Dissertations are a foundational scientific product; they are the formative product that early-career scientists create and share original knowledge. The methodological approaches used in dissertations vary with the research field. In plant ecology, these approaches include observations, experiments (field or controlled environment), literature reviews, theoretical approaches, or analyses of existing data (including "big data").

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the vertebral morphology of grass carp, focusing on the anatomical structure of their vertebral centrum, which is crucial for understanding vertebrate development.
  • - High-resolution micro-CT scans of three abdominal vertebrae revealed that grass carp vertebrae have an amphicoelous shape and show bilateral symmetry, although the caudal aspect is larger and more robust, suggesting possible adaptations related to swimming.
  • - The research raises questions about whether the observed vertebral characteristics are influenced by genetics or environmental factors, and proposes future studies to explore these aspects in both aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates.

Article Synopsis
  • Synthetic rubber relies on fossil fuels, which are costly and subject to price fluctuations, while natural rubber latex (NRL) from plants presents a sustainable alternative.
  • This study aims to improve the mechanical strength of NRL by incorporating sustainably processed carboxycellulose nanofibers (NOCNF) made from jute biomass.
  • Analysis shows that as the concentration of NOCNF increases, the tensile strength and film modulus of the NRL/NOCNF composite improve, but the material becomes less elastic and more brittle, reaching optimal performance at 0.2 wt. % NOCNF.

This study examined the relationship between psychosocial factors in the patient-oncologist relationship and aspects of care among women with breast cancer. Breast cancer patients (N = 118) completed a questionnaire about their relationship with their oncologist, their treatment, and their health. While trust was related to several positive outcomes, physician supportiveness was most strongly related to satisfaction with care, and health care access was most strongly associated with general health.

This study was designed to see if pediatricians are collecting sufficient data in family histories to be able to ascertain whether children are at risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Surveys were returned by 326 general pediatricians who were members of the Second Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The majority of pediatricians (98.
