Immune signaling pathways and digestion-related proteins in the Manduca sexta larvae
(2022-07)
M. sexta has been used as a biochemistry model to study insect immunity. While it is unclear how immune genes are specifically regulated by Toll or Imd pathway. We produced the recombinant Spätzle-1 and -2 precursors, ...
Reliability and sensitivity analysis of civil and marine structures using machine-learning-assisted simulation
(2022-12)
Civil and marine structures are subjected to various deterioration mechanisms due to aggressive environmental effects or mechanical loads. In order to maintain an acceptable performance level of these structures, previous ...
Perspectives of African American school-based agricultural education teachers toward their meaning of work: A Q methodology study
(2022-07)
The most prominent group of leaders in the African American community historically have been educators, including public school teachers of agriculture. The importance of African American educators became apparent when the ...
Grassland heterogeneity and pyric herbivory: Implications for ungulate movement, biodiversity conservation, and rangeland productivity in the Anthropocene
(2022-05)
How to simultaneously manage grasslands for sustained livestock productivity and biodiversity conservation is a persistent dilemma for rangeland ecologists and conservationists. Moreover, climate change and invasive species ...
Sugarcane aphid movement model for Oklahoma, weather and geographic effects on sugarcane aphid migration in Oklahoma
(2022-07)
The first paper discusses developing a predictive model of SCA intrusion trajectories for Oklahoma sorghum producers. The SCA survival rates and migration distribution are generated using the temperature, precipitation, ...
Evaluating the effect of secondary school seating arrangements on on-task behaviors: An analysis of student behavior and teacher movement
(2022-05)
A small-n, reversal design study was conducted to assess student behavior and teacher movement through classroom management practices targeting seating arrangements. Three middle school classrooms were identified in this ...
Human capital formation, fertility, and labor force participation in Sub-Saharan Africa
(2022-07)
My dissertation comprises three chapters. The first chapter examines the effect of childhood immunization. After being in power in Burkina Faso for about a year, a military regime led by Thomas Sankara-within weeks, ...
Experimental and numerical analyses on the behavior of civil and marine steel structures
(2022-12)
Bolts and welds in combination occur most commonly during the construction phase of a building when the design load changes, when there are unforeseen difficulties in make-up or matching of bolt holes, or in retrofit of ...
geophysical characterizations of glacial aquifers and earth-fill dams
(2022-05)
Geophysical investigations of groundwater aquifers and earth-fill dams have gained vast attention during the past few decades. Exploring new groundwater aquifers is always essential to meet the growing need for water ...
Exploring undergraduate students' multiplicative concept stages, optimization problem solutions, and mathematics identity
(2022-07)
Undergraduate students’ choices and success in their career and life is influenced by their mathematics achievement and perception of themselves in life. Conceptual understanding of topics in undergraduate mathematics such ...
