Edwin D. Soderstrom
No full textThe Oklahoma A&M College World War I Veterans collection captures the memories and experiences of the men and women of Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College who served in World War I. In 1919, a project headed by Maude Cass, the editor of the 1919 Redskin; Professor Maroney of the Department of History; Margaret Walters, Librarian; and J.W. Cantwell, the College President, was undertaken to survey these veterans. The surveys were returned along with photographs, letters, and newspaper clippings documenting these veterans’ experiences during World War I

Culms homomorphic, erect below, arching and clambering above, often supported by trees, 2.5–20 m tall, infra- and supranodal bands of trichomes usually absent [present in E. capitatum (Trinius 1835: 626) Londoño in Londoño & Clark (2002: 714)]. Branch complement with one dominant and smaller secondary branches, without thorns. Culm leaves and foliage leaves clearly distinct. Culm leaves not clearly differentiated along the culm, with reflexed blades, narrower than the sheath summit, sheath fimbriae present. Foliage leaf sheaths with fimbriae at the apex or not, translucent swelling absent, outer ligule present, blades narrowly triangular, ovate-lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, midnerve prominent. Synflorescences terminal to leafy, indeterminate, 1–15 pseudospikelets per coflorescence, coflorescences either with one to few pseudospikelets and open or with several to many pseudospikelets and congested to capitate, each coflorescence and paraclade or pseudospikelet with one subtending bract; pseudospikelets sessile, bisexual, glumes absent, comprising 1 prophyll, 0–4 gemmiparous bracts, with 1–17 fertile anthecium, smooth, and with 1–4 terminal rudimentary anthecium. Fruit a basic caryopsis, hilum linear, as long as the caryopsis. Eremocaulon is a woody bamboo genus endemic to Brazil (Londoño & Clark 2002, Kellogg 2015, Jesus-Costa et al. 2018). It is characterized by its branch complement with one dominant and smaller secondary branches, without thorns, infra- and supranodal bands of trichomes absent (present in E. capitatum), culm leaves with reflexed blades, narrower than the sheath, foliage leaves with midnerve prominent and synflorescences composed of pseudospikelets (Londoño & Clark 2002). The genus has five species in the Amazon, Cerrado and Mata Atlântica domains (Lopes-Neto et al. 2020). In the Serra do Cachimbo, the genus is represented by one species.Published as part of Lopes-Neto, Raimundo Balieiro & Viana, Pedro Lage, 2022, Flora of the Serra do Cachimbo (Eastern Amazon, Brazil): Bambusoideae (Poaceae), including the description of two new species, pp. 99-129 in Phytotaxa 550 (2) on page 107, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.550.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/664108

IgG subclass deficiency in patients with Down's syndrome and aberrant hepatitis B vaccine response.
No full textSeventeen adult patients with Down's syndrome (DS) and 19 adult healthy references were vaccinated with a hepatitis B vaccine in order to study the IgG subclass response. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using monoclonal antibodies specific for IgG subclasses was employed. In spite of normal levels of total IgG1 and normal or even high levels of IgG3 in the DS patients, a significantly lower IgG1 response to the vaccine was observed in trisomic patients than in the references
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Dr. Glendon Swarthout
No full textHosted by Roger M. Busfield, MSU Assistant Professor of Speech and Theater, Meet the Author is designed to introduce a general audience to a contemporary author and their work through in-depth interviews. This episode features a conversation between Dr. Glendon Swarthout, prolific author and English professor at MSU, and assistant professors Sam S. Baskett and Theodore B. Strandness
Multiple sclerosis (MS)-associated retrovirus in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of optic neuritis patients: a clinico-radiological study.
No full textOxygen K-edge x-ray-emission-threshold-electron coincidence spectrum of CO2
No full textThe oxygen K-edge x-ray-emission–threshold-electron coincidence spectrum of CO2 is presented. A twostep
model, describing the result as a threshold-photoelectron spectrum free from post-collision interaction
effects, predicts the salient features of the measured spectrum. Small discrepancies from the predictions are
discussed in terms of threshold ionization dynamics
Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
Get PDFFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
