From Resource Mapping To Mechanism Identification: A Lunar Tethered-Satellite Exploration System And China’S Strategic Opportunities, Wei Yong, Zhiping He, Yanchu Yang, Ke Wang, Junqiang Zhu

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

Lunar exploration is undergoing a paradigm shift from resource mapping to mechanism identification. Key processes, such as the modulation of volatiles by magnetic anomalies and the contribution of Earth wind to surface hydration, require strictly synchronized observations of magnetic-field gradients, particle fluxes, spectrally detected volatiles, and subsurface hydrogen within the same spatiotemporal window. However, a still-unfilled “near-lunar-surface intermediate layer” gap exists between conventional single-spacecraft orbiters and landed rovers: the capability for multi-altitude, multi-parameter, strictly synchronized process observations. A tethered dual-satellite system, consisting of a main satellite and a subsatellite connected by a 5–10 km short tether, naturally provides a dual-altitude …

Multi-Sensor Tracking Reveals The Extent Of Nocturnal Migration In Landbirds, Paul Dufour, Raphaël Nussbaumer, Paul Doniol-Valcroze, Yann Rime, Peter Adamík, Susanne Åkesson, Raphaël Arlettaz, Arnaud G. Barras, Nyambayar Batbayar, Andrea Contina

School of Integrative Biological & Chemical Sciences Faculty Publications

Most bird species are diurnal but drastically change their diel cycle of activity to migrate at night. Nocturnal migration has been documented using different methods (e.g., experiments, radar and radio tracking, and acoustic monitoring), but accurately quantifying the proportion of nocturnal versus diurnal flight at the individual and species levels, and understanding how this behavior evolved across the avian tree, has remained methodologically challenging.1,2,3 Such uncertainty is not only of theoretical importance but also limits our ability to mitigate conservation threats, particularly from light pollution and building collisions.4,5,6 With multi-sensor …

Catalogue Of The Water Striders (Hemiptera: Gerridae) Of Mississippi, Chase G. Fry, Patricia L.S. Wooden

Midsouth Entomologist

Water striders (Hemiptera: Gerridae) are skating aquatic insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts that opportunistically feed on prey trapped by surface tension. The presence or absence of water striders and other aquatic Hemiptera in water systems may be important indicators of water quality. Despite their importance, the last aquatic Hemiptera checklist for the state was published in 1988. Since this publication, humans have altered waterways to meet their needs, and Gerridae taxonomy has continued to evolve. This study aims to create a current checklist of Gerridae, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the species found in Mississippi before aquatic habitats are …

Designing Data Centers For Demand Response Through A Construction-Phase Readiness Index, Arezou Shafaghat, Da Hu, Ali Keyvanfar

Faculty Articles

AI-driven growth is pushing data-center electricity demand from 415 TWh (2024) toward 945 TWh by 2030. Demand-response research has matured on operational levers but treats the physical envelope as largely exogenous, leaving construction-phase decisions that bound achievable flexibility unmodeled. This article integrates three previously separate bodies of literature (data-center demand response, grid-interactive efficient buildings, and stochastic optimal control under irreversibility) into a single framework that prices construction-phase flexibility as a portfolio of real options, pairing elicitation-derived (FAHP) weights with simulation-derived (Sobol) variance indices. None of the individual techniques is new; the contribution is their synthesis and the finding that architectural …

Functional Divergence Of Capicua Isoforms Explains Differential Tissue Vulnerability In Neurological Disease, Mark A Durham, Ronald Richman, Elizabeth H-Y Chu, Kailey Xia, Hu Chen, Zhandong Liu, Surabi Veeraragavan, Binoy Shivanna, Huda Y Zoghbi

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Many neurological diseases impact specific brain regions despite widespread expression of the disease-related protein. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) primarily affects the cerebellum, though Ataxin-1 (ATXN1) is widely expressed. We previously showed that intensified interaction between mutant ATXN1 and Capicua (CIC) drives SCA1 pathogenesis in the cerebellum, whereas ATXN1 loss augments amyloid β production in the hippocampus and cortex. CIC, however, forms a complex with ATXN1 and its paralog, Ataxin-1-like (ATXN1L), yet knockout of either yields completely different phenotypes. To determine whether this could be due to CIC having two isoforms, we generated mice bearing either the long (CIC-L) or …

