Novel environmental and explosives detection applications for molybdenum oxides
(2009-07)Scope and Method of Study: -
Novel fabrication of SiC based ceramics for nuclear applications
(2009-05)Advances in nuclear reactor technology and the use of gas-cooled fast reactors require the development of new materials that can operate at the higher temperatures expected in these systems. These materials include refractory ... -
Novel Finite Element Method to Predict Blast Wave Transmission Through Human Ear
(2016-08)As military weapons systems continue to become more powerful, the noise levels they generate become more dangerous to the soldiers deploying them. This has increased the need for advanced methods of evaluating the risks ... -
Novel flexible mechanical actuator serving as an artificial muscle
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)Most linear actuators (screw, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc.) consist of a stationary housing and a moveable (piston) extension component. In order to keep the piston constrained laterally, and due to other mechanical limitations, ... -
A Novel Framework for Optimizing Indoor Illuminance and Discovering Association of Involved Variables
(2022-06-22)The associations between various design variables affecting the visual performance of responsive facade systems are investigated in this study. First, we propose a data-driven approach to study practical aspects of illuminance ... -
Novel genomes and genome constitutions identified by GISH and 5S rDNA and knotted1 genomic sequences in the genus Setaria
(BioMed Central, 2013-04-11)Background: The Setaria genus is increasingly of interest to researchers, as its two species, S. viridis and S. italica, are being developed as models for understanding C4 photosynthesis and plant functional genomics. The ... -
Novel high-rank phylogenetic lineages within a sulfur spring (Zodletone Spring, Oklahoma), revealed using a combined pyrosequencing-Sanger approach
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-04-15)The utilization of high-throughput sequencing technologies in 16S rRNA gene-based diversity surveys has indicated that within most ecosystems, a significant fraction of the community could not be assigned to known microbial ... -
Novel Inducers of Fetal Globin Identified through High Throughput Screening (HTS) Are Active In Vivo in Anemic Baboons and Transgenic Mice
(PLos One, 2015-12-29)High-level fetal (γ) globin expression ameliorates clinical severity of the beta (β) hemoglobinopathies, and safe, orally-bioavailable γ-globin inducing agents would benefit many patients. We adapted a LCR-γ-globin ... -
Novel insights into the historical biogeography of the streak-breasted scimitar babbler complex (Aves: Timaliidae: Pomatorhinus ruficollis complex)
(Oxford University Press, 2015)The Streak-breasted Scimitar Babblers of the Pomatorhinus ruficollis species complex are found in most of the forested habitats across southern and eastern Asia. The diversification history of this group is obscured by ... -
Novel into Film: the Loneliness of the Long-distance Runner
(Oklahoma State University, 1979-05-01)Criticism of Tony Richardson's film adaptation of Alan Sillitoe's novella The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner is limited to a series of reviews and one in-depth but "misguided" article by Peter Harcourt. My thesis ... -
Novel magnetic extractants for removal of pollutants from water
(2006-12)Scope and Method of Study: This research aims at developing magnetic extractants that can be utilized in conjunction with magnetic filtration devices to efficiently and economically remove a number of pollutants from aqueous ... -
Novel materials chemistry for structural, photovoltaic, and environmental applications
(2018-05)Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) causes the untimely degradation of concrete structures such as bridges, dams, and roadways. This reaction occurs due to the alkalis present in the cement and the reactive forms of silica found ... -
Novel Mechanisms Underlying Diabetes-Induced Atrial Fibrillation
(2016-07-01)Diabetes results from a defect in insulin production (type-1) or action (type-2) causing dysfunctional glucose uptake. Diabetic patients are predisposed to cardiac complications such as atrial fibrillation (AF). The heart ... -
