This article outlines key advantages of additive friction stir deposition, e.g. rendering fully-dense material in the as-printed state with fine, equiaxed microstructures, identifies its niche engineering uses, and points out future research needs in process physics and materials innovation.

Article presents a new benchmark for natural language inference in which negation plays a critical role and shows that state-of-the-art transformers struggle making inference judgments with the new pairs.

Article reporting a combined experimental and computational study of the optical properties of individual silicon telluride (Si2Te3) nanoplates.

Article discusses the utility of SCED data for trauma research, provides recommendations for addressing challenges specific to SCED approaches, and introduces a tutorial for two Bayesian models—the Bayesian interrupted time-series (BITS) model and the Bayesian unknown change-point (BUCP) model—that can be used to analyze the typically small sample, autocorrelated, SCED data.

This review article calls for establishing the CaMV 35S promoter as a quantitative reference standard for transcription activity in plants.

This article hypothesizes and demonstrates a new mechanism to stabilize the charge separated states via the process of electron exchange among the different acceptor entities in multimodular donor–acceptor conjugates. This work constitutes the first example of stabilizing charge-separated states via the process of electron exchange.

This article investigates the role of the highly conserved α,β-hydrolase enzymes PyiE and ORFZ during the biosynthesis of pyrichalasin H and the ACE1 metabolite, respectively, using gene knockout and complementation techniques. Taken together the results suggest that the α,β-hydrolase enzymes are essential for first ring cyclisation, but the precise nature of the intermediates remains to be determined.

Article is a study using cross-sectional methodology to investigate information sources and knowledge concerning the ZIKV virus among 300 under-served pregnant Latinas recruited from prenatal care clinics in the North Texas region. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression models are used to investigate associations between the primary outcomes and patient characteristics.

Article examines the covalent character of the interaction between the metal cation and the oxygen ligands for two Fe oxides with different nominal oxidation states, Fe(II)O, and Fe(III)₂O₃.

This article offers a response to the impact, value, and application of a manuscript published by Philipsen et al. (Improving teacher professional development for online and blended learning: A systematic meta-aggregative review. Educational Technology and Research Development, 67, 1145–1174. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-019-09645-8, 2019). and its value and application in light of an emergency shift to digital to address a global pandemic.

Article presents research determining event outcomes in social media.

Editorial on the research topic of biofuels and bioenergy.

This article applies a developmental 3-dimensional critical window experimental design for a vertebrate, using time, temperature, and phenotypic response (i.e., variables measured). To assess thermal effects on fish development, the authors examined trout hatchling phenotypes following rearing in constant temperatures (5, 10, 15 and 17.5 °C) and following exposure to increased temperature above 5 °C during specific developmental windows.

This article devised, fabricated, and tested a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film based electrochemical sensor for selective determination of tyramine.

Article studying students' learning of counseling ethics, particularly international students who experience acculturation in the general sense and the acculturation of ethics in the counseling profession specifically.

Article highlighting the promise of extended reality platforms for greater ecological validity in the clinical, affective, and social neurosciences. This article belongs to the Special Issue: A Decade of Brain Sciences.

Article presents research using the Health Belief Model (HBM) to evaluate Hajj pilgrims’ perceptions of health risks, their patterns of receiving health information from various traditional and new media channels and their adoptions or intentions to take health-promoting behavior in light of various challenges.

Article studies the communication styles present in chat interactions of thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs who discuss and develop business models. The authors find that these styles can be reliably predicted, and that the communication styles can be used to predict a number of indices of business success.

Article investigating the formation of hydrophobic layers on wood surface without breaking the wood’s original structure. Results suggested that the nano and micron hollow mesoporous microsphere coating was an effective method to fabricate extremely hydrophobic wood products.

Article exploring the use of pressured and decoctions water to extract anti-diabetic phytochemicals from cinnamon. The extensive metabolite profiling of novel SW and SG extracts and comparison of that with commercially available CC are reported for the first time in this study. The C. zeylanicum, SW accession holds some promise in the management of diabetes.

Article investigates whether translating negation is an issue for modern MT systems using 17 translation directions as test bed and provides a linguistically motivated analysis that explains the majority of the findings. The authors release their annotations and code to replicate analysis here: https://github.com/mosharafhossain/negation-mt.

Article reviews several common areas of focus in quantitative methods with the hope of providing guidance on conducting and reporting quantitative analyses. The review addresses causal inferences, measurement issues, handling missing data, testing for assumptions, dealing with nested data, and providing evidence for outcomes.

This article retrospectively evaluating the association between the timing of homelessness onset (youth versus adult) and mental illness as a reason for homelessness among homeless adults living in homeless shelters and/or receiving services from homeless-serving agencies in Texas and Oklahoma. A better understanding of these relationships could inform needs for early interventions and/or better prepare agencies that serve at-risk youth to address precursors to youth homelessness.

Article providing a research perspective on Giannakas et al.’s (2018) manuscript, “A critical review of 13 years of mobile game-based learning” to serve as a resource to educators navigating the transition to remote learning during the pandemic.
