Office of Research and Economic Development RESEARCH AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020 Major Sponsored Programs and Faculty Accomplishments in Research and Creative Activity University of Nebraska–Lincoln This booklet highlights successes in research, scholarship and creative activity by University of Nebraska–Lincoln faculty during the fiscal year running July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. It lists investigators, project titles and funding sources on major grants and sponsored awards received during the year; fellowships and other recognitions and honors bestowed on our faculty; books published by faculty; performances, exhibitions and other creative activity; and patents and licensing agreements issued. Based on your feedback, the Office of Research and Economic Development expanded this publication to include peer-reviewed journal articles and conference presentations and recognize students and faculty mentors participating in the Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experience Program (UCARE) and the First-Year Research Experiences program (FYRE). While metrics cannot convey the full story of our work, they are tangible measures of impact. Nebraska achieved a record $317 million in total research expenditures in FY 2019, a 26% increase over the past decade. Thanks to your efforts, our university is making progress toward its goal of approaching $450 million in research expenditures by 2025. Husker researchers are stimulating economic growth through university-sponsored industry activity. Nebraska Innovation Campus created 1,657 jobs statewide and had a total Bob Wilhelm economic impact of $324.1 million in FY 2019. NUtech Ventures brought in $6.6 million in Vice Chancellor for Research licensing income in FY 2020. The University of Nebraska system now ranks 65th among the and Economic Development top 100 academic institutions receiving U.S. patents, jumping 14 spots from 2019. I am proud of the Nebraska Research community for facing the challenges of 2020 with grit and determination. Our researchers quickly adapted to develop solutions for an evolving pandemic — all while working apart and keeping themselves and their families safe. As an institution, we made a commitment to embrace an anti-racism journey and work toward racial equity. Advancing conversations and developing lasting solutions is among the most important work we can do as scholars. Against the backdrop of the pandemic, rising racial and social tensions, and natural disasters, Nebraska researchers worked diligently to address other pressing issues, such as obesity and related diseases, nanomaterials, agricultural resilience and the state’s STEM workforce. Let’s continue looking forward to what we can accomplish together. Thank you for participating in the grand challenges process and helping identify the wicked problems that Nebraska has unique expertise to solve. Soon, ORED will unveil a Research Roadmap that outlines how our campus will develop research expertise; enrich creative activity; bolster commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion; enhance economic development; and much more. Amidst the uncertainty of 2020, I remain confident in our faculty’s talent and commitment. I am pleased to present this record of accomplishments.

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution

    The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution

    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

  • Alcohol Myopia and Choice

    Alcohol Myopia and Choice

    Alcohol myopia and choice ALEJANDRO TATSUO MORENO OKUNO1 EMIKO MASAKI2 n Abstract: The aim of this paper is to develop a model that explains how the consump- tion of some addictive substances affects individuals’ choices and especially how it af- fects individuals’ risk taking. We do this by assuming that some addictives substances, specifically alcohol, increase individuals’ discount of the future. As individuals that consume alcohol show greater preference for the present and less for the future, they would find choices with rewards in the present and costs in the future more attrac- tive. Therefore, an individual that wouldn’t have accepted an option may do so after consuming alcohol and he/she may regret his/her decision after the alcohol in his/her blood is eliminated. We analyze the effect of two taxes in the welfare of individuals that face an attractive but harmful choice: a tax on the consumption of alcohol and a tax (or penalty) if the future costs of the choice are realized. n Resumen: El objetivo de este artículo es desarrollar un modelo que explique cómo el consumo de ciertas substancias adictivas afecta las elecciones de algunos indi- viduos y en especial cómo afecta su elección bajo incertidumbre. Asumimos que algunas substancias adictivas, específicamente el alcohol, incrementan el descuen- to futuro de los individuos. Si los individuos muestran mayor preferencia por el presente y menos por el futuro, al consumir alcohol encontrarían más atractivas las opciones con recompensas en el presente y costos en el futuro. Por lo tanto, un individuo que no hubiera aceptado una opción quizás lo haga después de consumir alcohol y se arrepentiría de su decisión después de que el alcohol sea eliminado de su sangre.

Most health professionals agree that alcohol affects practically every organ in the human body. Alcohol consumption was linked to more than 60 disease conditions in a series of recent meta-analyses (English et al., 1995; Gutjahr, Gmel & Rehm, 2001; Ridolfo & Stevenson, 2001; Single et al., 1999). The present chapter mainly draws on the work of Gutjahr and Gmel (2001) and Rehm et al. (in press). The link between alcohol consumption and consequences depends a) on the two main dimensions of alcohol consumption: average volume of consumption and patterns of drinking; and b) on the mediating mechanisms: biochemical effects, intoxication, and dependence (see Figure 4 for the main paths). Figure 4: Model of alcohol consumption, mediating variables, and short-term and long- term consequences Patterns of drinking Average volume Intoxication Toxic and benefical biochemical Dependence effects * Chronic Accidents/Injuries Acute social Chronic (acute disease) consequences disease social * Independent of intoxication or dependence Source: Rehm et al. (2003c) Direct biochemical effects of alcohol may influence chronic disease either in a beneficial (e.g., protection against blood clot formation of moderate consumption (Zakhari, 1997), which is protective for coronary heart disease) or harmful way (e.g., toxic effects on acinar cells triggering pancreatic damage (Apte, Wilson & Korsten, 1997).

Broadcast television stations and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) must negotiate in good faith for consent to retransmit commercial television broadcast signals.1 The Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC or Commission) rules identify an objective list of negotiation standards, violation of any of which constitutes a per se breach of the duty to negotiate in good faith.2 The Media Bureau of the FCC has entered into a Consent Decree to resolve its consideration of enforcement with respect to violations of the Commission’s retransmission consent rules by Howard Stirk Holdings, LLC (HSH).3 To settle this matter, HSH admits that it violated the good faith negotiation requirements, will pay a $100,000 civil penalty, and will implement a compliance plan to help ensure future compliance with the Commission’s rules. 2. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the referenced consideration of enforcement regarding HSH’s violation of section 76.65 of the Commission’s rules.4 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to the authority delegated by sections 0.61 and 0.283 of the Commission’s rules,5 the attached Consent Decree IS ADOPTED and its terms incorporated by reference.
