SINGLE CELL METABOLOMICS USING MASS SPECTROMETRY: DEVICES, METHODS AND APPLICATIONS
(2019-05-10)
Cells are basic functional components of eukaryotic organisms containing rich biological and physiological information. To investigate the nature of cells, a variety of fundamental and mechanistic studies of the cell ...
Machine learning applications for geoscience problems
(2019-12)
Geoscientists have used machine learning for at least three decades and the applications spam many fields, from seismic processing and interpretation, to remote sensing classification, to analysis of well log data, among ...
ADOPTING AND RESISTING EVIDENCE-BASED CALLS FOR CHANGE: DISCURSIVE RESOURCES IN ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSES TO INSTITUTIONAL PRESSURES
(2019-05-10)
Institutional forces often pressure organizations to conform and behave in similar manners even when those actions go against an organization’s best interests. One particular U.S. football organization, known as the team ...
MODELLING AND VERIFICATION OF THERMOACOUSTIC MEDICAL IMAGING FROM NANOSCOPIC TO MACROSCOPIC RESOLUTIONS
(2019-12-13)
In this thesis, three main questions regarding the potential of thermoacoustic imaging are answered: 1) what are the conventional resolution limitations of photoacoustic imaging and how can they be extended to enable ...
ASSESSMENT OF ONE-MOMENT AND TWO-MOMENT BULK MICROPHYSICS AND SPECTRAL BIN MICROPHYSICS SCHEMES USING IDEALIZED SUPERCELL SIMULATIONS AND REAL DATA CONVECTIVE-SCALE PREDICTIONS
(2019-05)
Optimal hydrometeor parameterization and their associated processes in microphysics schemes (both spectral bin and bulk) continue to evolve as these schemes attempt to match observed hydrometeor complexity. This dissertation ...
SEEING IS BELIEVING: A VISUAL SOURCE CREDIBILITY PERSPECTIVE OF CROWDFUNDING PERFORMANCE
(2019)
Crowdfunding campaigns increasingly utilize visual media in their funding appeals to potential backers. Prior research shows that inclusion of visual media positively relates to successful funding outcomes, yet what specific ...
Analysis of the Dynamics and Microphysics of a Wet Downburst Case Using Dual-Polarization Radar Data
(2019-05-10)
A significant, wet downburst affected Norman, Oklahoma, on 14 June 2011. Surface winds in excess of 35 m/s (>80 mph) and hailstones in excess of 4 cm diameter occurred during the downburst. The polarimetric S-band (~11.09-cm ...
