Negotiating "Indian-ness": Transnational identities of Indians in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area
(2016-12)
Historically, research on immigrants in the U.S. has relied heavily on interpreting various ways in which they socially and spatially assimilate into urban areas. Since the September 11 attacks, this research has begun to ...
Sampling the stream landscape: Factors influencing detection and distribution of stream fishes
(2016-12)
Stream fishes are among the most threatened species due to natural flow regime alterations and fragmented habitats stemming from both anthropogenic activities and climate change. A fundamental challenge of establishing ...
Synthesis and applications of tungsten and vanadium oxides/oxyhydroxides in both bulk and nanoparticulate forms
(2016-12)
The reactions of tungstic acid towards alkenes, alkynes, and nitriles were explored in order to determine the scope of its reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons. The chemistry was found to be complex with small changes ...
Meaning of the right of petition: Northern opinion and the antislavery Gag Rule, 1836-1844
(2016-07)
In the 1830s, a national movement against slavery organized in the United States. One of the actions taken by slavery opponents was to petition Congress, most commonly for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. ...
Responses of vascular cells to shear stress and diabetes-associated metabolic dysfunction
(2016-12)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 30% of all deaths. Coronary artery disease (CAD - narrowing of arteries), most common type of CVD, results in altered shear stress that ...
Estimating Symmetry/Asymmetry in the Human Torso: A Novel Computational Method
(2016-07-01)
Asymmetry in human body has largely been based on bilateral traits and/or subjective estimates, with potential usage in fields such as medicine, rehabilitation and apparel product design. In case of apparel, asymmetry in ...
Utilizing observations and ranks in kernel estimation
(2016-12)
For univariate i.i.d. samples, analyses are usually performed on observations themselves, or on the ranks of the observations when they are ordered. This is true in both the parametric and non-parametric setting. However, ...
Effects of concrete, virtual, and multimodal tangram manipulatives on second grade elementary students' mathematics achievement and development of spatial sense: A convergent parallel mixed methods study
(2016-05)
This convergent parallel mixed methods study sought to determine what effects, if any, the use of multimodal tangrams have on second grade students' mathematical achievement and the development of spatial sense, as compared ...
Production of aryl alcohol oxidase under growth-limited conditions using an Aspergillus nidulans cell factory
(2016-12)
Trickle bed reactors (TBRs) have potential to be used for enzyme production due to reduced energy demands and easier product recovery compared to traditional submerged fermentations. The ligninolytic consortium is a group ...
