Use of real-time cadence to prescribe aerobic physical activity intensity and its comparison with existing methods
(Informa UK Limited, 2021-11-07)The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of physical activity intensity prescription using real-time cadence on achieving the required intensities for health benefits. Forty adults (18-65�years) ... -
Using a historic drought and high-heat event to validate thermal exposure predictions for ground-dwelling birds
(Wiley Open Access, 2017-07-08)Deviations from typical environmental conditions can provide insight into how organisms may respond to future weather extremes predicted by climate modeling. During an episodic and multimonth heat wave event (i.e., ambient ... -
Using both sociological and economic incentives to reduce moral hazard
(Western Agricultural Economics Association, 2003-08)Economists tend to focus on monetary incentives. In the model developed here, both sociological and economic incentives are used to diminish the apparent moral hazard problem existing in commodity grading. Training that ... -
Using diffusion of innovations theory to modify library OER interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic
(IGI Global, 2021)The high cost of commercial textbooks has been well documented. To help alleviate the impact of those costs, the Oklahoma State University (OSU) Library identified exploration and support of open educational resources (OER) ... -
Using human-centered design to develop an innovative teen pregnancy prevention program: Lessons learned from a case study
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2022) -
Using regional climate projections to guide grassland community restoration in the face of climate change
(Frontiers Media, 2017-05-09)Grassland loss has been extensive worldwide, endangering the associated biodiversity and human well-being that are both dependent on these ecosystems. Ecologists have developed approaches to restore grassland communities ... -
Utilizing anaerobic fungi for two-stage sugar extraction and biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass
(Frontiers Media, 2017-04-11)Lignocellulosic biomass is a vast and underutilized resource for the production of sugars and biofuels. However, the structural complexity of lignocellulosic biomass and the need for multiple pretreatment and enzymatic ... -
Vaccination with recombinant Boophilus annulatus Bm86 ortholog protein, Ba86, protects cattle against B. annulatus and B. microplus infestations
(BioMed Central, 2009-03-31)Background: The cattle ticks, Boophilus spp., affect cattle production in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Tick vaccines constitute a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to tick control. ... -
Vaccinomics approach to the identification of candidate protective antigens for the control of tick vector infestations and Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection
(Frontiers Media, 2017-08-09)Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an emerging tick-borne pathogen causing human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), tick-borne fever (TBF) in small ruminants, and other forms of anaplasmosis in different domestic and wild animals. ... -
Vacuum-induced Stark shifts for quantum logic using a collective system in a high-quality dispersive cavity
(American Physical Society, 2005-05-13)A collective system of atoms in a high-quality cavity can be described by a nonlinear interaction which arises due to the Lamb shift of the energy levels due to the cavity vacuum [Agarwal et al., Phys. Rev. A 56, 2249 ... -
Validation of wearable activity monitors for real-time cadence
(Informa UK Limited, 2019-12-09)The purpose of this study is to establish evidence of validity for wearable activity monitors providing real-time cadence against a criterion measure. Thirty-six healthy adults, aged 18-65 years, participated in the study. ... -
Value of increasing kernel uniformity
(Western Agricultural Economics Association, 2002-12)Kernel uniformity is an important quality attribute that can now be measured at low cost. This study analyzes the profitability of sorting to increase wheat kernel uniformity. Nonlinear programming is used to sort grain ... -
Variation in black bass angler characteristics by stream size and accessibility in Oklahoma's Ozark Highland streams
(Wiley, 2021-01)Fishing in streams and rivers is a popular outdoor recreation activity in eastern Oklahoma, where most anglers target black bass (Micropterus) species. Since the early 1990s, when the last assessment of black bass fishing ... -
Variation in tick load among bird body parts: Implications for studying the role of birds in the ecology and epidemiology of tick-borne diseases
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020)Wild birds play important roles in the maintenance and dispersal of tick populations and tick-borne pathogens, yet in field studies of tick-borne disease ecology and epidemiology there is limited standardization of how ... -
Variation in tortoise life history: Demography of Gopherus berlandieri
(Ecological Society of America, 2000-05-01)Turtles provide excellent models for studies of life history strategies, but terrestrial species are underrepresented in these analyses. We present a life table and demographic parameters of an inland population of Gopherus ... -
Vector-borne diseases of small companion animals in Namibia: Literature review, knowledge gaps and opportunity for a One Health approach
(AOSIS, 2015-11-06)Namibia has a rich history in veterinary health but little is known about the vector-borne diseases that affect companion dogs and cats. The aim of this review is to summarise the existing published and available unpublished ... -
Velocity distributions of sputtered excited atoms
(American Physical Society, 1982-02-08)The first direct measurements are reported of the velocity distributions of sputtered atoms in excited states with electronic configurations completely different from the ground state. In contrast to previous work, the ... -
Verified computations for hyperbolic 3-manifolds
(2013-10-12)For a given cusped 3-manifold M admitting an ideal triangulation, we describe a method to rigorously prove that either M or a filling of M admits a complete hyperbolic structure via verified computer calculations. Central ... -
