Serum IgM, MH class IIβ genotype and respiratory burst activity do not differ between rainbow trout families displaying resistance or susceptibility to the coldwater pathogen, Flavobacterium psychrophilum
(Elsevier, 2018-01-20)Flavobacterium psychrophilum, the causative agent of bacterial coldwater disease (BCWD) is a significant threat to global aquaculture. True to its name, BCWD tends to occur at temperatures between 8 and 12°C and presents ... -
Settleable engineered titanium dioxide nanomaterials for the removal of natural organic matter from drinking water
(Elsevier, 2018-02-15)Four linear engineered TiO2 nanomaterials (LENs) were synthesized and evaluated in terms of settlability and their ability to remove natural organic matter (NOM) from river water. The size, surface characteristics, and ... -
Sex differences in solute and water handling in the human kidney: Modeling and functional implications
(Elsevier, 2021-06)The kidneys maintain homeostasis by controlling the amount of water and electrolytes in the blood. That function is accomplished by the nephrons, which transform glomerular filtrate into urine by a transport process mediated ... -
Sex-specific long-term blood pressure regulation: Modeling and analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-01)Hypertension is a global health challenge: it affects one billion people worldwide and is estimated to account for 60% of all cases or types of cardiovascular disease. In part because sex differences in blood pressure ... -
Sexual Behavior, Risk Perception, And Hiv Transmission Can Respond To Hiv Antiviral Drugs And Vaccines Through Multiple Pathways
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-10-28)There has been growing use of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) for HIV and significant progress in developing prophylactic HIV vaccines. The simplest theories of counterproductive behavioral responses to such ... -
Shale heavy metal isotope records of low environmental O2 between two Archean oxidation events.
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04-26)Evidence of molecular oxygen (O₂) accumulation at Earth’s surface during the Archean (4.0–2.5 billion years ago, or Ga) seems to increase in its abundance and compelling nature toward the end of the eon, during the runup ... -
Shear deformation effects on stability of unbraced steel frames in variable loading
(Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2019-11-11)The generalized lateral stiffness equation of a semi-rigidly connected frame with accounting for shear deformation is derived in this paper. The lateral stiffness equation can be used to determine the critical loads of ... -
Shear Viscosity of Poly (acrylamide/acrylic acid) Solutions
(Wiley, 2016-02-22)Acrylamide (AAm)/Acrylic acid (AAc) copolymers are being used in a wide spectrum of applications, from which enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the target application in this research study. The shear viscosity of the copolymer ... -
The Shifted Turan Sieve Method on Tournaments
(Cambridge University Press, 2019)Abstract. We construct a shi ed version of the Turán sieve method developed by R. Murty and the second author and apply it to counting problems on tournaments. More precisely, we obtain upper bounds for the number of ... -
The shifted Turan sieve method on tournaments II
(Elsevier, 2021-12)In a previous work [5], we developed the shifted Turán sieve method on a bipartite graph and applied it to problems on cycles in tournaments. More precisely, we obtained upper bounds for the number of tournaments which ... -
Shipment consolidation with two demand classes: Rationing the dispatch capacity
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)We analyze the problem faced by a logistics provider that dispatches shipment orders (parcels or larger packages) of two order classes, viz. expedited and regular. Shipment orders arrive according to a compound Poisson ... -
Short Directed Cycles in Bipartite Digraphs
(Springer Nature, 2020-08-01)The Caccetta-Häggkvist conjecture implies that for every integer k ≥ 1, if G is a bipartite digraph, with n vertices in each part, and every vertex has out-degree more than n/(k+1), then G has a directed cycle of length ... -
Short-term forecasting and uncertainty analysis of wind turbine power based on long short-term memory network and Gaussian mixture model
(Elsevier, 2019-05)Wind power plays a leading role in the development of renewable energy. However, the random nature of wind turbine power and its associated uncertainty create challenges in dispatching this power effectively in the power ... -
Short-Term Moderately Elevated Intraocular Pressure Is Associated With Elevated Scotopic Electroretinogram ResponsesShort-Term Elevated IOP and Scotopic ERG Responses
(Association of Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2016-04-01)Moderately elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a risk factor for open-angle glaucoma. Some patients suffer glaucoma despite clinically measured normal IOPs. Fluctuations in IOP may have a significant role since IOPs are ... -
Short-term predictions of transient shallow groundwater levels at local scale using data-driven models
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Groundwater is a critical natural resource for human activities and a vital component of the hydrological cycle. The fluctuation of groundwater level (GWL) can be induced by the interplay of several natural processes and ... -
Short-wave vortex instability in stratified flow
(Elsevier, 2016-01)In this paper we investigate a new instability of the Lamb–Chaplygin dipole in a stratified fluid. Through numerical linear stability analysis, a secondary peak in the growth rate emerges at vertical scales about an order ... -
Show me the numbers: a quantitative portrait of the attitudes, experiences, and values of philosophers of science regarding broadly engaged work
(Springer, 2019-09-23)Philosophers of science are increasingly arguing for the importance of doing scientifically- and socially-engaged work, suggesting that we need to reduce barriers to extra-disciplinary engagement and broaden our impact. ... -
Shy children's understanding of irony: Better comprehension does not always mean better socioemotional functioning
(Wiley, 2019-04-12)Childhood shyness is a risk factor for negative socioemotional outcomes including loneliness and depression. Childhood shyness has also been found to relate to various aspects of pragmatic language. For instance, shyer ... -
Shy individuals’ interpretations of counterfactual verbal irony
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-10-31)Counterfactual verbal irony, an evaluative form of figurative language wherein a speaker’s intended meaning is opposite to the literal meaning of his or her words, is used to serve many social goals. Despite recent calls ... -
Sieve estimation in a Markov illness-death process under dual censoring
(Oxford Journals, 2016-02-29)Semiparametric methods are well-established for the analysis of a progressive Markov illness-death process observed up to a noninformative right censoring time. However often the intermediate and terminal events are ...
