Comparison study of 1999-2019 suicide rate per 100,000 population between Native American and other races in the United States of America
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)The suicide rate in the USA has been on the rise, which affects specific age groups, genders, and race/ethnicity. Native American (NA) has been known to be on a higher level than the other races. This study focuses on ... -
Computer modeling of aerosol diffusion through lung mucosa
(Oklahoma State University, 2020-04-24)Diseases of the lung are some of the most common and deadly in the world, accounting for 4 of the top 10 global causes of death according to the World Health Organization. Existing treatments, if any exist, tend to be ... -
Computer modeling of aerosol particle transport through lung mucosa
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)Diseases of the lung are some of the most common and deadly in the world, accounting for 4 of the top 10 global causes of death according to the World Health Organization. Due to the poor bioavailability of drugs traditionally ... -
Construction of a central database for compressor applications
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)Compressors are vital components of everyday life. Although often overlooked by the general public, compressors are used in a wide range of heating and air-conditioning applications, and they account for approximately five ... -
Construction of a reusable Gel-Eluted Liquid Fraction Entrapment Electrophoresis (GELFrEE) using 3D printing
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Gel-Eluted Liquid Fraction Entrapment (GELFrEE) is commonly utilized in proteomics research for size-based separation and fractionation of proteins. Commercial GELFrEE cartridges are wasteful due to their single-use ... -
Contextualizing lutidine salts in photocatalytic, substitution reactions
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)Formation of new carbon-carbon bonds lies at the heart of organic chemistry. Radical intermediates are particularly well suited for reaction with a host of reaction partners to yield new carbon'carbon bonds and alkyl halides ... -
Continued isolation of anaerobic gut fungi from marsupial hosts
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-18)Anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) are commonly found in the digestive tracts of herbivores, where they play a crucial role in breaking down complex plant materials, such as cellulose and lignin, by adhering to plant biomass and ... -
Critical actors in subnational legislatures: A new frontier in women’s representation?
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-27)This study examines women’s issues and critical actors in Republican-controlled and Democrat-controlled U.S. state legislatures by examining publicly available legislative data. I study individual authors as potential ... -
Culturing novel anaerobic gut fungi from marsupials
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)Anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) from the phylum Neocallimastigomycota are an essential part of the microbiome in herbivores. These fungi aid in digestion in ruminants, pseudoruminants, and nonruminants alike, where they adhere ... -
Detection of Bemisia tabaci Meam1 and Med cryptic species in Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-18)The agricultural importance of Oklahoma combined with the sheer efficiency of insect pests for virus transmission makes whiteflies and the viruses they transmit a recipe for economic losses in the agriculture sector. Bemisia ... -
Determining the role of Gɑ3, Gɑ8, and PakF in Dictyostelium signaling
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-27)Dictyostelium discoideum is a free-living amoeba found in the soil. Dictyostelium (commonly referred to as "slime mold") exists as a unicellular amoeba in optimal environmental conditions. In suboptimal conditions (specifically ... -
