Soybean Phenotypic Variation Under High Night Temperature Stress
(2021-04-19)
Soybean is the fourth most important commodity crop globally grown on over 83.1 million acres in the United States. Crop yield is required to increase a 50% to satisfy the demand of a growing population that will increase ...
Evaluation of Warm-Season Annuals for Livestock Production
(2021-04-19)
Warm-season forages are high yielding and can have high nutritive value, providing producers with an ideal option during the months in which cool-season forages are not productive. Two, 2-year small plot studies were ...
The Interactive effect of Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms, Attentional Control, and Cognitive Load on Threat-Related Attentional Bias
(2021-04-19)
Theory and empirical evidence suggest that those with higher posttraumatic stress (PTS)
symptoms and better attentional control (i.e., the strategic control of higher-order executive
attention in regulating bottom-up, ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Garnet-Type Li7La3Zr2O12 Solid Electrolyte Materials
(2021-04-19)
Garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) has attracted much attention because of its promising properties for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, such as high ionic conductivity of 3×10-4 S/cm at 25℃, good chemical stability ...
Assessing the pollination contribution of bees within the southeastern United States
(2021-04-19)
Over 80% of the world’s flowering plants rely on animal pollinators, and approximately 75% of the world’s food crops depend on insect pollinators. Insects are crucial in the pollination of many cultivated and wild flowering ...
From drones to Daphnia: Exploring eutrophication and climate change impacts on algal blooms at various scales
(2021-04-19)
Climactic variations and cultural eutrophication alter aquatic ecosystems by promoting harmful algal blooms (HABs) that destabilize aquatic food webs and degrade the quality and safety of aquacultured fish, recreational ...
Marching Band Directors’ Attitudes Towards Participation in Marching Band Competitions: A Descriptive Survey
(2021-04-19)
The purpose of this quantitative study was to learn about the reasons high school band directors choose to participate in marching band competitions. This was a descriptive study which involved an anonymous online survey. ...
Genetic Technologies for Growth Enhancement in Catfish
(2021-04-19)
The effects of CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of the myostatin (MSTN) gene in channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, was investigated. A total of 209 fish survived microinjection over 3 years with an average mutation rate of 58%. ...
Taxonomic Profiling of the Lumen and Epimural Surface of the Duodenum, Rumen and Ileum Using a Cannulated Bovine Model
(2021-04-16)
The gut microbiome provides important metabolic functions for the host animal. Bacterial dysbiosis as a result of bacterial, viral, and parasitic gastrointestinal infections can adversely affect the metabolism, productivity, ...
Emission Properties of Coordination Complexes: The Impact of Mixed Donors on f-Block Elements
(2021-04-16)
There is a growing need to understand the fundamental aspects of chemistry concerning f-elements. Whether it be through the use of softer donor systems to try and selectively coordinate actinide ions in solution which could ...
The effects of temperature and dissolved oxygen on fish respiration determined by enzymatic and organismal techniques
(2021-04-16)
