The realm of Earth science (ES) is increasingly data-intensive. Geoinformatics research
attempts to robustly smooth and accelerate the flow of data to information, information to
knowledge, and knowledge to decisions and ...
NeuroMorpho.Org is a scientific database of digital reconstructions of neurons and glia. It
serves as a large-scale repository of a wide range of morphological information that can be
accessed all over the world, thus ...
This study is comprised of three projects designed to characterize the fate and
transport of S-triazine herbicides (e.g., atrazine), chloroacetanilide herbicides (e.g.,
metolachlor) and the transformation products (TPs) ...
Determining the fate of particulate phosphorus (PP) in estuaries is essential for
addressing the widespread problem of estuarine eutrophication, and is key for developing
accurate global P budgets. We used a sequential ...
Facility location problems constitute an area of study that has been extensively researched due to the opportunities presented for small businesses and corporations to increase their efficiency and profitability. Numerous ...
Little is known about long-distance dispersal movements in freshwater turtles, despite the
probable importance of such movements for gene flow between populations. There is a
pressing need to better understand these ...
Rising temperature is a major concern of urban livelihood and has become more severe with rapid urbanization. The complexity of built-up urban fabrics and the unevenly distributed anthropogenic heat release have led to ...
We study superfluid states in two-dimensional fermionic attractive Hubbard models with Zeeman coupling to an external field. For singlet pairing in the strong coupling regime, we reveal a rich phase diagram of finite ...
In this dissertation I performed first-principles calculations of the electronic structure for Iron-Selenium-Tellurium (FeSeTe) systems and applied the results to study superconductivity in these materials. This dissertation ...
Fisheries stakeholders have identified the need to implement fisheries management approaches that ensure sustainable practices while addressing the economic interests of fishers. Co-management of fisheries resources, where ...
The American public is increasingly turning to the Internet to gather, analyze, and evaluate information about environmental risks. The goal of most risk-communication campaigns is to help citizens understand and take ...
A floristic survey and analysis of community composition were conducted during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons at the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship (BRCES), Purcellville, Virginia. The BRCES is an 895 ...
The Do-It-Yourself Biology (DIYBio) community is a global movement comprised of citizen scientists, bio-artists, tinkerers, and other individuals exploring and experimenting with biology outside of academic, government, ...
Subduction margins account for more than 90% of the total seismic energy released by
shallow earthquakes worldwide (Pacheco & Sykes, 1992). Megathrust earthquakes
release stored elastic strain energy that has accumulated ...
Deforestation in the Congo Basin is altering the natural functioning and services of the ecosystem and adversely impacting highly vulnerable human populations who rely on their proper functioning. There is currently no ...
This dissertation investigates the chemistry in water ice of radical species, such as OH and O, produced in radio-frequency discharge. This novel method of studying such reactive species in water ice is a departure from ...
One of the remarkable phenomena, characterizing both Galactic and extra-Galactic Xray
binary systems, is the substantial variability of a photon
ux, detectable in a very
broad range of timescales. For instance, the ...
