Article detects the presence of a specific pancreatic cancer-derived miRNA (pre-miR-132) using the fluorescence properties of biocompatible nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) synthesized using a bottom-up approach from a single glucosamine precursor. This non-invasive approach allows cancer-specific miRNA detection to facilitate early diagnosis of various forms of cancer.

Article investigating the transgenerational inheritance from both parental lines in zebrafish. Adult zebrafish were separated into female and male groups exposed for 21 days to either a control diet or to a diet containing water accommodated fractions of crude oil. To determine the maternal and paternal influence on their offspring, the authors evaluated responses from molecular to whole organismal levels in both generations.

This article investigates the religious dimension of Republican legislators' participation in one-minute speeches during the 104th Congress (1995-1996).

Article integrating a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film recognition unit with a liquid crystal (LC) in an optical cell transducer to incur the selectivity of liquid crystal-based sensors.

This article reviews the book "Deciphering the Chemical Code: Bonding Across the Periodic Table," by Nicolaos D. Epiotis.

This article discusses quantum entanglement and entropy.

Article describes study analyzing the characteristics of the movement of the gel extinguishing agent micelles by considering the resistance of movement.

Article describes study evaluating the electro-catalytic behavior of recently developed Pt-, Pd-, and Pt/Pd-based metallic glasses using scanning electrochemical microscopy.

This handout accompanies the presentation "Enabling Scholarly Annotation Using Open Frameworks for the Web" given as part of a panel at El'Manuscript-2016. This handout describes the International Image Interoperability Framework and provides links to resources.

Presentation for the 2014 International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) World Library and Information Congress General Conference and Assembly. This presentation discusses Texas newspaper PDF preservation and low-cost solutions with tremendous value.

Article on enzymes of b-ring-deoxy flavonoid biosynthesis in elicited cell cultures of "Old Man" cactus (Cephalocereus senilis).

Article examining the psychometric properties of the self-report version of Proposed Specifiers for Conduct Disorder (PSCD) Scale in a sample of community adolescents in mainland China. Findings provide preliminary evidence for the four-factor structure of the PSCD and support for the utility of the self-report PSCD for measuring psychopathic traits and CD in Chinese adolescents.

Article describes how the biodiversity–ecosystem function hypothesis postulates that higher biodiversity is correlated with faster ecosystem process rates and increased ecosystem stability in fluctuating environments. The authors examined linkages among floodplain wetland habitats, invertebrate communities and their associated traits, and ecosystem function across 60 sites within the floodplain wetlands of the lower Wolastoq, Saint John River, New Brunswick.

Article describes how pectin is a complex polysaccharide present in the plant cell wall, whose composition is constantly remodeled to adapt to environmental or developmental changes. Here, authors describe a quick and efficient gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS)-based method that allows the differential analysis of pectin monosaccharide composition in plants under different conditions or between mutant plants and their respective wild types.

Article describes how yield losses attributed to plant pathogens pose a serious threat to plant productivity and food security. Here, the authors describe two methods to quantify B. cinerea development in Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes through measurements of lesion development and quantification of fungal genomic DNA in infected tissues.

Presentation for the 2015 National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) National Assembly meeting. This presentation discusses the CyberCemetery and preserving at-risk government web content.

This article discusses the enthalpy of solvation correlations for organic solutes and gases dissolved in 2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and ethanol.

This article includes observations and principles to assist managers in their efforts to lead subordinates and themselves through failure.

This article reports the draft genome sequence of a Bacillus bacterium isolated from the microflora of Nostoc colonies grown at the Andean wetlands in northern Chile.
