Analytical modeling of conductivity chemographs of Byrds Mill Spring
(2020-12)
Rhythmic springs occur when a groundwater flowpath that supplies a spring's discharge form a hydraulic siphon. The hydraulic siphon brings the spring varying fluxes of water that cycle over time. If these flows are only ...
Characterization of the impulsive jet produced from a dolphin's blowhole
(2020-12)
The health of bottlenose dolphins can be monitored by marine biologists through the analysis of their exhaled breath. Unique concepts to capture this breath in the wild include flying an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) through ...
Extension and implementation of the mod without mod algorithm to efficiently compute the modulus of a number in hardware
(2020-12)
This thesis discusses a hardware implementation of modulo that does not require a multiplication. This implementation is based on the algorithm proposed in Mark A. Will's "Mod without mod" in which the an algorithm is ...
Effects of grazing management and targeted anthelmintic administration on the performance, parasite burden, and hematologic profiles of hair sheep
(2020-12)
The objective of this experiment was to determine if extensively managed rotational grazing would impact the performance, fecal egg counts, and hematologic profiles of hair sheep ewes and lambs. Crossbreed hair sheep ewes ...
Evaluation of the color compounds present in Rubaiyat wine as function of skin contact time during fermentation
(2020-07)
This research evaluated a hybrid grape originating from Oklahoma State University to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the wine it produced and its viability as a coloring agent in commercial winemaking. ...
Augmented Invariant-EKF designs for simultaneous state and disturbance estimation
(2020-07)
In this thesis, we study Invariant-EKF designs for invariant systems with disturbances. We identify two sets of sufficient conditions that preserve the invariance of systems when additive dynamic disturbances are applied. ...
Effect of a transitional diet on stocker heifers grazing wheat pasture
(2020-05)
Cattle on wheat pasture require an acclimation period before significant body weight gains occur. Weight loss is often observed during the adaptation period. The effect of energy supplementation while grazing wheat has ...
Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) population dynamics at Sooner Lake, OK
(2020-07)
Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are native to Europe and were first reported in North America in the late 1980s at Lake St. Clair in Michigan. They negatively impact ecosystems, recreation, and facilities that use ...
Extremely meaningful lived events linking to survivorship
(2020-07)
The purpose of this study was to examine extremely meaningful lived events recalled by centenarians. Data for this study originated from N = 111 centenarians (n = 43 men; n = 68 women) who participated in Oklahoma 100-year ...
Mudstone characterization at a world-class CO2 storage site: Kemper County Energy Facility, Kemper County, Mississippi
(2020-12)
The Cretaceous and Tertiary deposits in Alabama, Mississippi, and the adjacent continental shelf constitutes a widespread succession of sandstone and shale that have proven to be an important target for geologic CO2 storage ...
