Economic Value of Leptin Genotype Information in Beef Cattle
(Oklahoma State University, 2006-12-01)
Recent research developments in genetics have found variations to exist among mammals in the way they produce and react to leptin, a protein that works to control appetite and weight. These traits and others linked to ...

(Oklahoma State University, 2006-05-01)
This thesis is a first account of the diatoms of the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. There is also a chapter with preliminary work investigating the allometry of diatom assemblages of the ...
Jet Breakup and Pinch-Off in Liquid-Liquid Systems
(Oklahoma State University, 2006-07-01)
An experimental study of jet breakup in immiscible liquid-liquid systems has been performed. The present study focuses on capturing and quantifying the breakup and pinch-off of a liquid jet when injected into a second, ...
Contextual student differences and scoring patterns of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ)
(2006-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of the study was to first re-establish factorial validity for the MSLQ and assess its predictive strength for low, middle and high income students, and then evaluate if academically ...
Interpretation of the Upper Red Fork Valley in the Anadarko Basin: A Comparison Study Between Processed, Reprocessed, and High Frequency Seismic Data
(Oklahoma State University, 2006-07-01)
Seismic lines will be used to determine the amount of downcutting of the Red Fork interval within the Anadarko basin. High frequency seismic data, along with a 2D arbitrary line that runs through a 3D seismic shoot, will ...
Selection of an Aptamer Against Surface Exposed Targets on Yersinia Pestis
(Oklahoma State University, 2006-05-01)
Yersinia pestis is a CDC 'category A' bioterrorism agent. This study attempts to select an aptamer to detect the presence of LOS and F1 antigen on Y. pestis. Aptamer selection by Systematic Evolution of Ligand by Exponential ...

Method of Accelerating K-means by Directed Perturbation of the Codevectors
(Oklahoma State University, 2006-07-01)
K-Means clustering algorithm is a simple and yet very powerful technique of partitioning data sets. This paper presents a method of decreasing the total iterations needed to run K-Means. This is done by adding perturbations ...
