Evaluation of Rolling-Type Isolation Systems for Seismic Hazard Mitigation
(2018-08)
Nonstructural components within mission-critical facilities such as hospitals and telecommunication facilities are vital to a community's resilience when subjected to a seismic event. Building contents like medical and ...
The Intersection of Wind Energy and Wildlife management: A Case Study of Prairie-Chickens and Wind Turbine Site Selection in Oklahoma
(2018-12)
The demand for alternatives to fossil fuels has increased over the past couple of years, so it is becoming increasingly important to find alternative energy sources. While wind energy represents one potential alternative ...
SEM INVESTIGATION OF THE FRACTURE NETWORK (STIMULATED RESERVOIR VOLUME) INDUCED BY HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
(2018)
Tight formations often have an ultra-low permeability that prohibits fluid
migration from the reservoir. To counter this issue, large fracture networks are created to
connect pore space and increase permeability. The ...
Incorporating Grillage Model Derived Load Distribution Factors Into Ratings of Prestressed Concrete Bridges
(2018-05)
Characterization and evaluation of bridges is a laborious task. A large number of bridges in Oklahoma are potentially deficient for shear due to differences between the current codes and those used to design the bridges. ...
A Semi-Continuous System for Monitoring Microbially Influenced Corrosion
(2018)
Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC), also known as biocorrosion, has significant impacts on the environment and economy. Typical systems to study biocorrosion are either dynamic (once-through flow) or static (serum ...
DATA SHARING FOR TASK EFFICIENCY DURING A FOREIGN HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE/DISASTER RELIEF EFFORT
(2018-12-14)
This paper adapts Zigurs & Buckland’s (1998) Task Technology Fit theoretical framework for application to a virtual organization that exists for episodically during foreign humanitarian assistance/disaster relief efforts. ...
Modern Day Warriors: An Exploration of Indigenous Male Graduates
(2018-05-11)
Abstract
This study explores successful experiences of Indigenous males who earned a master’s or professional degree from non-native institutions. Research on this population in relation to persistence and success is ...
UAV-Based In Situ Antenna Characterization: Analysis and Design Requirements
(2018-05-11)
This thesis proposes to characterize antennas in situ with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), especially within the framework of weather radar and 5th generation wireless systems (5G) antennas. Specifically, it is concerned ...
Physiological Responses to a Single Bout of Resistance Exercise Between Men and Women
(2018-05-11)
It has been shown that blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise provides similar physiological muscular adaptations to traditional high intensity resistance exercise; however, there is still ambiguity about whether males and ...
RURAL SCHOOL TEACHERS, NEED SUPPORT, AND WILLINGNESS TO STAY IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
(2018-05-08)
This study aims to understand the extent of perceived need-support (autonomy-support, competence-support, relatedness-support) of novice teachers in rural schools and whether need-support is related to a novice teacher’s ...
