Presentation for the 22nd International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD 2019), discussing the use of network analysis to evaluate subjects in the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries' ETD collection.

This was presented at the Brick and Click conference in 2019 at Northwest Missouri State University. It focused on building a diverse collection of resources and creating a welcoming space for all.

This poster assesses the services of library print vendors using turn-around time to fulfill order and discounts off list price as found on the library services vendor's website.

A presentation that was given at the Web Archiving Texas (WATx) 2019 meeting held at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. This presentation discusses the CyberCemetery, a web archive of defunct federal websites hosted by the UNT Libraries.

This article gives an overview of the discovery of small-molecule bioprecursor prodrugs carrying the para-quinol scaffold on the steroidal A-ring that are preferentially metabolized in the CNS to the corresponding estrogens. Selected examples are shown to illustrate that, independently of the route of administrations and duration of treatments, these agents produce high concentration of estrogens only in the CNS without peripheral hormonal liability. 10β,17β-Dihydroxyestra-1,4-dien-3-one (DHED) has been the best-studied representative of this novel type of prodrugs for brain and retina health. Specific applications in preclinical animal models of centrally-regulated and estrogen-responsive human diseases, including neurodegeneration, menopausal symptoms, cognitive decline and depression, are discussed to demonstrate the translational potential of their prodrug approach for CNS-selective and gender-independent estrogen therapy with inherent therapeutic safety.

Study closely examines micronutrient deficiencies among Mexican-American and non-Hispanic black women using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2003-2014.

This is a review of applications of polariton modes related to the design and fabrication of electro-optical circuits. The emphasis is made on surface plasmon-polaritons which have already demonstrated their value in many fields of technology. Other possible quasiparticles as well as their hybridization with plasmons are discussed.

Paper describes the results of a study examining magnesium intake in Hispanic adults, using data from the NHANES from 1999-2014, stratified by gender, Hispanic origins, age, and poverty income ratio (PIR) level.

Study examines the interaction between a key pathogenic HIV-1 viral protein, Nef, and ubiquitin (Ub)-protein ligase E3A (UBE3A).

Article describes study which used an 18S rRNA gene fragment metabarcoding approach to assess the eukaryotic assemblage of 62 individuals representing 16 nonhuman primate NHP species to better understand the factors that influence the assembly and diversity of gut-associated eukaryotes.

Article describes an experiment where a self-organized 2D nanolaminate with an average lamella thickness of ~22 nm was formed in the subsurface of a cold-sprayed WC-reinforced metal matrix composite (MMC) Cu-MoS2-WC during oscillatory sliding, resulting in more stable friction and improved wear resistance.

Article presents a 3D body imaging system built upon stereovision technology which utilizes paired, high-resolution single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras to image the front and back body surfaces of a person, and robust and efficient stereo matching algorithms to reconstruct the 3D surface of the body with high-density data clouds.

Article proposes a three-dimensional fusion hierarchical reconstruction method that utilizes a multi-view feature combination method and a hierarchical prediction strategy to unify the single view and any number of multiple views 3D reconstructions.

Article describes experiment where a coupled resonant acoustic waveguide (CRAW) in a phononic crystal (PnC) was engineered to manipulate the propagation of ultrasonic waves within a conventional phononic bandgap for wavelength division multiplexing.

Article describes a study which demonstrates that it is possible to significantly improve the repeatability of the direct analyte-probed nanoextraction (DAPNe) technique by incorporating a liquid chromatography separation step.

Article describes experiment where CCSD(T) methods in conjunction with correlation consistent basis sets were used to predict the pKa for the deprotonation of methane in a 3d metal ion adduct, [M···CH4]+ (M = Sc–Cu), in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent, which is modeled by the SMD continuum solvent model.

Article describes study in which the density functional theory (DFT) methods were applied to understand the inferior performance of doped graphene in acid.

Article describes study in which "soft heteroepitaxy” is used to exert precise control over the lattice orientation of three-dimensional liquid crystalline soft crystals, thereby granting the ability to sculpt the grain boundaries between them.

Article demonstrates bioconversion of methane to muconic acid, a dicarboxylic acid that can be upgraded to an array of platform chemicals, by three gammaproteobacterial methanotrophs.
