Geometric evolution equations and p-harmonic theory with applications in differential geometry.
(2006)
In this dissertation, we consider parabolic (e.g. Ricci flow) and elliptic (e.g. p-harmonic equations) partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds and use them to study geometric and topological problems. More ...
Conversion of alicyclic compounds for improvement of fuel properties.
(2006)
The presence of Pt improves the production of ring-contraction and ring-opening products from tetralin due to hydrogenation of tetralin to decalin. In addition, the location of metal (Pt) affects the ratio of RC/RO on the ...
Reaction pathways and catalyst phase transformations during synthesis of nanotubes and nanowires by the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism.
(2006)
The discovery of carbon nanotubes and semiconductor nanowires has initiated an exploding research field in which enormous efforts have been invested due to their fundamental significance to the study of size- and ...
The school experiences of Native American and Alaska Native students: A closer look at self determination theory.
(2006)
Multiple regression was performed to examine how well need satisfaction predicted the G.P.A. and well being scores of American Indian college students. In addition, open ended questions asked students about perceived ...
Performance characteristics of selected asphalt mixes : a laboratory and field study
(2006)
A combined laboratory and field study was undertaken to investigate the performance characteristics of some Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixes that are commonly used by Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT). Four different ...
Neo-Populist Party emergence in advanced industrial democracies: Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
(2006)
This dissertation develops an explanatory model of neo-populist party emergence in advanced industrial democracies, specifically the founding of Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party in Australia, the New Zealand First Party ...
Evaluating Percent Within Limits (PWL) Specifications Volume 1: HMA Specifications (FHWA-OK 06(05)v1 2172)
(2006-5)
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) has let four paving jobs for construction where percent within limits (PWL) specifications were employed. The PWL specifications are intended to be used as part of the Quality ...
USE OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE IN OKLAHOMA BRIDGE DECKS
(2006-7)
An investigation was performed to develop four different high performance concrete (HPC) mixtures for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s (ODOT’s) 2004 Innovative Bridge Research and Construction (IBRC) project ...
Extending the Traditional Classroom Through Online Discussion: The Role of Student Motivation
(Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2006-01-01)
Two studies addressed students' motivation and participation in an online discussion board which was part of a traditional lecture-based course. The discussion board represented an external communication resource to extend ...
The influence of improved land surface and soil data on mesoscale model predictions.
(2006)
A principal-component regression reveals simple relationships between latent heat flux and other available surface observations. Development of a new parameterization for evaporation from bare soil takes advantage of periods ...
