This article proposes a novel methodology by impregnating SiO₂ precursor solution into the heat-treated wood to improve the mechanical properties.

Presentation for the North Texas Community College Consortium Spring Leadership Conference. This presentation highlights library resources and services available for community colleges.

Article proposes the concept of "perverse adaptation", where one actor or institution's adaptation to climate change in fact produces aftershocks and secondary impacts upon other groups.

This article focuses on filling information gaps regarding adherence to physical activity and exercise in the health care spectrum of older adults (OA) and an overview of the benefits of physical activity for OA. Exercise adherence in OA is a multifactorial problem encompassing many biopsychosocial factors. Factors affecting adherence in the OA include socioeconomic status, education level, living arrangements, health status, pacemakers, physical fitness, and depression. Improving adherence could have a significant impact on longevity, quality of life, and health care costs.

This article reports the first draft genome of Pseudomonas monteilii BCN3, a cyanotroph isolated from sewage sludge.

This commentary article discusses the key questions to be addressed before establishing a library publishing program for scholarly books.

Article investigating the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education. To investigate this issue, the technology adoption and gratification (TAG) model was validated and used to examine Malaysian university teachers' adoption and gratification of ICT for teaching and research purposes and then used to investigate the moderating effect of universities in different regions. This paper confirms the utility of the TAG model for comparing teachers' adoption and gratification of ICT.

This article explores the influence of e-trust, e-health literacy, e-health information seeking, and e-health information consumerism on medical satisfaction and positive health perceptions.

This article proposes that a plant's ability to engage in many different metabolic and molecular networks as well as alter stomatal aperture in order to adapt to their environment is mediated through pulses of gene expression that are coordinated throughout the plant in a systemic manner by the ROS/Ca+2 waves.

This paper presents a new corpus of Wikipedia articles annotated with temporally-oriented possession or tracking concrete objects as they change hands over time.

Presentation for the Dallas Philosophers Forum. This presentation discusses the intertwining of environmentalism in the dharmic practices of traditional grass-roots rural communities such as Bishnois, Bhils, and Swadhyaya.

Article (1) developing a practical framework to extract authorization attributes of hierarchical ABAC system from natural language artifacts, and (2) generating a set of realistic synthetic natural language access control policies (NLACPs) to evaluate the proposed framework.

This article's research builds a continuance usage and location disclosure model from the expectation-confirmation perspective. The effect of benefit expectations on usefulness and satisfaction is hypothesized. In addition, the positive effect of usefulness on satisfaction and continuance intention is postulated. Findings contribute to the current literature in business intelligence by focusing on location disclosure behavior in the context of LBAs and the necessity of this type of information for location intelligence. This article was presented at the 52nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences.

This article builds on agency theory and identify factors that increase the risk of an agency problem between a principal (a human or an organization) and an AI agent and propose a framework for AI agency problem analysis. The framework is illustrated through AI use cases and industry examples. Implications for AI governance research and practice are discussed. It was presented at the 52nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences.

Article describes study where a powder of torreya grandis bark was prepared and analyzed qualitatively and quantitativelyiIn order to explore a new way to utilize said bark.

This article develops a theory of electromagnetic transmission through dielectric-metal superlattices with ultra-thin metal films, in which electron motion in the direction perpendicular to the metal surfaces is quantized.

This article aims to give a summary of the state of the art of non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors used for detection of neurotransmitter that lack an electrochemically active component.

This article proposes the concept of "perverse adaptation", where one actor or institution's adaptation to climate change in fact produces aftershocks and secondary impacts upon other groups. Drawing on ethnographic and sociolinguistic research in northern Arizona regarding artificial snowmaking at a ski resort on a sacred mountain, the author elucidates resort supporters' and others' attempts to frame snowmaking as a sustainable adaptation to drought (and, implicitly, climate change) while counterpoising these framings with narratives from local activists as well as Diné (Navajo) individuals.

This article differentiates between general systems theory (GST) and complexity theory, as well as identifies advantages for the social sciences in incorporating complexity theory as a formal theory. Complexity theory is expanded upon and identified as providing a new perspective and a new method of theorizing that can be practiced by disciplines within the social sciences.

This article is a study evaluating the predictive capabilities of various ab initio methods in the calculation of Gibbs free energies of reaction for [Ln(NO₃)]²⁺ compounds (with Ln = La to Lu), as nitrates are critical in traditional separation processes utilizing nitric acid. The composite methodologies evaluated predict Gibbs free energies of reaction for [Ln(NO₃)]²⁺ compounds within 5 kcal mol⁻¹ in most cases from the target method [CCSD(T)-FSII/cc-pwCV∞Z-DK3+SO] at a fraction of the computational cost.

The article evaluates the impacts of physical, chemical and genetic interventions to improve biomass processing singly and in combination. Based on their results and literature studies, some form of non-biological augmentation will likely be necessary for the foreseeable future to achieve high total carbohydrate solubilization (TCS) for most cellulosic feedstocks. The results show that this need not necessarily involve thermochemical processing, and need not necessarily occur prior to biological conversion.

This article uses a prospective research design to measure both actual and perceived posttraumatic growth in an attempt to replicate and extend previous findings.

Article describes study seeking to determine if theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) to prefrontal cortex modulates visual memory accuracy, visual memory awareness, or both, and whether these effects depend on brain hemisphere.
