Real-world impacts of drone implementation in data collection of fatal accidents
(2022-12)
The objective of this study was to analyze the use of drones and data collected in fatal accident investigations in accident scenes in Austin, Texas. The study compares data pre and post drones being used by the police ...
Analyses of market power for us and international beef markets
(2022-07)
This dissertation expands the conventional NEIO model by imposing the theoretical restrictions and proposes a method for measuring the degree of rivalry in contested markets.
Intertemporal change in cost efficiency and its determinants using a base period approach: An evidence from Korean rice farms
(2022-07)
The objective of our study is to propose a procedure for intertemporal comparison of technical and cost efficiencies across years. The procedure measures the efficiency change while excluding the frontier shift effect using ...
Development of the metacognition for teaching inventory and exploration of P-12 teachers’ metacognition for teaching
(2022-12)
Twenty-first-century teachers enter the classroom amid ever-growing demands and increasingly complex learning environments. Because of this, it is critical that teachers develop the knowledge and skills needed to be effective ...
Evaluation of current American burying beetle (ABB), Nicrophorus americanus, trapping protocols and population estimation methods in Southeast Oklahoma
(2022-12)
Burying beetles in the genus Nicrophorus are carrion feeding beetles that display cooperative brood care behavior. Historically, the American Burying Beetle (ABB) (Olivier) (Coleoptera; Silphidae) was found across the ...

Relationship between differential intertwining operators on the indefinite orthogonal and unitary groups
(2022-05)
In this thesis, we will analyze degenerate principal series representations realized as smooth induced representations for the indefinite orthogonal and unitary groups G=SO_0(2p,2q) and H=U(p,q). We will induce from smooth ...
Development of in-field data acquisition systems and machine learning-based data processing and analysis approaches for turfgrass quality rating and peanut flower detection
(2022-07)
Digital image processing and machine vision techniques provide scientists with an objective measure of crop quality that adds to the validity of study results without burdening the evaluation process. This dissertation ...
