Designs for improved cookstoves aim to decrease the detrimental environmental and health impacts that are associated with traditional biomass cooking practiced by nearly 40% of the global population. Programs to provide improved cookstoves are found worldwide, and regional testing centers support development of these through emissions testing services. Aprovecho Research...
Cell signaling under external stimulation is a critical mechanism that governs many biological processes such as cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell apoptosis, etc. For multicellular organisms, the ability to synchronize heterogeneous individual cellular responses through intercellular communication is crucial to maintain normal functionality. However, even though the biological pathways...
The question of “what is to be done” about the prevalence of houselessness in large US cities has become a top policy priority, Often left out of these discussions are the opinions of the unhoused about the policies that are designed to serve their needs. Most of the literature that...
Learning to recognize objects is a fundamental and essential step in human perception and understanding of the world.

Rapid and sensitive detection of stress hormones, such as cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), can benefit the diagnosis of diseases related to adrenal gland disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, and more. Stress hormones fluctuate in a circadian rhythm, the highest in the early morning and the lowest at night;...

This spring we conducted the first assessment, gathered a lot of data, and uncovered a few holes in...
Current methods for visualizing forest rely on geospatial and remote sensed data. Such data can be used to create visualization and to perform simulations. Currently, however, these visualizations are often limited to 2D or abstract representations. These methods can be effective for large scale data visualization and low accuracy needs....
NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite, which launched in 2018, carries the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS), a green-wavelength, photon-counting lidar. While ICESat-2’s primary mission focuses on measurement of elevation of ice sheets, glaciers, sea ice, and vegetation, ATLAS has also proven remarkably effective at measurement of bathymetry, or water depths. However,...
This study explores how a platform enables social media influencers to promulgate a consumption ideology. We show how gun influencers, or “gunfluencers,” use Instagram to link products, activities, and meanings to Second Amendment ideology—a gun-centric belief system in the United States colloquially known as “2A ideology.” Through a qualitative study...

Since its establishment in 1950, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded discoveries and innovations that have transformed our lives, from the Internet to Google to MRI machines. In this session, I will provide an overview of NSF’s first new directorate in more than three decades, the Directorate for Technology,...
A variety of important machine learning applications require predictions on test data with different characteristics than the data on which a model was trained and validated. In particular, test data may have a different relative frequency of positives and negatives (i.e., class distribution) and/or different mislabeling costs of false positive...
Thermal oxidation of methyl oleate was studied over a range of temperatures from 50 C to 150 C for periods of time up to 30 min. Degradation was quantitatively followed by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) and liquid scintillation counting of the products of methyl oleate-U-14C heated under a stream of...
Dimethyl sulfide, acetaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, furan, 2-furaldehyde, 2-acetyl furan, and ethyl furoate were produced when pureed strawberries were heated to 120° C. for 30 minutes. Shorter heating periods were sufficient to produce the first three compounds. With the exception of acetaldehyde, none of the heat-induced compounds were detected in unheated, pureed...
Studies involving freeze-dried methyl linolenate-gelatin foams indicate that the extent of lipid-protein interaction corresponds to the degree of autoxidation of the lipid fraction. It appears that approximately 11% of the malonaldehyde as defined by the 2-thiobarbituric acid test is firmly bound to the protein. The induction period of autoxidation is...
The total kinetic energy release and fission mass distributions for the fast neutron (En = 3–100 MeV) induced fission of 232Th, 233U, 235U, 237Np, 239Pu, 240Pu, and 242Pu have been measured using the LANSCE facility. The neutron energies were deduced from time-of- flight measurements. The fission fragments were detected using...
Pesticide chemists have recognized since the 1940's that ultraviolet light was deleterious to the insecticidal properties of certain compounds. However, it has been only within the last 15 years that a number of photodecomposition products of the chlorinated hydrocarbon
insecticides have been isolated and identified. The degradation of insecticides by...
A threshold pattern for the even-numbered free fatty acids (FFA) in butter depended on chain-length. Butyric acid had the lowest total average flavor threshold (AFT) of the more volatile FFA, and the total AFT values increased as chain-length increased through hexanoic and octanoic acids. A soapy after-taste predominated at and...
Eighty-one microbial species isolated from seafoods and other marine sources were examined to determine the extent of interactions among these species. Spot-plates, cross-plates, and concurrent growth experiments at 7, 15, 20, and 30 C indicated that Lactobacillus species were capable of inhibiting other microorganisms. Lactobacillus species isolated from oysters and...
This investigation was a trial to check the possibility of developing a frozen blackberry puree dessert. A blend of different varieties and selections of blackberries, as it may be expected in commercial production was preferred to provide the fruit-puree-mix.
Several stabilizers bearing different commercial names were added to the fruit...

Tenure has often been situated as a non-negotiable tenet of modern academia, a status granted after a probationary period and extensive review, and critical for academic freedom. However, the processes by which promotion and tenure (P&T) are vetted depart in practice from the meritocratic ideal that is frequently used to...
