 𝑋 be a real locally uniformly convex reflexive Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual space 𝑋∗. Let 𝑇 : 𝑋 ⊇ 𝐷(𝑇) → 2𝑋∗ be maximal monotone, 𝑆:𝑋→2𝑋∗ be bounded and of type (𝑆₊), and 𝐶 : 𝐷(𝐶) → 𝑋∗ ... -
Delayed diagnosed atypical case of Andersen-Tawil syndrome
(PAGEPress, 2019)Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is characterized by a triad of periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias and distinctive dysmorphic features. Due to its rarity and high degree of clinical and phenotypic variability, a diagnosis ... -
Delayed egg-laying and shortened incubation duration of Arctic-breeding shorebirds coincide with climate cooling
(Wiley, 2017)Biological impacts of climate change are exemplified by shifts in phenology. As the timing of breeding advances, the within-season relationships between timing of breeding and reproductive traits may change and cause ... -
Delmopinol hydrochloride reduces Salmonella on cantaloupe surfaces
(Wiley, 2017-11-15)Since the surfaces of cantaloupes are highly rough or irregular, bacteria can easily attach and become difficult to remove. Appropriate postharvest washing and sanitizing procedures can help control Salmonella and other ... -
Deriving the Reservoir Conditions for Better Water Resource Management Using Satellite-Based Earth Observations in the Lower Mekong River Basin
(MDPI, 2019-12-03)The Mekong River basin supported a large population and ecosystem with abundant water and nutrient supply. However, the impoundments in the river can substantially alter the flow downstream and its timing. Using limited ... -
Describing Medicinal Non-Timber Forest Product Trade in Eastern Deciduous Forests of the United States
(MDPI, 2020-04-12)Eastern deciduous forests in the United States have supplied marketable non-timber forest products (NTFP) since the 18th century. However, trade is still largely informal, and the market scope and structure are not well ... -
Description of future drought indices in Virginia
(Elsevier, 2017-07-20)This article presents projected future drought occurrences in five river basins in Virginia. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) climate models were used ... -
