Dimensional Reduction of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides by Oxide Insertion: Quasi‐1D Oxychalcogenide Semiconductors

ABSTRACT Heteroanionic solids offer unique levers for tuning structures and properties, but accessing multianion phase space remains challenging due to mismatches in anion reactivity. Here, we describe a new family of A 2 Hf 3 Q 6 O (A = K, Rb, Cs; Q = S, Se) oxychalcogenides, th...

Extensive glacier loss in the coterminous United States

Glaciers populate the mountain ranges of the western conterminous United States and despite their importance to alpine hydrology, their area and volume change have never been comprehensively evaluated. Our study shows that since the mid-twentieth century about one-quarter of the...

Measurements and Analysis of Light Non‐Methane Hydrocarbon Mole Fractions in 1982–1987 at Six Remote Sites Along the Pacific Rim

Abstract Atmospheric non‐methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) are important trace species with anthropogenic and natural sources including fugitive emissions from fossil fuel mining and distribution, biomass burning, biofuel combustion, and biogenic emissions from microbes and plants. We...

Not Merely a Workaround: Theorizing Asynchronous Math Talks as a Robust Instructional Routine for Visible Thinking, Participation, and Engagement in Mathematics Teacher Education

The sudden global shift due to COVID-19 accelerated the need for a better understanding of mathematics learning and teaching in an asynchronous format. Also, despite the popular use of mathematics instructional routines in mathematics classrooms, the field of mathematics educatio...

Inherited Local Shrinkage for Adaptive Functional Form Discovery

Statistical models frequently employ nonlinear effects, interactions, and multiresolution basis expansions to represent complex relationships between predictors and responses. Determining the appropriate level of model complexity, however, remains a fundamental challenge. This di...

Multiple drivers and long-term patterns of the ecology of segregation in Latin America

Segregation is a multidimensional phenomenon deeply entwined with historical, social, and ecological contexts. The ecology of segregation framework explores how social norms institutionalize racism, classism, and power dynamics to drive inequitable patterns of environmental benef...

Beyond redlining: Gentrification, displacement, disadvantages, and exclusivity predict urban environmental and health inequities

This study investigated environmental justice by developing and comparing four contemporary urban segregation typologies (persistent exclusivity, persistent disadvantage, recent gentrification, and recent displacement-hosting) with historical Homeowners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) z...

Explainable Binary Classification of Separable Shape Ensembles

Abstract Scientists, engineers, biologists, and technology specialists universally leverage image segmentation to extract shape ensembles containing many thousands of curves representing patterns in observations and measurements. These large curve ensembles facilitate statistical...

Critical environmental accounting and accountability in anti-democratic times: Agonistic repoliticization and critical environmental politics

To foster and advance critical environmental accounting and accountability (CEAA) research, we argue there is a need to foreground the political dimensions of environmental issues by addressing plurality, conflict, contestability and power. Contemporary environmental accounting a...

Reproducibility, Replicability, and Research Quality in Homogeneous Catalysis

Abstract Researchers from all sectors of homogeneous catalysis convened in response to concerns regarding reproducibility in science to analyze the issue and provide recommendations. In addition to an in-person workshop, the group engaged the broader homogeneous catalysis communi...

The hunger games: procurement strategies under unmitigable supplier dominance

Purpose Most procurement research assumes that buyers possess negotiation power and viable alternatives. However, such assumptions do not hold in practice, as buyers in many industries operate under unmitigable supplier dominance. Against this backdrop, we examine how weaker buye...

Post-fire erosion and debris flows in the western Pacific Northwest, United States: recent science and opportunities

Most research into post-fire geomorphology has been conducted in regions with frequent fire, such as in dry Mediterranean and temperate climates and less has been conducted in wet forests where wildfire is now expanding with climate change. Because climate, soils, topography, veg...

Representation Stability in the Intrinsic Hyperplane Arrangements Associated to Irreducible Representations of the Symmetric Groups

Some of the most classically relevant Hyperplane arrangements are the Braid Arrangements B n and their associated complement spaces ℱ n . In their recent work, Tsilevich, Vershik, and Yuzvinsky [23] construct what they refer to as the intrinsic hyperplane arrangement within any i...

The Cross-Section of Empirical Evidence and Personal Experience: A Deeper Look at School Resource Officers Through the Lens of Demarcus A. Jenkins’ Research on the Public Opinion of Their Potential Removal From Public Schools

Following the 2020 Black Lives Matter and Anti-Police movements, there were many discussions across the nation about possible changes to law enforcement operations. Among these discussions included specific discussions about what to do about law enforcement officers stationed in...

Behind the hype: a closer look at voice assistant skills, product control strategy and user evaluations

Purpose Drawing on the assemblage framework and signaling theory, this research examines how a voice skill's product control strategy, specifically controllability variety and complexity, shapes perceived intelligence and user evaluations. It also explores the invocation strategy...

Can I Trust You? A Longitudinal Study of the Consequences of Suspicion Among Latina/o Students

Racial/ethnic minority group members vary in the extent to which they are chronically suspicious of the motives behind White people’s positive behavior toward minorities. Chronic suspicion has been shown to shape racial/ethnic minorities’ perception, cognition, emotion, and physi...

Variables That Influence Changes in Temporomandibular Joint Structure

ABSTRACT Background There are no objective measures which forecast longitudinal changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Objective To identify variables that predicted longitudinal changes in TMJ structure. Methods Over an average of 8 years, baseline and follow‐up computed...

Addressing Common Problems in Autism Research: Cohort Development and Sample Description for a Participatory, Real-World, Longitudinal Study of Outcomes in Autistic Adults

Adult autism services research is plagued by methodological challenges, including difficulty obtaining representative or heterogeneous samples and a frequent mismatch between experimental methodologies and real-world settings. The Academic Autism Spectrum Partnership in Research...

Quantum Pseudorandom Scramblers

Abstract. Quantum pseudorandom state generators ( PRSG s) have stimulated exciting developments in recent years. A PRSG , on a fixed initial (e.g., all-zero) state, produces an output state that is computationally indistinguishable from a Haar random state. However, pseudorandomn...
