Rising Great Plains fire campaign: Citizens' response to woody plant encroachment
(Ecological Society of America, 2013)Despite years of accumulating scientific evidence that fire is critical for maintaining the structure and function of grassland ecosystems in the US Great Plains, fire has not been restored as a fundamental grassland process ... -
Risk assessment of flavivirus transmission in Namibia
(Elsevier BV, 2014-05-25)The role of arboviruses causing acute febrile illness in sub-Saharan Africa is receiving more attention. Reports of dengue in tourists were published nearly 10 years ago in Namibia, but the current epidemiology of arboviruses ... -
Risk of encountering questing ticks (Ixodidae) and the prevalence of tickborne pathogens in Oklahoma state parks
(Society of Southwestern Entomologists, 2018-06)State parks, used by many for various kinds of recreation, are also places where people and their companion animals are exposed to ticks and tickborne pathogens. While most studies in state parks in the United States have ... -
Risk of encountering ticks and tick-borne pathogens in a rapidly growing metropolitan area in the U.S. Great Plains
(Elsevier BV, 2016-10-14)The prevalence of tick-borne diseases has increased dramatically in many urban areas of the U.S., yet little is known about the ecology of ticks and tick-borne pathogens in relation to characteristics of North American ... -
Role for zinc transporter gene SLC39A12 in the nervous system and beyond
(Elsevier, 2021-10-05)The SLC39A12 gene encodes the zinc transporter protein ZIP12, which is expressed across many tissues and is highly abundant in the vertebrate nervous system. As a zinc transporter, ZIP12 functions to transport zinc across ... -
Role of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESX-4 secretion system in heme iron utilization and pore formation by PPE proteins
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-02-07)Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is transmitted through aerosols and primarily colonizes within the lung. The World Health Organization estimates that Mtb kills ~1.4 million people every year. A key aspect that makes Mtb ... -
Role of wireless broadband connectivity on 'Big Data' and the agricultural industry in the United States and Australia
(International Food and Agribusiness Management Association, 2016)Big Data has the potential to change the fabric of agriculture as we know it today; but only with wireless connectivity sufficient to employ telematics and other precision agricultural technologies. The primary focus of ... -
Rooting out racism in library systems - authority, description, and metadata
(University of Oklahoma, 2021-04-23)This panel will present on the basics of library and archive cataloging and metadata creation, and demonstrate how these processes and the institutions who employ them have historically embedded and perpetuated systems of ... -
Roots of reciprocity: Gratitude and reputation in generalized exchange systems
(SAGE Publications, 2017-12-21)Social scientists often study the flow of material and social support as generalized exchange systems. These systems are associated with an array of benefits to groups and communities, but their existence is problematic, ... -
Rumen microbial population dynamics during adaptation to a high-grain diet
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-11)High-grain adaptation programs are widely used with feedlot cattle to balance enhanced growth performance against the risk of acidosis. This adaptation to a high-grain diet from a high-forage diet is known to change the ... -
Sampling probes affect bulk density and soil organic carbon measurements
(American Society of AgronomyCrop Science Society of AmericaSoil Science Society of America, 2020)Soil sampling equipment can be a major source of bias in soil organic carbon (SOC) stock estimations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of sampling probes on soil bulk density (BD) and SOC stocks ... -
Scattering theory for Floquet-Bloch states
(2014-10-20)Motivated by recent experimental implementations of artificial gauge fields for gases of cold atoms, we study the scattering properties of particles that are subjected to time-periodic Hamiltonians. Making use of Floquet ... -
Schottky-based band lineups for refractory semiconductors
(AIP Publishing, 1995-04-10)An overview is presented of band alignments for small-lattice parameter, refractory semiconductors. The band alignments are estimated empirically through the use of available Schottky barrier height data, and are compared ... -
Search for the standard model Higgs boson in the ZH → vvbb channel in 9.5 fb⁻¹ of pp[over ¯] collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV
(2012-08-21)We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson in 9.5 fb⁻¹ of pp[over ¯] collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The final state considered contains a pair of ... -
Seasonal variability of evapotranspiration and carbon exchanges over a biomass sorghum field in the Southern U.S. Great Plains
(Elsevier BV, 2017)The eddy covariance method was used to investigate carbon fluxes and evapotranspiration (ET) from a high biomass forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) field in the Southern U.S. Great Plains for three growing seasons ... -
Second language interference during first language processing by Arabic-English bilinguals
(Frontiers Media, 2017-11-07)The research investigated whether a bilinguals' second language (L2) is activated during a task involving only the first language (L1). We tested the hypothesis that the amount of L2 interference can vary across settings, ... -
Self calibration iso-pathlength point in cylindrical tissue geometry: Solution of steady-state photon diffusion based on the extrapolated zero-boundary
(Optica Publishing Group, 2018-12-21)Near-infrared optical techniques permit tissue diagnosis by surface measurement. However, the geometrical shape of this interface profiles the intensity of the surface measurement, which is found to have an iso-pathlength ... -
Self-defocusing of light by adiabatic following in rubidium vapor
(American Physical Society, 1972-10)The narrow-line output of a dye laser on the low-frequency side of the 2P1/2 resonance line (7948 A) of rubidium was self-defocused by passage through dilute rubidium vapor. The defocusing was caused by the electronic ... -
Self-focusing of light by potassium vapor
(American Physical Society, 1970-04-20)Raman-shifted ruby-laser light on the high-frequency side of the 2P3/2 resonance line (7665 A) of potassium was self-focused by a dilute potassium gas. -
Self-induced adiabatic rapid passage
