(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-27)Survey and discussion of Malayan Emergency and Vietnam Conflict, with discussion and comparison of tactics and casualties. -
Synergistic induction of avian immune gene expression by sirtuin modulators and histone methyltransferase inhibitors
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-15)With the parallel increase in the global demand for poultry production and rise in the threat of antimicrobial resistance, the development of novel antibiotic alternatives is integral to the security of the food-animal ... -
Synthesis and characterization of tridentate quinoline-based NCO ligands
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-18)Over the last few decades, there has been growing interest in the coordination chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and their use in catalysis, with pincer-type systems being particularly significant due to their ... -
Synthesis, purification, and characterization of guest molecules for inclusion in cucurbit[n]urils
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n]) is a unique macrocycle that can bind small molecules with promising potential applications in drug delivery, molecular machines, and smart materials. This work focuses on the supramolecular equilibrium ... -
Synthesizing Tetraphenylporphyrins and Metalloporphyrins using microwave and ultrasonic reactors
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-10-01)Tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) is a macrocyclic molecule found in biological compounds. TPP's UV-Vis spectrum ranges from 380-500 nanometers. Metalloporphyrins (MeP) are considered “bioinspired oxidation catalysts” and are ... -
Tagging endogenous mitochondrial proteins using CRISPR/Cas9 technology

Technique for non-invasive identification of wild frogs using photographs
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-15)Photographic mark-recapture is a recent mark-recapture method to identify individuals in a species. This method uses photographs and the species natural pattern to identify them. Amphibians are difficult to mark reliably. ... -
Technology's impact on vocabulary skills in infants and toddlers
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)Technology is becoming increasingly prominent in today’s society, and children are being exposed to screens at younger ages than in previous years. This exposure has led to teachers and parents questioning how technology ... -
Testing coiled nylon threads as artificial muscles for exoskeletons
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-10-05)The popularity of robotic exoskeletons in rehabilitation is on the rise. However, high cost and bulkiness are two limitations that hinder their popularity and everyday use. Our overarching goal is to develop a low-cost ... -
Thermo-acoustic effect
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)The thermo-acoustic effect is a phenomenon in which a temperature gradient is produced across a porous structure, known as a stack, when an acoustic wave is introduced to the system. The inverse of this process can also ... -
Towards culturing anaerobic gut fungi from an avian herbivore
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)Anaerobic gut fungi (AGF, phylum Neocallimastigomycota) are an understudied group of microorganisms that reside in the digestive tracts of herbivorous mammals and aid in plant biomass degradation. This degradation is ... -
Treatment of Wilson's disease with alpha lipoic acid
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-27)Wilson's disease is the malfunction of the copper removing protein ATP7B. This rare, genetic disease affects the body by accumulating copper in vital organs such as the liver, brain, and eyes. There are currently two drugs ... -
Understanding awareness of food security resources available to university students
