COSMOLOGY WITH TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE: ROBUST TECHNIQUES FOR DATA ANALYSIS AND PHOTOMETRIC CLASSIFICATION
(2017-05)
Since the accelerating expansion of the Universe was discovered by observing distant Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), SNe Ia have been playing an important role in constraining the unknown cause behind the observed cosmic ...
BLACK MALE COLLEGIANS’ PERCEPTIONS OF STUDENT SUCCESS AT HISTORICALLY WHITE INSTITUTIONS
(2017-07)
This study explored how Black male collegians define success during their college enrollment. Over the last 20 years, a robust amount of literature has been devoted to the topic of Black male students in higher education, ...
Diatoms on the carapace of common snapping turtles : Luticola spp. dominate despite spatial variation in assemblages
(2017-02-13)
Filamentous algae are often visible on the carapaces of freshwater turtles and these algae are dominated by a few species with varying geographic distributions. Compared to filamentous algae, little is known about the much ...
MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY OF ANTIMONY QUANTUM WELLS FOR PROBING TOPOLOGICAL SURFACE STATES
(2017)
A topoelectronic transition was predicted for an Sb quantum well (QW) as a function of QW thickness. Bulk Sb is a semimetal with a negative bandgap, with neither the conduction band minimum nor the valence band maximum at ...
NEW AND IMPROVED TECHNIQUES FOR CHARACTERIZING BRITTLE ROCK RESPONSE
(2017-12)
To improve the production from shale, stimulation technique such as hydraulic fracturing with proppants is essential. To maximize the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing, brittle intervals with the minimum creep deformation ...

Librarians and immersive learning : opportunities for collaboration using virtual reality
(2017)
Virtual reality (VR) platforms provide exciting opportunities for students to interact with educational content in new ways. At the University of Oklahoma Libraries, students and faculty leverage VR and 3D technology to ...
REACTANCE THEORY AND SELF-CONSTRUAL IN THE EAST AND WEST
(2017-05-12)
Using psychological reactance theory (Brehm, 1966) as an explanatory framework, this dissertation experimentally tests the effects of appeal type, restoration type, and self-construal on freedom threat perceptions, reactance ...
SIMULTANEOUS ASSIMILATION OF RADAR AND SATELLITE DATA FOR CONVECTIVE SCALE NWP USING HYBRID ENSEMBLE VARIATIONAL DATA ASSIMILATION APPROACH
(2017)
Recently, an ensemble of the three-dimensional variational data assimilation (En3DA) system has been developed based on Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) three-dimensional variational (3DVar) data assimilation ...
