Early inflorescence development in the grasses (Poaceae)
(Frontiers Media, 2013-07-23)The shoot apical meristem of grasses produces the primary branches of the inflorescence, controlling inflorescence architecture and hence seed production. Whereas leaves are produced in a distichous pattern, with the ... -
Echo behavior in ruby

Ecological and genetic analysis of copper and streptomycin resistance in Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae
(American Society for Microbiology, 1993-04)Strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae resistant to copper, streptomycin, or both compounds were recovered from symptomless and diseased tissue of four woody hosts in three nurseries in Oklahoma. In strains resistant ... -
Ecological stoichiometry beyond Redfield: An ionomic perspective on elemental homeostasis
(Frontiers Media, 2017-04-25)Elemental homeostasis has been largely characterized using three important elements that were part of the Redfield ratio (i.e., carbon: nitrogen: phosphorus). These efforts have revealed substantial diversity in homeostasis ... -
Economic impacts of banning subtherapeutic use of antibiotics in swine production
(Cambridge University Press, 2002-12)Public health officials and physicians are concerned about possible development of bacterial resistance and potential effects on human health that may be related to the use of antimicrobial agents in livestock feed. The ... -
Ecosystem services provided by playas in the High Plains: Potential influences of USDA conservation programs
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)Playas are shallow depressional wetlands and the dominant wetland type in the non-glaciated High Plains of the United States. This region is one of the most intensively cultivated regions in the Western Hemisphere, and ... -
Ectoparasites crawling on a host near you: a case series of ectoparasites in central Oklahoma
(2019-07-22)Ectoparasites on wild raptors and mammals pose a threat to the health of the animal, and possibly to the surrounding community should the ectoparasite be a vector for a zoonotic pathogen. Studies examining ectoparasites ... -
Effect of an organic pesticide on mortality and learning in Africanized honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) in Brasil
(Science Publications, 2006)Seven experiments were conducted. First, the influence of the consumption of different concentrations of the organic pesticide Bioganic® on mortality was assessed at 11 different time intervals in Africanized honey bees ... -
Effect of blood type on anti-a-Gal immunity and the incidence of infectious diseases
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-03-10)The identification of factors affecting the susceptibility to infectious diseases is essential toward reducing their burden on the human population. The ABO blood type correlates with susceptibility to malaria and other ... -
Effect of essential oil from citronella and alfazema on fennel aphids Hyadaphis foeniculi Passerini (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and its predator Cycloneda sanguinea L. (Coleoptera: Coccinelidae)
(Science Publications, 2006)The essential oil of plants is used as an alternative to pesticides for the control of aphids. We study the effect of the essential oils of citronella and alfazema on aphid populations in the laboratory and in the field. ... -
Effect of high-fat diet on the formation of pulmonary neutrophil extracellular traps during influenza pneumonia in BALB/c mice
(Frontiers Media, 2016-08-02)Obesity is an independent risk factor for severe outcome of influenza infection. Higher dietary fat consumption has been linked to greater morbidity and severe influenza in mouse models. However, the extent of generation ... -
Effect of repeated in vitro transfer of Pasteurella haemolytica A1 on encapsulation, leukotoxin production, and virulence
(American Society for Microbiology, 1987-01)Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 was transferred daily for 128 serial passages on both unsupplemented brain heart infusion agar and the same basal medium supplemented with bovine blood, horse serum, and yeast extract. ... -
Effect of risk aversion on feeder cattle prices
(Cambridge University Press, 1994-12)This paper determines the effects of cattle feeders' risk aversion on feeder cattle prices using pen data of Kansas feedlots. Higher profit risk results in lower feeder cattle prices. The elasticity of feeder cattle price ... -
Effect of spatial and temporal factors on occupants' blind use behaviors in multifamily residential buildings
(College Publishing, 2021)Existing studies show that occupants’ behavior contributes to fluctuations in energy consumption of residential units within the same building configuration. Window blinds are one of the interior design elements that the ... -
Effect of two commercial herbicides on life history traits of a human disease vector, Aedes aegypti, in the laboratory setting
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-03-10)Some mosquito species utilize the small niches of water that are abundant in farmland habitats. These niches are susceptible to effects from agricultural pesticides, many of which are applied aerially over large tracts of ... -
Effect of wet curing duration on long-term performance of concrete in tidal zone of marine environment
(SpringerOpen, 2015-12)A proper initial curing is a very simple and inexpensive alternative to improve concrete cover quality and accordingly extend the service life of reinforced concrete structures exposed to aggressive species. A current study ... -
Effect of wettability on vacuum-driven bubble nucleation
(MDPI AG, 2022-05-27)Nucleation is the formation of a new phase that has the ability to irreversibly and spontaneously grow into a large-sized nucleus within the body of a metastable parent phase. In this experimental work, the effect of ... -
Effectiveness of the Zerofly storage bag fabric against stored-product insects
(Elsevier BV, 2017)The ZeroFly Storage Bag is a woven polypropylene bag (PP) that has deltamethrin incorporated in its fibers, and represents a novel approach to reducing stored-product insect pest-related postharvest losses. Fabric samples ... -
Effects of biomass feedstocks and gasification conditions on the physiochemical properties of char
(MDPI, 2013-08-06)Char is a low-value byproduct of biomass gasification and pyrolysis with many potential applications, such as soil amendment and the synthesis of activated carbon and carbon-based catalysts. Considering these high-value ... -
Effects of capsule on surface diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of the subcapsular parenchyma of a solid organ
