Adaptive Tolerance to Zinc in Freshwater Snails (Physa acuta) Across a Contamination Gradient
(2019-07)The Tri-State-Mining district is an area of northeast Oklahoma, southwest Missouri, and southeast Kansas in which zinc and lead mines operated for over 100 years. Metal contamination from wastes left behind by these historic ... -
Community Composition, Population Demographics, and Tissue Metal Concentrations in Bats (Chiroptera) at Tar Creek Superfund Site: with Focus on Use of a Behavioral Flight Cage Assay
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)My goals were to: 1) determine community structure and population demographics of Chiroptera within Tar Creek Superfund Site, an area contaminated with lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and cadmium (Cd), 2) analyze liver, kidney, and ... -
Evaluation of new techniques for zinc and cortisol assessment with a placebo-controlled zinc supplementation trial in a subsample of Ethiopian women
(2011-07)Scope and Method of Study: -
Influence of Supplemental Vitamin E and Zinc on the Response of Mouse Macrophages to Lipopolysaccharide
(Oklahoma State University, 2005-07-01)This study, conducted to determine the synergistic effect vitamin E and zinc supplementation has on the mouse macrophage's release of inflammatory mediators in response to an immune challenge, used the RAW 264.7 mouse ... -
Mycobacteria, metals, and the macrophage
(Wiley, 2015-03)Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a facultative intracellular pathogen that thrives inside host macrophages. A key trait of M. tuberculosis is to exploit and manipulate metal cation trafficking inside infected macrophages to ... -

Optical Response of Doped Zinc Oxide Films
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-12-01)Re-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on c-plane and r-plane sapphire substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The effects of doping ZnO with Re were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, ... -
Reproductive life history decisions and success of freshwater pond snails (Physa acuta) during chronic zinc exposure
(2019-12)Life history theory examines how individuals should make trade-offs between current reproductive effort and survival to achieve future reproductive gains. A prediction is that as future life expectancy decreases, individuals ... -
Synthesis of ZnO nanocrystals by subsequent implantation of Zn and O species
(AIP Publishing, 2005-04-29)We report the preparation of ZnO nanocrystals embedded in a SiO2 matrix formed using sequential zinc and oxygen ion implantations. The optical absorption spectra and photoemission spectra of zinc implanted and zinc/oxygen ... -
