Synaptic depression and its relation to behavioral habituation within anterior piriform cortex.
(2004)
The onset, time course, and extent of LOT synaptic depression during both in vitro electrical and in vivo odorant stimulation methods were similar. Similar to the odor specificity of cortical odor adaptation in vivo, there ...
A practicing engineer's perspective on nonlinear finite element analysis techniques for reinforced concrete structures.
(2004)
The research demonstrates the continued progress in finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures. Increasingly, structural engineers will use this method in their designs, and in research into materials and systems.

(2004)
This dissertation tells the story of the oil industry's westward migration from Pennsylvania to the Southern Plains states of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas and how different environments in these regions influenced prospectors' ...
Effects of process parameters and mold design on resin transfer molded composites.
(2004)
The effects of flow rate and post-fill cure pressure, i.e., packing pressure, on the mechanical properties of resin transfer molded disks are experimentally investigated. Disks are molded at different flow rates and packing ...

A cost-benefit analysis of the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education.
(2004)
As educational policy-makers attempt to allocate scarce resources among competing educational options they face the problem of a lack of quality quantitative research to assist in the process. The purpose of this study was ...
Intraseasonal variability of the North American monsoon over Arizona.
(2004)
Another aspect of intraseasonal variability is the daily persistence of regimes. DR is the most persistent regime, followed by CEMR, NDR, EMR, and CEMSR. Occasionally, sharp changes in storm coverage precede or follow a ...
