Automated writing evaluation for formative second language assessment: Exploring performance, teacher use, and student engagement
(2022-07)
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate automated writing evaluation (AWE) from both system- and user-centric perspectives. The system-centric research focused on error-correction/detection performance of the ...
Lessons learned from returning second year technical students: A case study
(2022-12)
This qualitative case study explored how a theory could explain how outside contributors could influence a student’s decision to return for the second and final year of their academic career program. Using Holland’s ...
Adaptive agricultural water resources management in a desert river basin: Insights from hydrologic modeling
(2020-12)
Many arid and semi-arid areas around the world are projected to experience increasing aridity levels throughout the 21st century. The increase in the frequency and severity of droughts and changing precipitation patterns ...
Advanced agronomic management practices for soybean production systems in Oklahoma

Friendships constitute important relationships, and often function to reduce stress, but have been understudied. While engaging in co-ruminations, close female friends are adrenocortically attuned. In mother-child dyads, ...
SB-QTVW: An alternate index to differentiate between healthy and acute ischemic/infarcted patients using vector magnitude derived QT variability
(2021-07)
Myocardial ischemia alters ventricular repolarization through a variety of mechanisms. Studies show that QTVI, an index of QT variability, is elevated during acute ischemia and cardiomyopathy. This indicates an increased ...
