Ultrasensitive terahertz sensing with high-Q Fano resonances in metasurfaces
(AIP Publishing, 2014-10-27)
High quality factor resonances are extremely promising for designing ultra-sensitive refractive index label-free sensors, since it allows intense interaction between electromagnetic waves and the analyte material. Metamaterial ...
Tick vaccines and the control of tick-borne pathogens
(Frontiers Media, 2013-07-09)
Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit a wide variety of pathogens to humans and animals. The incidence of tick-borne diseases has increased worldwide in both humans and domestic animals over the past ...
Empowering language: A key tool in counseling
(Oklahoma State University, 2010)
Spatiotemporal representation of cardiac vectorcardiogram (VCG) signals
(BioMed Central, 2012-03-30)
Background: Vectorcardiogram (VCG) signals monitor both spatial and temporal cardiac electrical activities along three orthogonal planes of the body. However, the absence of spatiotemporal resolution in conventional VCG ...
Factors affecting adoption of recommended management practices in stocker cattle production
(Cambridge University Press, 2010-02)
Binary logit regression models were used to estimate factors affecting adoption of recommended management practices. Variables analyzed include aspects of farm structure, human capital, farm objectives, and production ...
Child ability and household human capital investment decisions in Burkina Faso
(University of Chicago Press, 2012)
Using data we collected in Burkina Faso, we explore how child ability influences parents' decisions to invest in their children's human capital. We use a direct measure of child ability for all primary school-aged children, ...
Rising Great Plains fire campaign: Citizens' response to woody plant encroachment
(Ecological Society of America, 2013)
Despite years of accumulating scientific evidence that fire is critical for maintaining the structure and function of grassland ecosystems in the US Great Plains, fire has not been restored as a fundamental grassland process ...
Detection and assessment of chemical hormesis on the radial growth in vitro of oomycetes and fungal plant pathogens
(SAGE Publications, 2012-09-29)
Although plant diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses, and protists, most are caused by fungi and fungus-like oomycetes. Intensive use of fungicides with the same mode of action can lead to selection of resistant ...
Freehand diffuse optical spectroscopy imaging for intraoperative identification of major venous and arterial vessels underlying peritoneal fat: An in vivo demonstration in a pig model
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2017-10-30)
Inadvertent injury to important anatomic structures is a significant risk in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) that potentially requires conversion to an open procedure, which results in increased morbidity and mortality. ...
Roots of reciprocity: Gratitude and reputation in generalized exchange systems
(SAGE Publications, 2017-12-21)
Social scientists often study the flow of material and social support as generalized exchange systems. These systems are associated with an array of benefits to groups and communities, but their existence is problematic, ...
