(2014-07)
This qualitative study was designed to explore the dropout phenomenon through marginalized adolescents' retrospective perceptions and experiences of care and belonging, power and privilege within the traditional high school ...
Exploration of mathematics graduate teaching assistants' teaching philosophies: A case study
(2014-08)
This multi-case study is an exploration of mathematics graduate teaching assistants' teaching philosophies. It focused on the cases of four purposefully selected beginning mathematics graduate teaching assistants (MGTAs) ...
Steep Spatial Chemical Gradients in Shallow Groundwater Contaminated with Nitrate at a Residential Site
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
Shallow groundwater at a residential property in north-central Oklahoma was assessed to determine the extent of NO3- contamination and the effect of nitrate attenuation on groundwater chemistry. We hypothesized that ...
Carbonate Evolution of Groundwater Contaminated by Highly Saline Produced Water and Hydrocarbons
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
The physical properties and the major ionic concentration and stable carbon isotope composition ( δ13CDIC) of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) was measured in groundwater at an abandoned oil production site near Lake ...
Concussion Knowledge and Reporting Behaviors in Collegiate Athletes
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
Current concussion education programs are designed to increase knowledge of concussion, signs and symptoms, potential dangers, and return to play guidelines. However, increasing knowledge may not be sufficient to change ...
Experimental Investigations and Design Tool Development for Surface Water Heat Pump Systems
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
This study reports on experiments which were performed on spiral-helical surface water heat exchangers. These heat exchangers, when used as part of a geothermal heat pump system, serve as an alternative means whereby the ...
Teacher perceptions of collective faculty trust in charter schools and traditional public schools
(2014-05)
Research dedicated to understanding the effects of charter schools on student outcomes has yielded mixed results. Some findings indicate increased levels of student achievement in charter schools as compared with traditional ...
Beyond High Quality Habitat Corridors: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Realistic Alternatives
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
Increasing connectivity between habitat patches remaining from anthropogenic land conversion is known to mitigate the effects of habitat fragmentation. This is often implemented through corridors, linear strips of habitat ...
Lidar-based Fracture Characterization: an Outcrop-scale Study of the Woodford Shale, Mcalister Shale Pit, Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)
The use of lidar (light detection and ranging), a remote sensing tool based on principles of laser optometry, in mapping complex, multi-scale fracture networks had not been rigorously tested prior to this study despite its ...
AFLP genetic variation, inbreds development, and QTL localization for plant height in lowland switchgrass
(2014-12)
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has gained wider attention due to its recognition as a model herbaceous crop species for bioenergy production. The objectives of this research were to analyze genetic variation among and ...
