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 ... -
Developing content knowledge of constant rate of change
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)A mathematics teacher's instruction is informed by their pedagogical knowledge (teaching theories and tactics) and content knowledge (ability to solve and understand math problems). A successful teacher must utilize both ... -
Different RsbR paralogs in Bacillus subtilis affect cell viability when exposed to environmental stress
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-26)Stress is a universal phenomenon experienced by all living organisms. Bacteria have to react to stress quickly in order to survive in their environment. Environmental stress can be caused by a variety of factors, including ... -
Differential effects of prebiotics on the gut mucosal immune response within the Peyer’s patches compared to the lamina propria of c57bl/6 female mice
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-27)This study was designed to examine the effects of two difference prebiotics (i.e., tart cherry and fructooligosaccharides) on cytokines and chemokines that regulate T cell homing, differentiation and activation within ... -
Discovery and characterization of novel fungal diversity in the equine alimentary tract
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Fungi provide crucial ecosystem services in multiple ecosystems. Most fungi thrive as free-living organisms, but many forge symbiotic, predatory, pathogenic, and commensal relationships with algae, plants, and animals. One ... -
Discovery and characterization of novel fungal diversity in the equine alimentary tract
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-15)Most fungi thrive as free-living organisms, but few can forge symbiotic relationships with their hosts. One of the most enigmatic fungal groups are the anaerobic fungi (AF, phylum Neocallimastigomycota). They reside in the ... -
Distribution of Daphnia resting eggs: Invasive vs native and their effects
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-27)Daphnia lumholtzi is an example of a successful aquatic invasive species. When conditions are less favorable, D. lumholtzi switch from producing female eggs to the production of diapausing eggs (called ephippia) that are ... -
