High Gain Airborne Microphone Windscreen Characterization Method Using Modified Research Wind Tunnel
(2017-05-01)
In recent years, UAS (unmanned aerial systems) have gained improved functionality by integrating advanced cameras, sensors, and hardware systems; however, UAS still lack effective means to detect and record audio signals. ...
Playing chicken: At the intersection of anthropogenic development and lesser prairie-chickens
(2017-12)
Ecology and natural history have long documented the spatial arrangement of organisms over time. Our definition of space and time, or scale, will determine what ecological relationships we are able to detect between organisms ...
Ecology of Grassland Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) with Emphasis on the Genus Balclutha
(2017-05-01)
Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) inhabit a broad range of ecological niches, including grassland ecosystems. These insects feed on vascular tissues and many species are economically important vectors of plant pathogens. ...
Green Weight, Taper & Volume Equations for Loblolly Pine in Oklahoma, USA
(2017-07-01)
Data from 158 loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees located in industrial plantations in the Ouachita Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma, USA were collected and used to develop taper, merchantable volume and merchantable ...
Eating Your Feelings: Sex Differences in Stress-Induced Eating
(2017-08-01)
Stress-induced consumption of highly palatable food could be one potential pathway from stress to obesity. Despite a sex-independent correlation between BMI and subjective stress (Block, He, Zaslavsky, Ding, & Ayanian, ...

(2017-08-01)
In 2004, the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act was passed by Congress requiring all school districts participating in National School Lunch programs to develop school wellness policies. This act was further ...
Sparse data-driven modeling framework for non-linear fluid flows
(2017-12)
Although fluid flows have been successfully modeled using the Navier-stokes equations, there exists only a limited class of flows for which exact analytical or numerical solutions are feasible at this time. For many practical ...
Development of a Miniature Smart Home Testbed for Research and Education.
(2017-07-01)
We present a cloud based smart home testbed using a miniature doll house. In particular, we use this testbed to demonstrate the energy conservation system with the interconnected network of devices, the robust security ...
Evaluating tissue culture platforms for use in drug development: A multi-method validational approach
(2017-12)
There has been significant interest in the development of synthetic tissue constructs for drug screening. Multiple approaches to developing tissue cultures that mimic in vivo conditions have been investigated, including ...
Factors influencing bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi L.) feeding behavior and fitness
(2017-12)
The first objective of this dissertation was to determine if increasingly complex host plant habitats resulted in the most fit Rhopalosiphum padi. I hypothesized that the addition of suitable host plant species to R. padi ...
