Simulating implications of fish behavioral response for managing hypoxia in estuaries with spatial dissolved oxygen variability.

Hypoxia, or low dissolved oxygen (DO), is a widespread water quality problem affecting estuaries and coastal waters around the world. Water quality criteria for DO have been established for every estuary in the US and are an important part of the regulatory response to nutrient pollution and associated anthropogenic eutrophication. Experimental studies examining effects of low DO exposure have been to quantify outcomes based on hypoxia effects observed in individuals, such as increased mortality or growth impairment.

Soleris® Automated System for the Rapid Detection of Burkholderia cepacia Complex in Cosmetic Products.

Background: Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen with rising concern in pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products. The Bcc supplement (S2-BCC-S) was purposely developed and used with the Pseudomonas vial (PD-109) for the detection of Bcc through the Soleris® Next Generation automated instrument system.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the Soleris Bcc testing method for cosmetic products.

Improved Constraints on Primordial Gravitational Waves using Planck, WMAP, and BICEP/Keck Observations through the 2018 Observing Season.

We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2, Keck Array, and BICEP3 CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2018 observing season. We add additional Keck Array observations at 220 GHz and BICEP3 observations at 95 GHz to the previous 95/150/220  GHz dataset. The Q/U maps now reach depths of 2.

Baccalaureate Nursing Students' Perceptions of Learning in Mentored and Simulated Research Practica.

Background: A simulated research practicum was developed in our nursing program to increase the number of quality research placements for our students. In order to evaluate the success of this simulation activity, we compared students' experiences in simulated and traditional mentored research placements.

Method: A convenience sample of baccalaureate nursing students enrolled in an introductory research course in Ontario, Canada, was surveyed.

An Innovative Simulated Research Practicum for Undergraduate Nursing Students.

Background: An understanding of the research process and familiarity with research methods is essential to nursing curricula to prepare graduates to participate in the generation of new nursing knowledge. A research practicum with nurse researchers is one way of providing intensive hands-on training. At our institution, research placements for students has become difficult for a number of reasons.
