Excess foundry sand characterization and experimental investigation in controlled low-strength material and hot-mixing asphalt
(Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), 2004-10)This report provides technical data regarding the reuse of excess foundry sand. The report addresses three topics: a statistically sound evaluation of the characterization of foundry sand, a laboratory investigation to ... -
Exflagellation responses of cultured Plasmodium falciparum (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae) gametocytes to human sera and midguts of anopheline mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1994)The process of exflagellation was quantified for cultured Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes exposed to human sera and midgut homogenates from six vector species of Anopheles mosquitoes. Neither serum factors related to ... -
Exogenously scavenged and endogenously synthesized heme are differentially utilized by Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022-10-26)Heme is both an essential cofactor and an abundant source of nutritional iron for the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While heme is required for M. tuberculosis survival and virulence, it is also potentially ... -
Exotic superconductivity through bosons in a dynamical cluster approximation
(2015-08-07)We study the instabilities towards (exotic) superconductivity of mixtures of spin-1/2 fermions coupled to scalar bosons on a two-dimensional square lattice with the Dynamical-Cluster-Approximation (DCA) using a numerically ... -
Expanding access to tribal treaties in the United States from 1778-1886
(2023-03-09)The Oklahoma State University Libraries joined with federal partners to create the Tribal Treaties Database (TTD), based on the seven-volume Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties, edited by Charles J. Kappler. In its second ... -
Expected number of real zeros for random orthogonal polynomials
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2015-07-05)We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials. It is well known that Kac polynomials, spanned by monomials with i.i.d. Gaussian coefficients, have only (2/π + o(1))logn ... -
Experiencing the difference between a virtual and in-person fit session
(Iowa State University, 2020-12-28)This research explored the concept of using avatars as fit models. Participants who had 2D/3D computer-aided design skills developed two basic garments and virtually draped the garments on two avatars, one was the program’s ... -
Experimental analysis of reintroduction strategies to conserve the vulnerable plains topminnow Fundulus sciadicus in Nebraska
(Inter Research, 2017-11-23)Plains topminnow Fundulus sciadicus are endemic to the Great Plains (USA), and because of declines in their geographic range and local abundance, are granted protection throughout their native range. Experimental reintroductions ... -
Experimental time-domain study of THz signals from impulse excitation of a horizontal surface dipole
(AIP Publishing, 1999-03-22)Using optoelectronic techniques with sub-ps resolution, we have characterized the electric-field time-domain response from an impulsively excited, micron-sized dipole antenna on a dielectric surface. When detected by an ... -
Experimental tree removal in tallgrass prairie: Variable responses of flora and fauna along a woody cover gradient
(Ecological Society of America, 2012)Woody plant encroachment is a worldwide phenomenon in grassland and savanna systems whose consequence is often the development of an alternate woodland state. Theoretically, an alternate state may be associated with changes ... -
Exploitation and destabilization of a warm, freshwater ecosystem through engineered hydrological change
(Ecological Society of America, 2008)Exploitation of freshwater resources is having catastrophic effects on the ecological dynamics, stability, and quality of those water resources on a global scale, especially in arid and semiarid regions. Lake Kinneret, ... -
Exploring factors associated with Chinese-Americans’ willingness to receive an additional hypothetical annual dose of the COVID-19 vaccine
(MDPI AG, 2023-01-15)Chinese-Americans are one of the largest groups of Asian-Americans in the US with distinctive behavioral and cultural characteristics that influence health service use. Although Chinese-Americans have significantly higher ... -
Exploring the presence of marginalized populations in OER texts dealing with matters of EDI
(2023)The purpose of this research is to build on the growing body of literature that seeks to identify how often OER material used in higher education references historically marginalized groups in matters pertaining to EDI ... -
Exposure and risk factors to Coxiella burnetii, spotted fever group and typhus group rickettsiae, and Bartonella henselae among volunteer blood donors in Namibia
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-09-26)Background: The role of pathogen-mediated febrile illness in sub-Saharan Africa is receiving more attention, especially in Southern Africa where four countries (including Namibia) are actively working to eliminate malaria. ... -
Exposure to citral, cinnamon and ruda disrupts the life cycle of a vector of Chagas disease
(Science Publications, 2007)The main vector of Chagas disease in Venezuela was exposed to the odors of citral, cinnamon and ruda. Cinnamon was found to stop the life cycle of Rhodnius prolixus relative to untreated animals. Citral and ruda also ... -
Expression of recombinant Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, R. annulatus and R. decoloratus Bm86 orthologs as secreted proteins in Pichia pastoris
