Implementations of high performance architecture for IEEE 754 compliant floating-point adders
(2020-12)
This thesis presents a direct iteration and implementation on a high per-formance architecture for IEEE 754 floating-point addition. This thesis improves on the previous architecture's implementation in a variety of ...
Vibration analysis of PDC drill bits in hard rock
(2020-05)
Drilling related complications such as drillstring vibrations are a major cause of drilling inefficiency and failure. Studies are continually being conducted to understand drillstring vibrations and how to respond to the ...
Analyzing the effects of body size on frog swimming
(2021-07)
The scaling of traits with body size, along with the effects it has on performance and evolution, has long been studied in evolutionary biology and biomechanics. These effects can be observed in locomotion across many ...
Determination of cardiorespiratory fitness in metabolically healthy obesity and normal-weight obesity: A cross sectional study
(2021-12)
The true cardiometabolic risk of the body composition phenotypes normal-weight obesity (NWO) and metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) remains controversial. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), as measured by peak oxygen uptake ...
Structure-property relationships in 4D-printed liquid crystal elastomers
(2021-05)
Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) are active smart materials that exhibit reversible shape changes, or actuation, via the transition between the nematic or liquid crystal state and the isotropic state with the application ...
Identifying Oklahoma grape producers' knowledge of Pierce's disease
(2020-07)
In 2008, Pierce's disease was discovered in Oklahoma in a backyard garden. Limited research regarding Pierce's disease has been done to monitor the disease throughout the state. In 2008-2009 and in 2016-2017, two surveys ...
Determination of the quantity of earth’s gravity imparted on particles in a rotating cylinder fluid regime based on particle density and rotation speed
(2023-05)
This research is an in-depth analysis of the movement of yeast -like particles in a Rotating Wall Vessel (RWV) using a series of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations. The purpose of the RWV is to counteract the ...
Floating-point comparator with relu operator for machine learning enhancement
(2021-05)
This article provides various comparator designs that provide comparisons to double, single, half, and bfloat floating-point values as well as provide comparison modes for 32 and 64 bit two's compliment integer encoded ...
Parental responsibility: Stigmatization of parents based on child weight
(2021-12)
Qualitative evidence, judicial decisions, and media reports suggest that parents of children with obesity experience stigma on account of their children's weights. However, to the best of my knowledge, little empirical ...
Oklahoma primary students' perceptions of agriculture: A content analysis of Ag in the Classroom posters
(2021-05)
The Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom program was created nearly four decades ago to educate primary students about the importance of agriculture and how it impacts their daily life. They educate the public through teacher ...
