Engineering metal parallel plate waveguides as a 2-D plane for high resolution THz time domain spectroscopy
(2011-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The research summarized in this dissertation is on the investigation of the application of metal parallel plate waveguides (PPWG) for performing high resolution spectroscopic measurements of ...
Ability of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to recover from early season nitrogen stress, and maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield response to distance nitrogen is placed away from the row
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study: For chapter one, a field experiment was conducted to evaluate cotton's ability to recover from earlier season N stress. The treatments included 4 rates of preplant (0, 33, 67 and 101 kg N ha-1) ...

(Oklahoma State University, 2011-05-01)
Two hundred sixty eight strip loins were collected from heifers fed at Oklahoma State Univesity in Stillwater, OK. In phase I, 127 heifers were assigned to one of three treatment groups. Antimicrobial administrations (AA) ...
Chloroplast Phylogeny of Agavaceae Subfamily Chlorogaloideae with a Focus on Species Relationships in Hastingsia
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-05-01)
Serpentine soils contain toxic concentrations of metals, giving rise to plant populations with specialized adaptations, but also with high levels of endemism and extreme rarity. Among the serpentine endemic and tolerant ...
Development, Implementation and Validation of a Non-dimensional Pump Model in Energyplus
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)
In HVAC plant simulation software, a pump model is required to carry out pressure based simulation, which will govern flow rate in system and predict accurate power consumption. To implement a pump model in EnergyPlus, ...
