Not all disappeared: Disease and southeastern Indian survival, 1500-1800.
(1998)Southeastern Indian survival depended on four factors. First, smallpox came relatively late to the Southeast, failing to become epidemic until the 1690s. Second, when epidemics struck with full force after the 1690s, Indians ... -
Not for men only: The (de)-construction of lesbian/queer public sexualities.
(2005)This research study is an exploration of women's sexuality in general and lesbian/queer women's sexuality in particular. There has been little done in terms of examining women's sexuality and sexual practices, especially ... -
Not My Mascot: Prejudice and Native American Mascots on Stereotype Activation and Attitudes Towards Native Americans
(2018)There is an ongoing controversy based on the possible negative outcomes of using Native American mascots as symbols for sport teams. The present research examines the effect of using Native American (NA) sports mascots on ... -
(Not so) Divine comedy: A content analysis of humorous political ads.
(2000)The current study is a content analysis of 379 humorous political advertisements from 1952 to 1996 in every election level from civic to presidential. Percentages, Chi Square analyses and one-sample t-tests are employed ... -
NOT UPGRADED TOURISM: A CASE STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF A SHORT-TERM STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE IN ISRAEL
(2018-05-11)International education has been evolving in the past decade, with short-term study abroad programs gradually growing to be the dominant type of program. With this growth comes the need to develop a concentrated and impactful ... -

Nothing routine: Television news management's response to COVID-19, organizational uncertainty, and changes in news work
(2021-05-14)COVID-19 has impacted television news routines and created organizational challenges that required re-organization of journalism work (Wood, 2020). This shift created considerable uncertainty for news creation. Some of the ... -
Novachip-Ultrathin Bonded Wearing Course Construction Report (FHWA-OK(06)
(2005-10)Open Graded Friction Course (OGFC) pavement sheds water and provides good skid resistance. A problem with OGFC surfaces is short life before raveling begins. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is testing ... -
Novel annexin A5 - nanoparticles conjugates for targeted cancer therapy
(2022-12-09)Cancer is considered the single most critical barrier to improving life expectancy in every country. More specifically, the high prevalence of breast cancer is a global health concern, but there are no safe or effective ... -
Novel aspects of benzoate and crotonate metabolism by the strictly anaerobic bacterium Syntrophus aciditrophicus strain SB.
(2007)Although enzyme activities and metabolites detected in S. aciditrophicus indicated that benzoate was degraded by the pathway found in Rhodopseudomonas palustris, proteomic data detected the gene products homologous to ... -
Novel biomarker application reveals the microbial ecological dynamics surrounding Oceanic Anoxic Event II (OAE-2)
(2021-05-14)Biomarkers are established facets of paleoenvironmental study, yet significant untapped potential remains. Conventional methods (e.g. GC-MS) fail to characterize large, polar molecules, which often possess greater biological ... -
Novel Biomarker Distributions in the Chesterian Limestone of the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
(2017-05)18α(H)-Oleanane is a biomarker that is proposed to be derived from β-amyrin, which is produced by angiosperm plants. As such, the presence of 18α(H)-oleanane is often used as an indicator that the petroleum source is of ... -
Novel catalytic materials for carbon dioxide reforming of methane under severely deactivating conditions.
(1999)Promotion of the ZrO2 support with cerium and lanthanum resulted in increased activity and stability of the catalyst. The improved performance of the promoted catalyst can be attributed stabilizing the surface area for ... -
Novel cobalt-mediated regio- and stereoselective radical cyclizations.
(1998)Initial efforts focused on the intermolecular additions of the radicals to electron deficient double bonds, but they were unsuccessful. Efforts then focused on intramolecular cyclizations of 1-[(alkynyl)Co2(CO) 6]-5-hexenyl ... -
Novel Computer-Aided Diagnosis Schemes for Radiological Image Analysis
(2022-05-13)The computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) scheme is a powerful tool in assisting clinicians (e.g., radiologists) to interpret medical images more accurately and efficiently. In developing high-performing CAD schemes, classic ... -
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 ... -
A Novel Framework for Optimizing Indoor Illuminance and Discovering Association of Involved Variables
