This article describes the external morphometrics of shell and radula morphology as performed in two species of micromollusks of the genus Eatoniella in Navarino Island, Chile.

This article discusses potential problems if the widely-applied MP2 approach is used in such situations with basis sets of insufficient size.

This article reports on the first analysis of urushiols in poison ivy stems by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI).

Article explores the ‘membrane pacemaker’ hypothesis which proposes a biochemical explanation for among-species variation in resting metabolism, based on the positive correlation between membrane docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and metabolic rate. The authors tested this hypothesis using a novel model, altricial red-winged blackbird nestlings, predicting that the proportion of DHA in muscle and liver membranes should increase with the increasing metabolic rate of the nestling as it develops endothermy. In support of the membrane pacemaker hypothesis, DHA proportions increased in membranes from pectoralis muscle, muscle mitochondria and liver during post-hatch development. By contrast, elevated dietary DHA had no effect on resting metabolic rate, despite causing significant changes to membrane lipid composition.

Article proposes a strategy called Dynamic Bank Partitioning (DBP), which allocates memory banks to different applications based on their memory access characteristic, and also proposes an adaptive method to dynamically select an optimal page policy for each bank according to the characteristics of memory accesses that each bank receives to further reduce power consumption.

This article describes a course in the City and Regional Planning program at the Ohio State University.

Poster presented at the 2015 Library Publishing Forum. This poster provides an overview of a recently launched scholarly publishing service at the University of North Texas.

Article examining how parents' reports of children’s technology use in the home varies by a child’s gender or grade level. Strategies are provided for teachers, support specialists, and parents to improve how children use technology. Implications for app developers are suggested.

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 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).

Presentation for the 2010 International Association of Music Libraries (IAML) Annual Conference. This presentation discusses jazz producer and broadcaster Willis Conover and the Voice of America.

This article compares the leisure and school-related computer use of students in inclusive classrooms.

Article describing a detailed chemical kinetic model for oxidation of acetylene at intermediate temperatures and high pressure that was developed and evaluated experimentally.

This article highlights a study aimed to investigate neuroprotective mechanisms of HN. We analyzed intracellular Ca²+ levels, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and the MAPKs signal transduction cascade using an in vitro NMDA-mediated excitotoxicity of cortical neurons model.

This article discusses whether a general motor program controls some or all aspects of overhand throwing.

Article hypothesizing that lipoxygenase (LOX) participated in the metabolism of PU-NAEs through the formation of NAE-oxylipins. The data suggests that Arabidopsis LOXs indeed compete with FAAH to metabolize PU-NAEs during seedling establishment. Identification of endogenous amide-conjugated oxylipins suggests potential significance of these metabolites in vivo, and FAAH mutants may offer opportunities to address this in the future.

This article highlights a study aimed at improving the conductivity of polylactic acid (PLA)-based composites by incorporating carbonaceous fillers. The composites with the addition of graphene nanoplatelets (rGO) or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated by the masterbatch melting method in order to improve the dispersion of the two kinds of nano-fillers. The results showed that, with the addition of 9 wt % rGO, the volume electrical resistivity of the composite reached the minimum electrical resistance of 10³ Ω·m, at which point the conductive network in the composites was completely formed.
