SEM INVESTIGATION OF THE FRACTURE NETWORK (STIMULATED RESERVOIR VOLUME) INDUCED BY HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
(2018)Tight formations often have an ultra-low permeability that prohibits fluid migration from the reservoir. To counter this issue, large fracture networks are created to connect pore space and increase permeability. The ... -
A Semi-Continuous System for Monitoring Microbially Influenced Corrosion
(2018)Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC), also known as biocorrosion, has significant impacts on the environment and economy. Typical systems to study biocorrosion are either dynamic (once-through flow) or static (serum ... -
Semiotic Analysis of Idolic Communication at the Core of the Oklahoma City Memorial Museum
(2022-12-16)Traumatic events leave generational scars in communities around the world. In Oklahoma City, the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995 left deep scars. The community then banded together to ... -
Sensemaking and leader creative performance: The effect of understanding stakeholders' mental models
(2020-12)Organizational leaders are often presented with novel, complex, and ill-defined problems that call for creative problem-solving. Furthermore, the socially embedded nature of leadership problems requires that leaders develop ... -
Sequence stratigraphic framework of the Caney Shale, Arkoma Basin southeastern Oklahoma
(2011)Many petroleum companies have turned their attention to the exploration and development of shale as unconventional resource plays. The focus of this study was the Caney Shale, which occurs in the Oklahoma part of the Arkoma ... -
SEQUENCE-STRATIGRAPHIC AND FACIES CONTROLS ON RESERVOIR QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF EARLY TO MIDDLE MIOCENE FLUVIAL AND TIDE-DOMINATED DELTAIC DEPOSITS, FORMATION 2, GULF OF THAILAND
(2018)The Early to Middle Miocene Formation 2 is the main contributor to hydrocarbon production in the Gulf of Thailand. Formation 2 consists of nine key lithofacies deposits in fluvial and tide-dominated deltaic environments. ... -
Settler Colonialism on the Southern Plains: Squatters and the Construction of a Settler State in Indian Territory
(2018)Settler colonialism, a process by which settlers take control of and transform both the land and people who live in a region into the settlers’ image, was a defining force in Oklahoma’s formation and remains pervasive in ... -
Settler Intrusion and Indian Survival in California's Round Valley, 1849-1860
(2016)Scholars currently focusing on white-Indian relations in California are involved in a polarized debate regarding genocide in the state. While this scholarship has undoubtedly brought forth new research and viewpoints on ... -
Settling in at the Cross Bar Ranch: Antelope Creek Settlement Patterns and Distributions in the Texas Panhandle
(2022)Previous research conducted by Dr. Christopher Lintz into the settlement patterning of Antelope Creek groups in the southern Great Plains found that those settlements could be typified according to their site function, and ... -
SEVERE HAIL DETECTION USING REMOTE SENSING OBSERVATIONS AND AN EVALUATION OF THE ABOVE ANVIL CIRRUS PLUME FOR SEVERE WEATHER DETECTION
(2018-12-14)This thesis undergoes a comprehensive comparative analysis to address two main objectives: a) Thoroughly assess available radar, satellite, and lightning based products’ ability to identify hail events and size, and b) ... -
SEX DIFFERENCES IN CEREBROVASCULAR RESPONSE TO SUBMAXIMAL AND MAXIMAL EXERCISE
(2020-07-30)Dysfunctional cerebrovascular control is closely linked to the increased incidence of cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. dementia and Alzheimer’s). Epidemiological evidence identifies sex-specific differences ... -
Sex differences in muscle force signal complexity and variability during maximal and submaximal exercise
(2023-05-12)Sex differences have been a topic of interest in exercise physiology as of late, especially the possibility of a sex-dependent fatigue mechanism. Signal complexity has the potential to provide a better picture of fatigue ... -
SEX TRAFFICKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR US & INTERNATIONAL POLICY
(2020)There are an estimated 24.9 million people being trafficked around the world (Human Trafficking, 2020). This project explores discourse and framing around trafficked individuals, particularly those trafficked for sex work, ... -
