The Young Brickmakers
(2020)
In 2020, a young brickmaker (Kelsea Best) provides an update to B. K. Forscher's 1963 vision of the state of the scientific endeavor as a brickyard. As the brickyard becomes ever more chaotic, this essay calls on young ...
Nonlocal Sediment Transport on Steep Lateral Moraines, Eastern Sierra Nevada, California, USA
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 2017)
Recent work has highlighted the significance of long-distance particle motions in hillslope
sediment transport. Such motions imply that the flux at a given hillslope position is appropriately
described as a weighted ...
Prominent Influence of Socioeconomic and Governance Factors on the Food-Energy-Water Nexus in sub-Saharan Africa
(Earths Future, 2019-09)
Food, energy, and water (FEW) are primary resources required for human populations and ecosystems. Availability of the raw resources is essential, but equally important are the services that deliver resources to human ...
Transstadial immune activation in a mosquito: Adults that emerge from infected larvae have stronger antibacterial activity in their hemocoel yet increased susceptibility to malaria infection
(Ecology and Evolution, 2019-05)
Larval and adult mosquitoes mount immune responses against pathogens that invade their hemocoel. Although it has been suggested that a correlation exists between immune processes across insect life stages, the influence ...
Rarefied particle motions on hillslopes: 2. Analysis (Supplementary Material)
(2020)
We conducted two sets of experiments. The first set was aimed at demonstrating the basis for treating the proportion of energy extraction, βx, as a random variable. In the second set of experiments we launched particles ...
