Development of nonlinear finite element codes for stability studies of web material with strain state dependent properties
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective of the proposed research is to develop user friendly finite element codes that will solve nonlinear instability problems associated with strain state dependent material properties ...
Optimizing Irrigated Horticulture and Prediction of Climate Change Impacts by Crop Modeling for Niger
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)
Frequent poor harvests in rainfed agriculture have resulted in recurring food shortages in Niger for decades. The predicted climate change during this century is expected to worsen the situation. Dry season irrigated ...
Quantification of Gas Hydrates in Fractured Marine Sediments, Krishna Godavari Basin, India
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-05-01)
An effective medium theory for modeling elastic velocities in unconsolidated sediments with hydrate-saturated, random fractures was developed. In this model, elastic velocities are not sensitive to the size or orientation ...
Automated EKG Annotation with Neural Networks
(2016-12-01)
We have developed two automated systems using 11,810 physician-annotated single lead EKG signals. A focused tap delay line multilayer neural network followed by a threshold detection module is used to develop the QRS ...
"Clean coal" is like saying "dry water"!: Corporate communication strategies, risk definition, and power in the controversy over Oklahoma's proposed Red Rock coal-fired plant
(2013-07)
Societies in late modernity are highly dependent upon electricity produced by technologies that use primary fuels implicated in ecological expropriations and degradations. Technological dependency and risk make electric ...
MicroRNA: Molecular Micromanagers of Iron Metabolism and Oxygen Sensing
(2016-12-01)
Iron deficiency (ID) is estimated to affect one-third of the world's population. As an essential micronutrient, iron is required for DNA synthesis, cellular proliferation, and oxygen transport. Iron is potentially toxic ...
Efficacy of Patterned Electrical Neuromuscular Facilitation as a Recovery Modality in Elite Level Baseball Pitchers
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of patterned neuromuscular electrical stimulation (PENS), a specific type of electrical stimulation, as a recovery modality for collegiate pitchers. ...
Comparison of Computed Tomography and Myelography to a Reference Standard of Computed Tomographic Myelography in the Evaluation of Dogs with Intervertebral Disc Disease
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-12-01)
To compare the accuracy of myelography and CT to a reference standard of CT myelography in chondrodystrophic dogs with intervertebral disc extrusions. Study Design: Prospective blinded comparative study. Animals: ...
Use of expressive writing to mediate the effects of PTSD symptomology on female domestic violence victims
(2013-07)
This study examined the effectiveness of expressive writing in increasing general mental health and specifically PTSD symptomology for women residing in a domestic violence shelter. Two experimental expressive writing ...
Fusion in lesbian relationships: The relationship between differentiation of self and gay stressors
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship between differentiation of self and gay stressors in a lesbian population. The sample of lesbian women, over the age of 25, and currently ...
