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
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)
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 ...
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 ...
Effect of mitochondrial inhibitor on fresh meat color
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)
Oxygen consumption is a muscle property that influences beef color. A greater amount of oxygen consumption results in less bloom and darker meat color while lower oxygen consumption produces a more desirable, bright, cherry ...
