Can nutrition strategies, such as fiber and ketone supplementation, ameliorate the negative effects of high salt consumption on vascular health and immune cell phenotypes?
(2024-04-29)
Background: Consuming high dietary salt (HS) is prevalent in the western diet and does not appear to be decreasing. HS consumption is the leading modifiable risk factor for the development of hypertension and subsequent ...
Spawning and Early Ecology of Riverine Shoal Bass and Largemouth Bass
(2024-04-29)
Understanding fish movements and early life-history requirements is important for managing populations because they reflect changing resource needs across the life cycle. Riverine black basses (genus Micropterus) hold ...
Assessing Private Well Water Quality in Mobile and Baldwin Counties, Alabama
(2024-04-29)
Approximately 43 million people in the United States rely on private well water. Lack of regulation is important due sources of contamination from geogenic and anthropogenic sources. One source of anthropogenic contamination ...
Unmuting the Mic on Telework: The Development and Validation of Telework OCB and CWB Scales
(2024-04-29)
This paper proposes the development and validation of two new scales for measuring telework organizational citizenship behaviors (T-OCBs) and telework counterproductive workplace behaviors (T-CWBs). These scales are being ...
Timely Remote Estimation and Applications to Situational Awareness
(2024-04-29)
In real-time monitoring and networked control systems, sensor observations from vehicles, robots, UAVs, or stock markets, are transmitted to a monitoring or controlling unit, which could be any kind of decision-making ...
Understanding and Modeling the Effects of Surface Texture on Fatigue Behavior of Additively Manufactured Parts
(2024-04-29)
Additive manufacturing, considered as a future manufacturing technique, provides an unique advantage of fabricating near-net-shape parts without any additional processes. While there are extensive efforts to improve ...
INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF CULTURAL AND CONTEXTUAL FACTORS ON BIRTH WEIGHT OUTCOMES FOR BLACK AMERICAN MOTHERS
(2024-04-29)
