Prevalence of Babesia spp., Ehrlichia spp., and tick infestations in Oklahoma black bears (Ursus americanus)
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2017-10)
American black bears (Ursus americanus) are commonly infested with ticks throughout their range, but there are few surveys for tick-borne disease agents in bears. To characterize tick infestations and determine the prevalence ...
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 ...
Radial flows and angular momentum conservation in galactic chemical evolution
(2012-07-31)
We study the effects of radial flows on Galactic chemical evolution. A simple analytic scheme is developed prescribing the coupling of infall from the intergalactic medium and radial flows within the disc based on angular ...
Differences in mosquito communities in six cities in Oklahoma
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-04-05)
Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. Current information on vector ...
Use of a rabbit soft tissue chamber model to investigate Campylobacter jejuni-host interactions
(Frontiers Media, 2010-11-16)
Despite the prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni as an important food borne pathogen, the microbial factors governing its infection process are poorly characterized. In this study, we developed a novel rabbit soft tissue ...
On the complexity of cusped non-hyperbolicity
(2019-07-02)
We show that the problem of showing that a cusped 3-manifold M is not hyperbolic is in NP, assuming S3-RECOGNITION is in coNP. To this end, we show that IRREDUCIBLE TOROIDAL RECOGNITION lies in NP. Along the way we ...
Coxiella burnetii Nine Mile II proteins modulate gene expression of monocytic host cells during infection
(BioMed Central, 2010-09-20)
Background: Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes acute and chronic disease in humans. Bacterial replication occurs within enlarged parasitophorous vacuoles (PV) of eukaryotic cells, the ...
Open Access: Identifying quality journals and avoiding predatory publishers
(Oklahoma State University, 2018-10-22)
Biomedically-focused research productivity by Namibian authors and institutions 1995-2010
(2011-06)
Publications are the result of individual scientists or 'webs' of collaborators who present their scientific observations and share them with the scientific community. A study of authors and institutions who have published ...
Race, politics, and public safety: A panel study of U.S. highway patrol and state police strength, 1981-2015
(Hipatia Press, 2018-03-30)
This study assesses the social, political, economic, and traffic-/travel-related predictors of sworn highway patrol and state police strength in the United States between 1981 and 2015. Fixed-effects estimates based on ...
