Investigation of Computational Problem Area Detection on Earthen Spillways Across Varying Image Resolutions
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)
This thesis work investigates the ability of segmentation algorithms to segment vegetal problem areas in aerial images of earthen spillways. Four different segmentation algorithms were applied to aerial images of spillways ...
Development of Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry (Lc-ms/Ms) Methods for Exploration of Currency Contamination with Controlled Substances
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)
The purpose of this research was to develop and validate a method for the quantitation of controlled substances on currency using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The LC-MS/MS instrument was ...
Effects of regulatory changes on market integration: A cointegration analysis of information shares
(2010-12)
There is an extensive body of literature on the information share of markets particularly when a single asset or identical assets are traded in several markets. Most of these studies focus on the price discovery process ...
Design of a High Gravity Distillation Unit for On-farm Ethanol Dewatering
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-12-01)
High gravity (Higee) distillation refers to separation of components in a rotating packed bed type contacting device. Rotating packed beds utilize centrifugal force to create artificial gravity up to 200 times greater in ...
