Propagation, Hybridization and Genetic Manipulation of Oenothera Species
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-07-01)
Oenothera L. (Onagraceae) is a perennial herb native to North and South America. Three species were treated with 0.6% solutions of ethyl methanesulfonate and five toxic heavy metals at two concentrations to induce phenotypic ...
Evaluation of Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (Aflp) Analysis as a Method for Tracking Salmonella Enterica in a Foodborne Outbreak
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)
Foodborne disease causes illness and death in people around the world and costs nations millions of dollars and many lives. Currently in US, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is used to monitor and track foodborne ...
Thermal performance of mechanical pipe insulation systems at below-ambient temperature
(2013-12)
Mechanical pipe insulation systems are commonly applied to cold piping surfaces in most industrial and commercial buildings in order to limit the heat losses and prevent water vapor condensation on the pipe exterior surfaces. ...
Testing and Selecting Drought Resistant Common Bermudagrass Genotypes
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) is a perennial warm-season turfgrass that is widely used in the central and southern part of the United States. The drought performance of 67 experimental selections made from the ...
Belowground meristem density of warm-season grasses as regulators of grassland invisibility
(2013-05)
Recent studies suggest that perennial grasslands susceptibility to invasions (i.e. invasibility) by exotic plants may be related to the population of native grass belowground meristems (the "bud bank") in these plant ...
Use of next Generation Sequencing to Detect Plant Pathogenic Prokaryotes
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)
Increasing importation of commodities from countries abroad increases the risk of introduction of exotic plant pathogens. Although individual pathogen assays are available, current screening methods have limited ability ...
Cloth Napkin Singulation System
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)
Food service establishments serve food to many customers daily reusing a small inventory of silverware pieces. These silverware pieces are washed after each use and sets of pieces (e.g., a spoon, a soup spoon, a fork, and ...
Statistical Analysis and Sensor Based Modeling of Electrochemical Mechanical Polishing (Ecmp) of Cu Blanket Wafer for Semiconductor Applications
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-07-01)
Copper electrochemical mechanical polishing (Cu ECMP) has attracted many scientists in the field of semiconductor manufacturing industry, as they are investigating whether to replace chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) ...
Modeling, analysis and control of print registration in roll-to-roll printing presses
(2013-05)
Print registration in roll-to-roll (R2R) printing process is investigated in this dissertation. Print registration is the process of aligning multiple images that are printed in consecutive print units. The quality of the ...
Modified Polyethylenimine Used to Enhance Adenovirus-Based Gene Delivery
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-07-01)
An improved adenoviral-based gene delivery vector was developed by conjugating adenovirus (Ad) with a biocompatible, grafted copolymer of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyethylenimine (PEI) (PEG-g-PEI). Although an Ad-based ...
