The jumping performance of two Eleutherodactylus frog species: the effect of temperature

1 month 2 weeks ago
Gisela Mía Crespo-Martínez
This study was undertaken to understand the species-specific response and the effect of changes in ambient temperature on the jumping performance of two congeneric tropical frog species, environmental specialist Eleutherodactylus wightmanae and environmental generalist Eleutherodactylus coqui, obtained from three distinct populations across their east-west longitudinal range in Puerto Rico. Three environmental temperatures currently experienced in their natural habitat were selected for...

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide and is known to have higher mortality among women with African ancestry. Herein, we describe the creation and characterization of a multiethnic breast cancer tissue microarray (ME-BrTMA) representing tumors from non-Hispanic White (n = 41), non-Hispanic Black (NHB; n = 45), and Hispanic patients from Puerto Rico (n = 36) and Florida (n = 52). This ME-BrTMA comprises five blocks with a total of 610 cores: 371...

Residuals: (or On the Use of Statistical Analysis to Perpetuate Systemic Racism)

David Claudio
This poem was inspired by my research and lived experiences. As an associate professor of industrial engineering, my research focuses on dismantling structural racism in health systems. My holistic view of processes has helped map out public health programs and identify where Hispanics are being left behind. As a Hispanic who lived in Montana for over a decade, my family and I have been marginalized solely due to our skin color, language, and accent, irrespective of our nationality or...

Genomic and Physiological Basis of Structural and Foliar Trait Variation in Tropical Species <em>Pterocarpus officinalis</em>: Implications for Restoration in Future Drier Climates

1 month 2 weeks ago
Sean M Collins
Tropical wetlands are some of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Pterocarpus officinalis exists in swampy wetlands in riparian and fresh-water coastal areas across the neotropics, supporting biodiversity and storm surge and flooding protection as well as water filtration. In Puerto Rico, P. officinalis-dominated forests have been severely declining in recent decades, mainly due to land development. Reversing this trend in the face of climate change and projected sea level rise via...

Selenium Adsorption on the (111), (100), (110) and (211) surfaces of Face-Centered-Cubic Metals: Density Functional Calculations of the Potential Energy Surfaces

Rolando L Albarracín Rivera
In this study, we expand the computational investigation of selenium, which has previously been limited to metals such as Cu, Fe, Pd, Au, and Pt. Utilizing density functional theory calculations, we explore the adsorption and diffusion of selenium at a low-coverage regime of 0.25 ML on a broader range of metal surfaces, including Ni, Cu, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir, Pt, and Au. Our results reveal that selenium exhibits a distinct preference for three-fold or four-fold high-coordination sites on most studied...
