(2024-05-10)Located north of Cape York in Australia lies the Torres Strait and the indigenous people who call it home. Torres Strait Islanders have a rich culture including song, dance, folk tales, and other traditions. Western ... -
An Archaeological and Historical Examination of the Sulphur Fork Factory, 1817-1822
(2023-05-12)The United States Indian Factory System, an early experiment in public enterprise, was a late addition to the North American Fur Trade phenomenon. Created by an act of Congress in 1795, the factory system established a ... -
AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE EARSPOOLS OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY AND SURROUNDING REGIONS
(2018)Earspools dating from the Mississippi Period are found throughout the Southeast region of North America. Some of these artifacts were recovered from sites in the Arkansas and Red River Valley regions which share similarities ... -
Archaeology of eastern Sonora, Mexico: A reconsideration of Rio Sonora/Serrana social organization through comparative ceramic analysis
(2021-05-14)This study will provide an additional perspective on the socio-political organization of the late precolonial and protocolonial period (AD 1250 to ~1550) in the Rio Sonora/Serrana region through an analysis of textured ... -
Art and literacy: a new assessment of the Fort Marion drawings
During the years 1875-1878, Fort Marion, an old Spanish fortress on the coast of Florida in the city of St. Augustine, was populated by seventy-one Native American prisoners. The individuals were held in exile from their ... -
Artist Power: Donald Judd's Museum and Foundation
(2018)This thesis examines the Chinati and Judd Foundations, established by Minimal artist Donald Judd, to demonstrate how artists can use organizations to wield power and influence in the art world. The Chinati Foundation, a ... -
Aspects of Seismicity Clustering, Subsurface Structure, and Stress Orientations
(2020-05-08)I study aspects of seismicity clustering, subsurface structures and stress orientations by analyzing seismicity at two of the most seismically active regions in the USA (Hawaii and Central USA). The notable volcanic, ... -
Assembly through invasion and restoration: effects on biodiversity and ecosystem function
(2020-12-18)It is well established that human activities have damaged many natural systems. Two critical aspects of mitigating this damage are identifying pathways to impacts and identifying the characteristics of successful interventions. ... -
Assessing Impact of Climate Change on Oklahoma Bridge Deck and Superstructure Deterioration using National Bridge Inventory Data
(2017-05-13)Bridge deterioration is a prominent problem in the United States. Bridge deck and superstructure elements are often exposed to harsh conditions and their performance is critical in the overall sufficiency of a bridge. Many ... -
ASSESSING MUDROCK CHARACTERISTICS, HIGH-RESOLUTION CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHY, AND SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE WOODFORD SHALE IN THE MCALISTER CEMETERY QUARRY, ARDMORE BASIN, OKLAHOMA
(2017-12-16)The Late Devonian – Early Mississippian Woodford Shale is a significant unconventional play in the Midcontinent region. An approximately 365ft thick exposure of the Woodford Shale is present in the McAlister Cemetery Quarry. ... -
Assessing Precipitation Delineation Capabilities of Spaceborne Radars
(2022-08-04)Spaceborne radars uniquely measure, provide the finest depiction of, and give the most accurate estimate of precipitation globally from space. The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission dual-frequency precipitation ... -
Assessing risk and potential reuse of hard rock mine drainage passive treatment residual solids
(2021-08)Ecologically engineered mine drainage passive treatment systems rely on a series of biogeochemical reactions to decrease concentrations of ecotoxic trace metals and have proven to be an effective way to improve water quality ... -
Assessing scanning strategies with all-digital phased array weather radars for characterization and detection of microbursts
(2022-05-13)Microbursts are a rapidly evolving, vertically oriented meteorological phenomena that can be extremely hazardous to aviation, and other human activities, if left undetected. The temporal resolution and vertical sampling ... -
Assessing the impact of non-conventional observation types on high-resolution 3DVAR analyses and ARW-WRF forecasts
(2016-12)This work looks at the impact on high-resolution analyses and forecasts of several non-conventional data types available within the Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) Urban Testbed. A major focus is an evaluation of the added value ... -
Assessing the Impact of Non-Conventional Observations on High-Resolution Analyses and Forecasts
(2017-05)A key recommendation of a 2009 report by the National Research Council (NRC) was for new mesoscale networks to be integrated with existing ones to form a nationwide “network of networks”. This recommendation originated ... -
Assessing the Pedagogical Change by Graduate Teaching Assistants New to Inquiry-based Learning
(2018-05-11)There is a great difficulty in how graduate students acclimate to both their student and teaching requirements. Adding to that difficulty, some students are also curious about varying pedagogical techniques. This pioneering ... -
Assessing the potential for beneficial reuse of passively-treated mine waters for livestock watering and crop irrigation
(2020-12-18)Passive treatment of mine drainage provides demonstrated water quality improvements and substantial removal of ecotoxic metals via biogeochemical, microbiological, and physical mechanisms. When mine drainage is treated to ... -
