Regulation of death and differentiation of embryonic stem cells
(2021-05-03)Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) possess two notable traits: self-renewal, the ability to proliferate without senescence or quiescence, and pluripotency, the capacity to differentiate into nearly any cell type in the body. ... -
Solid-state and intercalation chemistry of nickel-tellurate positive electrodes for lithium and sodium secondary batteries
(2021-04-28)Current cathode chemistries for lithium and sodium secondary batteries are pushing their theoretical limit. Materials exploration on novel structures and compositions is essential to discover new phenomena that can guide ... -
Overcoming the kinetic limitations of lithium-sulfur batteries
(2021-04-22)The adoption of lithium-ion batteries has catalyzed massive technological and societal progress over the past few decades. While lithium-ion batteries continue to show considerable promise for a large range of applications, ... -
The influence of cognitive load on balance control during walking
(2021-04-19)Maintaining dynamic balance is essential during walking, with foot-placement playing a critical role. Situations requiring increased cognitive attention may impair an individual’s ability to actively control their balance. ... -
In-situ characterization of lanthanide electrodepositions
(2021-01-25)The electrodeposition process has been the standard method for producing actinide and lanthanide thin films for decades. The major benefits of the technique include high reproducibility, simple equipment set up, and high ... -
Prescription opioid use in women during pregnancy—a retrospective analysis using Texas Medicaid prescription claims data
(2021-01-25)Consequences of the opioid epidemic in the general population have been widely reported in peer-reviewed literature. However, fewer studies have examined the impact of exposure to opioids during pregnancy. The primary ... -
Measuring language dominance in bilinguals of two sign languages
(2020-12-10)The research question asked here is whether the construct of language dominance in the spoken modality is cross-modal and quantifiable in sign languages. Sign languages have been described as similar due to their visually ... -
Polarization : conceptualization and measurement
(2020-12-08)How do societies polarize? The literature on polarization in the political science subfield of American politics is rich. However, polarization has been measured at different levels of the society instead of the societal ... -
Biomechanical weight transfer of gait initiation in individuals post-stroke
(2020-12-01)Stroke is the leading cause of disability and reduced mobility. Post-stroke disruptions to descending motor pathways cause movement impairments that hinder weight transfer ability in tasks such as rising from a chair and ... -
High-nickel layered oxide cathodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries
(2020-11-09)The ever-growing market of consumer electronics has been driving surging demand for higher-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Since cathode materials primarily dictate the energy density and cost, extensive ... -
Single and repeated sessions of transcranial infrared laser stimulation to the anterior prefrontal cortex in older adults with bipolar disorder
(2020-09-09)Older adults with bipolar disorder (BD) exhibit greater cognitive decline than is expected for age-matched controls and clinical interventions intended for mood stabilization are not targeted to prevent or ameliorate ... -
Experimental and analytical evaluation of cross-frame fatigue behavior in steel I-girder bridges
(2020-09-09)Cross-frames are important structural components that serve many functions throughout the service life of steel I-girder bridge systems. They primarily act as stability braces to enhance the lateral-torsional buckling ... -
An orientation-aware grid-based method to remedy hazards of low-rank approximation methods for electromagnetics
(2020-09-08)The method of moments is commonly accelerated by the low-rank approximation (LRA) of impedance matrix subblocks, either through direct compression or indirectly via sampling grids. While LRA methods can reduce computation ... -
Development of microphysiological human intestine models for deciphering the role of host-gut microbiome crosstalk in intestinal diseases
(2020-09-04)The human microbiome and its crosstalk with host cells play a critical role in regulating human health and disease. However, the underlying mechanism of how the host-microbiome crosstalk affects the disease etiology remains ... -
Quantifying the vasculogenic potential of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial progenitors in angiogenic hydrogels
(2020-09-03)The circulatory system, composed of an intricate hierarchical network of branching blood vessels, delivers dissolved nutrients and gases to more than 37 trillion cells in the human body. Pathologies that impair these blood ... -
The shield of legitimacy : strategic decoupling of sanction compliance programs in global firms
(2022-05-07)The compliance of multinational corporations (MNCs) is critical to effective economic sanctions in a globalized era. While the literature on economic statecraft increasingly emphasizes the importance of firm-level theories, ... -
Gender roles and language loss : a new perspective from Texas German on language attitudes
(2022-05-26)While biological gender does not determine a speaker’s ability to learn a language cognitively, there has been plenty of evidence for differences between men and women’s speech socially (Pavlenko, 2010; Winter & Pauwels, ... -
Ascending Cadence Gestures, A New Historical Survey, Part 4c1: Music for Home, Salon, and Concert
(2022-09-29)This continues Part 4 of a multi-part essay gathering compositions with ascending lines and upper-register cadence gestures in European and European-influenced music. The time period covered in Part 4 is 1780-1860. In Part ... -
"A series of waves" : melodramatic rhythms in Victorian serial fiction
(2022-05-06)The English melodramatic plays and novels of the 19th century have many notable features in common: variation between comedy and tragedy, dastardly villains and dashing heroes, and a fascination with sensationally dramatic ... -
Development of a federated learning software
