Alternative funding strategies and resources for the development of undergraduate insurance and risk management programs: Exploring the efficacy of a theoretical model
(2014-12)
Due to funding diminishment from traditional sources, many insurance and risk management undergraduate degree programs have turned to alternative funding resources in order to survive. This qualitative multi-case study ...
Riparian Influence on Eastern Forest Songbirds at Their Western Range Limit
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-12-01)
The Cross Timbers is a transitional landscape between the eastern temperate deciduous forests and the grasslands of the Central Great Plains. Here many eastern forest birds reach the western edge of their breeding ranges. ...
Aggregate Assesment and Durability Evaluation of Optimized Graded Concrete in the State of Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
This research is a part of a larger project that emphasizes on creating a more scientific approach to designing concrete mixtures for concrete pavements that use less cement and more aggregate which is called optimized ...
Dynamics of Quasi 2d Co-rotating Vortex Merger
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
Merger of vortices is examined experimentally to compare the merger of slender parallel vortices generated coincidentally. It is known that like-sign vortices rotate around a common center of circulation and merger between ...
Old Right and its influence on the development of modern American conservatism
(2014-07)
In November of 1955, William F. Buckley published the first issue of National Review. His journal defined modern American conservatism as a mix of anti-Marxism, tradition, and a belief in limited government. These three ...
Development of Computational Analysis of Web Troughs and Wrinkles Due to Crown Rollers
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
A crown roller has a larger radius at the center than at the sides. A web in transit through a manufacturing process must be subjected to tension by driven rollers that also maintain web velocity. If the rollers supporting ...
Impact of Acidic Conditions and High Sulfate Concentrations on Mtbe Mass Transport and Mass Transfer in Gac
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-08-01)
Sodium persulfate (SP) oxidation regeneration of granular activated carbon (GAC) is a developing technology. During SP regeneration of GAC, aggressive oxidative conditions lead to high acidity and the accumulation of sodium ...
Study of Sensorless Controller for Direct Drive Wind Electric Conversion Systems
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
The direct drive machine used in wind turbine systems (WECS) is efficient due to absence of losses rotor losses and lower no load current. The goal of this study is to propose and develop a neuron-based controller to ...
Comparison of multiple antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus genomes and the genome structure of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica
(2014-05)
i. The aim of this study was to determine if methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains could be identified in the milk of dairy cattle in a Paso Del Norte region dairy. Using physiological and PCR-based ...
Effect of Switchgrass Maturity on Ethanol Production via Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)
Switchgrass has been selected as a substrate to produce ethanol. One method of producing ethanol from switchgrass is through pretreatment followed by saccharification and fermentation. The harvest date of switchgrass could ...
