Simple modification method for the surface functionalization of poly (α-hydroxy ester) polymers
(2012)A vital component for the engineering of tissue constructs in vitro is a scaffold that allows cells to adhere and proliferate. Biomimetic scaffolds aim to enhance the regeneration of damaged tissue by mimicking the cells' ... -
Simulating CO2 Sequestration in the Arbuckle Group of Oklahoma and Exploring the Extent of Applicability of an Analytical Model in Predicting Pressure Buildup
(2023-05-13)This thesis presents the groundwork for a proposed CO2 sequestration project in Osage County, Oklahoma. It describes the flow simulation of the CO2 plume in the saline aquifer of the Arbuckle Group, a dolomite formation, ... -
Simulation and Adaptive Aperture Allocation for All-Digital Phased-Array Radar
(2019-08-01)Increased flexibility afforded by all-digital radar architectures and operational concepts such as MIMO radar can be leveraged with new waveforms and aperture allocation methods to improve radar performance in diverse ... -
A simulation and analytical study on the performance of gas-liquid centrifugal downhole separators
(2023-12-15)A common issue in depleted oil and gas wells is the lack of energy to drive the fluids to the surface. Engineers use various artificial lift systems to solve this problem, most commonly by using pumps. Many pump types do ... -
Simulation of Polarimetric Phased Array Weather Radars
(2016-05)Polarimetric phased array radars (PPARs) are a rapidly developing area of research interest in weather radar. However, they present intrinsic challenges for calibration and operation. Foremost among these are the adverse ... -
A Simulation Study Comparing the Use of Supervised Machine Learning Variable Selection Methods in the Psychological Sciences
(2022)When specifying a predictive model for classification, variable selection (or subset selection) is one of the most important steps for researchers to consider. Reducing the necessary number of variables in a prediction ... -
SIMULTANEOUS ASSIMILATION OF RADAR AND SATELLITE DATA FOR CONVECTIVE SCALE NWP USING HYBRID ENSEMBLE VARIATIONAL DATA ASSIMILATION APPROACH
(2017)Recently, an ensemble of the three-dimensional variational data assimilation (En3DA) system has been developed based on Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) three-dimensional variational (3DVar) data assimilation ... -
SINCERE IGNORANCE AND CONSCIENTIOUS STUPIDITY: DMC IN OJJ
(2018)The Purpose of this study is to analyze how framing of race language guides a person’s perception and interaction with other races. The study interviews persons employed by Oklahoma Juvenile Justice. The goal is to analyze ... -
Singing Redface: The Misappropriation of American Indian Culture in Popular Music
(2016-12)This project examines the role of cultural appropriation in the creation of Native American stereotypes that are present in Western popular music in post-colonial America through the completion of an in-progress book. ... -
Single-cell genomics of a candidate division TM6 - uncultured bacterial phylum in Zodletone Spring, Oklahoma
Previously, metagenomic studies of Zodletone Spring (south-western Oklahoma) revealed uncultured and poorly characterized bacterial phyla. Among them, a bacterial phylum "Candidate Division TM6" is present. It is widespread ... -
Slowing Down and the Vertical/Horizontal Spectrum in Kaija Saariaho's Duft
(2018-05-11)Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho moved to Paris in 1982 to work at IRCAM (Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique) and GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales). Her research involved slowing down tape ... -
Smart Home Technology Effect on Behavior, Cognition, and Wellbeing of Individuals Aging In Place
(2021)As many older adults prefer to age in place, there is a possibility of elevating the Quality of Life (QoL) via implementing smart home technologies, specifically Voice-Controlled Intelligent Personal Assistants (VIPA). ... -
Snakes and Snails or Sugar and Spice? Gender Differences in Studying and Help-Seeking Behaviors in the College Classroom
(2024-05-10)College is a time of adjustment, particularly for first-year students. Although many students face challenges, research has suggested an increasing disparity in how well men and women adapt (Moore et al., 2010; Respondek ... -
Social desirability and self-reported levels of stigma among mental health providers as it relates to people with schizophrenia
(2023-12-15)This study explores the relationship between levels of mental health stigma in mental health providers, and how they compare to the general population. In this literature mental health stigma is explored through the lens ... -
Social Smoking and Drinking Behaviors in Young Adults
(2017-08)Young adult social smokers smoke almost exclusively while drinking, and are more likely to smoke solely in social environments, such as bars or clubs, than daily smokers. While previous research has found a link between ...
