Extreme makeover: A blueprint for redefining the role of the liaison librarian in the academic library
(Oklahoma State University, 2017-02)What does it mean to be an engaged liaison in today's academic library? New trends in liaison roles have shifted the focus of many librarians from traditional activities to new areas, such as scholarly communication and ... -
Fabrication of hierarchical Lewis acid Sn-BEA with tunable hydrophobicity for cellulosic sugar isomerization
(Elsevier, 2019-04)Lewis acid Sn-BEA catalysts with tunable morphology and hydrophobicity were successfully synthesized by the recrystallization of post-synthetic Sn-BEA in the presence of ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and tetraethylammonium ... -
Faceless heroes: A content analysis of determinants for the recruitment, career development and retention of Emergency Medical Dispatchers in the United States of America
(Elsevier, 2021-05-26)Emergency Medical Dispatchers (EMDs) provide life-critical telephone-based medical advice 24 h a day, 365 days a year. EMDs are the first point of contact but rarely, if ever, meet the public whom they serve. They are ... -
Factors affecting adoption of cow-calf production practices in Oklahoma
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-12)Most technology adoption research has focused on crops. Primary data were used to determine differences in management practices among two groups of Oklahoma cow-calf producers based on herd size and cattle income dependence. ... -
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 ... -
Factors associated with growth in daily smoking among Indigenous adolescents
(Wiley, 2012-12-01)North American Indigenous adolescents smoke earlier, smoke more, and are more likely to become regular smokers as adults than youth from any other ethnic group, yet we know very little about their early smoking trajectories. ... -
Factors associated with Indigenous youths' abstinence from drinking
(Elsevier BV, 2017)The proportion of youth who abstain from alcohol use decreases during adolescence but little attention has focused on factors associated with abstinence. No research has examined this question for Indigenous youth, many ... -
Factors associated with nutritional status of infants and young children in Somali Region, Ethiopia: a cross- sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2015-09-02)Background: Inadequate nutrition during the first two years of life may lead to childhood morbidity and mortality, as well as inadequate brain development. Infants are at increased risk of malnutrition by six months, when ... -
Factors associated with the presence of coliforms in the feed and water of feedlot cattle
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-10)The objective of this study was to investigate coliform counts in feedlot cattle water and feed rations and their associations with management, climate, fecal material, and water Escherichia coli O157 using a cross-sectional ... -
Factors driving the abundance of Ixodes ricinus ticks and the prevalence of zoonotic I. ricinus-borne pathogens in natural foci
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-04-15)Environmental factors may drive tick ecology and therefore tick-borne pathogen (TBP) epidemiology, which determines the risk to animals and humans of becoming infected by TBPs. For this reason, the aim of this study was ... -
Fake news and elections in two Southeast Asian nations: A comparative study of Malaysia general election 2018 and Indonesia presidential election 2019
(Atlantis Press, 2019-11)The increased penetration of Internet connection in Malaysia and high mobile device affordances in Malaysia over the last two decades resulted in significant changes in the media ecosystem and information consumption ... -
Fall forage biomass and nitrogen composition of winter wheat populations selected from grain-only and dual-purpose environments
(Crop Science Society of America, 2005-01)Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the foundation of many agricultural enterprises in the southern Great Plains and is grown primarily as either a grain-only (GO) or a dual-purpose (DP, grazing plus grain) crop. ... -
Far infrared spectroscopy with subpicosecond electrical pulses on transmission lines
(AIP Publishing, 1987-08-17)Optically generated and detected electrical pulses on transmission lines in the subpicosecond range have frequencies extending up to 1 THz, thereby covering the far infrared region of the spectrum from 0 to 30 cm^-1. We ... -
Far-infrared time-domain spectroscopy with terahertz beams of dielectrics and semiconductors
(Optical Society of America, 1990-10)Using the method of time-domain spectroscopy, we measure the far-infrared absorption and dispersion from 0.2 to 2 THz of the crystalline dielectrics sapphire and quartz, fused silica, and the semiconductors silicon, gallium, ... -
Fast light solitons in resonant media
(American Physical Society, 2007-04-05)Using the structure of the Maxwell-Schrodinger equations in two-level systems in the transient domain, we derive both single-soliton and multisoliton (2n pi pulse) solutions associated with fast light in resonant media. ... -
Faster computation of g-functions used for modeling of ground heat exchangers with reduced memory consumption
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2021-09-01)Temperature response functions, known as g-functions, are a computationally efficient method for simulating ground heat exchangers (GHEs), used with ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems or direct ground cooling systems ... -
Feeder cattle price slides
(Western Agricultural Economics Association, 2001-07)A theoretical model is developed to explain the economics of determining price slides for feeder cattle. The contract is viewed as a dynamic game with continuous strategies where the buyer and seller are the players. The ... -
