Effectiveness of mothers' disciplinary reasoning in response to toddler noncompliance
(2014-12)
The current study examined the effectiveness of disciplinary reasoning in deescalating the intensity of noncompliance in discipline episodes with toddlers. Using Bell's control model, the effectiveness of reasoning was ...
Effects of Foliar Applied Nitrogen on Hard Red Winter Wheat Prior to Feekes 8
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-12-01)
Recent drought and market instability has led farmers to reduce pre-plant and mid-season nitrogen (N) applications. The objective of this project was to determine the effects of a foliar N prior to Feekes 8 (F7) in hard ...
Using Video for Consumer Attitude Inoculation about Beef Animal Slaughter: a Quasi-experimental Study
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)
Consumers are demanding transparency of agricultural practices. Americans lack agricultural literacy and they need accurate information sources they can trust. Therefore, an effective communication method is needed to make ...
Study of Network Paradoxes
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-12-01)
Social networks are characterized by their user-oriented nature, and interactive, community-driven and emotion based content. There are some known paradoxes about social network of which `friendship paradox' is the most ...
Nanoscale carbon fiber-matrix interphase characterization with atomic force microscopy indentation
(2014-05)
At the region between fiber and matrix in a composite there is a region called interphase region, which basically has different properties than bulk matrix and fiber. This region is responsible for the loads transfer from ...
Antimicrobial Efficacy of Essential Oils and Their Primary Constituents Against Escherichia Coli O157:H7 on Organic Leafy Greens
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of plant-based essential oils and their primary constituents against Escherichia coli O157:H7 during the washing and short-term storage of organic leafy greens. ...
Systolic freedom of 3-manifolds
(2014-05)
In this thesis, we study the Z2-coefficient homology (1, 2)-systolic freedom of 3-manifolds. In 1994, Bearard-Bergery and Katz proved the Z-coefficient homology (1, 2)-systolic freedom of S2 x S1. More generally, compact ...
Evaluating Water Use Rates and Root Growth Characteristics of Turf Bermudagrass Cultivars under Non-limiting Soil Moisture Conditions in Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-12-01)
Evapotranspiration (ET) rates of ten bermudagrasses (Cynodon spp.) were evaluated in the field using weighing mini-lysimeters with calcined clay as the rooting media. Similarly, root growth characteristics were evaluated ...
Potential for Aflatoxicosis in Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) Exposed to Contaminated Grain at Feeding Stations
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)
There is concern about the potential impacts that supplemental feeding may have on wildlife populations. Possible negative effects of wildlife feeding include altered fecundity, recruitment, survival, predation, pathogen ...
Determination of Moisture Diffusion Coefficient at Low Suctions Using Thermal Conductivity Sensors
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-12-01)
The main aim of this research is to determine the drying and wetting moisture coefficients in unsaturated soils at low suctions using thermal conductivity sensors. The performance of a geotechnical structure can be strongly ...
