Empathy downside: The role of empathy and autism traits in happiness
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-18)Prior research has shown that high empathetic people may be more prone to depression than others (Yan et al., 2021). The present research investigated the relationship between empathy and happiness. We hypothesized that ... -
Enzymatic assessment of cells with distinct TP53 mutations
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)The p53 transcription factor, encoded by the human gene TP53, is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancers. Once the TP53 gene is mutated, p53 proteins not only lose their tumor suppression abilities but can also ... -
Enzymatic assessment of cells with distinct TP53 mutations
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-15)The p53 transcription factor, encoded by the human gene TP53, is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancers. Once the TP53 gene is mutated, p53 proteins not only lose their tumor suppression abilities but can also ... -
Epigenetic modulation of avian host defense peptide synthesis
(Oklahoma State University, 2020-04-24)The threat of antibiotic resistance has catalyzed the demand for novel antibiotic alternatives in veterinary and human medicine. In response, the activation of the innate immune system has become a promising alternative ... -
Evaluating the core microbiome of Manduca sexta
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-27)Microbiomes are complex communities of microorganisms that colonize many surfaces of an animal's body, especially those niches lined with carbohydrate-rich mucosal layers such as the eyes, male and female reproductive ... -
Evaluating the effect of promoter strength on the complementation of deletion mutants in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-26)The CO2 uptake mechanism within Cyanobacteria plays a vital role in our environment due to its photosynthetic ability to uptake CO2 and produce oxygen. Cyanobacteria possesses an inorganic carbon concentrating mechanism ... -
Evaluation of lactic acid bacteria for a direct-fed-microbial against shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli in food animals
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) have caused numerous foodborne outbreaks and recalls, with meat products and fresh produce as implicated vehicles. Food animals, especially ruminants, are well-known reservoirs. ... -
Examining the role of MekA and YakA in Dictyostelium signaling
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-27)A series of trials were conducted to determine how each protein or kinase plays a role in the signaling of a cell. Among the factors tested were response time, extent of response, and the response under varying stimuli ... -
Experimental wake survey of low Reynolds number wind tunnel
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-18)This poster presents the integration of a mechanical traverse and multi-hole probe for use in low Reynolds number wake surveys. Advanced testing equipment offers enhanced data processing and visualization of three-dimensional ... -
Exploration of mechanisms of inhibition of exosome secretion by novel drugs in ovarian cancer cells
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that contain macromolecular cargo and play a significant role in intercellular communication. Several studies have cited exosomes as having a role in ovarian cancer progression. ... -
Exploring genetic algorithm as an image synthesizer for cases with limited training samples
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-07-25) -
Exploring the ecological implications of seed defense strategies in Oklahoma forests
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-27)An important but often overlooked topic in plant community research explores bottlenecks to plant recruitment and survival due to seed predation (granivory). Often, granivory has a higher impact on seedling survival than ... -
Exploring the use of enzymes to dissolve blood clots
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-15)Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition caused by the buildup of plaque in the coronary artery. This plaque is mostly composed of fibrin and other components of blood clots. Coronary heart disease is caused by blood ... -
Exploring the viability of side imaging sonar to enumerate Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula)
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)A look at the usefulness of a revolutionary new way to monitor the population characteristics of Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula). -
Exploring the winner-loser effect on emotion in crickets
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)Individual variation in behavioral traits, commonly referred to as 'personality,' is exhibited in numerous animal species, including invertebrates. The specific personality trait of exploration tendency may be affected by ... -
Expression and isolation of the membrane proteoglycan syndecan-1 from E. coli
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-26)Syndecan-1 is a membrane proteoglycan, which is a protein with glycosaminoglycans, or long carbohydrate chains, attached to its extracellular domain. The syndecan family is composed of various proteoglycans that each aid ... -
Feeding behavior of Acheta domesticus infected with Paragordius varius
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-27)There has not been a lot of research on the phylum nematomorpha, hairworms. There is a large gap in the knowledge of hairworms in their host-parasite relationship, especially on their dietary habits. Our study observed the ... -
