This article contributes the first utilization of Bandura’s self-efficacy (SE) mechanism in the context of environmental volunteer travel demonstrating how environmental stewardship, hedonic experience, and environmental SE relate to one another in this particular setting

In this article, a topic model was explored using unsupervised machine learning to summarized free-text narrative reports of 77,215 injuries that occurred in coal mines in the USA between 2000 and 2015. Latent Dirichlet Allocation modeling processes identified six topics from the free-text data. The modeling success enjoyed in this exploratory effort suggests that additional topic mining of these injury text narratives is justified, especially using a broad set of covariates to explain variations in topic emphasis and for comparison of surface mining injuries with injuries occurring during site preparation for construction.

This article reports a novel mixed-mode coupled displacive-diffusional transformation resulting in homogeneously distributed intra-granular B2 precipitates within the fcc matrix.

This article focuses on investigating the residual stress values associated with a part fabricated by Selective Laser Melting technology (SLM) when this is subjected further to forces on single point incremental forming (SPIF) operation of variable wall angle.

This article assesses the effects of sterilization in materials manufactured using additive manufacturing by employing a sterilization technique used in the food industry.

Article describes a study in which a novel high-throughput ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method was established to quantify the levels of 19 flavonoids and 15 other phenolic compounds, including acids, aldehydes, and alcohols.

This article studies the marketing practices of predatory journals through the analysis of a a subset of the 1,816 e-mails received by a single university biology faculty member during a 24-month period.

This presentation discusses how the UNT Libraries approaches collection assessment and its follow-up actions. It touches on the nature of collection evaluation in libraries in general and how UNT's assessment strategy employs a subject-oriented perspective in particular. It was presented at the Library Assessment Conference of 2018 in Houston, Texas.

This presentation describes the process of using machine-learning algorithms to identify and extract publications from web archives.

Article assesses the capabilities of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), potential flow (PF), and system-based (SB) methods for course keeping in calm water and regular and bi-chromatic waves for 5415M as a benchmark test case for AVT-161.

Article describes an experiment in which a hot-electron-enabled route to controlling light with dissipative loss compensation in semiconductor quantum light emitters has been realized for tunable quantum optoelectronic devices via a two-species plasmon system.

Article reveal that the systemic transcriptomic response of plants to excess light stress is extensive in the context of systemic acquired acclimation and involves an early (2 min) and transient stage of transcript expression that includes thousands of genes.

This article identifies the principal features in Foias’ original proof and streamlines them into a general result. The result gives further evidence to the observation that the connection between the sequence with initial seed the Foias constant and the Prime Number Theorem must be fortuitous.

Presentation for the 2018 Library Assessment Conference. This presentation describes the assessment of a mentoring program at an academic library.

This article focuses on four structural features of nitrate peptide families/proton-coupled oligopeptide transporters/peptide transporters that have been shown by structural and functional studies to be essential to proton-coupled symport transport.

Article describes an energy-based analysis on the formation and growth of condensate droplets on two-tier superhydrophobic surfaces, which are fabricated by decorating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto microscale fluorinated pillars.

This article reports that local application of light stress to one rosette leaf of bolting Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants resulted in a metabolic response that encompassed local, systemic and transport tissues, demonstrating a high degree of physical and metabolic continuity between different tissues throughout the plant.

This article describes a study to observe and quantify the changes of color on wood surface and microstructure of cell walls after the thermal treatment with water, dilute acid and alkali, and to describe the changes of chemical structure on wood surface after those pretreatments.

This article draws on case analysis to present two frameworks for evaluating two types of business models, and, through open coding and axial coding on eight Chinese cases, identifies the main components for the evaluation frameworks and critical factors within each component. Using the coding results as a lens, the article applies a cross-case comparative data analysis to establish the multi-level evaluation systems and provides suggestions for entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to better their business model design in China’s rural markets.

Article describes a role in Arabidopsis leaf development for two members of the CLAVATA3/ESR‐RELATED peptide family, CLE5 and CLE6, which lie adjacent to each other on chromosome 2.

This article explores research to determine the apparent specific volume of sucrose by measuring the density of sucrose in {cosolvent + water} mixtures at 298.2 K. The study finds that a mean apparent specific volume value of 0.632 cm³.g⁻¹ for sucrose in different aqueous-cosolvent mixtures could be adequate for practical purposes in pharmaceutical industries.

The article is part of a series of Editorials published biannually that highlights a number of recently published articles that describe crucial findings. This article highlights 25 different articles that range from asthma treatment to new oral β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI).

Article presenting a systematic parametrization protocol for the Self-Consistent Continuum Solvation (SCCS) model resulting in optimized parameters for 67 non-aqueous solvents. The parametrization is based on a collection of ≈6000 experimentally measured partition coefficients, which were collected in the Solv@TUM database presented here. The accuracy of the optimized SCCS model is comparable to the well-known universal continuum solvation model (SMx) family of methods, while relying on only a single fit parameter and thereby largely reducing statistical noise.

This article presents a critical comparison of continuum diffuse-layer models that can be coupled to an atomistic first-principles description of the charged metal surface in order to account for the electrolyte screening at electrified interfaces.
