Brachypodium distachyon is a close relative of many important cereal crops. Abiotic stress tolerance has a significant impact
on productivity of agriculturally important food and feedstock crops. Analysis of the transcriptome of Brachypodium after
chilling, high-salinity, drought, and heat stresses revealed diverse differential expression of many transcripts. Weighted Gene

The use of electronic cigarettes (often referred to as vapes or e-cigs) has grown rapidly in the past decade. While these devices may not deliver the same level of carcinogens and toxicants as combustible cigarettes, they can deliver nicotine (a known developmental toxicant) as efficiently. Previous work suggests that, during...
Improving the methods used for the detection and estimation of fissile material mass content is essential to nuclear security and safeguards to ensure special nuclear material (SNM) accountability, control, safety and security. With the continued expansion of the nuclear industry and the need for safe management of spent fuel, improving...
Following thermal neutron induced fission, supervised machine learning and temporal gamma-ray spectroscopy methods were used to identify differences in the delayed gamma-ray spectra of Pu-239 and U-235. The temporal gamma-ray spectroscopy method takes advantage of the time-dependent decay of fission products. Employing Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficient and without prior knowledge...
There have been several epidemiological studies linking alcohol
consumption to a decreased risk of contracting illness from foodborne
bacterial contamination. To study this phenomenon, we examined the
survival of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium in grape
juice and wine and then designed a model stomach to investigate the effect...
Many ocean regions important to the global carbon budget, including the equatorial Pacific Ocean, have low chlorophyll concentrations despite high levels of conventional nutrients. Iron may instead by the limiting nutrient, and elevated input of terrigenous Fe during windy glacial episodes has been hypothesized to stimulate oceanic productivity through time...
In 1998, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary initiated the “Tortugas 2000” planning process that would lead to the eventual designation (2001) of the largest marine reserve in the US: The Dry Tortugas Ecological Reserve (DTER). This resulting research, targeted commercial fishermen operating in the DTER region, determining the total...
