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 presentation covers the background and definition, stakeholder roles, policy frameworks, challenges and opportunities, and current/emerging trends in Open Access and Scholarly Communication.

Article discusses the determination of the spectrum of two interesting stochastic matrices appearing in an engineering paper.

Article analyzes the origins of the complex Fe 2p X-Ray Photoelectron Spectra (XPS) of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) and is related to the character of the bonding in this compound. This analysis provides a new and novel view of the reasons for XPS binding energies (BEs) and BE shifts, which deepens the current understanding and interpretation of the physical and chemical significance of the XPS. This article is part of the JCP Special Topic on Oxide Chemistry and Catalysis.

Article theoretically demonstrates a single low frequency gas detector that can be used for sensing of gas mixtures with high selectivity, accuracy, and sensitivity.

Article describes survey identifying opportunities for hydrologic modeling and monitoring to support overlapping management contexts.

Article explores degradation of Portland concrete and finds that the combination of fly ash with polymers provides significantly improved properties.

Article explores the question of whether animals with switched phenotypes during early development are unable to return to a normal range of adult phenotypes, or whether they do not experience the specific environmental conditions necessary for them to switch back to the normal range of adult phenotypes.

Poster discussing practical methods for ensuring the quality of descriptive metadata associated with linguistic datasets in language archive deposits. Digital language archives are valuable tools for facilitating language revitalization, providing data on lesser-known languages, and supporting reproducibility of research and development of linguistic theory, though their potential remains unrealized as the data available in language archives are rarely accessed by linguists or language communities. Reasons for this under-utilization are the issues with data standardization and metadata quality. Including basic grammatical and typological information would allow wider audiences to reach the material.

Article examines the nature of the super-short vowel-like segments between the C- prefixes of the Lamkang language by combining acoustic analysis with speakers' intuitions about syllable structure. The authors argue that an accurate phonetic description of Lamkang vowels must include these super-short vowels, as well as long and short vowels, which are phonemically distinct.

Poster exploring the representation of race/ethnicity, disability, and gender identification of doctoral psychology students in the U.S. compared to national population figures. It was presented at the 2020 Midwinter Meeting of the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology held on January 17-18, 2020 in Austin, Texas.

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.

This article describes a new methodology for monitoring sucrose labeling using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). To date, the most commonly used method to monitor sucrose labeling is by nuclear magnetic resonance, which requires substantial amounts of biological sample.

Poster examining if gender differences exist for two common anxiety symptom categories: mood (e.g. nervousness) and somatic (e.g. sweating). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted to examine gender differences in anxiety symptomology and yielded no significant differences in anxiety severity based on gender. A pattern was present of more somatic symptoms than mood symptoms for both males and females, and males reported lower rates of anxiety symptomology combined when compared to women.

Article highlights the importance of pectin in cell wall integrity and the value of lignin modification as a tool to interrogate the informational content of plant cell walls.

Poster on study that gathered an updated assessment of student perceptions' of diversity training and climate. It was presented at the 2020 Midwinter Meeting of the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology held on January 17-18, 2020 in Austin, Texas.

Article describes study analyzing the effects of a new purine derivative drug, PDD005, in attenuating mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, using both in vivo and in vitro models.

Article describes study analyzing the chemical components of elliptical kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch) using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS) technologies.

Article describes the development of a physics-based molecular force field (PMFF) by integrating a set of potential energy functions in which each term in an intermolecular potential energy function is derived based on experimental values, such as the dipole moments, lattice energy, proton transfer energy, and X-ray crystal structures.

Article explores the importance of investigating the impact of trust on intention to purchase from both successful and unsuccessful purchase cases in order to provide a more balanced view of the critical role of trust in e-commerce transaction decisions.

Article is a study examining how emotional arousal influences information diffusion in social media using a sentiment mining approach. The authors propose a research model and test it using data collected from Twitter.

Paper describes study examining the effects of an 8-week fundamental motor skills-based afterschool program on physical and cognitive health outcomes among elementary children.

Poster discussing the role of ethnicity in the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicidality. Research indicates an increased risk of suicide and suicidal behavior among individuals with PTSD. Latinx groups, in particular, have lower rates of suicide injury death in comparison to non-Latinx groups. These findings do not explain increased suicidality in non-Latinx clients, but is congruent with the Latinx health paradox, the contradictory finding of better health outcomes for Latinx despite known additional disadvantages.

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.
