Price Discovery and Integration of the Peanut Markets in the United States
(2019-05-02)
Currently, the United States is a major supplier in the world peanut market. Using grower level monthly peanut price data from 1982-2018, this study estimates market integration and price discovery patterns among grower ...
Coupling of Ocean Acidification and Ocean Depletion in the Gulf of Alaska
(2019-04-29)
Abrupt deglacial environmental changes are recorded in the North Pacific including the expansion and strengthening of the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Previous workers in the North Pacific proposed a link between OMZ ...
Influence of Aluminum Oxide Nanofuel Additives on the Spray Performance of Alternative and Conventional Jet Fuels at High Ambient Conditions
(2019-04-22)
The increasing demand of air transport has been driving the research interest to reduce the environmental impact of jet fuels combustion. Therefore, in addition to exploring the synthetic alternative jet fuels, nanometer-sized ...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Epibenthic Deep-Sea Megafauna of the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(2019-05-03)
In this study, we assessed the bioaccumulation of oil-derived and man-made pollutants in deep-sea epibenthic megafauna from the northern Gulf of Mexico. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (or PAHs) were measured as representatives ...
Prediction of ICU Readmission Using Clinical Notes
(2019-04-22)
Unplanned readmissions to the ICU result in higher medical costs and an increase in the likelihood of adverse events, extended hospital stays, and mortality. Machine learning models can leverage the large amount of data ...
Phosphonate Functionalized Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Hydrogels for Bone Regeneration
(2019-04-22)
Studies have indicated that the physical and chemical properties of scaffolds alone, without exogenous growth factors, can guide mesenchymal stem cell differentiation toward bone tissue regeneration. Ceramics, containing ...
Plant Functional Traits of Carapa guianensis, a Widespread Tropical Tree, Adapted to Local Climate Conditions at Two Elevations in Costa Rica
(2019-04-29)
Tropical rainforests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world. However, plant species occurrences are highly dependent on localized topography, elevation, and climate. Convergent evolution has been studied ...
Behavioral Factors Governing the Extinction of Ambiguous Threat Cues
(2019-04-22)
The purpose of this experiment was to examine the cognitive mechanisms by which an animal uses associations to learn about temporally ambiguous aversive events. Traditionally, associative learning using forwards conditioning, ...
The Effects of Salinity and Pharmaceuticals on the Physiology of the Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus)
(2019-04-22)
Natural and anthropogenic stressors in the environment, such as salinity and pharmaceuticals, may affect fishes in sublethal ways measurable through non-invasive swim tunnel respirometry. This method quantifies aerobic ...
Regulation of ADV-1 Protein Rhythms by the Transcription Factor CSP-1 in Neurospora crassa
(2019-04-23)
The circadian clock regulates the rhythmic expression of roughly half of the eukaryotic genome at the level of mRNA abundance. However, little is known about how rhythmic phase is regulated (Delaunay & Laudet, 2002). ...
