Paper Dolls Ride Shotgun
<p>Each of the four characters represent four approaches to the dynamic between the academy and the inner city because the novel lies at the intersections of four critical frameworks. First, the post and post-postmodern literary theory of Calinescu, McHale, and Huber, who do excellent work in …

Shotgun metagenomic analysis of antimicrobial resistance in wastewater
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens our modern standard of living with the potential return to a pre-antibiotic condition where deadly infections are no longer treatable. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are vital components in water sanitation infrastructure and are now also being …

Old House, New Future: The Quiet Revival of the Shotgun House
Shotgun houses (“shotguns”) are the most widely acknowledged expressions of African-American architectural design in the United States. They are New World constructions, rooted in indigenous African architectural and spatial traditions and influenced by American Indian and European building …

De Novo Assembly of Genomes in Microbiomes: From Amplicons to Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequencing
In recent decades, the rapid progress of DNA sequencing technologies has greatly propelled metagenomics research. However, a critical bottleneck in current bioinformatics investigations is the assembly of metagenome at the strain-level resolution. This is indispensable for gaining profound insights …

Shotgun metagenomic approach to the influence of industrialization and social behavior on fecal microbiomes
The microbiome is a complex, rapidly evolving field of study dedicated to understanding the multitudes of micro-organisms that we live with, and that engage in reciprocal interactions with our own biology for both ill and good. These collections of microbes are susceptible to numerous influences …

Molecular characterization of microbial communities in small-scale biodigesters using whole genome shotgun metagenomic approach
… in rural areas. This study employs whole-genome shotgun metagenomics integrating data from metagenomic reads, contigs, and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) can achieve a more comprehensive understanding of microbial taxonomy and functional capabilities in biodigesters. This study investigates …

Killing Flies With a Shotgun: How the Internet Set a New Journalistic Standard and Style
Today, both the way a story is told and how long the viewer's attention can be held are often as important as the story itself. This study shows how online media sets new standards for narrative and continues some print traditions. This study focuses on the dialogue between print and online media. …
