Water supply and runoff capture reliability curves for hypothetical rainwater harvesting systems for locations across the U.S. for historical and projected climate conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-03-11)The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled “Assessing climate change impacts on the reliability of rainwater harvesting systems” (Alamdari et al., 2018) [1]. This article evaluated the ... -
Water table depth, surface saturation, and drought response in bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) wetlands
(Springer, 2012)The bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) is known to select wetland areas that are near water with deep mud, but water table dynamics in their habitats have not been well described. We installed and monitored shallow ... -
Watershed-scale retrospective drought analysis and seasonal forecasting using multi-layer, high-resolution simulated soil moisture for Southeastern U.S
(2019-03)Drought assessment at local scales needs a reliable framework capturing both local landscape processes and the watershed-scale hydrological responses. Any such tool, implementable in a near real-time, semi-automated ... -
Weed Management in 2050: Perspectives on the Future of Weed Science
(Weed Science Society of America, 2018-02-21)The discipline of weed science is at a critical juncture. Decades of efficient chemical weed control have led to a rise in the number of herbicide-resistant weed populations, with few new herbicides with unique modes of ... -
Weight management perceptions and clinical practices among gynaecology providers caring for reproductive-aged patients
(Wiley, 2019-03-13)Objective Research suggests that patient and provider conversations about healthy eating and physical activity behaviours may lead to patients’ increased health behaviours, access to dietary and physical activity resources, ... -
What Park Visitors Survey Tells Us: Comparing Three Elevated Parks—The High Line, 606, and High Bridge
(MDPI, 2019-12-22)Many cities have replaced abandoned transportation infrastructure with an elevated park to gain increased economic benefits by developing old fabric. By following this trend, most studies to this point have only focused ... -
What the Dogs Did: Animal Agency in the Soviet Manned Spaceflight Program
(British Society For The History Of Science, 2017-09-07)This paper examines the agency of the dogs used to develop the Soviet manned space flight programme by considering what the dogs did as experimental subjects, as dog technologies, and as individual dogs in the context of ... -
What We Talk about When We Talk about Soil Health
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2018-11-01)Despite a nationwide emphasis on improving soil health in the United States, current measurement protocols have little consistency. To survey assessment practices, we conducted a meta-analysis of cover crop (n = 86) and ... -
Who Is Presidential? Women’s Political Representation, Deflection, and the 2016 Election
(Sage, 2018)In 2016, Hillary Clinton was the first woman to gain the presidential nomination from a major political party in the United States, yet she was unsuccessful. The current study explores barriers to being elected as president ... -
Whole-Ecosystem Experiments Reveal Varying Responses of Phytoplankton Functional Groups to Epilimnetic Mixing in a Eutrophic Reservoir
(MDPI, 2019-01-29)Water column mixing can influence community composition of pelagic phytoplankton in lakes and reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that low mixing favors cyanobacteria, while increased mixing favors green algae and diatoms. ... -
Wildfire and Prescribed Fire Effects on Forest Floor Properties and Erosion Potential in the Central Appalachian Region, USA
(MDPI, 2019-06-08)Short- and long-term impacts of wildland fires on forest floor properties and erosion potential were examined at three locations in the Central Appalachian region, U.S.A. In 2018, two wildfires were investigated within six ... -
Will we cure cancer by sequencing thousands of genomes?
(2013-12-13)The promise to understand cancer and develop efficacious therapies by sequencing thousands of cancers has not occurred. Mutations in specific genes termed oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are extremely heterogeneous ... -
YpeB dimerization may be required to stabilize SleB for effective germination of Bacillus anthracis spores
(2019-07-26)Background Bacillus cells faced with unfavorable environmental conditions undergo an asymmetric division process ultimately leading to the formation of the bacterial spore. In some instances the spore serves as an infectious ... -
μ-Oxido-bis-[hydridotris(tri-methyl-phosphane-κP)iridium(III)](Ir-Ir) bis-(tetra-fluorido-borate) dihydrate.
(Elsevier, 2014-04-01)The title compound, [Ir2H2O(C3H9P)6](BF4)2·2H2O, was isolated from the reaction between [Ir(COD)(PMe3)3]BF4 and H2 in water (COD is cyclo-octa-1,5-diene). The asymmetric unit consists of one Ir(III) atom bonded to three ...
