Studies of Learned Helplessness in Honey Bees (Apis Mellifera Ligustica)
(2016-05-01)
The current study provides evidence of learned helplessness in the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.). Bees received either avoidable or unavoidable shock during a discriminative compartment restriction task in an automated ...
Consequences of the Encroachment of Juniperus Virginiana in a Tallgrass Prairie: Soil Physical and Biological Alterations
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)
The invasion of J. virginiana into grasslands has multi-scale effects including loss of biodiversity, loss of habitat for wildlife species, and alterations in community-level and biogeochemical functions. Most previous ...
Protective Mucosal Immunity Elicited by Intranasal Dna Vaccination Expressing the Ha1 of Equine-2 Influenza Virus
(Oklahoma State University, 2005-07-01)
A vaccination trial was performed in mice by intranasal inoculation of DNA vaccines pTOPOKY98#6 and pVAXKY98/11-9 encapsulating with liposome and metastim. DNA vaccines were designed to express HA1 protein from equine-2 ...

(Oklahoma State University, 2007-05-01)
The fungus Phoma medicaginis was transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation and a collection of T-DNA tagged transformants generated and characterized. The interactions of P. medicaginis with the ...
Investigation of Computational Problem Area Detection on Earthen Spillways Across Varying Image Resolutions
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)
This thesis work investigates the ability of segmentation algorithms to segment vegetal problem areas in aerial images of earthen spillways. Four different segmentation algorithms were applied to aerial images of spillways ...
Production of alcohols via syngas fermentation using Alkalibaculum bacchi monoculture and a mixed culture
(2013-12)
Gasification-syngas fermentation is a hybrid conversion technology. In this process, feedstocks such as biomass or municipal solid waste are gasified to syngas (CO, H2 and CO2), which is then converted into biofuels and ...
Polyolefin blend miscibility: Quantitative investigations of dynamic heterogeneity
(2012-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Using advanced solid-state NMR to study the microscopic interactions of amorphous polymer blends and the influences of each component to the dynamic heterogeneity of those miscible blends.
