Full textAbstract:
A nursery certification manual was originally designed to provide initial and/or continuing education to nursery employees. Industry leaders wrote a manual and corresponding examination to initiate a pilot program. This manual has been revised by Oklahoma State University faculty in cooperation with the Oklahoma State Nurserymen's Association. The revised manual covers basic plant science, ornamental and related garden center plant materials, growth and cultural management concepts, basic business guidelines and current laws and regulations governing the nursery industry. After studying the 20 chapter manual, a rigorous examination is administered. Over 100 nursery workers have been certified to date. Employers have reported increased efficiency from these certified workers. Enhanced public confidence is another advantage to the Oklahoma Certified Nurseryman's Program. This program is likely to be adopted by most retail nurseries in the state.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – As colleges and universities face the shifts of decreasing government funds, increased operating costs, and waning alumni financial support, institutions are now plunging themselves into practices traditionally associated with the business sector. Practices like branding are now being used as a mechanism to increase engagement of alumni and potential donors. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of brand identification, or the defining of the self through association with an organization, on alumni supportive behaviors. Design/methodology/approach – The researchers surveyed alumni of a mid-sized state-run university in the mid-Atlantic region of the USA to see if identification affected donation behaviors such as choice to donate, total dollar amount donated, and the number of times donated. Findings – The survey findings showed that brand identification correlated with choice to donate, increased donation dollar amount, and the number of donations. Findings also suggested that interpretation of brand, prestige, satisfaction with student affairs, and participation were positively associated with identification. Research limitations/implications – The results of this study are specific to one institution. This research offers support for the importance and value of brand management in higher education. The study also highlights those determinants of brand identification which suggests the use of integrative fundraising techniques. Originality/value – The study highlighted that university brand identification increases the explanatory power for alumni donor behaviors over those variables typically explored in traditional donor models.

Full textAbstract:
The WxChallenge, a project developed at the University of Oklahoma, brings a state-of-the-art, fun, and exciting forecast contest to participants at colleges and universities across North America. The challenge is to forecast the maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation, and maximum wind speeds for select locations across the United States over a 24-h prediction period. The WxChallenge is open to all undergraduate and graduate students, as well as higher-education faculty, staff, and alumni. Through the use of World Wide Web interfaces accessible by personal computers, tablet computer, and smartphones, the WxChallenge provides a state-of-the-art portal to aid participants in submitting forecasts and alleviate many of the administrative issues (e.g., tracking and scoring) faced by local managers and professors. Since its inception in 2006, 110 universities have participated in the contest and it has been utilized as part of the curricula for 140 classroom courses at various institutions. The inherently challenging nature of the WxChallenge has encouraged its adoption as an educational tool. As its popularity has grown, professors have seen the utility of the Wx-Challenge as a teaching aid and it has become an instructional resource of many meteorological classes at institutions for higher learning. In addition to evidence of educational impacts, the competition has already begun to leave a cultural and social mark on the meteorological learning experience.

PurposeIn response to global competitive challenges, universities recently started developing better strategies for branding. Branding has been used as a differentiation strategy for higher education institutions. As the number of universities (public and private) has increased, so has the competition for students, the universities in Turkey have faced similar challenges. The main objective of this study is to investigate, from the students' perspective, the role of interactions of brand equity dimensions in creating a strong university brand.Design/methodology/approachCompiling from the literature, the study used a survey instrument to collect data at a comprehensive public university in Turkey. To assure representation of students across the campus, the sample included students at freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior and graduate levels from all major colleges.FindingsBased on 1,300 usable surveys from students across all colleges of a major state university, the PLS-SEM model revealed significant relationships among the brand equity dimensions of brand awareness, perceived quality, brand association, learning environment, emotional environment, brand trust, brand loyalty and university reputation. These brand dimensions collectively and/or individually influence the students' university learning experiences that may result in creating strong university brand equity.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was conducted at a government-owned university in Turkey capturing only students' perceptions. Future research could benefit from perceptions of other stakeholders like faculty, staff, alumni, and parents and testing the relationships for different types of universities. This study discusses the implications for developing university branding strategies.Originality/valueThe study empirically tests the validity and effects of the university brand equity dimensions with Turkish university students using structural equation modeling (SEM). It confirms that the measures of brand equity dimensions are also applicable in a different country.

