MULTI-SCALE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE WOODFORD SHALE IN WEST-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA: FROM SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE TO 3D SEISMIC
(2012)This dissertation focuses on the characterization of unconventional resource-shales for resource evaluation using the Woodford Shale as a primary example for this study. The limited understanding of the actual rock properties ... -
Multi-scale effects of habitat alteration on stream fishes: from genotypes to communities
(2011)Understanding how evolutionary and ecological processes interact with altered habitats at these various scales will be a major challenge to conservation biologists in the coming decades, and will be crucial for predicting ... -

MULTI-SCALE HYBRID DATA-DRIVEN FRAMEWORK FOR ELECTRIC ENERGY FLOW: TRANSIENT ANALYSIS AND RESILIENCY SOLUTION FOR NEXT-GENERATION POWER GRID
(2024-08-01)Illustrating by compelling case studies, this study discusses the challenges to the design of resilient power grid with inverter-based renewable energy resources posed by curses of dimensionality and heterogeneity in the ... -
MULTI-SCALE REMOTE SENSING OF OPEN SURFACE WATER BODY AREA AND QUALITY
(2019-05-10)Water is one of the most important resources for life. Climate change and climate variability have caused dramatic variations and significant trends in surface water resources, while global population growth and increased ... -
Multi-valued LSI/VLSI logic design /
(1983)The procedures and methods presented in this dissertation are completely general, systematic, and easy to apply to any m-valued (m (GREATERTHEQ) 2) combinational and sequential LSI/VLSI design. -
Multicomponent molecular diffusion in liquid systems /
(The University of Oklahoma., 1971) -
Multicriteria plant layout with evaluation by simulation.
(1997)Another significant contribution of this research is that the layouts generated from this procedure are quickly incorporated into a simulation model which is used for evaluating layouts. Simulation offers a rich evaluation ... -
A multidimensional approach to test item selection in a practical color vision test.
(2002)Previous research evaluated the color vision requirements and perceptual factors related to interpretation of color-coded weather radar information and resulted in an 80-item developmental test. The objective was to use ... -
Multidimensional effects of brief institution-focused behavioral training and related correctional staff feedback on reformatory inmates /
(The University of Oklahoma., 1974) -
Multidimensional fit: A theory and a test of the influence of realistic job previews and pre-hire fit.
(2003)Organizational scholars have long debated the exact nature of the construct of fit. Researchers have identified at least four dimensions of fit (P-V Fit, P-J Fit, P-O Fit, and P-P Fit), and these dimensions of fit tend to ... -
Multidimensional Functioning in Children with Prenatal Methamphetamine Exposure
(2010)Methamphetamine is one of the most neurotoxic and addictive drugs of abuse. While prenatal exposure to all illicit drugs is considered detrimental, it might be argued that because of the polydrug nature of methamphetamine ... -
Multidimensional item response theory: A SAS MDIRT macro and empirical study of PIAT math test.
(2007)Even though unidimensional item response theory (IRT) provides a better framework for practical test settings than classical test theory (CTT), theoretical and empirical evidence shows that most response data violate the ... -
Multidisciplinary design optimization of a fighter aircraft with damage tolerance constraints and a probabilistic model of the fatigue environment.
(2001)Damage tolerance analysis (DTA) was considered in the global design optimization of an aircraft wing structure. Residual strength and fatigue life requirements, based on the damage tolerance philosophy, were investigated ... -
Multidisciplinary design optimization of aircraft wing structures with aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic constraints.
(1999)Design procedures for aircraft wing structures with control surfaces are presented using multidisciplinary design optimization. Several disciplines such as stress analysis, structural vibration, aerodynamics, and controls ... -
A Multifaceted Approach to Reptile Conservation from Taxonomy and Systematics to Microbial Ecology
(2022-08-04)Roughly one in five reptile species globally is threatened with extinction as of 2022. Further, nearly 15% of described reptile species are considered Data Deficient by the IUCN and their conservation status has not yet ... -
Multifactor valuation models of energy futures and options on futures.
(2003)The intent of this dissertation is to investigate continuous time pricing models for commodity derivative contracts that consider mean reversion. The motivation for pricing commodity futures and option on futures contracts ... -
Multilateral environmental agreements: The challenge of implementation.
(2006)This study looks at how Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) get implemented and once implemented, how they are monitored and achieve compliance. Implementation is looked at through the lens of historical ... -
Multilateral military intervention analysis in the post-Cold War era.
(2001)During the Cold War era, U.S. foreign policy goals concentrated on containing Soviet expansion. Containment was a simple, yet powerful, idea that provided a strategic vision of world politics in an essentially stable bipolar ...
