Influence of Compaction and Quality Control on the Performance of GRS-IBS Bridge Abutments
(2020-05)GRS-IBS is a type of bridge abutment that has become more widespread in local and county roads across the United States due to its demonstrated advantages including expedited construction at reduced costs and prevention ... -
Influence of Interfacial Rheological Properties on the Stability of Pickering Foams
(2022-07)This work is aimed at gaining a fundamental understanding of the role of interfacial phenomena in foam stability. We have investigated the properties of Pickering foams, stabilized with fumed and spherical colloidal ... -
The Influence of Organic Metabolites Binding with Ferric Iron on Corrosion Mechanisms in Oil and Gas Production Water
(2018-05-11)Corrosion of carbon steel is a potential hazard to oil and gas production infrastructure. The total annual cost of corrosion in the oil and gas production industry is estimated to be $1.372 billion in the USA (Simons, ... -
INFLUENCE OF RETARDERS ON SHRINKAGE AND COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH IN RAPID SET CONCRETE
(2018-05-12)The purpose of this project is to study the influence and behavior of citric acid on calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) concrete and compare with industry standard retarders. A review of the available literature on calcium ... -
The Influence of Romantic Relationships, Employment, and Education on Desistance from Crime for Young Adults that are Former Serious Juvenile Offenders
(2016-05-13)Prior studies have determined that good marriages, employment, and education may decrease criminal offending for adult offenders. Much of the literature that addresses positive life events and desistance from crime has ... -
The Influence of the Preseason Training Phase on Endocrine Biomarkers and Neuromuscular Performance in Collegiate Basketball Players
(2022-05-13)Introduction: Elite athletes undergo vigorous training in the effort to initiate physiological responses that over time accumulate to cause positive adaptation, which result in improvements in physical performance. The ... -
The Influence of Urban Form and Vegetation on Near-Source Dispersion in a Realistic Urban Canopy
(2019-12)The atmospheric boundary layer controls many interactions within the troposphere from larger scale atmospheric features to land-atmospheric interactions. The urban boundary layer is the layer above an urban area that is ... -
Influences of the Aerosol Invigoration Effect on Radar Signatures of Deep Convection near Houston TX Using a Bulk Statistical Framework
(2023-08-04)Aerosol-deep convective cloud (DCC) interactions remain a frontier in the study of water cycles, energy budgets, climate models, and air quality, partly because it can be difficult to disentangle aerosol impacts from the ... -
Information content analysis of combined lidar-polarimeter retrievals to improve aerosol remote sensing accuracy
(2021)Aerosols are small particles suspended in the atmosphere which affect global climate change via scattering and absorbing sunlight and serving as cloud condensation nuclei. Moreover, the prevalence of some anthropogenic and ... -
Information Theoretic Modeling of Antennas
(2024-05-10)Linear time-invariant (LTI) electrically small antennas (ESAs) have inherent limitations in their capabilities. Two significant limitations apply to LTI antennas: a lower bound on the antenna Q-factor, which causes a narrow ... -
The Information-Seeking Behavior of Catholic Women Discerning a Vocation to Religious Life
(2016-05-13)Approximately 10% of Roman Catholic women will seriously discern a vocation to religious life during their lifetime (CARA, 2009). Spiritual discernment is often characterized by prayer and spiritual direction, but also ... -
Infrared Thermal Imaging-Based Thermal Diffusivity Measurement Using Angstrom Method
(2021-05-14)Characterizing the thermal diffusivity of materials is a vital step in the creation of new polymer nanocomposites. Determining the in-plane thermal diffusivity as compared to the through-plane thermal diffusivity may show ... -
Infrastructure damage due to earthquakes and flooding in the Little River Watershed: a HAZUS investigation
(2023-08-04)The Socially Sustainable Solutions for Water, Carbon, and Infrastructure Resilience in Oklahoma (S3OK) is a multidisciplinary research project to identify socially sustainable solutions to “wicked” problems within the State ... -
INJECTION EXPERIMENTS ON ROCKS UNDER TRIAXIAL CONDITION WITH ACOUSTIC EMISSION MONITORING
(2016-12)This work presents the results of a series of triaxial- injection experiments carried out on two basalt cores from the Newberry geothermal field well GEO-N2 and a Mississippi lime stone. A combination of triaxial and ... -
Innovation to Manage Crisis: A Study of Leadership Competencies Important for Both Crisis Management and Innovation
(2016-05)This study examines the correlation between leadership competencies found in organizations dealing with crisis and organizations known for their innovation. It is hypothesized that identifying leadership competencies that ... -
Insights Into the Paleoclimate of the Western Interior Seaway Through the Analysis of Palynomorphs and Petrified Wood from the Short Canyon Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation
(2023-05)The Cedar Mountain Formation is a rich source of information on North American megafauna during the Cretaceous, preserving sediments deposited in floodplains related to the Western Interior Seaway. In this thesis, petrified ... -
Insights on the translocation of a critically endangered crocodylian: Diet and body condition of headstart and wild Philippine crocodiles (Crocodylus mindorensis)
(2019)Studies of diet are fundamental to understanding a species’ ecology, and in relation to conservation translocations, dietary studies of headstart populations are particularly rare and valuable. These studies can yield ... -
