Physical and optical properties of the International Simple Glass (open access)

Physical and optical properties of the International Simple Glass

This article presents physical property data (both published and previously unpublished) on a single batch of International Simple Glass (ISG), which was cast into individual ingots that were distributed to the collaborators. Properties from the atomic scale to the macroscale, including composition and elemental impurities, phase purity, density, thermal properties, mechanical properties, optical and vibrational properties, and the results of molecular dynamics simulations are presented, as well as information on the surface composition and morphology after polishing. Although the existing literature on the alteration of ISG is not extensively reviewed here, the results of well-controlled static alteration experiments are presented here as a point of reference for other performance investigations.

Does the left aorta provide proton-rich blood to the gut when crocodilians digest a meal? (open access)

Does the left aorta provide proton-rich blood to the gut when crocodilians digest a meal?

Article measuring blood parameters in the left aortae and atria of crocodilians. The findings do not support the hypothesis that a R–L shunt serves to deliver CO2 for the gastrointestinal system after feeding in crocodilians.

Lipoxygenase-mediated Oxidation of Polyunsaturated N-Acylethanolamines in Arabidopsis (open access)

Lipoxygenase-mediated Oxidation of Polyunsaturated N-Acylethanolamines in Arabidopsis

Article hypothesizing that lipoxygenase (LOX) participated in the metabolism of PU-NAEs through the formation of NAE-oxylipins. The data suggests that Arabidopsis LOXs indeed compete with FAAH to metabolize PU-NAEs during seedling establishment. Identification of endogenous amide-conjugated oxylipins suggests potential significance of these metabolites in vivo, and FAAH mutants may offer opportunities to address this in the future.

pedagogy4liaisons

This website is a digital annotated bibliography that contains resources for the subject librarians and liaisons at the UNT Libraries. This repository is a digital copy of an annotated bibliography produced for the UNT Libraries’ Subject Librarian Workgroup. This digital platform allows for collaboration between the UNT liaisons to produce a list of resources for self-directed learning in pedagogy and theory in librarianship that may inform librarianship practices at the UNT Libraries.

Simulation Of An Antihydrogen Gravity Experiment Utilizing Multiple Apertures (open access)

Simulation Of An Antihydrogen Gravity Experiment Utilizing Multiple Apertures

The article presents an analytical model and a Monte Carlo simulation of an antihydrogen gravity experiment that would employ multiple apertures. The model was developed with the primary goal of reducing the experimental run time necessary to determine the direction of free fall acceleration for antimatter in the gravitational field of the Earth. The experiment would confine cryogenic antihydrogen plasma for producing antihydrogen (e.g., by three-body recombination).

Electrostatic storage ring with focusing provided by the space charge of an electron plasma (open access)

Electrostatic storage ring with focusing provided by the space charge of an electron plasma

Article describes an electronic storage ring that employs the space charge of an electron plasma for focusing. An advantage of the present concept is that slow ions, or even a stationary ion plasma, can be confined. The concept employs an artificially structured boundary, which is defined at present as one that produces a spatially periodic static field such that the spatial period and range of the field are much smaller than the dimensions of a plasma or charged-particle beam that is confined by the field.

Accelerator-based fusion with a low temperature target (open access)

Accelerator-based fusion with a low temperature target

This article reports a study of a cold target with a high Fermi energy in light of recent research that points to a new phase of hydrogen, which is hypothesized to be related to metallic hydrogen. It has been shown that if the energy transfer between injected ions and target electrons is sufficiently small, net energy gain can be achieved. As such, the target is considered to be composed of nuclei and delocalized electrons.

Dual levitated coils for antihydrogen production (open access)

Dual levitated coils for antihydrogen production

Article on theoretical and experimental efforts to use dual levitated coils to confine relatively large, cold, dense non-drifting recombining antihydrogen plasmas. The theoretical effort includes the development of a classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulation of confinement. The experimental effort includes levitation of a NdFeB permanent ring magnet, which produces a magnetic field that is qualitatively similar to the field that would be produced by the two coaxial superconducting magnetic coils.
