Article discusses how sensing temperature is important for a wide variety of applications such as control systems and instrumentation which are integral to various industrial sectors and in research settings. The authors emphasize the importance of high sensitivity and reliable methods using a frequency-based approach for detecting temperature changes. In their study, Au rectangular single-arm spiral antennas with varying sizes were fabricated and RF S-parameter measurements were conducted over the frequency range of 300 kHz to 20 GHz. Alongside the experimental measurements, they also present results from their simulation analysis conducted using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) from ANSYS.

This report summarizes an evaluation of the UNT Libraries' Technical Communication-related resources and materials to determine if the collection is adequately serving patron needs. It was generated as part of the UNT Libraries’ contributions to the university’s Academic Program Reviews, which are conducted by the Accreditation office in the Division of Planning. The UNT Libraries’ Collection Assessment Department evaluated collections’ ability to meet the curricular and research needs of the academic programs being reviewed. They assessed current needs based on course descriptions and research outputs, defined the scope of information needed based on this needs assessment, and evaluated the Libraries’ holdings in these subject areas against the usage, qualitative listings, and requests for materials from other libraries. Specific recommendations for collection development are provided based on the results of these analyses.

Article describes how postmenopausal women are severely affected by recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI). The authors perform shotgun metagenomics and advanced culture on urine from a controlled cohort of postmenopausal women to identify urogenital microbiome compositional and function changes linked to rUTI susceptibility.

Article describes how the Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report (CHRT-SR) assesses the risk of suicidal behavior. The authors report its psychometric properties in a representative sample of adolescent outpatients.

Poster on a comparative analysis of data literacy competency frameworks. Seven competency frameworks were selected for in-depth analysis, and the results are compiled in a table. This work is part of an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant. It was presented at the 2022 Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) Annual Conference held October 24-26, 2022.

Article describes a study of the drug Meloxicam in N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP)–aqueous mixtures at several temperatures to expand the solubility database about pharmaceutical compounds in aqueous–mixed solvents. Meloxicam is preferentially hydrated in water-rich mixtures but preferentially solvated by NMP in the composition interval of 0.16 < x1 < 1.00.

Article discusses how the child-caregiver relationship is the foundation for which intervention occurs. The purpose of this study is to explore how researchers and clinicians might collect direct data on IOH to assess the acceptability of an intervention.

Article contains a study that combined multiscale nanomechanical and microstructural mapping to illustrate mechanical signatures associated with hierarchical heat distribution and rapid solidification of laser-powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (L-PBFAM). The presented approach serves as a high throughput methodology to establish the chemistry-processing-microstructure-properties correlation of newly designed alloys for L-PBFAM.

Article describes the compositional dependence and influence of relaxation state on the deformation behavior of a Pt–Pd-based bulk metallic glasses model system was investigated, where platinum is systematically replaced by topologically equivalent palladium atoms. Based on total scattering experiments with synchrotron X-ray radiation, a correlation between the increase in stiffer 3-atom cluster connections and reduction in strain-rate sensitivity, as a measure of ductility, with Pd content and thermal history is suggested.

Article discusses how protein based adhesive is limited by poor mechanical properties and water resistance. This simple and green preparation method provided a new strategy for the production of high-performance, multifunctional and economically effective SM based adhesive.

Article describes post-flame sulfation of gaseous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium chloride (NaCl) was investigated with optical in situ measurements at 850 to 1475°C. The combined experimental data, chemical equilibrium calculations and kinetic modeling of the present study support that sulfation of alkali species can occur in the gas phase through homogeneous reactions.

Article proposes a gap waveguide (GW)-based 4 × 4 dual-band, dual-circularly polarized antenna array. The combination of dual-band, dual-circularly polarized capability, high gain, high efficiency, lightweight, low cost and compact size renders the proposed design a potential candidate for commercial millimeter wave communication applications.

Article states that predicting the chemical durability of glass materials is important for various applications from daily life such as cell phone screens and kitchenware to advanced technologies such as nuclear waste disposal and biomedicine. In this work, we explored the prediction of the initial glass dissolution rates using structural features from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for a series of glass compositions (total 28), including ZrO2- and V2O5-containing boroaluminosilicate, borosilicate, and aluminosilicate glasses.

Article discusses how understanding gas flow behavior is crucial in the ability of materials to sense toxic gasses for environmental, industrial, safety, agriculture, and related applications.
