Organic agriculture requires cultivars that can adapt to organic crop management systems without the use of synthetic
pesticides as well as genotypes with improved nutritional value. The aim of this study encompassing 16 experiments was to

Wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities, where forested land boundaries or intermixes with infrastructure, are quickly growing in the US. WUI communities have grown substantially from 1990 to 2010, with an increase of 12.7 million houses and 25 million people. Wildfires encroaching on WUI communities can cause damage to both above ground...
The present study was a program evaluation of KidSpirit that investigated how gymnastics coaches’ growth mindsets changed over an eight week period after a training intervention. A mixed-method approach was used to measure growth mindset and self-determination theory (SDT). There were three aims of this study: (1) participants would improve...

Hypoproteinemia secondary to gastrointestinal disease in horses has traditionally been treated with the administration of colloids such as equine plasma or hetastarch. While plasma transfusion is common, evidence-based guidelines for its use in hypoproteinemic horses are lacking. This study involved prospective and retrospective components that aimed to weigh the efficacy...
An ice cover which progrades over a shallow ocean in the form
of an ice front may induce a baroclinic flow in the underlying water,
provided that the brine excluded from the freezing surface layer is
mixed rapidly through out the underlying water column. A series of
models are developed...
The behavior of mass timber beam-to-column connections under seismic loading is not yet well understood. Mass timber beam-to-column connections must have the ability to maintain load-carrying capacity despite the deformations that will be imposed on all components of the building during seismic events. This behavior is called deformation compatibility. The...
Fire following earthquake (FFE) events are cascading hazards that have caused great damage in the past and pose a continued threat to our communities. The increased risk for fire after a seismic event stems from potential damage to utilities such as gas or fuel pipelines, which can lead to ignition....
