NOT UPGRADED TOURISM: A CASE STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF A SHORT-TERM STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE IN ISRAEL
(2018-05-11)International education has been evolving in the past decade, with short-term study abroad programs gradually growing to be the dominant type of program. With this growth comes the need to develop a concentrated and impactful ... -
A Note on Rank-Size and Primacy: In Pursuit of a Parsimonious Explanation
(Urban Studies, 1984-05-01) -
Nothing routine: Television news management's response to COVID-19, organizational uncertainty, and changes in news work
(2021-05-14)COVID-19 has impacted television news routines and created organizational challenges that required re-organization of journalism work (Wood, 2020). This shift created considerable uncertainty for news creation. Some of the ... -
Novachip-Ultrathin Bonded Wearing Course Construction Report (FHWA-OK(06)
(2005-10)Open Graded Friction Course (OGFC) pavement sheds water and provides good skid resistance. A problem with OGFC surfaces is short life before raveling begins. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is testing ... -
Novel annexin A5 - nanoparticles conjugates for targeted cancer therapy
(2022-12-09)Cancer is considered the single most critical barrier to improving life expectancy in every country. More specifically, the high prevalence of breast cancer is a global health concern, but there are no safe or effective ... -
Novel aspects of benzoate and crotonate metabolism by the strictly anaerobic bacterium Syntrophus aciditrophicus strain SB.
(2007)Although enzyme activities and metabolites detected in S. aciditrophicus indicated that benzoate was degraded by the pathway found in Rhodopseudomonas palustris, proteomic data detected the gene products homologous to ... -
Novel biomarker application reveals the microbial ecological dynamics surrounding Oceanic Anoxic Event II (OAE-2)
(2021-05-14)Biomarkers are established facets of paleoenvironmental study, yet significant untapped potential remains. Conventional methods (e.g. GC-MS) fail to characterize large, polar molecules, which often possess greater biological ... -
Novel Biomarker Distributions in the Chesterian Limestone of the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
(2017-05)18α(H)-Oleanane is a biomarker that is proposed to be derived from β-amyrin, which is produced by angiosperm plants. As such, the presence of 18α(H)-oleanane is often used as an indicator that the petroleum source is of ... -
Novel catalytic materials for carbon dioxide reforming of methane under severely deactivating conditions.
(1999)Promotion of the ZrO2 support with cerium and lanthanum resulted in increased activity and stability of the catalyst. The improved performance of the promoted catalyst can be attributed stabilizing the surface area for ... -
Novel cobalt-mediated regio- and stereoselective radical cyclizations.
(1998)Initial efforts focused on the intermolecular additions of the radicals to electron deficient double bonds, but they were unsuccessful. Efforts then focused on intramolecular cyclizations of 1-[(alkynyl)Co2(CO) 6]-5-hexenyl ... -
Novel Computer-Aided Diagnosis Schemes for Radiological Image Analysis
(2022-05-13)The computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) scheme is a powerful tool in assisting clinicians (e.g., radiologists) to interpret medical images more accurately and efficiently. In developing high-performing CAD schemes, classic ... -
Novel Finite Element Method to Predict Blast Wave Transmission Through Human Ear
(2016-08)As military weapons systems continue to become more powerful, the noise levels they generate become more dangerous to the soldiers deploying them. This has increased the need for advanced methods of evaluating the risks ... -
A Novel Framework for Optimizing Indoor Illuminance and Discovering Association of Involved Variables
(2022-06-22)The associations between various design variables affecting the visual performance of responsive facade systems are investigated in this study. First, we propose a data-driven approach to study practical aspects of illuminance ... -
Novel Inducers of Fetal Globin Identified through High Throughput Screening (HTS) Are Active In Vivo in Anemic Baboons and Transgenic Mice
(PLos One, 2015-12-29)High-level fetal (γ) globin expression ameliorates clinical severity of the beta (β) hemoglobinopathies, and safe, orally-bioavailable γ-globin inducing agents would benefit many patients. We adapted a LCR-γ-globin ... -
A Novel Method for the Characterization of Anisotropic Materials
(2018-12-14)This thesis details the successful conceptualization, development, and proof of concept testing of a novel system for the characterization of a material's electromagnetic properties. In particular, the proposed system was ... -
Novel phenomena in confined electronic systems.
(2007)Modern experimental methods have made it possible for physicists to investigate matter in extreme conditions. Two of the most extreme conditions are low temperature and low dimensionality. Fabricated semiconductor or metal ... -
Novel platinum/KL catalysts for the aromatization of N-hexane.
(2000)Finally, regeneration of Pt/KL catalysts was studied for sulfur poisoned catalysts. While air effectively burned off coke deposits, sintering of Pt resulted. An oxychlorination treatment effectively redispersed the Pt. -
A novel polysaccharide-based surface engineering strategy for nanomedicines
(2022-08-04)This dissertation presents the development and evaluation of a novel polysaccharide-based surface engineering strategy for nanomedicines. Chapter one summaries the current status of nanoparticle toxicology. Nanoparticles ... -
A NOVEL POST-HOC MATCHING PROCEDURE USING STATISTICAL LEARNING METHODS
(2016)In this thesis, a statistical learning method is leveraged to create a novel measure for conducting post-hoc matching between a treatment group and a candidate set. Post-hoc matching is a necessary element in many non-random ... -
A NOVEL SCAFFOLD FOR GENERATION OF 3D TUMOR CONSTRUCTS
(2017-06-16)Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the United States, leading to over $440 million in annual funding for research and yet anticancer drug development is an unmet need. In order to find a more effective way ...
