Quantifying Ammonia Volatilization from Swine Effluent Applied Calcareous Clay Loams in the Southern Great Plains
(Oklahoma State University, 2006-12-01)A study conducted during summer of 2004 and 2005 to evaluate ammonia volatilization from swine effluent on calcareous clayey loam soils. Ammonia volatilization from applied swine effluent ranged from 21.7% to 57.8 %. On ... -
Quantifying and Analyzing Relationships Between Well Log Attributes and Production for the Mississippian Play in Woods County, Ok
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)This case study outlines a workflow to use older vertical well data to better understand hydrocarbon plays and help guide modern horizontal drilling. The focus of the study is Woods County, Oklahoma which lies in the heart ... -
Quantifying and Mitigating Debris-Induced Bias in Radar Measurements of Tornadic Winds
(2021)The centrifuging of lofted tornadic debris is known to cause bias in Doppler radar measurements of tornado wind speeds. Debris presence in a radar volume is associated with anomalous radial divergence, underestimation of ... -
Quantifying antioxidant activity of lycopene and influence of watermelon maturity on tissue ultrastructure and lycopene distribution
(2006-07)Scope and Method of Study: Lycopene, a lipophilic antioxidant, plays a crucial role in biological systems. Watermelon, a natural source of lycopene (~48.7µg/g), could be a useful ingredient in functional foods. Correlating ... -
Quantifying Behavioral Isolation Between Closely Related Species of Mice
(2018-12-01)Mate choice, the propensity of one individual to preferentially mate with another individual that expresses certain phenotypic values, can be a strong force in promoting or limiting gene flow between species. Individuals ... -
QUANTIFYING COSTS AND BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS IN THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY
(2013-12)Advocates of sustainable design and construction have asserted for years that sustainability can be designed and built without additional expense, however this premise has not been proven. For public projects, potential ... -
Quantifying Crises’ Effects on Organizational Reputation
(2017-05-13)Crisis communication research has been significantly advanced over the past 50 years with models and theories. But it lacks a method for assigning objective, numerical values to how severe a crisis is on an organization’s ... -
Quantifying Enteric Methane Emissions by Stocker Cattle Grazing Winter Wheat
(2017-12-01)The carbon footprint of the beef industry has become an important topic for the general public, and therefore, stakeholders in the industry. Enteric methane is a major contributor to carbon footprint and is a significant ... -
Quantifying fluvial resistance of streambanks using jet erosion tests
(2014-12)The United States has over forty-thousand impaired water bodies with sediment listed as one of the top five causes of impairment. Recent research has found that more than 50% of fine sediment in watersheds originates from ... -
Quantifying groundwater interaction with streams and thermal regime implications
(2017-12)Groundwater interaction plays an essential role in aquatic ecosystems and is involved in a range of water quantity and quality issues. However, quantifying stream-groundwater interactions has been difficult and labor ... -
QUANTIFYING HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY IN MINE DRAINAGE PASSIVE TREATMENT SYSTEM VERTICAL FLOW BIOREACTORS
(2016-12)Heavy industrial mining has occurred in the United States for more than 100 years, and in many cases, has led to large-scale environmental degradation, especially from historical operations where mining occurred prior to ... -
Quantifying Nanoparticle Attachment to Produce Surfaces
(2024-05-10)In recent years, nanoparticles have emerged as an intriguing tool in the field of agriculture, showing capabilities to increase performance and efficiency in several areas throughout the process of crop production. For ... -
QUANTIFYING PARTICLE TRANSPORTATION FOR UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION
(2017-12)The objectives of this research dissertation include: (1) develop a novel procedure of single well chemical tracer test (SWCTT) and modification of method of moments (MoM) to estimate mobile oil saturation; (2) apply ... -
Quantifying phosphorus loads and streambank erosion in the Ozark Highland Ecoregion using the SWAT model
(2015-12)Phosphorus (P) and sediment are major pollutants of waterbodies in the United States. Recent research has shown that future management practices must consider legacy P, especially from streambanks. Identifying and quantifying ... -
Quantifying Precipitation Efficiency and Drivers of Excessive Precipitation in Post-Landfall Hurricane Harvey
(2019)Hurricane Harvey produced widespread rainfall amounts over 1000 mm in portions of Southeast Texas, including Houston from 26-31 August 2017. The highly efficient and prolonged warm rain processes associated with Harvey ... -
Quantifying sediment loads from streambank erosion and potential load reductions from streambank stabilization using process-based modeling
(2017-07)Unstable streambanks contribute a significant sediment load to surface waters in some watersheds. Streambank stabilization techniques are available to increase stability of streambanks or reduce erodibility, thereby reducing ... -
