Mosquito-borne parasites in the Great Plains: Searching for vectors of nematodes and avian malaria parasites
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, parasite/pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. While most focus has ... -
Mucoid conversion by phages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from patients with cystic fibrosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 1984-05)A total of 21 of 22 independent isolates of cystic fibrosis-associated Pseudomonas aeruginosa were found to be lysogenic for DNA-containing, complex capsid viruses. Several of the phages demonstrated the ability to select ... -
Multi-trait genomic selection methods for crop improvement
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-05-29)Plant breeders make selection decisions based on multiple traits, such as yield, plant height, flowering time, and disease resistance. A commonly used approach in multi-trait genomic selection is index selection, which ... -
Multilayer formation in an azacrown [18]N6 Langmuir film
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 1998)A neutron reflectivity study of a deuterated azacrown [18]N6 at the air-water interface shows that it forms multilayers upon compression, with monolayers and trilayers being more stable than bilayers. -
Myceliophthora thermophila M77 utilizes hydrolytic and oxidative mechanisms to deconstruct biomass
(SpringerOpen, 2016-11-02)Biomass is abundant, renewable and useful for biofuel production as well as chemical priming for plastics and composites. Deconstruction of biomass by enzymes is perceived as recalcitrant while an inclusive breakdown ... -
Mycobacteria, metals, and the macrophage
(Wiley, 2015-03)Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a facultative intracellular pathogen that thrives inside host macrophages. A key trait of M. tuberculosis is to exploit and manipulate metal cation trafficking inside infected macrophages to ... -
Mysterious mycorrhizae? A field trip and classroom experiment to demystify the symbioses formed between plants and fungi
(University of California Press, 2009-09) -
Name standardization: Defining procedures and practices for Oklahoma State University's Digital Resources and Discovery Services' team
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-08-17) -
Nature of conduction in doped silicon
(American Physical Society, 1997-02-10)Via ultrafast optoelectronic THz techniques, we are able to test alternative theories of conduction by precisely measuring the complex conductivity of doped silicon from low frequencies to frequencies higher than the plasma ... -
Nature reserves as catalysts for landscape change
(Ecological Society of America, 2012-02-14)Scientists have called repeatedly for a broader conservation agenda that emphasizes not only protected areas but also the landscapes in which those areas are embedded. We describe key advances in the science and practice ... -
Negative regulation of seed germination by maternal AFB1 and AFB5 in Arabidopsis
(2023-09-12)The plant hormone auxin suppresses seed germination, but how auxin does it remains poorly understood. While studying the functions of the AUXIN SIGNALING F-BOX (AFB) auxin co-receptors in Arabidopsis, we consistently ... -
Negative Subtraction Hybridization: An efficient method to isolate large numbers of condition-specific cDNAs
(BioMed Central, 2004-03-29)Background: The construction of cDNA libraries is a useful tool to understand gene expression in organisms under different conditions, but random sequencing of unbiased cDNA collections is laborious and can give rise to ... -
Neglected tropical diseases of Namibia: Unsolved mysteries
(Elsevier BV, 2012-09-21)Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are diseases most commonly found in settings of poverty and are responsible for the morbidity and/or mortality of millions each year. As an upper-middle income country, Namibia is not ... -
Network approaches to substance use and HIV/hepatitis C risk among homeless youth and adult women in the United States: A review
(Scientific Research Publishing, Inc., 2016-08-26)During the United States economic recession of 2008-2011, the number of homeless and unstably housed people in the United States increased considerably. Homeless adult women and unaccompanied homeless youth make up the ... -
New design of a lentiviral shRNA vector with inducible co-expression of ARGONAUTE 2 for enhancing gene silencing efficiency
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-08)Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a robust tool for inhibiting specific gene expression, but it is limited by the uncertain efficiency of siRNA or shRNA constructs. It has been shown that the overexpression of ARGONAUTE ... -
New Mycobacterium avium antifolate shows synergistic effect when used in combination with dihydropteroate synthase inhibitors
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-11)Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is resistant to trimethoprim, an inhibitor of bacterial dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). A previously identified selective inhibitor of MAC DHFR, SRI-8858, was shown to have synergistic ... -
New near-analytical path to the threshold size of spherical random lasing via geometric-distribution-probability weighting of the diffusive photon fluence rate
(ArXiv, 2022-08-15)We demonstrate a new near-analytical path to the threshold-size of random-lasing for the case of a uniform and isotropic-scattering sphere. We assess a geometric-distribution-probability (GDP) weighted integration of the ... -
New records of Aedes aegypti in southern Oklahoma, 2016
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 2017-03)Aedes aegypti is an important subtropical vector species and is predicted to have a limited year-round distribution in the southern United States. Collection of the species has not been officially verified in Oklahoma since ... -
New strategy in observer modeling for greenhouse cucumber seedling growth
(Frontiers Media, 2017-08-08)State observer is an essential component in computerized control loops for greenhouse-crop systems. However, the current accomplishments of observer modeling for greenhouse-crop systems mainly focus on mass/energy balance, ... -
