A Phenomenological Study of Stakeholders' Experiences With Integrating Client Feedback in the Counseling Process

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of stakeholders with accessing and integrating client feedback into counseling through a constructivist phenomenological approach. Participants included clients, counselors, and administrators from one outpatient c...

Environmental gradients shape the hydrocarbon-degrading microbiome in two mid-Atlantic bays

ABSTRACT Hydrocarbons are recalcitrant organic matter that is released into the environment via natural and anthropogenic activities. We hypothesized that abiotic and biotic factors, including salinity, temperature, seasonality, microbial interactions, and functional redundancy,...

A Digital Twin–Based Simulation Framework for Safe Curve Speed Estimation Using Unity

Horizontal curves are often associated with roadway crashes because of speed misjudgment and loss of control. With the growing adoption of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), the accurate estimation of safe speed at curves is becoming increasingly important. The widely used...

The use of real‐world data in health services research for dementia care: A scoping review

Abstract Health services research (HSR) is critical to informing dementia care and often relies on real‐world data (RWD); however, RWD use in HSR has not been systematically mapped in the United States. Following previous researchers and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic R...

Anti-predation behavior resolves sexual conflict over mating rate and duration in a protandric-simultaneous hermaphrodite

The reproductive interests of males and females rarely coincide, and thus, sexual conflict should be widespread in sexual species and favor the evolution of traits that bias the outcome of mating interactions towards the participant’s own interests. Sexual conflict theory has ach...

When victimization hurts more: Psychological disability status moderates the relationships between bullying victimization and mental health outcomes among college students

Objective We examined differences in prevalence and severity for three victimization types (traditional and cyberbullying, technology-facilitated sexual exploitation) among college students who reported/did not report a psychological disability. Furthermore, we explored disabilit...

Tobacco use and increased risk of ACL and meniscus injury and surgical intervention: a matched-cohort study of 3 million patients

Abstract Meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most common knee injuries, yet little is known about whether tobacco use affects their incidence, need for subsequent surgery, or postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS). We retrospectively analyzed a...

A structured taxonomy of autonomous manufacturing systems: Capabilities, definitions, and enabling technologies

Smart manufacturing has introduced adaptive, data-driven systems to the shop floor and beyond. However, current deployments operate near their technological limits, lacking the contextual adaptability, resilience, and independent decision-making required to manage unplanned disru...

How Criminal History Informs—and Misinforms—Decision-Making in the Criminal Legal System

Criminal history is among the most influential factors shaping decisions in the modern criminal legal system. Prior record affects outcomes at every stage, from charging through parole. Although long considered relevant to punishment, contemporary policies and practices dispropor...

GlycoMAC: A Multiscale Metabolic‐Glycosylation Framework for Predicting Glycosylation Across Conditions in Mammalian Cell Cultures

Antibody productivity and glycosylation quality in CHO cell cultures emerge from a dynamically evolving metabolic environment, yet existing models often work in isolation or at a single scale. Here, we present a multiscale mechanistic framework linking molecular, cellular, and ma...

Machine Learning and Statistical Models for Genomic Selection of Phytophthora Fruit Rot Resistance in Watermelon

Breeding for Phytophthora fruit rot (PFR) resistance caused by the devastating pathogen Phytophthora capsici remains challenging in watermelon mainly due to phenotyping constraints. To overcome these bottlenecks, we developed and validated genomic selection models using an inters...

Improving grain yield prediction in Southern US oat germplasm using genomics information and environmental covariates

Genetic gains of oat (Avena sativa L.) grain yield have been historically low compared to other major cereal crops. The use of machine learning models to capture complex interactions and leveraging data types other than genomic information in prediction models has great potential...

An integrative approach to predicting student motivation

This study examined the extent to which demographics (sex), personality traits (extraversion and neuroticism), cognitive dispositions (resilience and locus of control), social-personal dispositions (Machiavellianism), and instructional communicative behaviors (teacher confirmatio...

Influence of Central Metal and Halide Size on the Structure and Photophysics of Group 4 Arylalkynyl Metallocenes and their CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) Complexes

The structural and photophysical consequences of varying the central metal in a series of group 4 arylalkynyl metallocene complexes and varying the halide (X) in a series of heterobimetallic arylalkynyl metallocene complexes with CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) bound between the alkynes are...

Impact of SGA, AGA, and LGA birthweight subclassification on NICU mortality risk identification: a cohort study

Abstract Objective To assess whether subdividing small (SGA, <10th), appropriate (AGA, 10th–90th), and large (LGA, >90th percentile) for gestational age (GA) birthweight classifications improves mortality risk estimation among preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units (NIC...

A New Look at the Relationship Between Individual Differences in Cognitive Abilities and Automation-Assisted Performance

ObjectiveThis study explored whether and which cognitive abilities are supported by various levels of automation.BackgroundParasuraman's (2000) model of automation provided guidance for designing automation to augment cognitive tasks. Subsequent mixed empirical findings and evolv...

Bridging Minds and Machines: Mapping the Terrain of Communication in Human-AI Teams — A Systematic Literature Review

As AI becomes increasingly adept at communicating with humans in natural language and complementing human skills in various collaborative and teamwork settings, how the CSCW community understands the evolving role of communication in human-AI teams (HATs) urgently needs to keep p...

Profile Analysis of the Multiwavelength 2.1-year Oscillations of PG 1553+113

We investigate the morphology of the oscillation profiles of the blazar PG~1553+113 in relation to its well-known 2.1 yr periodicity. We identify individual cycles in the gamma-ray, X-ray, UV, and optical light curves and characterize their temporal profiles using analytical mode...

Development and Preliminary Feasibility Testing of PACERS , a Physical Activity‐Centered Intervention for Rural Older Adults With Hypertension

BACKGROUND: A high prevalence of hypertension is observed among American rural residents. This study aimed to engage rural community members in designing, developing, and preliminarily testing the feasibility of a physical activity (PA)-centered health promotion intervention inte...

Assessing Climate Resilience Management Education Needs for Forage-Livestock Ecosystems in the Southeast USA

The growing worldwide demand for food and fiber is met with limited agricultural land for expansion, climate challenges, and rising production costs. Resilient management strategies are needed to address dynamic biotic and abiotic variables in forage-livestock systems. The object...
