Multi-scale synthesis of historical fire regimes along the south-central US prairie-forest border
(SpringerOpen, 2019)
Background: Along the prairie-forest border in the south-central USA exists one of the most extensive areas of uncut forest in the nation ([greater than]323 750 hectares), providing unique potential for developing multi-century ...
Bandgap prediction by deep learning in configurationally hybridized graphene and boron nitride
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
It is well-known that the atomic-scale and nano-scale configuration of dopants can play a crucial role in determining the electronic properties of materials. However, predicting such effects is challenging due to the large ...
Hierarchical reconstruction of high-resolution 3D models of large chromosomes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
Eukaryotic chromosomes are often composed of components organized into multiple scales, such as nucleosomes, chromatin fibers, topologically associated domains (TAD), chromosome compartments, and chromosome territories. ...
Discovery of anion insertion electrochemistry in layered hydroxide nanomaterials
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
Electrode materials which undergo anion insertion are a void in the materials innovation landscape and a missing link to energy efficient electrochemical desalination. In recent years layered hydroxides (LHs) have been ...
The mayor and the city manager

Students on the move
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2019)
A new, comprehensive approach to ensuring that students succeed is "ship-shape" - mentorship, leadership, entrepreneurship, scholarships, and much more.
House on the hill
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2019)
Novelist Stephanie Powell Watts lives and limns personal versions of the American Dream and meets Sarah Jessica Parker along the way.
Selecting socio-scientific issues for teaching : a grounded theory study of how science teachers collaboratively design SSI-based curricula
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Currently there is little guidance given to teachers in selecting focal issues for socio-scientific issues (SSI)-based teaching and learning. As a majority of teachers regularly collaborate with other teachers, understanding ...
Multidimensional approach to formulating a specialized diet for northern corn rootworm larvae
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
The northern corn rootworm (NCR), Diabrotica barberi Smith & Lawrence, is a major pest of maize (Zea mays L.). This pest has developed resistance to insecticides and adapted to crop rotation and may already be in the early ...
Multiple stochastic pathways in forced peptide-lipid membrane detachment
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
We have used high resolution AFM based dynamic force spectroscopy to investigate peptide-lipid membrane interactions by measuring the detachment (last-rupture) force distribution, P(F), and the corresponding force dependent ...
