Article on kinetic and modeling studies of the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with tetrachloroethylene.

Article describes development of an ultrafine-grained magnesium alloy with an extraordinary strength and ductility combination, exceptional high specific strength, zero yield strength asymmetry and excellent high strain rate superplasticity.

Paper discusses metabolomics studies that link changes in primary or specialized metabolism to the defense responses of plants against bacterial, fungal, nematode, and viral pathogens.

Article on the solubility of anthracene in ternary 2-butoxyethanol + alkane + propanol solvent mixtures.

Article investigating the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education. To investigate this issue, the technology adoption and gratification (TAG) model was validated and used to examine Malaysian university teachers' adoption and gratification of ICT for teaching and research purposes and then used to investigate the moderating effect of universities in different regions. This paper confirms the utility of the TAG model for comparing teachers' adoption and gratification of ICT.

Article describes study examining low- and high-erucic acid accessions of B. napus seeds for the distribution of erucic acid-containing lipids and the gene transcripts encoding the enzymes involved in pathways for its incorporation into triacylglycerols (TAGs) across the major tissues of the seeds.

This article highlights the important role abscisic acid plays in the acclimation of plants to a combination of two different abiotic stresses.

This article is a review discussing the origin, development, and application of the renormalization group (RG) method in a variety of fields from the physical, social and life sciences, in singular perturbation theory, and reveal the need to connect the RG and the fractional calculus (FC). The authors also present recommendations for future research based on this new way of thinking.

Article describes study which assesses the relative accuracy of volunteer water quality data collected by the Texas Stream Team (TST) citizen science program from 1992–2016 across the State of Texas by comparing it to professional data from corresponding stations during the same time period.

This article discusses the low-frequency index of refraction for a two-dimensional metallodialectric photonic crystal.
