Yield potential estimation in grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) and effects of plant height, sensing angle and height on yield prediction of corn (Zea mays L.)
(2005-12)Scope and method of study: For chapter one, grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) experiments were conducted to estimate the yield potential of grain sorghum at different nitrogen levels using a self illuminated had ... -
Young adults and advance care planning
(2023-05)Advance care planning (ACP) is often thought to be for the old or seriously ill, but young adults often experience unexpected accidents, leaving them unable to communicate their wishes for medical care. As the medical ... -
Young adults with childhood-onset asthma: The spotlight effect, psychological adjustment, fear of negative evaluation, and self focused attention
(2014-07)The current study investigated the spotlight effect, self-focused attention, fear of negative evaluation and psychological distress among college students with and without a childhood diagnosis of asthma. It included an ... -
Zeolitic imidazole framework ZIF-8 membranes for enhanced propylene/propane separation
(2022-05)The separation of propylene/propane is essential in the refineries and most importantly, propylene is used as raw material to produce polymers and other intermediate chemicals. The separation of propylene/propane is ... -
Zero-tolerance discipline approaches: Perspectives from exemplary alternative schools
(2012-05)Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore alternative school administrator, teacher, and student perceptions of the factors that surround zero-tolerance discipline policies and practices, ... -
Zeros of Random Orthogonal Polynomials
(2019-05-01)Let $\{f_j\}$ be a sequence of orthonormal polynomials where the orthogonality relation is satisfied on either the real line (OPRL) or on the unit circle (OPUC). We study zero distribution of random linear combinations of the form -
Zeros of random trigonometric polynomials with dependent coefficients
(2021-05)It is well known that the expected number of real zeros of a random cosine polynomial (of degree $ n $)\begin{equation*} V_n(x) = \sum_ {j=0} ^{n} a_j \cos (j x) , \quad x \in (0,2\pi) , \end{equation*} where the coefficients ... -
Zoogeography of Ouachita Highland fishes
(2013-12)Knowledge about species distributions in space and time is a central goal of comparative phylogeography, and essential to understanding evolution, ultimately providing the mechanisms for the origin and maintenance of ... -
Zwitterionic microscale hydrogels for protein delivery, stabilization, and immobilization
(2021-05)Proteins are incredibly useful in medicine and industrial chemistry. Many of the most recent breakthroughs in cancer therapy are based on monoclonal antibody treatments. Yet, there are major difficulties that can act as ... -
β-funaltrexamine effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced behavior deficits and inflammation in mice
(2023-05)Inflammation plays a pivotal role in neurological and peripheral disorders. Specifically, inflammation is one of the common factors in diseases such as anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease ...
