(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2023-01)The laboratory portion of this study investigates the effects of internal curing (IC) water in pre-wetted lightweight aggregates (LWA) between 8.2 and 9.0% and between 12.0 and 13.1% by weight of binder and total internal ... -
Evaluation of Cracking Performance of Bridge Decks Incorporating Nonmetallic Fibers
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2022-07)The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) identified 20 monolithic (onecourse) bridge decks, constructed between 2015 and 2018, for cracking surveys to investigate the effectiveness of nonmetallic fibers in reducing ... -
An Investigation of the Effects of Using Plays for Echo Reading on Oral Reading Behavior and Acquisition of Sight Vocabulary for a Group of Disabled Second Grade Readers
(University of Kansas, 1974-08-31)The purpose of the study was to investigate what effect a reading program using a multi-sensory approach would have on the oral reading behavior of a group of eight second grade children who were reading at least six months ... -
KS38 Anderson County, Kansas
(2006)Wenker Sentences, KU Questionnaire responses and a short narrative recorded in 2006 for the Pennsylvania German (West Middle German) dialect of Anderson County, Kansas near Garnett. Male speaker born in 1970. -
An explanatory model of temperature influence on flowering through whole-plant accumulation of FLOWERING LOCUS T in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Oxford University Press, 2019-05-15)We assessed mechanistic temperature influence on flowering by incorporating temperature-responsive flowering mechanisms across developmental age into an existing model. Temperature influences the leaf production rate as ... -
Advances, obstacles, and opportunities for machine learning in proteomics
(Elsevier, 2022-10-19)The fields of proteomics and machine learning are both large disciplines, each producing well over 5,000 publications per year. However, studies combining both fields are still relatively rare, with only about 2% of recent ... -
Mid-infrared interference coatings with excess optical loss below 10 ppm
(Optica, 2021-05-14)Low excess optical loss, combined absorption and scatter loss, is a key performance metric for any high-reflectance coating technology and is currently one of the main limiting factors for the application of optical ... -
Autonomous-Strengthening Adhesive Provides Hydrolysis-Resistance and Enhanced Mechanical Properties in Wet Conditions
(MDPI, 2022-08-27)The low-viscosity adhesive that is used to bond composite restorative materials to the tooth is readily damaged by acids, enzymes, and oral fluids. Bacteria infiltrate the resulting gaps at the composite/tooth interface, ... -

Repeatability of Motion Health Screening Scores Acquired from a Three-Dimensional Markerless Motion Capture System
(MDPI, 2022-09-02)The purpose of the present study was to examine the repeatability of five algorithm-derived motion health screening scores (i.e., readiness, explosiveness, functionality, quality, and dysfunction) obtained from an innovative ... -
International migrants and coronavirus disease 2019 vaccinations: Social Media, motivated information management, and vaccination willingness
(SAGE Publications, 2022-09-22)Objective This study examines how those who were born outside the United States and migrated to the country in the past decade used social media and other online sites to deal with uncertainties around the coronavirus ... -
Technological and functional analysis of 80–60 ka bone wedges from Sibudu (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa)
(Nature Research, 2022-09-29)Fully shaped, morphologically standardized bone tools are generally considered reliable indicators of the emergence of modern behavior. We report the discovery of 23 double-beveled bone tools from ~ 80,000–60,000-year-old ... -
Induction and inhibition of Drosophila X chromosome gene expression are both impeded by the dosage compensation complex
(Oxford University Press, 2022-07-06)Sex chromosomes frequently differ from the autosomes in the frequencies of genes with sexually dimorphic or tissue-specific expression. Multiple hypotheses have been put forth to explain the unique gene content of the X ... -
Silica-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles for Vancomycin Conjugation
(American Chemical Society, 2022-08-16)Drug resistance is a global health challenge with thousands of deaths annually caused by bacterial multidrug resistance (MDR). Efforts to develop new antibacterial molecules do not meet the mounting needs imposed by the ... -
