Fatalism and its Effect on Health Behaviors in Mississippi and Louisiana Residents
(2021-08-05)The Health Belief Model maps out multiple sources to explain actions people take or do not take in regard to health behaviors. One’s sense of control over one’s own health is a central component of the health belief model. ... -
Fault Detection and Diagnosis of Air Handling Unit in HVAC System Using Cloud-based Data Logging System
(2019-05-10)This project encompasses the engineering principles of design and testing of the implementation of a fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) using cloud-based data logging system on Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning ... -
Fault distribution in the Sulphur, Oklahoma area based on gravity, magnetic and structural data
(1989)Declining water flow from springs in the Travertine District, Chickasaw National Recreation Area (CNRA) spurred geologic investigation of the area. Because geologic structure may influence hydrology, knowledge of structure ... -
FAULT RUPTURE PROCESSES DURING HIGH VELOCITY ROTARY SHEAR EXPERIMENTS
(2016-05-13)High velocity shear experiments can provide information on fault rupture processes that seismological methods cannot. The present study focuses on two main aspects of fault rupture processes. One is developing a new, ... -
Feasibility of Blast Furnace Slag for Stabilizing Sulfate-Bearing Soil
(2023-12-15)Calcium-based stabilizers are frequently used by The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) to enhance the strength and reduce the swelling potential of fine-grained soils. However, these stabilizers can lead to ... -
The Feasibility of Using X-Ray Induced Acoustic Computed Tomography for Non-Destructive Testing of Aircraft Structural
(2020-06-15)Aviation safety is a very important aspect of the aviation industry. One of the most important methods for increasing aviation safety is the non-destructive testing method. The non-destructive testing method is considered ... -