Unveiling Wolf Dietary Specialization On Free Ranging Horses Using Forensic Genetics And Field Monitoring, Mónia Nakamura, Helena Rio-Maior, Monamie Ringhofer, Shinya Yamamoto, Satoshi Hirata, Francisco Álvares

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Wolves occasionally specialize on free-ranging horses when they are abundant and alternative prey is scarce, potentially reducing horse productivity, triggering conflicts with owners, and hampering conservation of both species. Yet, ecological and demographic impacts of wolf predation on horses remain poorly understood. We investigated wolf-horse interactions in NW Portugal by combining wolf monitoring, diet analysis, spatial overlap between wolf and horse activity areas, and horse pedigree reconstruction from genetically identified individuals recovered from wolf scat remains, feeding sites and horse faecal samples. Horses comprised 85% and 93% of wolf consumed biomass in 2017 and 2018 respectively, suggesting strong positive selection. …

Jiriki And Tariki: Zen And Jōdo Shinshū Through Hakuin And Rennyo, Anthony Baker

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Both Hakuin Ekaku 白隠慧鶴 (1685 – 1768) and Rennyo Shōnin 蓮如上人 (1415 – 1499) used different Buddhist practices to achieve enlightenment. The soteriological practice of Zen Buddhism, understood as kenshō 見性, or “seeing into one’s nature,” and the soteriological practices of Pure Land Buddhism, understood as anjin 安心, or “the settled mind,” are often viewed as opposites because they purport that the practitioner reaches enlightenment through two different means. Rinzai Zen Buddhism claims to obtain kenshō through jiriki 自力, or self-power. The Buddhist practitioner uses their own effort to break through barriers and obtain for themselves, on their own behalf, …

The Sacred Garden: An Exploration Of Black Women’S Sexual Pleasure As Healing And Liberatory Practice, Brittany M. Young

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Much of sexology (i.e., sex science) employs a non-inclusive, sex-negative and anti-Black perspective. Most research about Black sexuality, specifically Black women’s sexuality, is rooted in negativity, promiscuity, shame, and the erasure of pleasure. To undo such a narrow, harmful, and dehumanizing view of Black women’s sexuality, this qualitative study employed an intersectional, pleasure-focused, and sex-positive framework to explore how Endarkened (Black) women’s sexual pleasure is a healing and liberatory practice. This study also delved into Endarkened women’s femininity/feminine expression to understand how Black femininity functions as a form of feminine resistance by not existing within patriarchal femininity. Guided by Lorde’s …

Influence Of Externalizing And Adhd-Related Phenotypes On Emotion Dysregulation In Adults: An Event-Related Potential Study Of Cognitive Preappraisal And Motivated Attention, Logan Michael Brewer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Emotion dysregulation (ED) has become increasingly recognized as an important dimension of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and externalizing pathology. However, little is known regarding the neural processes underlying ED in adults with ADHD. Two event-related potentials (ERPs), the late positive potential (LPP) and probe P3, have been found to capture important facets of motivational attention during the passive viewing of affective images. We aimed to explore the influence of ADHD and externalizing symptomatology--as indexed by self-report and behavioral measures--on the centroparietal LPP, frontocentral LPP, and probe P3 using a preappraisal paradigm. Sixty-eight undergraduate students completed the Externalizing Spectrum Inventory (ESI-100) and …

Education Of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome And The Usage Of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, Kristina Cockerill

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that affects many women starting at puberty and continuing through to menopause. This disorder causes a lot of issues, such as facial hair, obesity, irregular menses, cysts on the ovaries, and insulin resistance. It can also, however, cause other long-term effects like metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular complications, kidney disease, and type II diabetes if not properly treated. The traditional treatment for PCOS is metformin, which helps the body use the insulin that it produces to control symptoms of PCOS. However, most women continue to have symptoms, and they are not aware that glucagon-like …
