Article describes study in which weathering and suspended matter fluxes of the Langtang Narayani river system in central Nepal Himalaya were investigated at 16 stations for one year, based on monthly water sampling in the lower reaches and bi-monthly in higher elevation areas, to determine temporal variations of weathering fluxes along an elevation profile between 169 and 3989 m asl.

This article explores networked learning technologies and the development of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs). The study examines and explains hybrid MOOCs and focuses on the use of bot-teachers within a post-humanist perspective. The research findings reveal that, while the use of bot-teachers is beneficial in terms of facilitating and increasing discourse/interaction, it is ineffective in providing other components of teaching presence. Yet ultimately, learners' positive behaviors indicate that bot-teachers hold promise as an educational tool.

This poster describes an exercise in an undergraduate nutrition class that meets Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) social responsibility objectives and is assessed using a rubric adapted from the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU) VALUES rubrics. It was presented at the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior 51st Annual Conference held in Minneapolis, Minnesota from July 21-24, 2018.

Article describes experiment in which juvenile alligators were exposed to 12‰ saltwater for 5 weeks to determine the effects of chronic exposure to saline environments.

This article addresses the question of how teams cope with environmental threats by investigating two drivers of team resilience: the team size and the density of social interactions among team members.

This article discusses the process of collaborative authorship as mentorship, demonstrated through the 3D Printed History of the Book Education (3Dhotbed) project.

Article discussing an investigation of the reaction of H + CS₂ products. The reaction was found to be pressure dependent and in the fall-off region or near the low pressure limit. Transition state theory yields an estimate for the high-pressure limit of addition over 290–300 K of 1.3 × 10−9 exp( −7.2 kJ mol −1 /RT) cm3 molecule −1 s −1. Uncertainties are discussed in the text.

This paper attempts to understand what is required to be a data librarian by applying a content analysis approach to job advertisements by hiring professionals in academic libraries in the United States.

This article explores the methods of using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology to obtain point cloud data and estimate individual tree height and diameter at breast height (DBH) at plot level in regions with complex terrain.

Article discussing an experimental and kinetic modeling study of the interaction between C₂H₂ and NOx under flow reactor conditions in the intermediate temperature range (600–900 K), high pressure (50–60 bar), and for stoichiometries ranging from reducing to strongly oxidizing. The results show that presence of NOx serves both to sensitize and inhibit oxidation of C₂H₂.

This article studies the design of a transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) assisted high entropy alloy (HEA) with enhanced strength using two strands of motiviation.

Presentation for the 2018 STEM Librarians South conference. This presentation. This presentation shares experiences from the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries’ workshops to prepare STEM graduate students to write their dissertation or thesis proposals.

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.

Presentation discussing some of the challenges college students with autism face, possible academic supports, and how apps can play a role in supporting learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It was presented at the UNT Kristin Farmer Autism Center's 10th annual Adventures in Autism Intervention and Research Conference held on July 28, 2018 in Denton, Texas.

Presentation for the Tulsa City-County Library. This presentation discusses how government information can be used for genealogical research and example information types found within government documents.

This article observes the mechanical properties of bamboo plastic composites (BPCs) with bamboo pulp fiber (BPF) or white mud (WM).

This article argues that the development of rap song lyrics or lyrical concept mapping can be a viable pedagogical alternative to the development of concept maps as a means to reinforce STEM vocabulary.

This article explores current research progress on the mechanism and influencing factors of formaldehyde emission from wood-based panel. The research provides technical support to improve interior decoration and furniture design.
