CAREER: Morphology, performance, and ecology of the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse and co-occurring wetland rodents
Understanding why a species is endangered is critical to planning for its recovery. Combining work in the field and in the laboratory, this study investigates the endangered salt m...
IntBIO: Linking genome to phenome to understand the function of Masticatory Myosin
Muscles provide the primary means for animals to produce force, move, and interact with their environment. Muscle function is a consequence of hierarchical structure from molecular...
High-Speed Quantum Magnetic Widefield Imaging
With support from the Chemical Measurement and Imaging (CMI) program of the Chemistry Division and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), Mark Ku and h...
Collaborative Research: Quantifying the effects of different nitrogen forms on marsh resilience to environmental change
Nitrogen delivery from watersheds to the coast harms aquatic ecosystems, including the formation of dead zones where oxygen concentrations drop below levels that can support most a...
Examining the long-term social legacy of mega urban projects - A comparison of Shanghai and Dujiangyan City
Defined as costly large scale urban development schemes with substantive impacts on the economy, society and environment (Fainstein, 2008), mega projects have become a significant...
Understanding and conserving tropical freshwater ecosystems
A healthy water environment is essential to life. Freshwater ecosystems occupy less than 1% of the Earth's surface, make up only 0.01% of all water, yet host ca. 10% of all known s...
Development, Diversity And Evolution Of Reptilian Skull Shape
What factors determine animal shape, both during the life of an individual and during evolution? Identifying the forces shaping organismal form and biodiversity is recognised as on...
The emergence of complex structural organisation in skeletal muscle
During development, an organism goes from a single fertilised cell through to an adult with multiple organs. These organs are precisely shaped and the internal cellular structure t...
Developing Machine Learning Potential to Unravel Quantum Effect on Ionic Hydration and Transport in Nanoscale Confinement
Nanoporous materials such as carbon nanotubes have served as the foundation for creating advanced separation technologies that sustainably support human society; for example, by pr...
“Puerto Rican Higher Education Researchers Association, Thriving not just Surviving (HEARTS) conference
With support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program), this conference aims to support faculty in Puerto Rico so that they can i...
TONSILS: AN UNRECOGNIZED ROLE IN INFLUENZA VIRUS EVOLUTION
Identifying the host factors that contribute to influenza virus (IV) pathogenesis are critical for disease control and preventing pandemics. The tonsils comprise 2 lymphoid organs...
Aqueous Territory: Learning from Louisiana's Colonial Histories and Watery Extremes
Global climate change is affecting the popular Western cultural perception of water as a stable resource. In the UK, major flood events have occurred every year since 2007 due to r...
Collaborative Research: Regulation of exocytic membrane trafficking required for cytokinesis and polarized cell expansion
The plasma membrane is the outer membrane of all cells that regulates the entry and exit of material between the inside of the cell and its environment. In plants, the plasma memb...
All About Me: An Intervention to Ease the Transition to Long-term Care, Build Community, and Improve Quality of Care for Persons with Dementia
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Given the large number of persons with dementia (PWD) who move into long-term care (LTC) settings each year, and the issues that arise during both this...
Quantum Control of Vanadium Nuclear Spin Registers Surrounding a Single Ytterbium Ion in a Crystal
Understanding and controlling solid state quantum systems at the level of single atoms, or atom-like systems, interacting with their environment is at the forefront of scientific r...

The plasma membrane is the outer membrane of all cells that regulates the entry and exit of material between the inside of the cell and its environment. In plants, the plasma memb...
Responsive Manufacturing of High Value Thin to Thick Films.
Thin films with a high technical specification are used in many everyday devices, including displays, solar cells, electronic devices, batteries, and sensors. Printing of the high-...
Quantifying Actinide-Ligand Covalency with Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering
The UK has invested in world-leading synchrotron X-ray facilities. This includes state-of-the-art resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) techniques that measure electronic stru...
Mechanisms of plasticity specification during an embryonic critical period.
Transient experiences during formative periods of development, called 'critical periods', have lasting impact on how our brains function. As indicated by the name, critical periods...
