Applications of the atom-optical kicked rotor
(2013-05)
This thesis reports on the experimental investigation of several applications of the atom-optical quantum kicked rotor (AOQKR) using a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of 87Rb atoms. The AOQKR was achieved by exposing a BEC ...
Off-Axis Neutron Study From a Uniform Scanning Proton Beam Using Monte Carlo Code Fluka
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-05-01)
The production of secondary neutrons is an undesirable byproduct of proton therapy. It is important to quantify the contribution from secondary neutrons to patient dose received outside the treatment volume. The purpose ...

Paysonia is a small genus of annuals consisting of eight species; three are found in Texas and Oklahoma and the remaining five are in the Central Basin of Tennessee and northern Alabama. Species are morphologically distinct, ...
Effects of dynamic shear stress on endothelial cells, platelets and their interactions
(2013-05)
Coronary heart disease (CHD), characterized by degenerative changes in coronary circulation, is the leading cause of death in the US. Vascular wall endothelial cells (EC) and circulating blood platelets play a major role ...
Wounded worldviews : A terror management perspective on combat veterans
(2013-07)
Previous research has demonstrated that individuals that have experienced trauma respond atypically to reminders of mortality. The present research tested the hypothesis that United States military veterans would respond ...
Remote sensing application in biomass crop production systems in Oklahoma
(2013-12)
This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of nitrogen and cropping systems on biomass yield and quality and to describe the spatial variation of biomass yield, soil carbon and nitrogen within a switchgrass ...
Numerical Study of the Process Parameters in Spark Plasma Sintering (Sps)
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)
Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is one of the most widely used sintering techniques that utilizes pulsed direct current together with uniaxial pressure to consolidate a wide variety of materials. The unique mechanisms of SPS ...
Influence of Hormones and Nutrition on Communication Signal Development in Green Anoles (Anolis Carolinensis)
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-05-01)
Green anoles utilize highly stereotyped species specific displays for both intersexual and intrasexual communication. These displays have garnered much attention from researchers; however, to date no one has conclusively ...
Patterns of Aquatic Invasions in United States and Relationships with Key Geographic Variables
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-05-01)
Invasive species are a serious threat to biodiversity, and the increasing spread of invasive species due to human transport and environmental change is only escalating the issue. In aquatic systems, the effects of human-induced ...
Evaluation of the Mixing Capability of a Low-Cost, Sanitary, Food-Grade Mixer
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-05-01)
Sanitary, food-grade, commercial mixers can have a sizeable price tag. Many entrepreneurs and new businesses cannot afford to invest in commercial mixing equipment, so a low-cost version would be a great alternative. The ...
