Modeling prices for sawtimber stumpage in the South-Central United States
(MDPI, 2016-07-20)The South-Central United States, which includes the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas, represents an important segment of the softwood sawtimber market. By using the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) ... -
Moderators of the association between exposure to violence in community, family, and dating contexts and substance use disorder risk among North American Indigenous adolescents
(SAGE Publications, 2021-05)Exposure to violence and substance abuse are salient public health concerns among Indigenous people (i.e., American Indian and Canadian First Nations). Despite this, little research has examined the association between the ... -
Modernizing Boro: Upcycling apparel with a past
(Iowa State University, 2020-06-30)The current fashion industry promotes quick changeovers of garments with fast deliveries at low prices creating an over abundance of clothing which is considered disposable by many consumers. In response to this fast fashion ... -
Modulating the fundamental inductive-capacitive resonance in asymmetric double-split ring terahertz metamaterials
(AIP Publishing, 2011-03-24)We investigate resonant transmission of planar asymmetric metamaterials made from double split-ring resonators. As the symmetry of the unit cell resonator is broken by displacing the two gaps away from the center in opposite ... -
Modulation of redox homeostasis under suboptimal conditions by Arabidopsis nudix hydrolase 7
(BioMed Central, 2010-08-12)Background: Nudix hydrolases play a key role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by hydrolyzing various nuceloside diphosphate derivatives and capped mRNAs. Several independent studies have demonstrated that Arabidopsis ... -
Molecular characterization of slow leaf-rusting resistance in wheat
(Crop Science Society of America, 2005-02-23)Slow leaf-rusting resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L) is gaining acceptance as a breeding objective because of its durability in comparison with race-specific resistance. CI 13227 was previously reported to provide ... -
Molecular detection of Campylobacter spp. and fecal indicator bacteria during the northern migration of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) at the central Platte River
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-06)The risk to human health of the annual sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) migration through Nebraska, which is thought to be a major source of fecal pollution of the central Platte River, is unknown. To better understand ... -
Molecular identification of Rickettsia typhi and R. felis in co-infected Ctenocephalides felis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1998)Rickettsia typhi and R. felis, 2 closely related rickettsial species, often have been identified in cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouche) from the same geographical location. However, no fleas have been found to be ... -
Moment inequalities for equilibrium measures in the plane
(2007-02-15)The equilibrium measure of a compact plane set gives the steady state distribution of charges on the conductor. We show that certain moments of this equilibrium measure, when taken about the electrostatic centroid and ... -
Monoclonal antibodies to Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 lipopolysaccharide: Demonstration of antigenic similarities among several serotypes
(American Society for Microbiology, 1988-05)Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced which were specific for Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The MAbs also reacted with LPS present in a partially purified antigen derived from a ... -
Morphological and ecological divergence of Lilium and Nomocharis within the Hengduan Mountains and Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau may result from habitat specialization and hybridization
(BioMed Central, 2015-07-29)Background: Several previous studies have shown that some morphologically distinctive, small genera of vascular plants that are endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and adjacent Hengduan Mountains appear to have unexpected ... -
Morphology and foraging behavior of Oklahoma's grass-feeding termite: Gnathamitermes tubiformans (Isoptera: Termitidae)
(Kansas Entomological Society, 2016)Grass-feeding termites, Gnathamitermes sp., can be considered beneficial in pastureland, where they aerate topsoil, recycle nutrients from grasses and forbs, and excavate and redistribute soil. The primary objective of ... -
Mosquito community and West Nile virus risk on a National Guard training base in Oklahoma
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 2020-06)Military bases are important areas for mosquito surveillance to maintain active duty combat readiness and protect training exercises. The aim of this study was to assist Camp Gruber National Guard training facility personnel ... -
Mosquito ingestion of antibodies against mosquito midgut microbiota improves conversion of ookinetes to oocysts for Plasmodium falciparum, but not P. yoelii
(Elsevier BV, 2011-07-13)The mosquito midgut is a site of complex interactions between the mosquito, the malaria parasite and the resident bacterial flora. In laboratory experiments, we observed significant enhancement of Plasmodium falciparum ... -
Mosquito-borne parasites in the Great Plains: Searching for vectors of nematodes and avian malaria parasites
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, parasite/pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. While most focus has ... -
Mucoid conversion by phages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from patients with cystic fibrosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 1984-05)A total of 21 of 22 independent isolates of cystic fibrosis-associated Pseudomonas aeruginosa were found to be lysogenic for DNA-containing, complex capsid viruses. Several of the phages demonstrated the ability to select ...
