Article describing optical absorbers based on vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), synthesized using electric-field assisted growth that show an ultra-low reflectance, 100X lower compared to the benchmark, a diffuse metal black - Au-black - from wavelength λ ~ 350 nm – 2500 nm.

Article describes SERCA activity in the pectoralis muscle and heart ventricle of red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) nestlings, fledglings and adults. Additionally, using a diet manipulation, the authors tested the hypothesis that muscle SERCA activity is affected by dietary fatty acid composition, as has been shown in some previous studies.

Article describes study in which researchers mapped the torsional surface of n-pentane to 10-degree resolution at the CCSD(T)-F12 level near the basis set limit.

Article proposes a performance metric and evaluates an existing adaptation process that dynamically adjusts to optimal network performance determined by Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) mechanism with mobile users.

This article seeks to support researchers by concisely reviewing key statistical assumptions associated with substantive statistical tests across the general linear model. Additionally, the article reviews techniques to check for statistical assumptions and identifies remedies and problems if data do not meet the necessary assumptions.

Article discusses establishing numerous sets of generalized second order paramertic sufficient optimality conditions for a semiinfinite discrete minmax fractional programming problem, while the results on semiinfinite discrete minmax fractional programming problem achieved based on some partitioning schemes under various types of generalized second order univexity assumptions.

Article provides an overview of issues in cohesive surface formulation that are of interest to the author.

Article detailing a correction made to the previously published article "Behavioral Artistry: Examining the Relationship Between the Interpersonal Skills and Effective Practice Repertoires of Applied Behavior Analysis Practitioners"

This article is part of a series of Editorials published biannually that highlights a number of recently published articles that describe crucial findings.

This article evaluates the safety of continuous infusion ketorolac which is sometimes utilized for analgesia in postoperative coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the primary outcome of mortality and secondary outcomes of incidence of bleeding and myocardial infarction (MI). No association was found between continuous infusion ketorolac and increased risk of mortality, MI, or bleeding events in postoperative CABG patients.

Sixth in a series of biannual editorials published in the journal Molecules.

An online article about LGBT history, especially in regards to the Catholic popes of the past.

Paper from the Web-Scale Classification: Classifying Big Data from the Web Workshop. This paper proposes novel features that result in effective and efficient classification models for automatic identification of research articles.

This article systematically calculates polyicosahedral (plh) Ag₃₂X₆ (X = 3d transition metals) core-shell structures by the density functional theory (DFT) method to predict their electrocatalytic activities for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions.

This article extends previous studies of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)'s measure of residents' training progress to examine the validity of ACGME International competency measures for an international setting across emergency medicine (EM) and neurology, and across evaluators.

This article describes the ideal nature of the Catechyl lignin (C-lignin) via a revised compositional characterization of the vanilla seed coat fiber, new features of the C-lignin's reactivity and stability, and successful attempts at converting it to monomers in near-quantitative yields.

This article explores consumers' perceptions of sustainability labels on apparel products and examines sustainability labels as an effective means of determining consumers' purchase intentions using the technology acceptance model.

This article investigates the contributions of genetic and plastic components for differences in body shape in two species of Lake Malawi cichlids using wild-caught specimens and a common garden experiment.

This article characterizes molluscs assemblages in Róbalo bay, identifying spatial-temporal changes in assemblage composition, species richness, abundance, functional groups, and diversity of molluscs species.

This article describes an artificial nest experiment to assess the impact of predators on daily survival rates of artificial bird nests in three different habitat types.

This article identifies and addresses a curious and persisting omission in the sociological literature on Calvinism, as specifically expounded in sociological journals.

This article discusses a novel risk equation for estimating new infections among Females who Sell Sex (FWSS), their clients, and communities.

This article examines the complex issue of workplace gossip with the intention of providing managers with a deeper understanding of the various functions gossip serves within organizations.

The 9977 General Purpose Fissile Package (GPFP) was designed in response to the adoption of the crush test requirement in the US regulations for packages for radioactive materials (10 CFR 71). This presentation on crush testing of the 9977 GPFP Reviews origins of Crush Test Requirements and implementation of crush test requirements in 10 CFR 71. SANDIA testing performed to support the rule making is reviewed. The differences in practice, on the part of the US Department of Energy from those required by the NRC for commercial purposes, are explained. The design features incorporated into the 9977 GPFP to enable it to withstand the crush test and the crush tests performed on the 9977 are described. Lessons learned from crush testing of GPFP packagings are given.
