Surface Coverage Dynamics For Reversible Dissociative Adsorption On Finite Linear Lattices, Enrique Mercado, Hyun Tae Jung, Changho Kim, Alejandro L. Garcia, Andy J. Nonaka, John B. Bell

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Dissociative adsorption onto a surface introduces dynamic correlations between neighboring sites not found in non-dissociative absorption. We study surface coverage dynamics where reversible dissociative adsorption of dimers occurs on a finite linear lattice. We derive analytic expressions for the equilibrium surface coverage as a function of the number of reactive sites, N, and the ratio of the adsorption and desorption rates. Using these results, we characterize the finite size effect on the equilibrium surface coverage. For comparable N’s, the finite size effect is significantly larger when N is even than when N is odd. Moreover, as N increases, the size …

Genomic Approaches To Mitigating Genetic Diversity Loss In Declining Populations, Christen M. Bossu, Marina Rodriguez, Christine Rayne, Debra A. Chromczak, Philip G. Higgins, Lynne A. Trulio, Kristen C. Ruegg Oct 2023

Genomic Approaches To Mitigating Genetic Diversity Loss In Declining Populations, Christen M. Bossu, Marina Rodriguez, Christine Rayne, Debra A. Chromczak, Philip G. Higgins, Lynne A. Trulio, Kristen C. Ruegg

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

The accelerating pace of global biodiversity loss is exacerbated by habitat fragmentation and subsequent inbreeding in small populations. To address this problem, conservation practitioners often turn to assisted breeding programmes with the aim of enhancing genetic diversity in declining populations. Although genomic information is infrequently included in these efforts, it has the potential to significantly enhance the success of such programmes. In this study, we showcase the value of genomic approaches for increasing genetic diversity in assisted breeding efforts, specifically focusing on a highly inbred population of Western burrowing owls. To maximize genetic diversity in the resulting offspring, we begin …

This contribution to the RECCAP2 (REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes) assessment analyzes the processes that determine the global ocean carbon sink, and its trends and variability over the period 1985–2018, using a combination of models and observation-based products. The mean sea-air CO2 flux from 1985 to 2018 is −1.6 ± 0.2 PgC yr−1 based on an ensemble of reconstructions of the history of sea surface pCO2 (pCO2 products). Models indicate that the dominant component of this flux is the net oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2, which is estimated at −2.1 ± 0.3 PgC yr−1 by an ensemble of ocean …

In-Group Favoritism Or Black Sheep Effect? The Moderating Role Of Norm Strength On Destination Residents’ Responses Towards Deviant Behaviors, Lujun Su, Huixuan Chen, Yinghua Huang, Xiuqiong Chen

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Drawing on social identity theory and focus theory of norms, this study investigated differences in how destination residents respond to deviant behaviors by other residents—members of their in-group—and similar behavior by tourists, who they see as the out-group. We proposed and tested a conceptual model of the transition between in-group favoritism and the black sheep effect under the moderating effect of norm strength. A mixed-method approach, including a secondary data study and three scenario-based experiments, was applied. Findings of this study revealed that focal residents showed in-group favoritism for other residents' deviant behavior compared with tourists. The contagion effect of …


When Librarians Talk With Conservatives About Libraries, Bill Crowley Sep 2023

When Librarians Talk With Conservatives About Libraries, Bill Crowley

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The article addresses the possibility of minimizing instances of book banning, program protest, director firing, and library defunding in conservative Republican communities. The aim is to suggest ways of reducing strife while preserving the maximum possible local access to socially just public library collections and services. It begins with an exploration of the causes of the present day’s seemingly irreconcilable confrontations in conservative communities over the socially just services of many public libraries. The influence of contemporary versions of the “library faith” and religiously inspired “callings” on disputes over children’s books and programming is examined. Finally, the article goes beyond …

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) strike an effective balance between ionic conductivity and mechanical flexibility for lithium-ion solid-state batteries. Long-term performance, however, is limited by capacity fading after hundreds of charge and discharge cycles. The causes of performance degradation include multiple contributing factors such as dendrite formation, physicochemical changes in electrolytes, and structural remodeling of porous electrodes. Among the many factors that contribute to performance degradation, the effect of stress specifically on the composite electrolyte is not well understood. This study examines the mechanical changes in a poly(ethylene oxide) electrolyte with bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide. Two different sizes of Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 particles (500 nm …
