Waterpipe tobacco smoking impact on public health: Implications for policy
(2015-08-27)Given the increasing evidence of its negative health effects, including contributions to both infectious and chronic diseases, waterpipe tobacco smoking raises public health concerns beyond even those presented by traditional ... -
Helse Wheels: Family of mechanisms to implement variable geometry hybrid wheels
(2018)This paper presents a family of mechanisms of two degrees of freedom for implementing variable geometry hybrid wheels. These mechanisms are capable of transforming a circular wheel into a hybrid wheel with multiple legs. ... -
Correction: Reading the biomineralized book of life: Expanding otolith biogeochemical research and applications for fisheries and ecosystem-based management
(2022-09-12)There was an oversight in the authorship at the time of publication and the article is corrected to include Patrick Charapata and Stephen Trumble from the Biology Department, Baylor University, Waco, TX 76706, USA. -
Reading the biomineralized book of life: Expanding otolith biogeochemical research and applications for fisheries and ecosystem-based management
(2022-08-07)A correction to this article can be found at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11160-022-09729-4 Chemical analysis of calcified structures continues to flourish, as analytical and technological advances enable researchers to ... -
Mathematical modeling of gas hydrates dissociation in porous media with water-ice phase transformations using differential constrains
(2022-09-23)2D numerical modeling algorithms of multi-component, multi-phase filtration processes of mass transfer in frost-susceptible rocks using nonlinear partial differential equations are a valuable tool for problems of subsurface ... -
The physiological consequences of breath-hold diving in marine mammals: The Scholander legacy
(2012-12-19)Most of the physiological traits used by marine mammals to perform long and deep breath-hold dives were described in Scholander's seminal paper in 1940. Since then, several studies have provided an improved understanding ... -
Communicating and Understanding Ecosystem Services Assessment With Coastal Stakeholders: Obstacles and Opportunities
(Frontiers in Communication, 2021-05-12)This paper reports on insights and lessons learned from stakeholder engagement, particularly focus groups, conducted during a multi-year, NOAA-sponsored transdisciplinary project. A major project goal was to demonstrate ... -
Pricing Options on Water in Texas
(Texas Water Journal, 2021-08-10)Freshwater scarcity is a growing concern in Texas and the issues that surround it are expected to grow in the coming years. As climate change impacts the variability of precipitation patterns, some of the most useful tools ... -
Focused Flows to Maintain Natural Nursery Habitats
(Texas Water Journal, 2021-09-27)Regulatory standards for environmental flows to estuaries are not common, but they are required in Texas. This has led to adoption of complex freshwater inflow regimes that reflect seasonal and yearly fluctuations that ... -
Evaluating temporal and spatial transferability of a tidal inundation model for foraging waterbirds
(Ecosphere, 2022-04-03)For ecosystem models to be applicable outside their context of development, temporal and spatial transferability must be demonstrated. This presents a challenge for modeling intertidal ecosystems where spatiotemporal ... -
Multiscale solver for multi-component reaction-diffusion systems in heterogeneous media
(2022-09-09)Coupled nonlinear system of reaction-diffusion equations describing multi-component (species) interactions with heterogeneous coefficients is considered. Finite volume method based approximation for the space is used to ... -
Anemonefish Genomics
(2022)Anemonefish consists of 30 species and are likely the most recognizable fishes to the public due to their unique colour patterns, easy captive breeding, and the animation film Finding Nemo. They are also important species ... -
Multiscale model reduction technique for fluid flows with heterogeneous porous inclusions
(2022-09-02)Numerical treatment of the problem of two-dimensional viscous fluid flow in and around circular porous inclusions is considered. The mathematical model is described by Navier-Stokes equation in the free flow domain Ωf and ... -
Real-time forecasting of time series in financial markets using sequentially trained many-to-one LSTMs
(2022-05-10)Financial markets are highly complex and volatile; thus, learning about such markets for the sake of making predictions is vital to make early alerts about crashes and subsequent recoveries. People have been using learning ... -
Efficient decoupling schemes for multiscale multicontinuum problems in fractured porous media
(2022-09-02)We consider the coupled system of equations that describe flow in fractured porous media. To describe such types of problems, multicontinuum and multiscale approaches are used. Because in multicontinuum models, the ... -
Microbial succession during the degradation of bioplastic in coastal marine sediment favors sulfate reducing microorganisms
(2022-08-17)Marine environments are sinks for many contaminants, including petroleum-based plastic waste. Bioplastics, or biodegradable plastics derived from renewable resources, are considered promising alternatives as numerous studies ... -
Fraud detection using optimized machine learning tools under imbalance classes
(2022-09-04)Fraud detection is considered to be a challenging task due to the changing nature of fraud patterns over time and the limited availability of fraud examples to learn such sophisticated patterns. Thus, fraud detection with ... -
Convolutional neural network regression for low-cost microalgal density estimation
(2022-09-06)Density of microalgae is critical information for production of algae in a closed cultivation system since it can be used to optimally control their growth rate, biomass concentration and quality of the products. Given ... -
Ecological succession of the sponge cryptofauna in Hawaiian reefs add new insights to detritus production by pioneering species
(2022-09-05)Successional theory proposes that fast growing and well dispersed opportunistic species are the first to occupy available space. However, these pioneering species have relatively short life cycles and are eventually ... -
