A 1H NMR Network Approach for the Study of Specialized Metabolites: Development and Applications
(2021)The history of the World could not be told without mentioning specialized metabolites. Long before we had the notion of organic molecules, we were already sailing across the oceans in the pursue of their valuable sources, ... -

A 3D Numerical Study of Interface Effects Influencing Viscous Gravity Currents in a Parabolic Fissure, with Implications for Modeling with 1D Nonlinear Diffusion Equations
(2019)Although one-dimensional non-linear diffusion equations are commonly used to model flow dynamics in aquifers and fissures, they disregard multiple effects of real-life flows. Similarity analysis may allow further analytical ... -

A 400-year Tree-ring Chronology from the Tropical Treeline of North America
(2001)High-elevation sites in the tropics may be particularly sensitive to rapid climate change. By sampling treeline populations, I have developed the first extensive (> 300 years) tree-ring chronology in tropical North America. ... -

A Basic Evaluation of Distraction
(2013)AbstractThe author developed and applied a laboratory preparation to evaluate the effects of distraction on performance under varying conditions. "Distraction" occurs when there is suppression in the frequency of a response. ... -

A Bayesian Multilevel Model for the Psychometric Function using R and Stan
(2020)A common neuroscience topic is to determine the temporal order of two stimuli, and is often studied via a logistic model called a psychometric function. The data arises from repeated sampling of subjects across a variety ... -

A Behavior Analytic Account of Stereotype Threat
(2022)Although behavior analysis has contributed substantially to the understanding and study of learning in humans, cultural influences are often either overlooked or not accounted for in how they impact individuals in their ... -

A Behavior Analytic Approach to Childbirth: A Contingency Analysis and Preliminary Investigation
(2016)The “cascade of interventions” associated with analgesia use during childbirth has contributed to the U.S. having some of the poorest birth outcomes of any developed nation (Clark, Belfort, Byrum, Meyers, & Perlin, 2008; ... -

A Behavior Analytic Evaluation of a Cultural Adaptation of Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr) for Latinx Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
(2022)An area that is growing in the field of behavior analysis is in the domain of cultural and language adaptations. Despite the substantial evidence to support the use of cultural adaptations in evidence based treatments ... -

A behavior analytic examination of social loafing
(2020)Social loafing is a phenomenon in which individuals working in groups exert less effort than when they work alone, resulting in substantial losses in productivity. Social loafing has a broad empirical and theoretical ... -

A Bi-Directional, Liquid-Spring-Magnetorheological-Fluid-Damper System
(2019)The goal of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel fail-safe, bi-directional liquid spring, controllable magnetorheological fluid damper (BDLS-CMRD). This research introduces a device with independently ... -

A biogeographic perspective on the evolution of fire syndromes in pine trees (Pinus: Pinaceae)
(2018)Our goals were to explore the relationship between biogeography and the evolution of fire-adaptive syndromes in the genus Pinus. We used a previously published time-calibrated phylogeny and conducted ancestral trait ... -

A Bivariate Distribution Connected with Poissonian Maxima of Exponential Variables
(2009)In this work we present a bivariate distribution of X and N, where N has a Poisson distribution and X is the maximum of N independent, identically distributed exponential variables. The joint bivariate distribution is ... -

A Bivariate Gamma Mixture Discrete Pareto Distribution
(2017)We study a four-parameter generalization of the of bivariate exponential geometric (BEG) law of Kozubowski and Panorska (2005) and bivariate gamma geometric (BGG) law (Barreto-Souza, 2012). The new bivariate distribution ... -
