Understanding mental health trends during COVID-19 pandemic in the United States using network analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2023-06-08)The emergence of COVID-19 in the United States resulted in a series of federal and state-level lock-downs and COVID-19 related health mandates to manage the spread of the virus. These policies may negatively impact the ... -
Repeat sprint fatigue and altered neuromuscular performance in recreationally trained basketball players
(Public Library of Science, 2023-07-17)The primary aim of the present study was to investigate how the fatigue induced through a repeat sprint protocol acutely affected different measures of neuromuscular performance. Recreationally trained basketball players ... -
OER+ScholComm Summer 2023
(2023-08-10)This report provides background and present status on a collaboration that has resulted in an open textbook and a corpus of additional open teaching and learning materials scoped to scholarly communication topics. It ... -
The internet and the strong interest inventory: Client's understanding of results both with and without a counselor's interpretation
(University of Kansas, 2000-05-31)The Internet is a tool that enables individuals to attain valuable information about the world. This mechanism has exponentially boomed into what the Internet is today. Individuals can find practically anything they want ... -
Effects of occurrence data density on conservation prioritization strategies
(Elsevier, 2023-08)Place-prioritization analyses are a means by which researchers can translate information on the geographic distributions of species into quantitative prioritizations of areas for biodiversity conservation action. Although ... -
Computing the decomposable entropy of belief-function graphical models
(Elsevier, 2023-07-13)In 2018, Jiroušek and Shenoy proposed a definition of entropy for Dempster-Shafer (D-S) belief functions called decomposable entropy (d-entropy). This paper provides an algorithm for computing the d-entropy of directed ... -
On conditional belief functions in directed graphical models in the Dempster-Shafer theory
(Elsevier, 2023-07-04)The primary goal is to define conditional belief functions in the Dempster-Shafer theory. We do so similarly to probability theory's notion of conditional probability tables. Conditional belief functions are necessary for ... -
The macroeconomic implications of deficit financing under present bias
(Elsevier, 2023-06-30)We examine how present bias affects deficit, inflation, and welfare in an economy where the deficit is funded by a seigniorage tax. In a hyperbolic discounting economy, reduced money holdings due to the desire for immediate ... -
Are we saving water? Simple methods for assessing the effectiveness of groundwater conservation measures
(Elsevier, 2023-09-01)Substantial storage reductions by irrigation pumping in many of the world’s major aquifers jeopardize future food production. As a result, new conservation measures are being utilized to reduce pumping and extend aquifer ... -
Urbanization as a limiter and catalyst of watershed-scale sediment transport: Insights from probabilistic connectivity modeling
(Elsevier, 2023-10-10)The conversion of rural lands to urban areas exerts considerable influence on the hydrologic processes governing sediment transport at the watershed scale. While the effects of urbanization on hydrology have been well-studied, ... -
A cross-sectional investigation of disfluencies in typically developing Spanish-English bilingual children
(Elsevier, 2023-06-15)Purpose This study examined the language skills and the type and frequency of disfluencies in the spoken narrative production of typically developing Spanish-English bilingual children. Method A cross-sectional sample ... -
Subthreshold white noise vibration alters trembling sway in older adults
(Elsevier, 2023-06-28)Background Somatosensory deficit is a significant contributor to falls in older adults. Stochastic resonance has shown promise in recent studies of somatosensation-based balance disorders, improving many measures of ... -
Data-driven prognosis of failure detection and prediction of lithium-ion batteries
(Elsevier, 2023-10-15)Battery prognostics and health management predictive models are essential components of safety and reliability protocols in battery management system frameworks. Overall, developing a robust and efficient fault diagnostic ... -
Output force and ratio of laparoscopic graspers: an evaluation of operating room ergonomics
(Elsevier, 2023-05-15)Background “Laparoscopist's thumb,” or thenar paresthesia, can result from prolonged or excessive grip force during laparoscopy, as can more general syndromes, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. This is particularly relevant ... -
An index for inferring dominant transport pathways of solutes and sediment: Assessing land use impacts with high-frequency conductivity and turbidity sensor data
(Elsevier, 2023-10-10)Land use change threatens aquatic ecosystems through freshwater salinization and sediment pollution. Effective river management requires an understanding of the dominant hydrologic pathways of sediment and solute delivery. ... -
Making inferences in incomplete Bayesian networks: A Dempster-Shafer belief function approach
(Elsevier, 2023-09)How do you make inferences from a Bayesian network (BN) model with missing information? For example, we may not have priors for some variables or may not have conditionals for some states of the parent variables. It is ... -
Perception and production of Mandarin-Accented English: The effect of degree of Accentedness on the Interlanguage Speech Intelligibility Benefit for Listeners (ISIB-L) and Talkers (ISIB-T)
(Elsevier, 2023-06-17)Previous research on the Interlanguage Speech Intelligibility Benefit (ISIB) indicates nonnative listeners may have an advantage at understanding nonnative speech of talkers with the same first language (L1) due to shared ... -
