The Oklahoma Cyberinfrastructure Initiative
(2013-07-22)
The Oklahoma Cyberinfrastructure Initiative (OCII) is a mechanism by which institutions in the state can share resources, both physical and human, to enable research and education statewide to utilize advanced computing ...
Numerical simulation of transient cuttings transport with foam in horizontal wells
(2013)
The use of foam for underbalanced drilling applications is increasing significantly. This is because foam exhibits properties, which are desirable when drilling depleted and low-pressure wells. However, a good knowledge ...
TRINOMIAL-TREE DISTRIBUTION OF A NONLINEAR POSITIVE STOCHASTIC INTEREST RATE MODEL WITH CONNECTIONS TO THE POTENTIAL APPROACH AND ITS APPLICATION TO COMPUTING CORPORATE DEFAULT RISK
(2013)
In this dissertation, I consider a new nonlinear stochastic interest rate model that is adapted from a stochastic population growth model and exhibits the desirable properties of positivity of interest rates and mean ...
Influence of Exercise on the Temporal Response of Serum Osteocalcin Following Nutrient Intake
(2013)
Osteocalcin, also known as bone ã-carboxyglutamic acid, is an osteoblast-specific protein that has long be utilized in research as a marker of bone formation. Recently, osteocalcin has been recognized as a major regulator ...
Trusting with Skill: Testimony, Reliability and Epistemic Justification
(2013)
The majority of what you believe is based on the testimony of others; what your parents and teachers have taught you, what you read online or see on the news, etc. And most of the time you accept what these sources tell ...
WAVEFORM AND TRANSCEIVER OPTIMIZATION FOR MULTI-FUNCTIONAL AIRBORNE RADAR THROUGH ADAPTIVE PROCESSING
(2013)
Pulse compression techniques have been widely used for target detection and remote sensing. The primary concern for pulse compression is the sidelobe interference. Waveform design is an important method to improve the ...
OBSERVATIONS OF SUPERCELL TORNADO EVOLUTION USING A MOBILE, RAPID-SCAN, X-BAND RADAR
(2013)
On 24 May 2011, a series of supercell thunderstorms and violent tornadoes tore through central Oklahoma. A mobile, rapid-scan, X-band, polarimetric, Doppler radar (RaXPol), collected data from one of those storms as it ...
Nomadismo, poética de la desolación e intertextualidad en
(2013)
This dissertation examines the role of nomadism, poetics of desolation and intertextuality present in seven of Álvaro Mutis's novels included in the book Empresas y tribulaciones de Maqroll el Gaviero. In this process I ...
Imitating Nature: The Effects of Asymmetry and Strain on Copper and Iron Complexes with Schiff Base Ligands
(2013)
Metalloenzymes are incredibly complex "machines" which catalyze reactions essential for life. Metal ions are found in more than half of all known proteins; particularly, copper and iron are abundant in active sites performing ...
