Article describes study in which researchers determined molar refractions of tris(acetylacetonato)chromium(III), tris(acetylacetonato)iron(III) and tris(acetylacetonato)cobalt(III).

The article focuses on a study of an electron-positron plasma in thermal equilibrium within a uniform magnetic field using a classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulation. The cross-magnetic-field single-particle diffusion coefficient is evaluated as a function of the magnetic field strength and plasma temperature. The transport rate is found to increase by many orders of magnitude as the plasma temperature is lowered, for a magnetic field strength of 1 T. The sharp dependence on temperature is due to electrons and positrons becoming temporarily correlated and drifting across the magnetic field before dissociating.

This roadmap article presents an overview of the current state of computational materials prediction, synthesis and characterization approaches, materials design needs for various technologies, and future challenges and opportunities that must be addressed.

Article using zebrafish as a model and identifies that trypsin induces an aversive response in zebrafish larvae and adult zebrafish. Results show that the trypsin activates PAR2 on keratinocytes signaling the brain, and this pathway of trypsin-induced escape response will provide a unique communication mechanism in zebrafish.

This article investigates the efficacy of direct amplification of DNA from bloodstains, saliva stains, and touch samples using microFLOQ® Direct swabs and the GlobalFiler™ Express system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA).

Article describes how genetic variation accounts for much of the risk for developing a substance use disorder, but the underlying genetic factors and their genetic effector mechanisms are mostly unknown. To test their genetic hypothesis, the authors generated and characterized Nav1 knockout mice.

Article describes how induction of high photosynthetic capacity is a key acclimation response to high light for many herbaceous dicot plants. Here, a systems biology approach was utilized to characterize the induction of high photosynthetic capacity in strongly and weakly acclimating Arabidopsis thaliana accessions.

Article describes how biophotons are an ultra-weak emission of photons in the visible energy range from living matter. The authors study the emission from germinating seeds using an experimental technique designed to detect light of extremely small intensity.

This article identifies misconceptions in microbiology held by undergraduate students upon entry into an introductory, general microbiology course.

Article demonstrating the adaptively molecular discrimination of xylene isomers by employing a NbOF52−-pillared metal–organic framework (NbOFFIVE-bpy-Ni, also referred to as ZU-61) with rotational anionic sites.

Data management plan for the grant, "MRI: Acquisition of a High Performance Hybrid Computer Cluster for Computational Modeling." Research grant for the purchase, installation, and operation of a new high-performance computing (HPC) resource, called CRUNTCH4, to be deployed at the University of North Texas’ (UNT) Center for Advanced Scientific Computing and Modeling (CASCaM). This much needed HPC resource combines different computing architectures and significant amounts of data storage, all connected via a high-speed communications fabric. This computing resource will provide the means for CASCaM investigators to continue research on a broad range of topics including quantum chemistry, materials design, biomolecular simulations, machine-learning based chemical discovery, and bioinformatics, among others.

This article is a response to a comment on the authors' original article "Disentangling Orbital and Valley Hall Effects in Bilayers of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides." The authors' response concludes that they do not believe the main points of the original Letter are affected by the Comment.

Article describes how the processes responsible for the assembly of cold and warm gas in early-type galaxies (ETGs) are not well understood. The authors report on the multiwavelength properties of 15 non-central, nearby ETGs primary through Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) and Chandra X-ray observations, to address the origin of their multiphase gas.

Authors of the article discuss how MetaLP was developed here for protein inference in metaproteomics using an integrative linear programming method. Authors claim that MetaLP could substantially improve protein inference for complex metaproteomes by incorporating taxonomic abundance information in a linear programming model.

This article is a review examining the characteristics that make an animal model attractive for developmental research and explores opportunities presented by the embryo to adult continuum of alternative bird models including quail, ratites, songbirds, birds of prey, and corvids.

This article presents the synthesis and characterization of a hybrid vanadium-organic coordination polymer with robust magnetic order, a Curie temperature TC of ~110 K, a coercive field of ~5 Oe at 5 K, and a maximum mass magnetization of about half that of the benchmark ferrimagnetic vanadium(tetracyanoethylene)~₂ (V·(TCNE)~₂).

Article presents the simulations of an electrostatic quadrupole quadruplet (EQQ) lens system that will be used in a new sub-micron multi-ion beam for radiobiological studies.

Data management plan for the grant, "LLELA Quail Program: Quail in the Park Cities? Restoring a functional quail population to a small rangeland system in the Dallas Metroplex."

Article describes an experiment in which a Ge metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor based on HfGdON/Ge gate stacks with an ALD-driven passivation layer was fabricated, and compares it's interfacial and electrical properties with those of its counterparts that have not undergone passivation treatment.

This article examining the correlation between pulmonary compliance, lung volume, and lymph flux rates in anurans. The findings of this article suggest that lymph mobilization capacity may explain some of the variation in pulmonary compliance and lung volume in anurans.

This paper from the 2016 Conference on Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry conference proceedings describes the use of a classical trajectory simulation to study the formation of an antihydrogen beam by transporting an antiproton beam through an electron-positron plasma that produces magnetobound positronium.

Data management plan for the grant "Elucidating Cyclic Fatty Acid Biosynthesis and Compartmentalization to Improve Cottonseed Value." Cotton is an important oilseed crop in the U.S. economy. Cotton seed and other vegetative tissues produce unusual chemicals called cyclic fatty acids that have wide-ranging potential uses from high-value industrial properties to nutrition-oriented uses. This project focuses on identifying genes that contribute to the production and storage of these high value bioproducts.

Article presents a rigorous and systematic study of the band alignment of semiconductors in aqueous solutions by contrasting a range of hybrid explicit/implicit models against explicit atomistic simulations based on density-functional theory.
