Effects of dynamic shear stress on endothelial cells, platelets and their interactions
(2013-05)
Coronary heart disease (CHD), characterized by degenerative changes in coronary circulation, is the leading cause of death in the US. Vascular wall endothelial cells (EC) and circulating blood platelets play a major role ...
Wounded worldviews : A terror management perspective on combat veterans
(2013-07)
Previous research has demonstrated that individuals that have experienced trauma respond atypically to reminders of mortality. The present research tested the hypothesis that United States military veterans would respond ...
Remote sensing application in biomass crop production systems in Oklahoma
(2013-12)
This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of nitrogen and cropping systems on biomass yield and quality and to describe the spatial variation of biomass yield, soil carbon and nitrogen within a switchgrass ...
Non polar and affinity monolithic stationary phases for HPLC of large and small molecules and their use in a multi column liquid phase separation platform for the capturing and fractionation of sialoglycoproteins from human serum
(2013-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The major objective of this investigation was to develop novel nonpolar and affinity monolithic stationary phases for HPLC of small and large molecules, and the evaluation of their potentials in ...
Process evaluation for wheat germ oil degumming
(2013-05)
The objectives of this study are to optimize a degumming process that will efficiently remove phospholipids from crude wheat germ oil (CWGO) with minimal oil loss and to examine the effect of degumming processes on oil ...
Effects of nutrient sources, harvest frequency, and environmental conditions on switchgrass production and soil properties
(2013-12)
Switchgrass is considered a promising low-input biofuel feedstock. Previous development primarily focused on aboveground production, however, feedstock success will depend on identifying sustainable management practices ...
Handling the curse of dimensionality in multivariate kernel density estimation
(2013-07)
Kernel density estimation (KDE) is the most widely-used practical method for accurate nonparametric density estimation. Many works had been done on both the univariate and multivariate cases showing the efficacy, practicality ...
Thermal performance of mechanical pipe insulation systems at below-ambient temperature
(2013-12)
Mechanical pipe insulation systems are commonly applied to cold piping surfaces in most industrial and commercial buildings in order to limit the heat losses and prevent water vapor condensation on the pipe exterior surfaces. ...
Belowground meristem density of warm-season grasses as regulators of grassland invisibility
(2013-05)
Recent studies suggest that perennial grasslands susceptibility to invasions (i.e. invasibility) by exotic plants may be related to the population of native grass belowground meristems (the "bud bank") in these plant ...
Modeling, analysis and control of print registration in roll-to-roll printing presses
(2013-05)
Print registration in roll-to-roll (R2R) printing process is investigated in this dissertation. Print registration is the process of aligning multiple images that are printed in consecutive print units. The quality of the ...
