Drones provide a privileged birds’-eye view for collecting high-resolution imagery formorphometric and behavioral sampling of animals. Biologically meaningful measurements extracted from overhead images require an accurate estimate of altitude, but current commercial drones include inaccurate barometer estimates. Recent proposals for coupling altimeter systems to drones have provided customized, open-source solutions,...
Flexible and printed electronics have become increasingly popular as they make
possible the production of flexible, low-cost, multifunction devices that are
unachievable through traditional manufacturing methods. The printed films are
significantly impacted and thus limited by the existing ink production process.
Herein, an alternate technique of generating high-quality titanium dioxide...
Introduced species may exhibit variations in their preferred climatic niches between
their native and introduced ranges, which can have important implications for the
transferability of distribution models. In the Himalayan ecoregion, little is known about
the geographic distribution and climatic niche overlap between native and introduced
cold-water species. Here, we...
‘Top Shelf’ (Reg. no. XXX, PI YYYY), experimental designation DH162310, is a two-row winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) released by Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in 2023. It is a malting cultivar that is known to be a non-producer of glycosidic nitrile (GN0). Glycosidic nitrile is the precursor to a regulated...
Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are identified in three multiyear equatorial mooring records in Pacific and Atlantic cold tongues to evaluate how TIWs modulate turbulence. At 0◦ , 140 ◦W in the Pacific, TIWs are present in 43% of observations, and are associ ated with elevated vertical shear and a 40%...
The goal of the current study was to examine how specific recent stressors are related to electronic nicotine product use among young adults. Despite increases in electronic nicotine product use among adults, stressors shaping the use of these products remain largely unknown. The current study examined the types and average...
Road racing shoes have recently evolved to incorporate maximal midsole cushioning and an embedded carbon fiber plate. Shoes in this category have been labeled ‘Advanced Footwear Technology’ (AFT) and may significantly contribute to improvements in running economy, in part due to biomechanical changes at the foot and ankle. However, little...
Different educational modalities can affect students in learning challenging engineering concepts. Studies that specifically measure students’ conceptual learning gains have been conducted in face-to-face (F2F) and online modalities, but few direct comparisons have been reported. In this study, we collected data from undergraduate students enrolled in introductory materials science courses...
