Influence of religious affiliation and education on HIV knowledge and HIV-related sexual behaviors among unmarried youth in rural central Mozambique
(Informa UK Limited, 2010-10)The interactions between religious affiliation, education, HIV knowledge, and HIV-related sexual behaviors among African church youth are poorly understood. In this socio-demographic study, 522 unmarried youth 12-28 years ... -
Influence of storage at freezing and subsequent refrigeration temperatures on B-galactosidase activity of Lactobacillus acidophilus
(American Society for Microbiology, 1988-04)The ability of three strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus to survive and retain β-galactosidase activity during storage in liquid nitrogen at −196°C and during subsequent storage in milk at 5°C was tested. The level of ... -
Influence of the drilling mud formulation process on the bacterial communities in thermogenic natural gas wells of the Barnett Shale
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-07)The Barnett Shale in north central Texas contains natural gas generated by high temperatures (120 to 150°C) during the Mississippian Period (300 to 350 million years ago). In spite of the thermogenic origin of this gas, ... -
Influence of tree spacing on soil nitrogen mineralization and availability in hybrid poplar plantations
(MDPI, 2015-03-04)Nitrogen (N) availability and mineralization are key parameters and transformation processes that impact plant growth and forest productivity. We hypothesized that suitable plantation spacing can lead to enhanced soil N ... -
Influenza A virus-host protein interactions control viral pathogenesis
(MDPI, 2017-08-01)The influenza A virus (IAV), a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family, is a highly transmissible respiratory pathogen and represents a continued threat to global health with considerable economic and social impact. IAV is ... -
Ingestion of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites during transmission by anopheline mosquitoes
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1992)We investigated the process of sporozoite transmission during blood feeding for Anopheles gambiae and An. stephensi experimentally infected with Plasmodium falciparum. When infective mosquitoes were fed 22-25 days postinfection ... -
Inhibition of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by the broad-spectrum dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor RAB1
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-09)The bacterial burden on human health is quickly outweighing available therapeutics. Our long-term goal is the development of antimicrobials with the potential for broad-spectrum activity. We previously reported phthalazine-based ... -
inlA premature stop codons are common among Listeria monocytogenes isolates from foods and yield virulence-attenuated strains that confer protection against fully virulent strains
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-11)Previous studies showed that a considerable proportion of Listeria monocytogenes isolates obtained from foods carry a premature stop codon (PMSC) mutation in inlA that leads to production of a truncated and secreted InlA. ... -
Inquiry-based exercise for demonstrating prey preference in snakes

Inseparability inequalities for higher order moments for bipartite systems
(IOP Publishing, 2005-10-07)There are several examples of bipartite entangled states of continuous variables for which the existing criteria for entanglement using the inequalities involving the second-order moments are insufficient. We derive new ... -
Integral points on Markoff type cubic surfaces

Integrated Farm Financial Statements (IFFS): A farm business planning tool
(Cambridge University Press, 2005-08)Integrated Farm Financial Statements (IFFS) software was developed as an M.S. thesis project in the mid-1980s and was immediately put to use as a tool for business planning in one-on-one work with Oklahoma producers through ... -
Integrated waveguide-coupled terahertz microcavity resonators
(AIP Publishing, 2007-11-09)We demonstrate integrated square terahertz microcavity resonators side coupled to waveguides. We present the microcavity transmission spectra for different resonator sizes and coupling strengths. The measured quality factors ... -
Intentionally disruptive: Developing and delivering a critical information literacy course
(Oklahoma State University, 2017-11-10)This presentation was presented at the OK-ACRL 2017 Annual Conference on Friday, 11/10/17. It details the course that was developed by the Undergraduate Instruction and Outreach team of the Edmon Low Library at Oklahoma ... -
Interaction of the tick immune system with transmitted pathogens
(Frontiers Media, 2013-07-16)Ticks are hematophagous arachnids transmitting a wide variety of pathogens including viruses, bacteria, and protozoans to their vertebrate hosts. The tick vector competence has to be intimately linked to the ability of ... -
Interactive effects of grazing and burning on wind- and water-driven sediment fluxes: Rangeland management implications
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)Rangelands are globally extensive, provide fundamental ecosystem services, and are tightly coupled human-ecological systems. Rangeland sustainability depends largely on the implementation and utilization of various grazing ... -
Interferences in parametric interactions driven by quantized fields
(American Physical Society, 2006-07-11)We report interferences in the quantum fluctuations of the output of a parametric amplifier when the cavity is driven by a quantized field at the signal frequency. The interferences depend on the phase fluctuations of the ... -
Interlamellar organization of phase separated domains in multi-component lipid multilayers: Energetic considerations
(MDPI, 2013-02-08)A recent experimental study [1] has demonstrated the alignment of phase separated domains across hundreds of bilayer units in multicomponent stacked lipid bilayers. The origin of this alignment is the interlamellar coupling ... -
Intrinsic current-voltage properties of nanowires with four-probe scanning tunneling microscopy: A conductance transition of ZnO nanowire
(AIP Publishing, 2006-07-24)We report intrinsic current-voltage properties of ZnO nanowire measured by a four-tip scanning tunneling microscopy (F-STM). It is found that after bending the nanowire with the F-STM the conductance is reduced by about ...
