Experimental investigation and simulation of a fluidized-bed gasifier using switchgrass
(2013-12)
The overall goal of this research was to improve and optimize yield and composition of syngas generated from biomass gasification using an autothermal lab-scale fluidized-bed gasifier, and to develop a biomass gasification ...
Metamaterial radiation from attenuated total reflection at terahertz frequencies
(2013-12)
The focus of this research was to explore the behavior of two-dimensional planar metamaterials or metafilms and understand the various excitation schemes for application of metafilms to Terahertz-Attenuated Total Reflection ...

(2013-12)
Racial stereotypes were a prominent issue in the media's coverage of American Indians throughout the twentieth century. In this study, it is football, both collegiate and professional, that the media used to base their ...
2D Boussinesq equations with logarithmically super-critical conditions
(2013-07)
This thesis focuses on the regularity problem of two generalized two dimensional Boussinesq equations. The first model contains the critical level of diffusion and a double logarithmically super-critical velocity. The ...
Mechanisms of equine insulin resistance
(2013-05)
Equine metabolic syndrome, a condition characterized by obesity, insulin resistance (IR) or hyperinsulinemia, and laminitis is a common endocrine disorder of horses. The mechanisms responsible for the development of equine ...
Tracking and hands motion detection approach for monitoring hand-hygiene compliance for food handling and processing industry
(2013-07)
Hand-hygiene is a very critical issue for both food handling and processing industry and health care service providers. Poor hand-hygiene practice can easily lead to foodborne illness or large scale decease transmission. ...
Evaluating the response of teff [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] and hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to yield limiting factors in Oklahoma
(2013-07)
Scope and Method: Weather conditions such as temperature and precipitation are the most important crop growth limiting factors in Oklahoma. Less precipitation is available for crop growth during the summer months due to ...
Removal of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol using algaecides and chemicals in potable water
(2013-07)
Common taste and odor compounds in drinking water include 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and trans-1,10-dimethyl-trans-9-decalol (geosmin). These compounds are difficult to remove through conventional water treatment. Thus, ...
