Conformally invariant systems of differential operators associated to two-step nilpotent maximal parabolics of non-Heisenberg type
(2012-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The main work of this thesis concerns systems of differential operators that are equivariant under an action of a Lie algebra. We call such systems conformally invariant. The main goal of this ...
Treatment of Taste and Odor Compounds in Oklahoma Surface Water
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-12-01)
Taste and odor problems in drinking water have been addressed more and more by water utilities around the world. Consumer complaints must be considered by most drinking water treatment plants. A number of studies investigated ...
High school dropouts in Belize: A grid and group explanation
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this qualitative study was to use grid and group theory to investigate and explain the factors that led to selected students' to dropout of two southern high schools in Belize. The ...
Comparative Study of Water Quality Constituents and Physical Parameters in Skiatook Lake for 1993, 2003, and 2004
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)
Skiatook Lake, located in Osage County, Oklahoma, was impounded in 1984. Its main purposes were to provide water supply, flood control, and fish and wildlife habitat. It also provides for many recreational activities for ...
Chloride control and irrigation management: A GIS integrated approach to economic feasibility for cotton
(2012-12)
This study estimates the net agricultural benefits of preventing nearly 500 tons of salt per day, sufficient to preclude irrigation or potable water use, from entering the Elm Fork of the Red River near the Texas border ...
Complex syntax and withdrawn behavior in children
(2012-05)
Scope and Method of Study: This study investigated the relation between language impaired (LI) children's production of complex syntactic structures in conversational speech and parental ratings of children's social ...
Charge carrier and phonon transport in nanostructured thermoelectrics
(2012-12)
There is currently no quantum mechanical transport model for charge (or phonon) transport in multiphase nano-crystalline structures. Due to absence of periodicity, one cannot apply any of the elegant theorems, such as ...
Spark Plasma Sintering of Titanium Aluminide Intermetallics and Its Composites
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)
Titanium aluminide intermetallics are a distinct class of engineering materials having unique properties over conventional titanium alloys. γ-TiAl compound possesses competitive physical and mechanical properties at ...
Utilization and production of single activity enzymes from Aspergillus nidulans
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The first objective was to determine the synergistic effects of enzyme mixtures for maximum enzymatic hydrolysis of grain sorghum stover untreated and pretreated with liquid hot water pretreatment. ...
Design of Steel Splice Repair for Decaying Timber Piles on Oklahoma County Bridges
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-12-01)
The purpose of this project was to identify recurring structural issues on off-system bridges and design an inexpensive, simple repair to resolve the problem. After communicating with multiple sources, it was disclosed ...
