The time and space variability of wave transformation through a tidal inlet is investigated with radar remote sensing. The frequency of wave breaking and the net wave breaking dissipation at high spatial resolution is estimated using image sequences acquired with a land-based X-band marine radar. Using the radar intensity data,...
Plant species in the family Solanaceae are the usual hosts of potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Triozidae). However, the psyllid has also been shown to develop on some species of Convolvulaceae (bindweeds and morning glories). Developmental success on Convolvulaceae is surprising given the rarity of psyllid species worldwide...
The purpose of this study was to determine what effect, if any, subtitles would have on listeners’
perceptions of expressivity in an operatic performance. Specifically, this study addressed the
following research questions: (1) Will there be differences in perceived expressivity among three
listening conditions (audio only, audio + video, audio...
Deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) ratios in Earth’s hydrologic cycle have long served as important tracers of climate processes, yet the global HDO budget remains poorly constrained because of uncertainties in the isotopic compositions of continental evapotranspiration and runoff. Here bias-corrected satellite retrievals of HDO and H₂O concentrations from the Tropospheric...
This pilot study proposed a method for assessing the
status of vascular flow measured by transcutaneous oxygen pressure
(TcPO2) in the area of the ischium in people with spinal cord
injury (SCI). In a sample of 38 men (two groups: 12 physically
active and 26 sedentary) with thoracic SCI, the...
Digestion of milk proteins in the premature infant stomach releases functional peptides; however, which peptides are present has not been reported. Premature infants are often fed a combination of human milk and bovine milk fortifiers, but the variety of functional peptides released from both human and bovine milk proteins remains...
Two-photon, planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of carbon-monoxide (CO) and two-dimensional thermometry employing two-color, hydroxyl radical (OH) PLIF are used to characterize atmospheric-pressure inverse diffusion flames. These flames are important tools to aid the understanding of secondary reaction zones that may form in gas turbine engines when film-cooling air reacts with...
The use of smart tracers to study hydrologic systems is becoming more widespread. Smart tracers are compounds that irreversibly react in the presence of a process or condition under investigation. Resazurin (Raz) is a smart tracer that undergoes an irreversible reduction to resorufin (Rru) in the presence of cellular metabolic...
Current laboratory methods for determining volume and bulk density of soil clods include dipping saran-coated clods in water (a destructive process due to the permanent coating), performing physical measurements on samples with well-defined geometries, or using expensive equipment and proprietary software (such as laser scanners). We propose an alternative method...
Microglia and reactive astrocytes accumulate in the spinal cord of rats expressing the Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-linked SOD1ᴳ⁹³ᴬ mutation. We previously reported that the rapid progression of paralysis in ALS rats is associated with the appearance of prolifer- ative astrocyte-like cells that surround motor neurons. These cells, designated as Aberrant...
