Ba$_6$(Cu$_x$Z$_y$)Sn$_4$S$_{16}$(Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi, Sn): High chemical flexibility resulting in good nonlinear-optical properties
(American Chemical Society, 2022-02-07)Seven acentric sulfides Ba$_6$(Cu$_x$Z$_y$)Sn$_4$S$_{16}$ (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi, Sn) were grown by a high-temperature salt flux method. The crystal structures of the Ba$_6$(Cu$_x$Z$_y$)Sn$_4$S$_{16}$ (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, ... -
Babel and Bible (Chapter 7)
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)History writing also has its own history—historiography—and two of the debates that followed in the wake of new knowledge about ancient Babylon were that concerning the discovery of Mesopotamian creation myths (particularly ... -
Babylon's resurrection (Chapter 8)
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)The archaeological remains from Babylon were transported to Berlin and displayed in a monumental exhibit there. In describing the process of building the exhibit, the chapter touches on the responsibilities of archaeological ... -
Back to the future (Chapter 9)
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)The final chapter assesses the impact of the encounter between the received Babylon and the excavated Babylon on our knowledge and understanding of Babylon. The discussion leads into a reflection on the significance of ... -
Bacterial growth at the high concentrations of magnesium sulfate found in martian soils
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2012-02)The martian surface environment exhibits extremes of salinity, temperature, desiccation, and radiation that would make it difficult for terrestrial microbes to survive. Recent evidence suggests that martian soils contain ... -
Bacterial growth in brines formed by the deliquescence of salts relevant to cold arid worlds
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2022-01-11)Hygroscopic salts at Mars' near-surface (MgSO4, (per)chlorates, NaCl) may form brines by absorbing moisture from the atmosphere at certain times through the process of deliquescence. We have previously shown strong bacterial ... -
Bacterial growth in saturated and eutectic solutions of magnesium sulphate and potassium chlorate with relevance to Mars and the ocean worlds
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-01-28)Liquid water on Mars might be created by deliquescence of hygroscopic salts or by permafrost melts, both potentially forming saturated brines. Freezing point depression allows these heavy brines to remain liquid in the ... -
Bacterial growth tolerance to concentrations of chlorate and perchlorate salts relevant to Mars
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-07)The Phoenix lander at Mars polar cap found appreciable levels of (per)chlorate salts, a mixture of perchlorate and chlorate salts of Ca, Fe, Mg and Na at levels of similar to 0.6% in regolith. These salts are highly ... -
Bad for business: Luther against the papacy
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)This paper analyzes Martin Luther's criticism of increasingly corrupt church practices, including, the papacy's granting of indulgences, the promotion of pilgrimage, the preservation and exploitation of relics, the cult ... -
A balanced usability checklist approach to evaluate Palestinian hotel websites
(The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries, 2007-01)This paper introduces a Balanced Usability Checklist (BUC) approach to assess the usability of ten Palestinian hotel websites. The BUC is a modified version of the known checklist analysis technique of user interfaces and ... -
Barack Obama and world peace, a rhetorical inquiry
(Wichita State University, 2010-05)The thesis, entitled Barack Obama and World Peace: A Rhetorical Inquiry, is a qualitative research paper that appraises President Obama's commitment to global peace, through a thematic analysis of a cross section of his ... -
Bariatric surgery as a proxy for nutritional stress in stable isotope investigations of archaeological populations
(Elsevier, 2020-04)Pathophysiological fractionation of stable nitrogen and carbon isotopes during periods of nutritional stress has the potential to bias investigations of ancient diets using such methods, particularly when no corroborating ... -

A basic ddRADseq two‐enzyme protocol performs well with herbarium and silica‐dried tissues across four genera
(Wiley, 2020-04-23)Premise The ability to sequence genome‐scale data from herbarium specimens would allow for the economical development of data sets with broad taxonomic and geographic sampling that would otherwise not be possible. Here, ... -

The BAyesian STellar algorithm (BASTA): a fitting tool for stellar studies, asteroseismology, exoplanets, and Galactic archaeology
(Oxford University Press, 2021-09-29)We introduce the public version of the BAyesian STellar Algorithm (BASTA), an open-source code written in PYTHON to determine stellar properties based on a set of astrophysical observables. BASTA has been specifically ... -
Bayesian variable selection and estimation in quantile regression using a quantile-specific prior
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022-01-19)Asymmetric Laplace (AL) specification has become one of the ideal statistical models for Bayesian quantile regression. In addition to fast convergence of Markov Chain Monte Carlo, AL specification guarantees posterior ... -
