Observation of the triboson process pp → W±W∓γ and limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings with the ATLAS detector
(2023-05-12)This thesis presents a search for evidence of $W^\pm W^\mp \gamma$ production from $p-p$ scattering with $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider using 140 fb$^-1$ of integrated luminosity. The case where the $W$ ... -
Observational and model analyses of the Oklahoma City urban heat island
(2014-05-09)To date, much of the current understanding of the impacts of urban areas on atmospheric processes results from a number of field programs. Between 28 June and 31 July 2003, a vast array of instrument systems collected ... -
OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF RAIN MICROPHYSICS AND RAIN RETRIEVAL USING POLARIMETRIC RADAR DATA
(2009)Accurate quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) and quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPF) require accurate microphysical parameterization/modeling of the precipitation. This study presents the modeling of rain ... -
Observations and Simulations of Moisture Changes Occurring Around Sunset at the ARM Climate Research Facility
(2018-05-11)Each summer, the U.S. Southern Great Plains (SGP) hosts a variety of ingredients (e.g. moisture, shear, instability, and lift) critical to understanding the life-cycle of deep, moist convection. Past studies have primarily ... -
Observations and Simulations of Polarimetric, X-Band Radar Signatures in Supercells
(2013)Polarimetric weather radars, with the additional information collected, allow one to infer scatterer and precipitation properties considerably more easily than single-polarization radars. Given the relationship between the ... -
Observations of Evolving Lightning, Microphysics, and Kinematics for a Supercell, a Multicell, and a Mesoscale Convective System
(2019)The Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field experiment collected data on a variety of storms to investigate the relationships between lightning and other storm processes. This study focuses on the relationships ... -

OBSERVATIONS OF PRACTICE CHARACTERISTICS OF UNDERGRADUATE CLARINET STUDENTS IN PRACTICE SESSIONS AND PRECEDING APPLIED LESSONS
(2010)This study observed practice characteristics demonstrated in the practice sessions of sixteen undergraduate clarinetists, and examined the relationship between those characteristics and the activities each student experienced ... -

OBSERVATIONS OF SUPERCELL TORNADO EVOLUTION USING A MOBILE, RAPID-SCAN, X-BAND RADAR
(2013)On 24 May 2011, a series of supercell thunderstorms and violent tornadoes tore through central Oklahoma. A mobile, rapid-scan, X-band, polarimetric, Doppler radar (RaXPol), collected data from one of those storms as it ... -
Observations of x-rays produced by strong electric fields in thunderstorms.
(1997)A balloon-borne x-ray spectrometer was developed to fly on free balloons into thunderstorms in order to test hypotheses that strong electric-fields could accelerate cosmic-ray secondary electrons and produce bremsstrahlung ... -
Observations on the empirical capital asset pricing model in estimating a public utility's cost of equity capital.
(1998)The literature of the Capital Asset Pricing Model describes a fundamental bias in its empirical application. The most notable problem is that the Empirical Capital Asset Pricing Model produces betas which overestimate the ... -

Octet in E-flat major, op. 20 by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847): a transcription for double wind quintet
(2022-08-04)Felix Mendelssohn’s Octet in E-flat Major, Op. 20 is widely considered to be a canonic work within chamber string repertoire. Composed when Mendelssohn was just sixteen years old, the Octet was described as “a different ... -
Of birds, guano, and man: William Vogt's "Road to Survival".
(2005)William Vogt's best-selling and influential neo-Malthusian text Road to Survival articulated the conservation sensibility of his day and was literally read around the world. Vogt (1902--1968) came to his conclusions about ...
