This conference paper explores how what we perceive differs from what we believe. The authors bring three perspectives together with the aim of seeking meaning in our relationship with our natural “arena” through symbolic metalanguage:1) comprehending a gestalt approach to perception and narratives as metaphor; 2) gaining perceptual reciprocity to enhance our relationship with nature; 3) overcoming the obstacles of misinterpretation and unreliable narratives of the simulacra. It was presented at the 2022 Association of Philosophy and Literature Conference held May 25-28, 2022.

Presentation discussing initiatives at the University of North Texas covering different stages in implementation of Archival Resource Keys (ARKs).

This presentation discusses challenges, approaches, and examples related to the decision to manage titles and place names in a more robust way in the UNT Libraries’ Digital Collections. It was given as part of the Texas Conference on Digital Libraries on May 24, 2022.

This article explores how the assumptions and values we hold are reflected in our reception and circulation of youth-produced texts in ways that colonize youth interests, sensibilities, and aesthetics. This is the accepted manuscript version of the article.

Article explores additive friction stir deposition of AZ31B magnesium alloy with the aid of MELD® technology.

Article describes how although volunteering has been shown to benefit cognitive health, there is a paucity of evidence on informal volunteering and subjective measures of cognitive impairment. The author's study aimed to examine the associations of both formal and informal volunteering with older adults' objective and subjective cognition and explore the moderating role of race/ethnicity in such associations.

Article is a study examining outcomes of a partnership among an academic institution, government agency, community organizations, and emergency management services to implement a falls prevention training program using an Age-Friendly Health Systems approach.

Presentation describing the development of project management systems for digital projects by piloting the open-source software OpenProject. It was presented at the Texas Conference on Digital Libraries 2022 which was held virtually on May 23, 2022.

This article reports the Chandra discovery of the first heavily obscured QSO candidate in the early universe, hosted by a close (≈5 kpc) galaxy pair at z = 6.515.

This article analyzes the historical spatiotemporal behavior of the huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus), an endangered deer endemic to Patagonia. Losing migratory traditions is a major threat, and may explain their presently prevalent skeletal diseases, reduced longevity, and lacking recolonizations for most remaining huemul subpopulations.

Presentation on the hiring process in an academic library from the perspective of the search committee chair and the hired candidate. It includes: drafting a job advertisement, recruiting, candidate review, interviews, making the offer, and onboarding. It was presented at the 2022 Amigos Member Conference that was held virtually on May 11, 2022.

Article reporting a scenario where a translucent Er3+−Yb3+ doped oxyfluoride precursor glass-ceramic (P-GC) becomes transparent with increasing crystal size and crystallinity.

Article presents a study (i) assessing and modeling soil erosion vulnerability based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach in Hoffenthal and KwaMaye communities within the uThukela Catchment, South Africa; and (ii) identifying the relevant sustainable interventions and remedial strategies to combat soil erosion in the study area.

Article comparing the microbial communities of three isolates from different species of the genus Symbiodinium (formerly known as Symbiodinium clade A) with different ecophysiology, levels of interaction with the animal host, and thermal adaptations. Results suggest that bacteria associated or co-cultured with thermotolerant Symbiodinium might play an important role in thermotolerance.

Article examining effects of Low relative humidity (25–35%), and High relative humidity (85–93%) on hatchability, embryonic growth, hematology and blood gases and pH in chicken embryos.

This article reports that a major monomer unit of the lignin polymer can function as a signal molecule to trigger proteolysis of the enzyme L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, the entry point into the lignin biosynthetic pathway, and feedback regulate the expression levels of lignin biosynthetic genes.

Article discusses how fungal specialized metabolites play an important role in the environment and have impacted human health and survival significantly. This review illustrates the biosynthesis of specialized metabolites where the localization of all, or some, of the biosynthetic enzymes have been determined and describes the methods used to identify the sub-cellular localization.

Article presents a study examining the effect of sex-specific resistance exercise (RE)-induced hormonal response on mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy after muscle damage in untrained men and women.

This article presents a study of urban expansion in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei plain based on ALOS Global Digital Surface Model “ALOS World 3D-30 m” (AW3D30 DSM), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DSM, and Landsat 7 ETM+ images. The method proposed in this paper can provide rapid and large-scale statistics to study urban construction expansion in the world.

This article is a study examining the extent to which children's concepts of God correspond with their parents' concepts of God. It also examines how parent-context factors and children's executive functioning relate to parent–child conceptual similarity.

Article presents a study that reveals the dynamics of transcriptomic responses to age- and dark-induced senescence in M. truncatula and identifies senescence-associated TFs that are attractive targets for future work to control senescence in forage legumes.

Article presents research on oxalate catabolism in plants.

Article is a review highlighting the various cell types found in cardiac tissues and how they correspond with current advanced fabrication methods for creating cardiac engineered constructs.
