Helping Hands: The effect of 3D-printing on ASL literature instruction
(Oklahoma State University, 2020-04-24)This poster presents a convergent mixed methods case study that examines how the use of an American Sign Language (ASL) handshape manipulative affects the ASL poetry created by ASL students at Oklahoma State University. ... -
Aerodynamics of revolving bristled wings at low Reynolds Number
(Oklahoma State University, 2020-04-24)Thrips are one among the wide variety of tiny insects (body length under 2 mm) that are capable of flight at Reynolds number on the order of 10. Unlike larger insects like dragonflies and fruit flies, the wing structure ... -
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 ... -
Does coffee affect the validity of an oral abbreviated fat tolerance test in healthy adults?
(Oklahoma State University, 2020-04-24)Objectives: Postprandial triglycerides (TG), or levels of fat in the blood after a meal, are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) (1). A clinically feasible test to assess postprandial TG has been ... -
Bio-inspired design of underwater drones: Metachronal, synchronous, and hybrid stroke kinematics in paddling-based swimming at low Reynolds Numbers
(Oklahoma State University, 2020-04-24)Metachronal paddling is a form of locomotion common in pelagic crustaceans such as krill, in which a series of swimming appendages are stroked in an oscillatory pattern, each appendage with a phase lag compared to the ... -
Recreating Wonder Woman's invisible plane: A quantitative analysis of UAV visual signature manipulation via counterillumination
(Oklahoma State University, 2020-04-24)This study analyzes the effectiveness of an optical camouflage method called counterillumination and its effectiveness on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Counterillumination is achieved by emitting blue light on the ... -
Security for autonomous cyber-physical systems
(Oklahoma State University, 2020-04-24)Remote disablement and control of autonomous cyber-physical systems is possible through the external manipulation of sensory subsystems. Many modern autonomous systems utilize neural networks to fuse and parse data from ... -
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in apparel retailing: Examining retail strategies to enhance the customer experience
(Oklahoma State University, 2020-04-24)Augmented and Virtual Reality are both relatively new technologies, even more new to the apparel industry. These technologies allow users to put themselves in a virtual simulation that feels real. This research studies how ... -
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 ... -
Influence of obesity on biomechanics models and simulations
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)Digital Anthropometry, also known as 3D body scanning, has been making its way into biomechanical research in recent years. Biomechanical simulations of motions are commonly developed using a generic model of the human ... -
Calcium deposition as a novel virulence factor in the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)Calcium (Ca) deposition in soft tissues has been associated with several bacterial infections including cystic fibrosis (CF). In CF patients, the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the predominant cause of death. We ... -
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). -
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 ... -
Flight testing a Venus aerial platform in Earth's atmosphere: The application of biodegradable materials for high altitude solar balloons

Do Anolis lizards recognize heterospecific neighbors?
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)Many organisms establish territories, though the reasons are varied and not always understood. Organisms that establish territories often must defend them against invaders. Territorial animals sometimes exhibit “dear enemy ... -
Quantifying the effect of methane production on surrounding soil atmospheric gas exchange
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)By observing the behavior of soil microorganisms with respect to proximity to a methane production site (dairy farm lagoon), the relationship between anthropogenically manipulated atmospheric methane levels and methane ... -
Antifungal activity of EIPE-1, an eumelanin compound, against Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)In the past century, anti-fungal drugs have had much success in the treatment of fungal pathogens. However, due to similarities between fungal and mammalian cells, many of these treatments are toxic. In addition, fungi ... -
