An intercomparison of Landsat land surface temperature retrieval methods under variable atmospheric conditions using in situ skin temperature
(2016)Land surface temperature (LST) retrieved from Landsat is a valuable resource for understanding land cover change, monitoring the urban heat island effect, and modeling hydrological and carbon cycles, among other applications. ... -
Interference Mitigation using Reconfigurable RF Components
(2017)The need for efficient spectrum management continues to grow as the number of users of wireless technologies continues to increase. Solutions to this problem include cognitive radio systems, which aim to adaptively ... -
Interferometric analysis of an exploration seismic survey in northern Texas
The extraction of Earth responses from seismic data without an active source has received more attention in the past decade than ever before. This growth in popularity is primarily due to the increased availability of ... -
Intergenerational Socialization of Gender from Grandparents to Grandchildren: Examining Mechanisms of Exposure
(2016-05-13)Though grandparents are known to be influential in the lives of their grandchildren, little quantitative research exists to assess the intergenerational socialization of gender ideology within the grandparent-grandchild ... -
Interlimb Asymmetries Following High and Low External Training Loads in Collegiate Basketball Players
(2020-05-08)Interlimb asymmetry refers to the performance of an extremity in relation to the other. This imbalance between limbs has often been considered a risk factor for injury, as well as a dynamic performance inhibitor. However, ... -
INTERNAL CURING OF CALCIUM SULFOALUMINATE CEMENT CONCRETE USING LIGHTWEIGHT AGGREGATE
(2018-05-12)Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement is a very rapid setting, hydraulic cement that releases approximately half as much carbon dioxide during production as conventional portland cement. CSA cement produces concrete with ... -
INTERNATIONAL IDENTITY IMPLICATIONS IN BREAKING FROM ECONOMIC AGREEMENTS
(2019-05)The purpose of this study is analyze how and why international identity matters particularly when discussing why states choose to break from international regimes in the form of economic arrangements. This study looks in ... -
INTERPRETATION OF GALVANIC RESISTIVITY, ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION, AND DIELECTRIC DISPERSION LOGS TO ESTIMATE WATER SATURATION IN ORGANIC RICH SHALE
(2018-12)Water saturation estimation based on electrical and electromagnetic logs in organic-rich shale reservoirs is challenging due to effects of clay and conductive minerals. Presence of nanopores, low porosity, interfacial ... -
INTERPRETATION OF INTER-WELL CHEMICAL TRACER TEST
(2017)For the first time, this thesis presents a new approach to characterize reservoir layering and cross flow between layers using Inter-Well Chemical Tracer Test (ICTT). ICTT is a well-known reliable test for reservoir ... -
Interpretational variations of seismic attribute analysis as compared within the time and depth domains
(2022)Migration is one of the crucial data processing steps re-locating the recorded seismic events to their true locations, suppressing the diffractions and thus, providing more accurate imaging of the subsurface. It can be ... -
Interpreting climatic change during the Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene in Oklahoma based on the stable isotope and amino acid composition of fossil bison bones
The stable isotope values from both the orgamc (collagen, δ13C, δ15N) and inorganic (hydroxyapatite, δ13C, δ18O) components within fossil bison bones and teeth were used to determine climatic shifts in Oklahoma during the ... -
Interpreting Land-Use During the Late Paleoindian Bull Creek Occupation on the Southern Plains
(2021-05-14)The Bull Creek late Paleoindian archaeological site (34BV176), located along a tributary of the Beaver River in the Oklahoma Panhandle, is among the few known earliest human occupation sites on the Southern Plains. Located ... -
INTERRELATING PRODUCTION ANALYSIS WITH PORE SCALE STRUCTURE IN THE BAKKEN RESERVOIR
(2016)Improving well performance and associated project economics in oil resource plays rely on developing reservoir characterization capabilities. The need for understanding pore-scale geometry in low porosity low permeability ... -
The Intersection of Gender and Land in Post-Genocide Rwanda: Land Tenure Regularization and its Impact on Women
(2016)Following the violent and destructive genocide of 1994, Rwandan women were especially vulnerable because social and legal barriers kept them from accessing resources that were already scarce. The government of Rwanda, ... -
The Intersection of Radar and Communications: A Study on Spectrum Management for Addressing RF Interference
(2023-05-12)The radio frequency (RF) spectrum is a fruitful yet competitive frontier that enables technologies like 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, long-range telescopes, microwave ovens, radar, and more. With finite supply and increasing ... -
The Intersection of Wind Energy and Wildlife management: A Case Study of Prairie-Chickens and Wind Turbine Site Selection in Oklahoma
(2018-12)The demand for alternatives to fossil fuels has increased over the past couple of years, so it is becoming increasingly important to find alternative energy sources. While wind energy represents one potential alternative ... -
INTIMATE VIOLENCES: MAPPING, AWARENESS, AND PREVENTION IN OKLAHOMA
(2017-05-12)One in three women and one in four men experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime. The Centers for Disease Control (2010) reports that 47 percent of women first experience IPV during ages 18-24 and that ... -
Intraoperative Virtual Surgical Planning Through Medical Mixed Reality
(2021)The mission is to augment every surgery. Compared to a pilot flying a plane or even a regular google-map user on his way to work/home, surgeons today have their instruments clustered behind them hanging in the wall. The ... -
Inventory Scheduling Framework to Fulfill Multi-Product Orders within an Interconnected Production Network
(2021-05)Production facilities are critical components of the global economy and supply chain. Firms are forced to balance several competing objectives—from reducing operating costs by managing inventory to increasing profits by ... -
Investigating Arctic Cyclone-Tropopause Polar Vortex Interactions with Observing System Simulation Experiments
