Bacteria as an agent for change in structural plumage color: Correlational and experimental evidence
(2023-05-17)
Recent studies have documented that a diverse assemblage of bacteria is present on the feathers of wild birds and that uropygial oil affects these bacteria in diverse ways. These findings suggest that birds may regulate ...
BAM files associated with Macaca arctoides hybridization analysis
(2022-10-12)
Genital divergence is thought to contribute to reproductive barriers by establishing a “lock-and-key" mechanism for reproductive compatibility. One such example, Macaca arctoides, the bear macaque, has compensatory changes ...
Basis set converged weak interaction energies from conventional and explicitly correlated coupled-cluster approach
(2020-01-16)
Interaction energies for seven weakly bound dimers involving helium, argon, water, and methane
are computed using large correlation-consistent basis sets augmented with bond functions. The estimates of the coupled-cluster ...
Biogeochemical and Microbial Variation across 5500 km of Antarctic Surface Sediment Implicates Organic Matter as a Driver of Benthic Community Structure
(2019-04-29)
Western Antarctica, one of the fastest warming locations on Earth, is a unique environment that is underexplored with regards to biodiversity. Although pelagic microbial communities in the Southern Ocean and coastal Antarctic ...
Biomechanical factors influencing successful self-righting in the pleurodire turtle Emydura subglobosa
(2022-07-29)
Self-righting performance is a key ability for most terrestrial animals, and has been used as a metric of fitness, exhaustion and thermal limits in a variety of taxa. However, there is little understanding of the underlying ...
Bird assemblage response to restoration of fire‐suppressed longleaf pine sandhills
(2022-09-15)
The ecological restoration of fire‐suppressed habitats may require a multifaceted approach. Removal of hardwood trees together with reintroduction of fire has been suggested as a method of restoring fire‐suppressed longleaf ...
Bounded Complete Embedding Graphs, Extended Version
(2015-07-08)
This is the extended version of my dissertation, "Bounded Complete Embedding Graphs." This version is presented in three parts, each in a separate file.
[Part 1] Bounded Complete Embedding Graphs
[Part 2] Extension ...
A Call to Develop Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) for Nonmajors Courses
(2022-03-11)
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) for non-science majors (non-majors) are potentially distinct from CUREs for developing scientists in their goals, learning objectives, and assessment strategies. While ...
Can mixed assessment methods make biology classes more equitable
(2023-09-20)
Many factors have been proposed to explain the attrition of women in science, technology, engineering and math fields, among them the lower performance of women in introductory courses resulting from deficits in incoming ...
Central Arizona Project
(2022-04-18)
This file contains a digital map of the Central Arizona Project (U.S.A.) in Google Earth KMZ format that was produced as part of The IBT Water Project at Auburn University. The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a complex ...
Classification of a Hypervirulent Aeromonas hydrophila Pathotype Responsible for Epidemic Outbreaks in Warm-Water Fishes
(2019-04-29)
Lineages of hypervirulent Aeromonas hydrophila (vAh) are the cause of persistent outbreaks of motile Aeromonas septicemia in warm-water fishes worldwide. Over the last decade, this virulent lineage of A. hydrophila has ...
Cluster perturbation theory. I. Theoretical foundation for a coupled cluster target state and ground-state energies
(2020-05-20)
We introduce a new class of perturbation models-the cluster perturbation (CP) models-where the major drawbacks of Moller-Plesset perturbation theory and coupled cluster perturbation theory have been eliminated. In CP theory, ...
Cluster perturbation theory. II. Excitation energies for a coupled cluster target state
(2020-05-07)
In cluster perturbation (CP) theory, we consider a target excitation space relative to a Hartree-Fock state and partition the target excitation space into a parent excitation space and an auxiliary excitation space. The ...
Cluster perturbation theory. III. Perturbation series for coupled cluster singles and doubles excitation energies
(2020-05-07)
The cluster perturbation series, CPS(D), for coupled cluster singles and doubles excitation energies is considered. It is demonstrated that the second-order model CPS(D-2) is identical to the configuration interaction ...
Cluster perturbation theory. IV. Convergence of cluster perturbation series for energies and molecular properties
(2020-05-20)
The theoretical foundation has been developed for establishing whether cluster perturbation (CP) series for the energy, molecular properties, and excitation energies are convergent or divergent and for using a two-state ...
Cluster perturbation theory. V. Theoretical foundation for cluster linear target states
(2020-05-20)
Cluster perturbation (CP) theory was developed in Paper I [F. Pawlowski et al., J. Chem. Phys. 150, 134108 (2019)] for a coupled cluster (CC) target state and is extended in this paper to comprehend a cluster linear (CL) ...
