Analysis of 67 RNA-seq datasets from various tissues at different stages of a model insect, Manduca sexta
(BioMed Central, 2017-10-17)
Background: Manduca sexta is a large lepidopteran insect widely used as a model to study biochemistry of insect physiological processes. As a part of its genome project, over 50 cDNA libraries have been analyzed to profile ...
Whole genome sequencing-based detection of antimicrobial resistance and virulence in non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica isolated from wildlife
(BioMed Central, 2017-11-21)
The aim of this study was to generate a reference set of Salmonella enterica genomes isolated from wildlife from the United States and to determine the antimicrobial resistance and virulence gene profile of the isolates ...
Pictorial key for identification of immature stages of common ixodid ticks found in pastures in Oklahoma
(Society of Southwestern Entomologists, 2017-03)
Many species of ixodid ticks in the United States are parasitic on cattle and pose a threat to veterinary and public health for those engaged in occupations in pasturelands. While encountered often, nymphs and larvae of ...
Evolutionary aspects of resurrection ecology: Progress, scope, and applications-an overview
(Wiley Open Access, 2017-11-22)
This perspective provides an overview to the Special Issue on Resurrection Ecology (RE). It summarizes the contributions to this Special Issue, and provides background information and future prospects for the use of RE in ...
Temperature response surfaces for mortality risk of tree species with future drought
(IOP Publishing, 2017-11-17)
Widespread, high levels of tree mortality, termed forest die-off, associated with drought and rising temperatures, are disrupting forests worldwide. Drought will likely become more frequent with climate change, but even ...
Developing an OER platform: Tips and lessons learned

Jammed spin liquid in the bond-disordered kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet
(2017-06-13)
We study a class of continuous spin models with bond disorder including the kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet. For weak disorder strength, we find discrete ground states whose number grows exponentially with system size. ...
Genome-wide expression profiling in leaves and roots of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) exposed to salinity
(BioMed Central, 2017-03-22)
Background: Date palm, as one of the most important fruit crops in North African and West Asian countries including Oman, is facing serious growth problems due to salinity, arising from persistent use of saline water for ...
Active surveillance to update county scale distribution of four tick species of medical and veterinary importance in Oklahoma
(Society for Vector Ecology, 2017-06)
The incidence of tick-borne disease continues to increase in humans and companion animals in the United States, yet distribution maps for several tick vectors in Oklahoma, including Dermacentor variabilis, Dermacentor ...
Bridge vs tower: Introducing architectural engineering to freshmen students
(2017-11-01)
In the first year design studio, one project involves the introduction of structural concepts which students utilize to design their project. Though this project has been assigned successfully for a number of years, the ...
