Three Essays Unpacking the Role of Cross-Cultural Experience on Entrepreneurship
(2019)This dissertation comprises three essays probing the underlying mechanisms in the relationship between cross-cultural experience and entrepreneurship. Decades of research across multiple disciplines have provided evidence ... -
"The Three Hermits": Study of an opera by Stephen H. Paulus.
(2003)Stephen Harrison Paulus is one of today's leading American composers. A versatile and prolific composer of many genres, Paulus finds himself equally at home with works ranging from orchestral music to art songs. His current ... -
Three Papers in Applied Macro Policy
(2015-05-08)The purpose of any applied macroeconomics study should be to provide actionable information to world governments on policy questions. This dissertation addresses two policies: the first chapter addressed the effects of a ... -
Three-Dimensional Bone Tissue Engineering Strategies Using Polymeric Scaffolds
(2013)Bone tissue engineering has emerged due to a lack in effective and convenient bone graft alternatives to treat skeletal defects. This has lead to research into materials and methods with the goal of producing viable bone ... -
Three-Dimensional FEM Modeling of Geothermal Reservoir Stimulation Using Stochastic Fracture Networks and Continuum Damage Mechanics
(2014-08)Unconventional reservoirs are gaining more and more attention in recently years. Pore pressure and temperature variations in unconventional reservoirs during stimulation are of great importance in reservoir exploration and ... -
Three-dimensional finite element modeling of two-phase fluid flow in deformable naturally fractured reservoirs.
(1998)The developed theoretical formulation and numerical model are validated against several cases where the analytical solutions or other model results are readily available. The performance of the numerical code is tested ... -
Three-dimensional fully coupled geomechanical modeling of the response of Oklahoma faults to saltwater disposal
(2021-08-05)In the last decade, parts of the Central United States experienced marked increase in the number of small to moderate-sized earthquakes. Among all states, Oklahoma has experi-enced the most increase in the number of ... -
Three-dimensional fully coupled thermoporomechanical modelling of fractured reservoir rock
(2019-05-10)The coupled behaviors of fluid flow, heat transport and geomechanics in fractured porous media are studied. Emphasis is placed on the coupled hydro-mechanical processes involved in hydraulic fracture propagation, thermal ... -
THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING OF HYDRAULIC AND NATURAL FRACTURE INTERACTIONS AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN RESERVOIR STIMULATION
(2020)The ultralow permeability of the unconventional and geothermal reservoirs can be increased for economic production by hydraulic fracturing. Natural fractures and other discontinuities are inseparable elements of unconventional ... -
Three-Dimensional Pedagogical Content Knowledge: Understanding Science Learning in the Next Generation of Science Education
(2018-08-02)This study focused on examining the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of teachers focused on transitioning to phenomena-driven, three-dimensional Learning as outlined in A Framework for K-12 Science Education (NRC, 2012) ... -
THROUGH THE LENS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE THEORY: A CASE STUDY OF TEACHERS' RESPONSES TO STUDENTS' CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS
(2011)The aims of social justice in education are defined and procedurally mandated in tenets of special education law. The history of special education services is replete with examples of underrepresentation and overrepresentation ... -
Through which channel, with what effect :
(2002)Researchers have long studied the effects of media messages on individuals. The emergence of a new medium, the Internet, demands that we make closer study of the effects from exposure to messages through this channel. This ... -
Tighter peak-to-peak performance bounds for piecewise linear systems with application to a class of semi-active control problems.
(2002)The second major contribution is the development of a special method for determining the reachable sets for unit peak inputs associated with the six control cases of the 3-D semi-active control system. The tight bounds are ... -
TIME BANIDTRY: VALIDATION OF A MEASURE OF COUNTERPRODUCTIVE WORK BEHAVIOR
(2009)A measure of time banditry, a type of counterproductive work behavior, was administered to undergraduate students to establish the validity of the measure. A confirmatory factor analysis failed to corroborate the previous ... -
Time dependent radiative transfer: Application on core collapse SNe and cosmic recombination
(2010)I have conducted my PhD dissertation research at the department of Physics and As-
