Population genetic structure and effective population size of the threeridge mussel (Amblema plicata) in southeast Oklahoma assessed using microsatellites.
(2017-07-17)
A myriad of anthropogenic factors have led to substantial declines in North America’s freshwater mussel populations over the last century. A greater understanding of mussel dispersal abilities, genetic structure, and ...
Strategic Narratives of Public Diplomacy and the Enactment of Soft Power: An Exploratory Study
(2017-08)
This dissertation investigated the formation, projection, and reception of strategic narratives with the purpose of exploring and explaining how and in what ways soft power can be enacted via strategic narratives. Specifically, ...
RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING OF THE DESMOINESIAN SERIES GRANITE WASH, BUFFALO WALLOW FIELD, ANADARKO BASIN, TEXAS
(2017)
The Desmoinesian Series Granite Wash at Buffalo Wallow Field represents deepwater
deposits including slumps, channels, and submarine fan lobes that consist of six major
lithofacies as mudstone, interbedded mudstone and ...
MACRONUTRIENTS SHAPE MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES, GENE EXPRESSION AND PROTEIN EVOLUTION
(2017-05-10)
Nutrient limitation of the principle macronutrients carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus are known to influence community structure, success of individual species, and over long enough time could, in theory, shape the evolution ...
Indoor Localization and Mapping Using Deep Learning Networks
(2017)
Over the past several decades, robots have been used extensively in environments that pose high risk to human operators and in jobs that are repetitive and monotonous. In recent years, robot autonomy has been exploited to ...
Environment and interspecific interactions at the margin of species ranges: a spatial analysis of forest communities
(2017-05-12)
Problem: Species’ geographic ranges are determined, in part, by suitable environmental conditions, the ability to reach sites possessing those environmental conditions, and the capability to survive interactions with other ...
HYBRID EN3DVAR RADAR DATA ASSIMILATION AND COMPARISONS WITH 3DVAR AND ENKF WITH OSSES AND A REAL CASE
(2017-12)
Studies have shown advantages of the hybrid ensemble-variational data assimilation (DA) algorithms over pure ensemble or variational algorithms, although such advantages at the convective scale, in the presence of complex ...
Evaluating the Use of Entropy Field Decomposition in Resting State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis
(2017)
The study of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data has been the subject of increasing academic interest over the past decade. Despite a growing understanding of the base activity networks ...
RADICAL REACTIONS: THE FIRST RED SCARE IN THE GREAT PLAINS AND THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDERLANDS, 1918-1920
(2017-05-12)
This dissertation will focus on the First Red Scare in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. The First Red Scare was a wave of mass panic and hysteria directed against suspected radicals, leftists, anarchist, and Communist ...
