Tillage Management Influence on Microbial Activity and Carbon Cycling Dynamics in Brazos Riverbottom Soil
(2022-04-20)
Conventional tillage (CT) practices can affect the chemical, physical, and biological health of soil, which alter microbial access to carbon (C) and nutrients from crop residues. Few studies investigate how tillage effects ...
Solution Behavior and Charge Transfer Kinetics of Macromolecular Radicals for Energy Storage
(2022-02-22)
Within a few decades, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have revolutionized technologies facilitating the rapid development of new portable devices and electric vehicles. However, this rapid technology growth has exceeded the ...
Validation of Pronghorn Pressure Drop Correlations against Pebble Bed Experiments
(2022-04-27)
The verification and validation of Pronghorn is imperative for predicting the fluid velocity, pressure, and temperature in advanced reactors, specifically high temperature gas-cooled reactors. Pronghorn is a coarse-mesh, ...
Quantitative Probes of Bacterial Physiology
(2022-04-04)
All major processes in living systems depend on energy sources. In bacteria undergoing cellular respiration, the central source of energy is the proton motive force (PMF). In addition to ATP synthesis, the PMF directly ...

(2022-04-19)
Statement of problem. Additively manufacturing (AM) is gaining popularity in dentistry, including the use for interim implant supported fixed dental prostheses. However, evidence regarding the bonding protocols of AM interim ...
The Role of Rhizosphere Bacteria VOCs on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum
(2022-02-23)
Cotton (Gossypium spp), a globally traded commodity, encounters numerous obstacles during the cultivation of both Upland (G. hirsutum) and Pima (G. barbadense) varieties. Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum race 4 (Fov4), ...
The Role of Ultrafine Particulate Matter and Nrf2 in the Pathogenesis of Neonatal Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease at Texas A&M University
(2022-01-20)
Despite increasing movements towards cleaner air regulations, air pollution remains a critical factor in millions of deaths globally every year. Particulate matter (PM) is one of the many types of air pollution, and ultrafine ...
Low-Cost and High Energy Density Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Enabled by Modification of Cell Design and Operating Conditions
(2022-03-23)
Despite the high theoretical capacity of Li-S batteries, a high cell-level energy density and a long cycling life were barely achieved mainly due to a large electrolyte-to-sulfur ratio, polysulfides (PS) shuttle causing ...
