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 ... -
Assessing the Utility of Low-Level Buoyancy and CopterSonde Measurements to Understand Atmospheric Boundary Layer Transitions
(2021-12-17)Advancements in remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) introduced a new way to observe the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Adequate sampling of the lower atmosphere is key to improving numerical weather models and ... -
Assessment of Learning Through Reflecting on Doing
(2019-05-10)Over the past two decades, an emerging educational framework called ‘experiential learning’ has come to prominence in numerous fields, including medical and instructional education. Experiential learning, in contrast to ... -
AN ASSESSMENT OF OKLAHOMA WINTER WEATHER THROUGH THE HIGH-RESOLUTION LENS OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES
(2019-12-13)Winter weather can lead to power grid failures, disruption of transportation, and can impact the local economy. Specifically in the southern Great Plains, short term model analyses struggle to identify the depth and magnitude ... -
Assessment of Partial Joint Penetration Welds on Bolted End-plate Connections for use in Intermediate Moment Frames
(2016-05-13)End-plate moment connections are a very common connection type used in the metal building industry today. Bolted end-plate connections are found where a rafter is joined to a column and consist of a steel plate welded to ... -
Assessment of spectral attributes in identifying gas hydrates in seismic data from the Pegasus Basin, offshore New Zealand
(2023-05-13)Gas hydrates are formed in the subsurface along shallow ocean basins or in permafrost settings, and are commonly identified in the seismic data by the bottom-simulating reflector (BSR). Various methods have been employed ... -
Assessment of stratospheric wave activity associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and its potential impact on the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO)
(2021-12)The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) are known to provide sub-seasonal to seasonal predictability, yet their dynamics and interactions are not fully understood. Many recent studies have ... -
