A meta‐analysis reveals temperature, dose, life stage, and taxonomy influence host susceptibility to a fungal parasite
(Wiley, 2020-01-21)Complex ecological relationships, such as host–parasite interactions, are often modeled with laboratory experiments. However, some experimental laboratory conditions, such as temperature or infection dose, are regularly ... -
A Methodology for Integrating Unconventional Geologic and Engineering Data into a Geocellular Model
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2019-10-17)Unconventional field development and well performance analysis encompass multiple disciplines and large data sets. Even when seismic and other data sets are not available, geologists can build geocellular models to determine ... -

Mexico 2018: AMLO's hour
(SciELO, 2019-06-13)In July 2018, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) was elected President of Mexico in the largest electoral landslide in Mexico's democratic history. As a self-proclaimed transformational candidate, AMLO made big promises ... -
Micro-tidal disruption events by stellar compact objects and the production of ultra-long GRBs
(Institute of Physics, 2016-05-27)We explore full/partial tidal disruption events (TDEs) of stars/planets by stellar compact objects (black holes (BHs) or neutron stars (NSs)), which we term micro-TDEs. Disruption of a star/planet with mass M sstarf may ... -
Mineral stabilization of soil carbon is suppressed by live roots, outweighing influences from litter quality or quantity
(Springer, 2021-07-01)Conserving soil carbon (C) and harnessing the potential for soil C sequestration requires an improved understanding of the processes through which organic material accumulates in soil. Currently, competing hypotheses exist ... -
Mirroring Hybridity: The Use of Arab Folk Tradition in Laila Halaby's Once in a Promised Land and Alia Yunis's The Night Counter
(Pluto Journals, 2020-09-01)This article explores the way in which Laila Halaby in Once in a Promised Land and Alia Yunis is in The Night Counter utilize the Arab folk tradition in novels on Arab and Muslim American experience to counter the dominant ... -
Mischaracterizing the Environment: Hardy, Darwin, and the Art of Ecological Storytelling
(University of Texas Press, 2020-06-01)This article reads Hardy's representation of Egdon Heath in The Return of the Native (1878) against the ecology and environmental history of English heathland to challenge a growing consensus that sees Hardy as an ecological ... -
Missingness of Height Data from the Demographic and Health Surveys in Africa between 1991 and 2016 Was Not Random but Is Unlikely to Have Major Implications for Biases in Estimating Stunting Prevalence or the Determinants of Child Height
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05)Background Obtaining accurate information on child height is essential for targeting interventions to reduce stunting. Thus, large-scale nutrition surveys must ensure that samples are representative of underlying populations ... -
Mixing in massive stellar mergers
(Oxford University Press, 2007-09-21)The early evolution of dense star clusters is possibly dominated by close interactions between stars, and physical collisions between stars may occur quite frequently. Simulating a stellar collision event can be an intensive ... -
MMAS: Make Me A Star
(2014-10)Make Me A Star (MMAS) quickly generates stellar collision remnants and can be used in combination with realistic dynamical simulations of star clusters that include stellar collisions. The code approximates the merger ... -

Mobilizing Markets: Community Efforts to Decrease Food Insecurity in Meadville, Pennsylvania
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2017-04-01)The rural town of Meadville, PA is considered a food desert and issues of food insecurity are a root cause of numerous chronic health problems. In 2014, 26.1% of Meadville residents were living in poverty and nearly 13% ... -
Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis of Non-Sexually Transmitted Strains of Haemophilus ducreyi
(Public Library of Science, 2015-03-16)Haemophilus ducreyi, the etiologic agent of chancroid, has been previously reported to show genetic variance in several key virulence factors, placing strains of the bacterium into two genetically distinct classes. Recent ... -
Monetary policy and credit flows
(Elsevier, 2021-12)The paper assesses the impact of monetary policy shocks on credit reallocation and evaluates the importance of theoretical monetary policy transmission mechanisms. Compustat data covering 1974 through 2017 is used to compute ... -
Monitoring the Well-Being of a Person Using a Robotic-Sensor Framework
(Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2016-03-05)Applications of robotic and wearable sensors based systems for human assistance or health monitoring have been gaining popularity in recent years. Among its diverse applications, therapeutic robotic systems have been ... -
More than meets the eye: A primer for "Timing of locomotor recovery from Anoxia modulated by the white gene in Drosophila melanogaster.
(Genetics Society of America, 2016-12)A single gene might have several functions within an organism, and so mutational loss of that gene has multiple effects across different physiological systems in the organism. Though the white gene in Drosophila melanogaster ... -
Morph-specific differences in disease prevalence and pathogen-induced mortality in a terrestrial polymorphic salamander
(Wiley, 2015-01-08)Polymorphic species provide an excellent system to study population divergence because different phenotypes often face diverse selection pressures within their shared environment. Previous studies have demonstrated that ... -
MOSBIE: a tool for comparison and analysis of rule-based biochemical models
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2014-09-25)Background: Mechanistic models that describe the dynamical behaviors of biochemical systems are common in computational systems biology, especially in the realm of cellular signaling. The development of families of such ... -
