Therapeutic Applications of Bioconjugates in Human Disease
(2018-12-14)The unifying element tying together the therapeutics presented in this thesis is annexin A5. The protein, annexin 5 (ANXA5), is a membrane management protein that specifically binds to apoptotic cells. The natural ligand ... -
A Microphysical Analysis of the Stratiform Rain Region of Mesoscale Convective Systems using Polarimetric Radar and In Situ Aircraft Measurements
(2018-12-14)The benefits of using polarimetric weather radar data to infer microphysical properties of and processes within observed precipitation is becoming more widely recognized. The quasi-vertical profile (QVP) technique has ... -
SEVERE HAIL DETECTION USING REMOTE SENSING OBSERVATIONS AND AN EVALUATION OF THE ABOVE ANVIL CIRRUS PLUME FOR SEVERE WEATHER DETECTION
(2018-12-14)This thesis undergoes a comprehensive comparative analysis to address two main objectives: a) Thoroughly assess available radar, satellite, and lightning based products’ ability to identify hail events and size, and b) ... -
Pore-scale Modeling and Multi-scale Characterization of Liquid Transport in Shales
(2018-12-14)Distinct from conventional reservoirs, shale formations have limited pore connectivity and unique pore spatial-distribution. Consequently, theoretical pore-network models developed for conventional formations are not ... -
All risk and no reward: How benevolent and hostile sexism undermine women's development through feedback seeking
(2018-12-14)For nearly three decades, researchers have investigated a myriad of proactive behaviors in organizations, including feedback seeking. In general, feedback seeking and other forms of proactive behavior are believed to be ... -
Virtual Measurement of Valve Performance and its Application in Energy Efficiency Improvements
(2018-12)For heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning engineers, the measurement of system performance is a vital step in ensuring that the system in use is functioning at its optimal functionality. The measurement of water flow ... -
Reconstructing Resting State Networks from EEG
(2018-12)Resting state networks (RSNs) have been found in human brains during awake resting states. RSNs are composed of spatially distributed regions in which spontaneous activity fluctuations are temporally and dynamically ... -
Regional stratigraphy and proximal to distal variation of lithology and porosity within a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic system, Meramec and Osage series (Mississippian), central Oklahoma
(2018-12)Mississippian reservoirs of northern and central Oklahoma were deposited within a regionally extensive mixed carbonate-siliciclastic system. The stratigraphy, lithology, and porosity characteristics of the Mississippian ... -
SUBSURFACE PRESSURE MODELING OF SALTWATER DISPOSAL FOR THE ARBUCKLE AND TIMBERED HILLS-BASEMENT SYSTEM, ANADARKO SHELF, OKLAHOMA
(2018-12)Increased saltwater disposal (SWD) into a geologic zone, the Arbuckle Group, has been related to higher than background levels of seismicity in Oklahoma since 2009. Recent studies have shown statistical associations of ... -
Enhanced Sampling Methods for Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Proteins
(2018-12)Due to the many folds existing in nature, proteins are able to perform a multitude of functions within cells. This relationship between structure and function is one of great importance and has added to the understanding ... -
HAND GESTURES FOR DRONE CONTROL USING DEEP LEARNING
(2018-12)Commercial drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are rapidly becoming more prevalent and are used in many different applications, such as surveillance for sporting events, transportation for emergency ... -
A COMPARISON OF THE EVOKED ACTIVITY FROM OSCILLATING AUDITORY TONES: AMPLITUDE-MODULATED (AM) TONES AND BINAURAL BEATS (BB)
(2018-12)This study compares the neural response to binaural beat (BB) and amplitude-modulated tone (AM) auditory stimulation using power, phase-locking, and functional brain connectivity as assessed by electroencephalography (EEG). ... -

QUANTUM MONTE CARLO STUDY OF BOSONIC LATTICE SYSTEMS IN THE PRESENCE OF DISORDER
(2018-08-30)Disorder is ubiquitous in condensed matter systems, but a thorough understanding of these systems is hindered by poor control over the nature of disorder and competing interactions. Ultracold gases trapped in optical ... -
STUDYING THE GASTROINTESTINAL MICROBIOME OF A TRADITIONAL PERUVIAN COMMUNITY
(2018-08-24)The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an ecosystem that is home to a plethora of bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes, and viruses, collectively termed the “gut microbiota” or “microbiome” when referring to the genetic ... -
Automated detection of bird roosts using NEXRAD radar data and Convolutional neural networks
(2018-08-22)Although NEXRAD radars have proven to be an effective tool for detecting airborne animals, detecting biological phenomena in radar images often involves a manual, time‐ consuming data‐extraction process. This paper focuses ... -
What’s in Your Backyard?: A Curriculum Guide to Accompany The University of Oklahoma Citizen Science Soil Collection Program
(2018-08-08)This guide was designed to support educators by helping to integrate citizen science into the classroom environment. By including research about fungi in your classroom, you are helping to foster the development of scientific ... -
Effectiveness of Peer Coaching to Enhance Pre-Service Teachers' Self-Efficacy toward Science Instruction and Pedagogy Content Knowledge
(2018-08-07)Peer coaching, specifically its role in influencing pedagogical content knowledge and self-efficacy of pre-service teachers (PSTs) regarding teaching science in early education is examined. First, this study proposes a ...
