Oil Retention and Its Effects on Pressure Drop and Heat Transfer in Microchannel Evaporators of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Systems
(2015-12-01)
In Air-conditioning and Refrigeration systems, a small portion of the compressor oil circulates with the refrigerant through the cycle components. The oil circulating with the refrigerant flow retains in heat exchangers ...
Pavement hydroplaning risk evaluation with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and 1mm 3D texture data
(2015-07)
During wet weather automobiles traveling on pavements may experience hydroplaning that would cause out-of-control accidents. Annually 14% of all accidents with fatalities occur on wet pavements. However, not many studies ...
Can Performance Predictions Improve Prospective Memory and Does Type of Prediction Matter?
(2015-12-01)
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the extent to which memory beliefs (as indexed by performance predictions) affected prospective memory (PM) performance on tasks that had different retrieval processing ...
External agency: Redefinition of ex ante value in agency relationships
(2015-05)
In this dissertation, in response to mixed empirical findings and theoretical criticism of Agency Theory, I raise a broader question: are there agency behaviors that are not considered within traditional renderings of ...
Assessment of multiple measures of honey bee (Apis mellifera ligustica) and horse (Equus ferus caballus) responding on fixed interval schedules: An individual versus aggregate analysis
(2015-05)
We compared different measures of temporal control of two species' responding when reinforced on fixed interval schedules of reinforcement. The measures that were evaluated are: cumulative response curves, response bin ...
Finding Value in Grape Pomace
(Oklahoma State University, 2015-05-01)
The production of grapes is increasing all around the world. A 7% annual increase in wine grape production, and the waste products associated with wine processing, occurred in 2013 in the US. Pomace is a predominant waste ...
Novel system of pavement cracking detection algorithms using 1mm 3D surface data
(2015-12)
Pavement cracking is one of the major concerns for pavement design and management. There have been rapid developments of automated pavement cracking detection in recent years. However, none of them has been widely accepted ...
Asssessment of Sod Handling Quality and Tensile Strength of Thirty-nine Turf Bermudagrasses
(2015-12-01)
Turfgrass sod is a pad of grass with its intermingled shoots, rhizomes and roots as well as adhering soil. To be successfully used as a sod crop, a turfgrass must have a suitable production cycle and sod handling/transport ...
Monitoring Eastern Oklahoma Lake Water Quality Using Landsat
(2015-05-01)
The monitoring of public waters for recreational, industrial, agricultural, and drinking purposes is a difficult task assigned to many state water agencies. The Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) is only physically ...
Design and Development of a Severe Storm Research UAS
(2015-05-01)
A small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS) was designed and developed to be utilized for meteorological data collection, specifically information useful for severe storm and tornado prediction. The system will operate prior ...
