Dataset For An Acute Bout Of Low- And Higher-Volume Circuit Training Improves Immediate And Short-Term Cognition In Young Adults, Ronald V. Croce, Michael Horvat

Data Catalog

The significance of exercise in promoting health and fitness cannot be overstated. In addition, various exercise modes can facilitate information processing and enhance cognition. The present study investigated the role of two volumes of circuit training using resistance exercise (Low Volume [LV-CTRE] of approximately 11 min and Higher Volume [HV-CTRE] of approximately 23 min) on the speed of information processing and executive function. Thirty adult male and female volunteers (18, male; 12, female) between the ages of 18-25 (mean [+ standard deviation]: 22.37 +2.06) were randomly recruited and assigned to either a non-exercise-control (CON), an LV-CTRE, or an HV-CTRE group. …

Water Use Efficiency, Leaf Physiology, And Productivity Of Black Willow (Salix Nigra Marshall) For Short Rotation Bioenergy Production In The Southern U.S., Heidi Renninger, Courtney Siegert, Thu Ya Kyaw

FWRC Publications

Short rotation woody crops (SRWCs) have potential to provide sustainable aviation fuels and exceptional carbon fiber for numerous products. However, many SRWCs are riparian species and measuring water use will ensure that large-scale plantations do not negatively impact surrounding hydrology. Traditionally, willows (Salix spp.) have been important SRWCs in cooler regions like northern Europe and the northeastern US. However, black willow (Salix nigra Marshall) is native to the southeastern US and could be grown in sites that are marginal for poplar (Populus) including heavy clay soils that tend to remain flooded into the growing season. Our …

Short-Term Impacts Of Biochar And Mycorrhizal Inoculation For Pinus Echinata Reforestation On Strip-Mined Soils, Casey Iwamoto, Courtney Siegert, Joshua J. Granger, Adam Polinko, Krishna P. Poudel, Zachary Freedman

FWRC Publications

Coal strip mining has left widespread degraded soils throughout the southeastern US. These soils tend to have low pH, high bulk density, impacted hydrologic processes, and an accumulation of heavy metals that limit revegetation efforts. Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) is an ideal species for these reforestation efforts as it can tolerate the poor conditions on post-mined sites and has the largest native pine range in the southeastern US, overlapping with many post-mined areas. However, limited empirical field studies have been conducted on the success of soil amendments for soil physical, chemical, biological properties and tree growth. To fill …

Data For Context-Dependence Of An Antipredator Response In Neotropical Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones), Austin Calhoun, Rachel Bowden, Ben Sadd

Faculty Publications – Biological Sciences

Inducible defence strategies evolve in response to temporally and spatially variable predation risk. Selection should favour the expression of these strategies when risk crosses a threshold, but expression may also depend on how effective a given strategy is across different contexts (e.g., social environment). For neotropical harvestmen, aggregation behaviour has been shown to be a group-level defence strategy but can be supplemented by additional behaviour to enhance antipredator defence. A secondary behavioural strategy termed “bobbing” has been documented as being associated with gregarious behaviour, in which individuals rapidly move their bodies up and down. This strategy has been proposed to …

Design Of 3d Printable Eco-Concrete By Utilizing Rheology Modifiers For Sustainable Infrastructure, Maryam Hojati, Muhammad Saeed Zafar

Data

In recent years, 3D printing technology has gained significant momentum across various industries within the construction sector, 3D printing has emerged as a promising technique; however, there are challenges associated with designing suitable construction materials and adjusting their properties for the 3D printing process. One of the key considerations in this regard is the rheological properties, encompassing parameters such as viscosity, yield stress, and thixotropy. These properties play a pivotal role in shaping the characteristics of 3D-printed concrete, both in its fresh and hardened states, including buildability, extrudability, and mechanical performance. Researchers have traditionally relied on chemical admixtures, such as …

Environmental Friendly Applications Of Ground Tire Rubber (Gtr) In Producing Concrete, Zahid Hossain, Ashraf Elsayed, Abu Sayed Mohammad Akid

Data

Millions of waste automobile tires are generated yearly, an ever-growing issue for solid waste management authorities in Arkansas. Using waste tires as fuel generates toxic gases or dumping them in landfills is not sustainable. Hence, it is crucial to minimize the issues of managing and disposing of waste tires and incorporate them into concrete as construction material. This study aimed to investigate the fresh, mechanical, and durability properties of concrete incorporating waste ground tire rubber (GTR) as a replacement for sand and micronized rubber powder (MRP) as a replacement for cement. A total of eight concrete mixtures were prepared using …

A New Generation Of Multi-Functional Asphalt Mixtures With Superhydrophobic And Luminescent Properties, Mostafa Elseifi, Md. T. A. Sarkar

Data

Every year, the United States invests billions of dollars in maintaining its roads and enhancing road safety, especially during severe weather conditions. Challenges such as flooding, snow, ice formation, and low visibility significantly affect road infrastructure and safety. The aim of this study was to develop a novel approach to create a new generation of multifunctional asphalt surfaces with enhanced water repellency and luminescent properties. To achieve this objective, two types of asphalt emulsions (BC-1HT and CSS-1H), one type of superhydrophobic nanomaterial (PTFE), and one SMA mix design were evaluated through various laboratory tests. These tests included scanning electron microscopy …

Investigating The Efficacy Of Natural And Nature-Based Features To Increase The Service Life Of Coastal Roadways, Navid Jafari, Mohammad O. Hassan

Data

Wetlands serve as essential natural barriers, protecting coastal regions against the increasing threats from hurricane-induced storm surges, rising sea levels, and changing weather patterns. Understanding their structural resilience is crucial, particularly the shear strength of the wetland soil-root matrix, which contributes significantly to stability under extreme weather events. However, evaluating this shear strength is challenging due to the complex nature of root systems and the varying amounts of live biomass and necromass at different soil depths. This study utilized a Large-scale Direct Shear Apparatus (LDSA) to address this gap by assessing the shear strength of root biomass in a horizontal …
