Decolonizing the Indigenous Language Classroom: A Heteroglossia of Ideological Shift in Indigenous Language Revitalization
(2017-05)This thesis examines the language ideologies of three Native American language instructors at the University of Oklahoma, looking specifically at the way these ideologies are seen in their pedagogical methodologies. This ... -
Decomposition Algorithm in Fixed Charge Time-Space Network Flow Problems
(2017-12-15)A wide range of network flow problems primarily used in transportation is categorized as time-space fixed charge network flow (FCNF) problems. In this family of networks, each node is associated with a specific time and ... -
DEEP LEARNING FOR SHALE SEM IMAGE ANALYSIS
(2020)The microstructure of unconventional reservoir rocks not only controls the storage and transport of hydrocarbons but also controls the mechanical properties of the shale. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has been valuable ... -
Deep Learning for Weak Target Detection in Range-Doppler Data
(2022-05)A consistent issue for detectors in radar systems is how to correctly distinguish target signals from random noise. This is especially true for weak targets with low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Traditional target detection ... -
DeepWiN: Deep Graph Reinforcement Learning for User-Centric Radio Access Networks Automation
(2023-12-15)The future cellular networks are expected to support an increasing number of users with heterogeneous applications, requiring varying network resources. Therefore, the 6G and beyond cellular networks need to be elastic, ... -
DEFENDING THE NEED FOR PHYSICIAN ASSISTED SUICIDE AND EUTHANASIA
(2017-05)This work intends to defend the need for the United States to adopted a law such as Holland’s Euthanasia Law to ensure the best possible medical interventions and options are provided to all. Medicine gives those who can ... -
Defining functional tooth morphotypes in extant and extinct crocodylians, with dietary and feeding implications
(2000)Crocodylians have traditionally been considered to have homodont dentitions (eg., Kalin, 1933; Langston, 1973). Although all the teeth in these species are cone-shaped, there is a large amount of morphological variation ... -
Deinking Printed Plastic Using Nonionic Surfactant and Cationic Polymer
(2021-08-05)Plastic recycling has been an ongoing conversation amongst many environmentalists who aim to reduce consumption and use of plastic. Prior to reducing plastic use, it is crucial to consider the current process of recycling ... -
Delinearization of Polyhedral Abstractions to Characterize Quantum Assembly
(2021-12)Increasingly complex quantum algorithms are designed in a hardware-agnostic fashion, implemented leveraging high-level programming languages, and then lowered to simpler sequences of quantum operations (gates) using a ... -
Deltaic Sedimentation and Stratigraphy of the Late Cretaceous Frontier Formation in the Southeast Bighorn Basin, Wyoming
(2019-05-10)Regional subsurface mapping of the Cretaceous Frontier Formation indicates that it was deposited as discrete deltaic lobes within the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway (KWIS). The source of sediment was to the west and ... -
Delving deeper into plant assembly: determine the role of intraspecific diversity across space and time to affect carbon dynamics in natural and managed systems
(2019-05-11)Understanding the key ecological processes contributing towards the spatial-temporal variation in intra-specific diversity of commonly occurring species, especially during early colonization events, can be key to predict ... -
Demands, Resources, and Outcomes for College Students with Children
(2019-08-01)Even as a growing population, college students with children continue to be underrepresented in research. This is unfortunate because compared to their peers without children, they are more likely to leave college without ... -
DENSITY CHANGES AND COMPOSITIONAL PATH DURING CO2 INJECTION
(2016-12-16)CO2 EOR has been used for a couple of decades as it improves oil recovery. With more than 50% of original oil in place (OOIP) remaining inside reservoir after primary and secondary stage, more and more companies start to ... -
Depositional History and Provenance Analysis of the Permian-Aged Garber Sandstone, Central Oklahoma
(2023-05)The Lower Permian Kungurian (Leonardian) Garber Sandstone records a time of profound climatic and tectonic transition in central Pangea with the collapse of an icehouse climate, inception of Pangean monsoonal circulation, ... -
Depression and aggression in Chinese migrant adolescents: the moderating role of family and peer support
(2021-12)The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between depression and aggression among Chinese migrant adolescents. The moderating roles of family and peer support were also tested separately. Participants were ... -
The Design and Adaptation of an Experimental Test Setup to Characterize Metal Spring Energized Seals
(2023-08-04)Fluid sealing technology is critical to the performance and longevity of equipment in a variety of industries. They prevent harmful fluids from being released into the environment, especially in the case of the oil and gas ... -
Design and Analysis of a Novel Freeze Desalination System for Treatment of Oil and Gas Produced Water
(2021-05-14)Freeze desalination is an alternative technology that has received a lot of attention due to several advantages. Among these, the lower energy consumption and low operation temperature are the most important ones. The ... -
