This article tested the cross-species application of the Affymetrix 600K Chicken SNP array in five species of North American prairie grouse (Centrocercus and Tympanuchus genera). This study study provided evidence for successful cross-species application of the chicken SNP array in grouse which diverged ca. 37 mya from the chicken lineage. As far as the authors are concerned, this is the first reported application of a SNP array in non-passerine birds, and it demonstrates the feasibility of using commercial SNP arrays in research on non-model bird species.

This article focuses on Al0.7CoCrFeNi, a lamellar dual-phase (fcc + B2) precipitation-strengthenable eutectic high entropy alloy. The back-stresses from the coherent L12 precipitate were insufficient to cause improvement in twin nucleation, owing to elevated twinning stress under quasi-static testing. However, under dynamic testing high density of twins were observed.

Article proposes a theory that suggests the quantity of public goods and services is important to citizen satisfaction.

Article discusses experimental results which reveal that the apparent activation-energy for grain-growth in an fcc-based AlxCoCrFeNi high entropy alloy (HEA) system increases from 179 to 486 kJ/mol when the Al content increases from x = 0.1 to 0.3.

Article describes the results of friction stir welding of aluminum and steel, in which heat input and high strain rate deformation during resulted in the diffusion-based formation of a FexAly intermetallic compound (IMC) layer.

This article examines the connections between participants in the illicit drug trade and members of state security forces to understand how they impact everyday understandings of the law. The authors used ethnographic fieldwork in a poor, high-crime district in Argentina and information gathered for a court case involving a drug trafficking group active in the same area as the basis for their research.

Article measuring blood parameters in the left aortae and atria of crocodilians. The findings do not support the hypothesis that a R–L shunt serves to deliver CO2 for the gastrointestinal system after feeding in crocodilians.

This article investigates the psychosocial predictors of physical activity and quality of life (QOL) among Shanghai working adults. Stress and social support from friends were two important sources of self-efficacy, all of which facilitated more physical activity participation. Lower stress, higher social support, and more physical activity may directly increase QOL among Shanghai working adults.

This article develops a deep-learning algorithm for an on-loom fabric defect inspection system by combining the techniques of image pre-processing, fabric motif determination, candidate defect map generation, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

Article proposing a novel reflective building block (unit cell) to work at two arbitrary terahertz frequency bands with independent phase control at each band.

Article describes study where thirty emergency management coordinators from the North Central Texas region were interviewed to examine how they define their roles in hazard mitigation planning; then, grounded theory analysis generated six themes regarding the broad roles they practice.

The article describes a study that tested and confirmed the hypothesis that TRPA1 expressed in the primary sensory afferents may modulate the function of second order NTS neurons. The expression of TRPA1 was detected in presynaptic locations, but not the somata of caudal NTS neurons that did not express TRPA1 mRNA or proteins. Moreover, caudal NTS neurons did not show somatodendritic responsiveness to TRPA1 agonists, while TRPA1 immunostaining was detected only in the afferent fibers.

This article tested the cross-species application of the Affymetrix 600K Chicken SNP array in five species of North American prairie grouse (Centrocercus and Tympanuchus genera). Two individuals were genotyped per species for a total of ten samples and a high proportion (91%) of the total 580 961 SNPs were genotyped in at least one individual (73–76% SNPs genotyped per species).

This article developed a simple photochemical method for making conjoined bi-metallic gold-silver (Au/Ag) nanotwins, a new breed of nanoparticles.

Document proposal for a panel discussion at the Multidisciplinary Information Research Symposium (MIRS-2019). There are five panelists listed with brief descriptions of their topics including the current landscape shaping the future of information, language and power in a global and digital world, partnership, interdiciplinarity, new challenges, as well as new opportunities for LIS research.

Panel presentation for The Multidisciplinary Information Research Symposium (MIRS-2019). The panel brings together diverse stakeholders and explored the current landscape shaping the future of information, language and power in a global and digital world. The combined presentation slides offer summary of panelists' perspectives on partnership, interdiciplinarity, new challenges, as well as new opportunities for LIS research.

Presentation for The Multidisciplinary Information Research Symposium (MIRS-2019). This presentation discusses UNT Libraries’ experience in collaborating with UNT's College of Information (COI) faculty members and providing a real world environment for COI students to practically experience the intersection of people, technology, and information. The presentation highlights the benefits of UNT’s Libraries’ local, state-wide, national, and international projects, ranging from harvesting UNT websites, to the Texas Register archive established through a partnership with the Office of the Texas Secretary of State, to the End-of-Term Presidential Harvest (EOT) and International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC), a global network of experts archiving the web for future generations. All these active and ongoing high profile projects provide a wealth of data and research questions to be investigated.

Presentation for The Multidisciplinary Information Research Symposium (MIRS-2019). This presentation discusses a user study designed to gather perspectives on the digitization and representation of scrapbooks online.

Audio recording of a news segment from News Radio KFB. This episode discusses results from the General Social Survey in relation to religion and spirituality.

This presentation reviews the University of North Texas approach to revamp the philosophy for, and means of supporting, subject librarians as they provide library services to the university community. Crafting a new philosophy of liaison librarianship can be both an exciting and a daunting process. New models of service have emerged that offer exciting opportunities to improve librarian skill sets, clarify expectations of subject librarians, standardize assessment of liaisons, and identify a variety of strategies for providing liaison services.

Article describing an algorithm or computing the detailed surface charge distributions in equilibrium electrostatic situations and in steady-state DC circuits, and discuss the results of the computations of surface charge distributions for several systems.

Presentation for the 2019 Texas Library Association Annual Conference. This presentation describes the use of digital primary resources for undergraduate instruction.

Article exploring the topology of black holes.

The article describes cosmic expansion as correlated with the standpoints of local observers’ co-moving horizons. In keeping with relational quantum mechanics, which claims that quantum systems are only meaningful in the context of measurements, the authors suggest that information gets ergodically “diluted” in our isotropic and homogeneous expanding Universe, so that an observer detects just a limited amount of the total cosmic bits.
