The ATM approach ("ask 'em, tell 'em, make 'em"): Compliance-seeking at the security checkpoints of a federal government site.
(2003)
Recent terrorist attacks in the United States have increased public concern with security screeners, yet research does not exist of communication at security checkpoints. The goals of this study are: (1) to initiate social ...
FUNDAMENTAL HYDRAULIC FRACTURING CONCEPTS FOR POORLY CONSOLIDATED FORMATIONS
(2012)
This dissertation examines -by means of the discrete element method- the mechanisms that govern hydraulic fracturing in poorly consolidated formations. The motivation to take on this project was the widely reported ...
PHYSICAL TOPOLOGY DESIGN AND ROUTING ALGORITHMS FOR DEGREE-CONSTRAINED FSO MESH NETWORKS
(2008)
Free-space optical (FSO) mesh networks are emerging as broadband communication networks because of their high bandwidth (up to Gbps), low cost, and easy installation. However, there are two existing problems in the deployment ...
Women and the avant-garde: Sexual difference in discourse and art, 1900--1950.
(2002)
This study seeks to understand the critical influences shaping the literary and artistic exchanges between women and the modernist avant-garde. It analyzes texts disclosing expressions of gender and sexual difference ...
Theatrical Intervention as a Pathway to Moral Virtue Development
(2015-03-13)
Moral virtue development is grounded in social relationships that foster the socioemotional intelligence underlying moral virtue. Recent research shows a decrease in socioemotional intelligence with implications for moral ...
Split ends (spen), A TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATOR, INHIBITS MYOSIN ACTIVITY TO REGULATE NEURONAL REMODELING DURING METAMORPHOSIS
(2011)
Animal neurons dynamically change their morphologies in response to steroid hormone signaling to adapt to changing environments. The molecular mechanisms underlying animal neuronal remodeling, however, remain largely ...
USING A LOW-ORDER MODEL TO DETECT AND CHARACTERIZE INTENSE VORTICES IN MULTIPLE-DOPPLER RADAR DATA
(2010)
A new multiple-Doppler radar analysis technique is presented for the objective detection and characterization of intense vortices. The technique consists of fitting radial wind data from two or more radars to a simple ...
Red Dirt Resilience: Enduring Narratives of Oklahoma Environmental Activism
(2016-05-13)
This thesis explores the relationship between dominant narratives of Oklahoma identity and counter-narratives of Oklahoma identity. I consider how the dominant narrative of Oklahoma identity is constructed in relationship ...
Evaluation of Network Mobility Schemes for Terrestrial and Satellite Networks
(2012)
NEtwork MObility (NEMO) supports the mobility of multiple Internet-connected devices. However, NEMO Basic Support Protocol suffers from unoptimized route leading to large latency in communication and header overhead. To ...
Multiscale Dispersion Characterization and Breakdown of Nanoclay Clusters during Molding
(2005)
Thermo-mechanical properties of polymers can be significantly altered by the addition of nano-scale particulates such as carbon nanotubes and nanofibers. Among the nano-scale particulates, inclusion of nanoclay is proven ...
