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 paper focuses on how the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries was able to develop a successful partnership with the UNT Office of Innovation and Commercialization (OIC) and move outside the Libraries’ normal sphere of influence to help create a patent internship program for students. The paper is published in the Texas Library Journal Special Edition for Summer 2020, and it was a contributed paper at the Texas Library Association 2020 Virtual Summer of Learning conference.

Article presents thin film analogs of practical catalysts that allow for the implementation of surface characterization tools, including advanced microscopy and operando spectroscopy methodologies.

Article describes how a detailed chemical kinetic model for oxidation of methylamine has been developed, based on theoretical work and a critical evaluation of data from the literature. The mechanism was validated against experimental results from batch reactors, flow reactors, shock tubes, and premixed flames. This is the accepted manuscript version of the published article.

Article examining how religious identities, or the lack thereof, affect intergroup biases in the form of identity-specific topic preferences and topic-sentiment polarization.

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

Presentation is a follow-up on work from the UNT Libraries regarding compiled data from the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and its comparison to UNT holdings. Journal usage data has been added to provide a more complete answer to the original question posed previously. The presentation focuses less on the technology and steps for gathering this data, and more on the results and the limitations of such an analysis. It was presented at the Cross Timbers Library Collaborative Conference held on August 7, 2020.

This article provides an extended analysis of void shape by means of X-ray computed tomography (CT) applied to fused deposition modeling (FDM) samples. Furthermore, a relation between the tensile mechanical properties and digital void measurements is established. The results lead to the formulation of a novel criterion that predicts the mechanical behavior of AM components.

Article filling the regional gap in knowledge of diet composition of the barn owl (Tyto alba) and the long-eared owl (Asio otus). The study was conducted at the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area (LLELA) and examined the remains found in owl pellets collected September 2016 to March 2017.

Article introducing a novel ultrasonic non-destructive and non-invasive elastography method demonstrated to evaluate the mechanical properties of fused deposition modeling 3D printed objects using two-dimensional dynamical elasticity mapping. Based on the recently investigated dynamic bulk modulus and effective density imaging technique, an angle-dependent dynamic shear modulus measurement was performed to extract the dynamic Young’s modulus distribution of the FDM structures. The elastographic image analysis demonstrated the presence of anisotropic dynamic shear modulus and dynamic Young’s modulus existing in the fused deposition modeling 3D printed objects. The non-destructive method also differentiated samples with high contrast property zones from that of low contrast property regions. The angle-dependent elasticity contrast behavior from the ultrasonic method was compared with conventional and static tensile tests characterization. A good correlation between the nondestructive technique and the tensile test measurements was observed.

Article addressing if a new Bayesian framework can be introduced and ways to overcome subjectivity. The authors introduce a new method called Generalized Bayesian Dating (GBD) for inferring dates of language groups from lexical and phonological data. This work has implications for future performance testing in the area of linguistic dating.

Article examining college students’ perceptions of health among foods with no fat relative to foods with different types of fats (unsaturated and saturated). Findings suggest that college students lack knowledge regarding the vital role played by the type and amount of fats within a healthy diet.

This article highlights concerns in recent changes to the Registered Behavior Technician™ certification (RBT®) including the processes of training, supervising, and becoming an RBT®. It then proposes solutions to improve the RBT® certification.

Article examines the effects of a jump rope-based physical activity afterschool program on middle school students’ physical fitness. This article belongs to the special issue Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour and Health Interventions in Children and Adolescents.

Presentation highlights meeting science in the context of libraries with support from a survey conducted by the authors. Topics include the predictors of success for productive meetings, what academic librarian perceptions of effective meeting leadership are, and learn about the “best practices” for meeting participation and leadership. It was presented at the Cross Timbers Library Collaborative Conference held on August 7, 2020.

Article investigating the effect of intense and tapering training periods using different exercise modalities (i.e., Randori – grip dispute practice without throwing technique, Uchi-komi – technique repetition training, and sprinting) on rating of perceived exertion (RPE), well-being indices, recovery state, and physical enjoyment in judo athletes.

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.

This article proposes a three-dimensional (3D) vegetation extraction workflow to extract urban grasses and trees at individual tree level in urban areas using airborne LiDAR and hyperspectral data. Results suggest that two- and three-dimensional urban vegetation extraction could play a significant role in spatial layout optimization and scientific management of urban vegetation.

This video features a presentation by Dr. John Edward Martin on the topic of “Poe & Comics”, as shared during an August 2020 meeting of the Poe Studies Association as part of their monthly Online Forums sessions. In it, Dr. Martin shares a bit of the history of Poe in comics & graphic narrative, some of the scholarship on the subject, and his own scholarly interest in the subject. The presentation is followed by a discussion with other members of the Poe Studies Association.

Article presents the large scale synthesis of solution-processed 2D (CH₃(CH₂)₃NH₃)₂(CH₃NH₃)ₙ − 1PbₙI₃ₙ + 1 (n = 2, 3, and 4) perovskites, a family of layered compounds with composition-tunable bandgap, where inkjet printing was used to fabricate heterostructure, flexible photodetector devices. The flexible, inkjet-printed perovskite 2D heterostructures have significant potential for optoelectronic devices, which can enable broad possibilities with compositional tunability and versatility of the organohalide perovskites.
