This article presents the first analysis of Buruli ulcer at the village level in southwestern Ghana, where prevalence rates are among the highest globally, and explores fine and medium-scale associations with land cover by comparing patterns both within Buruli ulcer clusters and surrounding landscapes.

This paper from the 23rd Conference on Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry conference proceedings studies the possibility of using a planar artificially structured boundary as a charged particle beam deflector shield via classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulation.

This article compares two pathways to avoidance--instructions and social observation--on subsequent generalization of avoidance behavior, fear expectancy and physiological arousal.

This paper from the 23rd Conference on Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry conference proceedings evaluates the potential of particle induced X-ray emission spectrometry as a tool for future Ozarks chert provenance studies based on its ability to facilitate discrimination of Ozarks chert materials from different geological formations and identification of discrete groups of artifacts from the same geological formation.

This paper from the 23rd Conference on Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry conference proceedings presents a scheme for controlling charge-neutralized beams using a distortion of a magnetic guide field via the presence of two current carrying wires.

This paper from the 23rd Conference on Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry conference proceedings investigates particle transport along null magnetic lines using classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulations, described as a traveling wave and through diffusion equations.

This paper from the 23rd Conference on Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry conference proceedings studies the radial expansion of a low energy positron beam passing through a cold electron plasma within a uniform magnetic field using a classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulation.

This article examines the longitudinal relationship between moving to more socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods and weight gain as a cardiovascular risk factor.

This article presents an analysis of 550 groundwater samples collected from private and public supply water wells drawing from aquifers overlying the Barnett shale formation of Texas.

This article elaborates on a discussion of the emergence of intelligence via criticality as a consequence of locality breakdown, by using criticality for the foundation of a novel generation of game theory making the local interaction between players yield long-range effects.

This article provides a commentary on the article "Feedback stabilizes propagation of synchronous spiking in cortical neural networks" by Moldakarimov, S., Bazhenov, M., and Sejnowski, T.J.

This article describes an investigation in which 30 healthy adults underwent functional neuroimaging while completing an avoidance task in which responses to an Avoidable CS+ threat prevented delivery of an aversive stimulus, but not to an Unavoidable CS+ threat.

Patent relating to nanoscale technology based mixed-signal system design.

This paper from the 23rd Conference on Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry conference proceedings describes an experiment that could be carried out at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator facility to determine the direction of acceleration of antihydrogen in the earth's gravitational field.

This report contains usage statistics of the microforms collection from May 1, 2014-May 31, 2015.

Article on Abraham model correlations for describing solute transfer into 2-butoxyethanol from both water and the gas phase at 298 K.

This two-year project, led by the University of North Texas Libraries, will broaden access to 141 books selected by one of three publishers or by the UNT Libraries for their relevance to the history of Texas and Oklahoma. It will also broaden access to five humanities-related books to be selected once the grant starts. Those books not yet available online through the Gateway to Oklahoma History, Portal to Texas History, or UNT Digital Library websites will be digitized, with full-text searching, and added to the appropriate site. All books will be converted to EPUB and Kindle formats, made available to download with the digitized version online, and added to the UNT Library Catalog and to WorldCat. The project also includes the production of “print-ready” PDFs from the scans of many of the books to allow them to be made available for sale in print again using print-on-demand technology. This proposal was submitted in June 2015 and funded in December 2015 by the National Endowment for the Humanities for $95,599.

Article discussing indexes in award-winning cookbooks and whether the quality of a cookbook is reflected in the quality of its index.

This paper presents a framework to infer spatial knowledge from verbal semantic role representations.

These grant materials were prepared for a project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities Common Heritage program to digitize, preserve, and provide access to community historical records. The award funded digitization of print and media items related to the motion picture history of Denton County and a lecture highlighting Denton’s film history and materials discovered during the program. For this grant, UNT served as the lead institution and collaborated with the Texas Archive of the Moving Image. The grant materials include a history of Denton County’s involvement in film production and distribution, digitization standards, and a work plan for the project. This proposal was funded for $11,840.
