Space-charge-based electrostatic plasma confinement involving relaxed plasma species (open access)

Space-charge-based electrostatic plasma confinement involving relaxed plasma species

In this article, a numerical study is reported on the equilibrium properties of a surface-emitted or edge-confined non-drifting plasma. A self-consistent finite-differences evaluation of the electrostatic potential is carried out for a non-neutral plasma that follows a Boltzmann density distribution.

Ending the Evidentiary & Insurance Reimbursement Bias Against Neurofeedback to Treat Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: It Will Take Clinician Action in Addition to the Compelling Science (open access)

Ending the Evidentiary & Insurance Reimbursement Bias Against Neurofeedback to Treat Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: It Will Take Clinician Action in Addition to the Compelling Science

This article argues against the treatment of Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with stimulant medication and behavior therapy, which are also typically reimbursed by healthcare insurers. Evidence suggests that these treatments fail to result in sustained benefit for the vast majority of children who receive them as demonstrated in the NIMH-funded MTA Cooperative study, the gold standard study in ADHD treatment effectiveness research. The authors instead look at the use of neurofeedback which is uniquely suited to treat the neuronal dysregulation that is common in people diagnosed with ADHD. However, healthcare insurers do not regularly cover this treatment method, so the authors direct readers to resources to appeal insurers' denial of coverage for neurofeedback.

Rapid embryonic accretion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the brain of an altricial bird with an aquatic-based maternal diet (open access)

Rapid embryonic accretion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the brain of an altricial bird with an aquatic-based maternal diet

This article communicates the results of a study conducted on red-winged blackbirds where brain phospholipid composition during development was measured and diet was manipulated. The dietary study confirmed that nestling brains are sensitive to fatty acid supply. The findings of this article suggest that Red-winged blackbirds may be able to advance cognitive development relative to other altricial species owing to their aquatic maternal diet.

On Comparing the Similarity and Dissimilarity Between Two Distinct Vehicular Trajectories (open access)

On Comparing the Similarity and Dissimilarity Between Two Distinct Vehicular Trajectories

This article studies the problem of comparing the similarity and dissimilarity between two distinct vehicular trajectories by proposing an adjacency-based metric. This approach has a broad application in building truthfulness by comparing the similarity between two vehicles and evaluating the dissimilarity between two distinct paths in hazardous materials transportation.

Maternal anemia and childhood cancer: a population-based case-control study in Denmark (open access)

Maternal anemia and childhood cancer: a population-based case-control study in Denmark

Article asserts that anemia in pregnancy is a common condition, especially in low-income countries, but a possible association between maternal anemia and childhood cancer has not been widely studied. In a separate analysis within the years available (births 1995–2014), the authors examined cancer risks among mothers taking prescribed vitamin supplements, using data from the National Prescription Register.

Corrosion Behavior of Selectively Laser Melted CoCrFeMnNi High Entropy Alloy (open access)

Corrosion Behavior of Selectively Laser Melted CoCrFeMnNi High Entropy Alloy

The article focuses on a study that widens the toolbox to manufacture HEAs with exceptional corrosion resistance by additive manufacturing. CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloys (HEAs) were additively manufactured (AM) by laser powder bed fusion and their corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was studied by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. A systematic study of AM CoCrFeMnNi HEAs’ porosity under a wide range of laser processing parameters was conducted and a processing map was constructed to identify the optimal laser processing window for CoCrFeMnNi HEAs.

Effect of pressure quenching on the structures and properties of borosilicate glasses: Insights from molecular dynamics simulations (open access)

Effect of pressure quenching on the structures and properties of borosilicate glasses: Insights from molecular dynamics simulations

Article describes how processes including hot compression, cold compression and subsequent annealing on the structures and properties are investigated and compared. They found that applying pressure up to 10 GPa at the glass transition temperature led to permanent densifications and a dramatic increase of elastic moduli by 90%, while thermal annealing reversed the increase and applying pressure at ambient temperature did not increase the modulus.

Cataloging for Makerspaces

Poster on cataloging items for makerspaces. Makerspace items may be difficult for library users to find if they are not fully cataloged. Cataloging not only facilitates discovery but also provides information needed to track usage, create programming, generate recommendations, and support collection development. Attend this poster presentation for an overview of descriptive and subject cataloging for makerspace items. It was presented at the Cross Timbers Library Collaborative (CTCL) 2021 conference held virtually on July 23, 2021.

Scaling of axial muscle architecture in juvenile Alligator mississippiensis reveals an enhanced performance capacity of accessory breathing mechanisms (open access)

Scaling of axial muscle architecture in juvenile Alligator mississippiensis reveals an enhanced performance capacity of accessory breathing mechanisms

Article describing the anatomy of the trunk muscles, their properties that determine muscle performance (mass, length and physiological cross-sectional area [PCSA]) and investigating their scaling in juvenile Alligator mississippiensis spanning an order of magnitude in body mass (359 g–5.5 kg). Findings support existing anecdotal evidence that crocodilians shift their breathing mechanics as they increase in size.
