(2016-08-12)
The influence of policy knowledge and public interest upon the policy making process is described in this dissertation. The manner in which major policy change takes place, particularly as legislators gain technical ...
Sensitivities of 1-km Forecasts of Tornadic Supercells to Microphysics Parameterizations, Assimilated Radar Data, and Assimilation Techniques
(2016-05-13)
The aim of this study is to examine the impact of using five different microphysics parameterization schemes, including single-, double-, and triple-moment microphysics, in an efficient high-resolution data assimilation ...
Deconstructing Authenticity in Three Urtext Editions of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, Op. 67: A Conductor's Guide to Variant Readings for Performance
(2016)
This document suggests a solution to the problem posed by the existence of three competing urtext editions of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, op. 67, by Clive Brown, Jonathan Del Mar, and Jens Dufner. The fact that a final ...
Ants in Flight: Reproduction, Dispersal and Predation of Ant Queens
(2016-05)
Flying animals, especially insects, are a prominent feature of most terrestrial environments and make up a majority of the world’s known species. The biomechanical demands of flight shape the biology of flying insects at ...
Galaxy Clusters Across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
(2016-12)
Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound objects in the Universe.
From radio to X-ray, we have observed these objects across the electromagnetic
spectrum. Formation theories suggest that clusters even emit ...
Novel, low-cost aluminum (hydr)oxide based materials for fluoride-impacted drinking-water: Batch and column studies
(2016-05)
Simple aluminum (hydr)oxides and layered double hydroxides were synthesized using common chemicals and equipment by varying synthesis temperature, concentrations of extra sulfate and citrate, and metal oxide amendments. ...
High-Fidelity and Perfect Reconstruction Techniques for Synthesizing Modulation Domain Filtered Images
(2016-12-16)
Biomimetic processing inspired by biological vision systems has long been a goal of the image processing research community, both to further understanding of what it means to perceive and interpret image content and to ...
HLD-NAC Based Solutions for Surfactant Flooding
(2016-04-05)
Established technologies like primary recovery methods using gas pressure and other natural forces in the reservoir, and secondary recovery by water flooding can only approximately recover one-third of the crude oil present ...
MEXICAN AMERICAN WOMEN, URBAN EDUCATIONAL LEADERS IN OKLAHOMA: A HERMENUETIC PHENOMENOLOGY
(2016-12)
This study investigates three Mexican American female school leaders in an urban school district in Oklahoma. To this end hermeneutic phenomenology was used to obtain, analyze and interpret rich descriptive data to explore ...
Carbon Nanotubes as Catalyst Supports in Biphasic Systems
(2016-05)
Carbon nanotubes are studied as catalyst supports in biphasic (oil and water)
systems. In the first part the relationships between a carbon nanotubes properties before
and after functionalization and the influence those ...
