Researchers studied the impact of comorbidity on two critical health-care-quality indicators and found that secondary conditions and diseases significantly affect hospital length of stay and total charges for HIV patients.
New research at the University of Arkansas shows that behavior can be predicted and understood in thin films made of materials called relaxors, which can be used in electronic devices.
In her new book, University of Arkansas researcher Sabrina Billings looks at Tanzanian beauty pageants, where women use verbal and non-verbal communication to struggle for mobility, access to education and a place in the global world.
In On Repeat: How Music Plays the Mind, Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis of the University of Arkansas explores the psychology of repetition in music, across time, style and cultures.
A new class of materials developed at the University of Arkansas may influence the next generation of nano-devices, in which integrated circuits are composed of many layers of dissimilar materials.
Health-care supply chain researchers conducted a major study of three hospitals and found that adoption of advanced inventory management systems can significantly reduce costs associated with medical and surgical items used in operating rooms.
Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a novel dynamic testing system for characterizing and evaluating the structural condition of short- to medium-span bridges – structures up to 300 feet long.
The 15th annual Arkansas Poll, conducted during the federal shutdown, found residents of the state dramatically more pessimistic about the future while continuing the trend toward identifying as Republican-leaning Independents.
Three-dimensional computer models of the interaction between tornadoes and hills shows that wind velocities are significantly reduced on the leeward side of hills. The finding applied to hills whose height was equal to or greater than the radius of the tornado vortex.
The University of Arkansas is one of 10 institutions selected by NASA to develop technology that will address technical needs and enable future missions of America’s space program.
A $32 million grant to be administered over the next five years by the University of Arkansas will take the first step in helping teenagers with disabilities enter the workforce.
