The large scale circulation of the atmosphere, as characterized by circulation regimes, has a significant influence on storminess and precipitation extremes. One type of structure known to be related to precipitation is ...
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that causes severe morbidity and is endemic in 98 countries. Attempts to develop a vaccine have been unfruitful, aside from leishmanization (deliberate inoculation with a ...
Stormwater ponds are often assumed to be well-mixed reactors. To better
understand the water quality of stormwater ponds, the seasonal and diel water quality
patterns of the Potomac Science Center stormwater pond were ...
The mounting evidences suggest that extracellular vesicles (EVs) contribute to HIV-1 pathogenesis, which is likely attributed to their ability to carry viral proteins and RNA. Previously we were able to investigate the ...
SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the betacoronavirus genus, and is closely related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Since its emergence in Wuhan province, China in December of 2019, from a suspected bat ...
Ecosystem services – and their economic role in providing goods to humans – is discussed as a critical planning focus for urban sustainability. Incorporating nature-based solutions provides a holistic approach to environmental ...
Ocean Anoxic Events (OAEs) are discrete periods in Earth history of decreased marine oxygen concentrations. They are often associated with volcanism, marked by increased organic carbon burial in the oceans, and positive ...
Forests are an essential ecosystem for the sequestration of CO2, the dominant greenhouse
gas driving climate change, in the environment. The ability to accurately determine the
amount of carbon stock and sequestration ...
As humans continue to engineer and expand urban ecosystems, extant wildlife is increasingly exposed to novel pressures that drive changes in their spatial and temporal patterns, foraging tactics, anti-predator strategies, ...
This thesis identifies trends in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) development
and examines the status of UAS integration into the National Airspace System of the
United States. The current states of Federal Aviation ...
Twelve participatory paper maps by separate groups of men and women were facilitated
by the High Atlas Foundation in six communities in Morocco between 2010-2020 as part
of their process of participatory development. In ...
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule used by all living organisms to carry their genetic information and pass on their heritable traits between generations. DNA molecules have also other intrinsic properties that ...
With an overall lifetime risk of about 4.3% and 4.0%, in men and women respectively, colorectal cancer remains the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. In persons aged 55 and below, its rate ...
Bathymetry data form the underlying core information for studies in coastal and marine planning, coastal engineering, coastal hazards modeling, marine environment research, plate tectonics research and marine navigation. ...
Biodefense includes the implementation of various activities related to biological warfare, bioterrorism, biosurveillance, emergency preparedness, and medical countermeasure (MCM) development. According to the narratives ...
PSGL-1 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1) is a dimeric, mucin-like glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 120 kDa and functions as a ligand for P-, E-, and L-selectins. PSGL-1 is predominantly expressed on the surface of ...
Species of the genus Trapa, specifically Trapa natans, have plagued the northeastern US, including the tidal Potomac for over 100 years. Much has been learned about the ecology and management of T. natans, during this ...
Rising temperature is a major concern of urban livelihood and has become more severe with rapid urbanization. The complexity of built-up urban fabrics and the unevenly distributed anthropogenic heat release have led to ...
To improve the survivability of structures it is important to understand the dynamic failure behavior under impact loading. Impact tests have revealed that mode of failure on metal superalloys thick plate at high-speed ...
Computational biology is a powerful means to achieve a deeper understanding of the brain through modeling and simulations. To accomplish such a task, it is crucial to have the necessary data from all relevant components. ...