Full textAbstract:
Increased biomass production could be an important criterion for future grain yield improvement in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Quick assessment of genetic variations for biomass production may become a useful tool for wheat breeders. The potential of using canopy spectral reflectance indices (SRI) to assess genetic variation for biomass production in winter wheat was evaluated. Three experiments were conducted for 2 yr (2003-2004 and 2004-2005) at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK. The first experiment consisted of 25 winter wheat cultivars, and the other two experiments contained two sets of 25 F4:6 and F4:7 recombinant inbred lines from two crosses developed by breeding programs in the great plains of the United States of America. Three groups of SRI (vegetation-based, pigment-based, and water-based) were tested for their ability to assess biomass production at three growth stages (booting, heading, and grainfilling). The water index and the normalized water indices gave stronger genetic correlations (P < 0.01) and linear relationship for biomass production compared with the vegetation-based and pigment-based indices. The strong association of water-based indices with biomass was related to the canopy water content of the genotypes. Canopy water content was significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with biomass production. A strong positive association (P < 0.05) of grain yield and dry biomass was observed at the heading and grainfilling stages. Our study demonstrated the potential of using water-based SRI as a breeding tool to estimate genetic variability and identify genotypes with higher biomass production, and could eventually help to achieve higher grain yield in winter wheat. Key words: Wheat; biomass; grain yield; spectral reflectance index

Abstract Objectives Phase angle, derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), is used to describe both cellular and overall health. Many of the variables measured using BIA vary based on the hydration status of the individual. The ratio between extracellular water/total body water is commonly measured in BIA, and can be used as a measure of individual hydration. This pilot study explores the relationship between individual hydration status and phase angle and other BIA measurements. Methods Male college students (n = 57) from Oklahoma State University-Stillwater were recruited through an email messaging campaign. The participants answered an online Qualtrics demographic survey; height (±0.1 cm), blood pressure, and weight were taken. The Seca Medical Body Composition Analyzer mBCA 514 was used to conduct the BIA. Variable mean, standard deviations, and frequencies were calculated using SPSS version 25. Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis were conducted. Significance was set at &lt;.05. Results Participants characteristics included: age (m = 21.7 ± 1.3 years), 54% BMI &lt;25, 39% blood pressure &lt;120/80, and 63% white/7% Native American. Mean % body fat was 20.28 ± 8.76, and skeletal muscle was 32.223 kg ± 4.432 and visceral fat was 2.01 liters ± 2.11.Phase angle percentile ranged from 1% to 99% (m = 62.0% ± 31.4) and extracellular water/total body water ratio (ECW/TBW) ranged from 35.7 to 41.6 (m = 39.32 ± 1.35). Phase angle percentile was positively correlated with skeletal muscle mass (r = 0.503, P = 0.000) and negatively correlated with ECW/TBW (r = −0.659, P = 0.000), but not with other BIA variables. These two variables significantly predicted phase angle percentile (r2 = 0.817, P = 0.000). The standardized β was −0.762 (P = 0.000) for ECW/TBW and 0.627 (P = 0.000) for skeletal muscle mass. Conclusions The association of ECW/TBW on phase angle percentile suggest further investigation of the impact of water on this indicator of health is warranted. An investigation with a method of modulating ECW/TBW would be a logical next step in understanding this relationship.

Full textAbstract:
Using The Public Higher Education Boards Database designed by Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) in 2008, this paper reviewed prior studies of governing boards and investigated regional differences of boards' characteristics including board type, selection method, board composition, provision condition, term length, supervision, and meeting frequency. The results show tha: (1) highly centralized state university governance with more political control exist in West and Middle West; (2) governing boards in Northeast are more autonomous with high percentage of alumni and self-perpetuating members and less political affiliations; (3) more faculty participations appear in South and West, and most Middle West boards do not have removal process and longer length of term.
