Effect of Growing Beef Replacement Heifers on Wheat Pasture Before and During Breeding on Reproductive Peformance
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-07-01)
Unsatisfactory breeding performance has been reported when replacement heifers have been exposed to bulls or AI while grazing small grains. The objective of this study was to compare reproductive performance of heifers ...
Cultures of corruption: British libertinism and its colonial manifestations
(2009-05)
Scope and Method of Study: My dissertation treats Britain's colonization of India and examines how it produced a particularly subversive western influence among upper-class Bengali men, illustrating in particular the many ...
Non-Destructive Quality Analysis of In-shell Pecans Using Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)
The application of non-destructive pecan quality assessment would allow reliable quality checks of pecan batches. This research analyzed pecan samples using electromagnetic waves in the radio/microwave range from 100 MHz ...
Study of Soi Annular Mosfet
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-07-01)
Annular transistors are enclosed geometry transistors which reduce device leakage by eliminating diffusion edges. Due to the asymmetry of these devices with respect to inner and outer terminals; this study evaluates the ...
Taxonomic and Ethnobotanical Investigations of the Vascular Flora of Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)
Between 2006 and the present, three taxonomic investigations of the flora of Oklahoma were conducted. Results of these studies are summarized in the following paragraphs: In a two-year floristic inventory of the Eagle Pass, ...
Formation of Fibers and Spheres by Electrospinning of Polyethylene Oxide Solution
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)
An experimental process for obtaining fibers and spheres using electrospinning of a polymer (Polyethylene Oxide) solution in water were studied. The objectives of the study were to complete measurements of size of the ...
Spatial and temporal scaling of species composition at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, Oklahoma: Implications for theory and conservation
(2009-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective of this study was to advance our understanding of the drivers of species turnover using scaling relationships and patterns of species composition. To accomplish this objective I ...
Synthesis and structures of germanium(II) calixarenes and clusters
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-07-01)
The purpose of this work was to examine the structures of novel germanium containing compounds. This was accomplished by characterizing the products of the reaction between the germanium(II) amide, Ge[N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 , ...
Occurrence and Distribution of Fecal Indicator Bacteria with Respect to Urban and Rural Land Uses
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)
