nadiv: an R package to create relatedness matrices for estimating non-additive genetic variances in animal models
(2019-09-15)
1. The Non-Additive InVerses (nadiv) R software package contains functions to create and use non-additive genetic relationship matrices in the animal model of quantitative genetics.
2. This study discusses the concepts ...
Natural arsenic contamination of Holocene alluvial aquifers by linked tectonic, weathering, and microbial processes
(2022-10-26)
Linked tectonic, geochemical, and biologic processes lead to natural arsenic contamination of groundwater in Holocene alluvial aquifers, which are the main threat to human health around the world. These groundwaters are ...
Nemertean toxin genes revealed through transcriptome sequencing
(2019-04-29)
Nemerteans are one of few animal groups that have evolved the ability to utilize toxins for both defense and subduing prey, but little is known about specific nemertean toxins. In particular, no study has identified specific ...
Net superoxide levels: steeper increase with activity in cooler female and hotter male lizards
(2023-09-20)
Ectotherms increase their body temperature in response to ambient heat, thereby elevating their metabolic rate. An often inferred consequence of this is an overall upregulation of gene expression and energetic expenditure, ...
New Valley Project
(2022-04-26)
This file contains a digital map of the New Valley Project (Egypt) in Google Earth KMZ format that was produced as part of The IBT Water Project at Auburn University. The New Valley Project, also known as Toshka Project, ...
Noble gas abundance and isotope ratios in the atmosphere of Jupiter from the Galileo Probe Mass Spectrometer
(2023-01-25)
The Galileo Probe Mass Spectrometer provided the first data on the noble gas mixing and isotope ratios in the Jovian atmosphere. These measurements and the comparison with solar values constrain models of Jupiter's formation. ...
The NSF/DOE Partnership in Basic Plasma Science & Engineering at 20: Report on the Anniversary Workshop
(2019-11-11)
A workshop recognizing the 20th anniversary of the NSF/DOE Partnership in Basic Plasma Science and Engineering was held at NSF on January 9-11, 2017. The workshop demonstrated some of the remarkable research and broader ...
OH3- and O2H5- double Rydberg anions: Predictions and comparisons with NH4- and N2H7-
(2021-01-26)
A low barrier in the reaction pathway between the double Rydberg isomer of OH3
− and a
hydride-water complex indicates that the former species is more difficult to isolate and characterize
through anion photoelectron ...
On the accuracy of explicitly correlated coupled-cluster interaction energies - have orbital results been beaten yet?
(2020-08-20)
The basis set convergence of weak interaction energies for dimers of noble gases helium through
krypton is studied for six variants of the explicitly correlated, frozen geminal coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and ...
On the Challenges of Measuring Energetic Particles in the Inner Belt: A Geant4 Simulation of an Energetic Particle Detector Instrument, REPTile-2
(2022-11-16)
Following the retirement of the community supported Van Allen Probes mission, the quest for high-quality energetic particle measurements in the radiation belts is likely to be taken on by smaller spacecraft like CubeSats ...
One- and two-dimensional hybrid simulations of whistler mode waves in a dipole field
(2022-09-29)
We simulate whistler mode waves using a hybrid code. There are four species in the simulations, hot electrons initialized with a bi-Maxwellian distribution with temperature in the direction perpendicular to background ...
One- and two-dimensional hybrid simulations of whistler mode waves in a dipole field
(2020-06-05)
We simulate whistler mode waves using a hybrid code. There are four species in the simulations, hot electrons initialized with a bi-Maxwellian distribution with temperature in the direction perpendicular to background ...
Optimal Parameter Upscaling for Partial Differential Equation Models in Mathematical Biology
(2024-04-04)
Partial differential equation models in mathematical biology often involve space-dependent parameters, such as diffusion coefficients and advection fields, that cannot be measured explicitly and are therefore uncertain. ...
Optimal Upscaling with Transport Maps
(2024-04-04)
Partial differential equation models often involve space-dependent
parameters, such as diffusion coefficients and advection fields, that
cannot be measured explicitly and are therefore uncertain. Midpoint
(MP), spatial ...
Osmoregulation in the Hawaiian anchialine shrimp Halocaridina rubra (Crustacea: Atyidae): expression of ion transporters, mitochondria-rich cell proliferation and hemolymph osmolality during salinity transfers
(2019-08-08)
Studies of euryhaline crustaceans have identified conserved osmoregulatory adaptions allowing hyper-osmoregulation in dilute waters. However, previous studies have mainly examined decapod brachyurans with marine ancestries ...
Outflow from the ionosphere in the vicinity of the cusp
(2020-06-26)
Low-energy ion outflows from the ionosphere are known to be an important source of plasma for the magnetosphere. The objective of this study is to describe the spatial relationships between low-energy ionospheric outflows ...

Overlap of the plasmasphere and ring current: Relation to subauroral ionospheric heating
(2020-06-18)
The overlap of the ring current with the outer plasmasphere is thought to play a major role in storm-time related increases in the subauroral ambient topside electron temperature. Instabilities generated within the overlap ...
