Prioritizing Engagement and Movement in the World Language Classroom: An Action Research Study on Deskless Seating in Secondary, Novice-Level Spanish Classes
(2020-05-08)Deskless seating is a seating trend that has grown in popularity in recent years, particularly among world language educators of students of all ages. In deskless seating, the desks in the classroom are removed and the ... -
PRIVATE DEVOTION, PUBLIC ACTION: THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF MADAME ACARIE TO POST-REFORMATION FRENCH CATHOLICISM
(2020-05-08)Among the figures in Post-Reformation France who greatly influenced the development of Catholic spirituality as well as French history and culture is Madame Acarie, a wife, mother, mystic, and reformer who later became a ... -
Probabilistic Characterization of Floods from Catchment-Scale Precipitation Moments
(2019)Floods are one of the most devastating natural hazards across the world, accounting for roughly one third of all global geophysical hazards. The ability to predict and characterize floods is increasingly important, and in ... -
PROCEDURAL FEMINISM AND SLOW ARGUMENT: THE VALUE OF LISTENING IN FIRST-YEAR COMPOSITION
(2017-05-12)This essay argues that program-wide curriculum planning can benefit from feminist practices that have come from the past decade’s feminist rhetorical theory, such as Krista Ratcliffe’s work on rhetorical listening and the ... -
PROCESS BASED MODELING OF SURFACE ENERGY FLUXES, EVAPOTRANSPIRATION, SOIL MOISTURE, AND SOIL TEMPERATURE IN THE US SOUTHERN PLAINS
(2019-12-13)This study aims to evaluate the capability and transferability of a physically-based hydrologic model to understand the trade-offs between precipitation, soil moisture and surface energy fluxes at sites with different ... -
PROCESS SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE GUADALUPIAN RADER LIMESTON, DELAWARE BASIN
(2017)An integrated LiDAR, XRF, Spectral Gamma Ray, and outcrop investigation was performed on the upper Guadalupian Rader Formation in the Delaware Basin of West Texas. The Rader Formation, is an upper slope carbonate submarine ... -
Produced water demulsification using maghemite nanoparticles
(2020-12-18)Produced water management has become an important topic among oil and gas operators due to recent environmental regulations. Produced water requires treatment for recycling or disposal to the environment. Different methods ... -
Production data analysis and forecasting: Bayesian probabilistic methods to quantify uncertainty, analyze production performance trends in stack
(2020-12-18)In this work, a Bayesian approach of probabilistic estimation for decline curve analysis in unconventional reservoirs is presented. The primary objectives of this study are the quantification of the uncertainty for production ... -
Production Sustainability of Shale Plays
(2017-05-12)Shale reservoirs are commonly observed to have high initial flow rates followed by the occurrence of rapid declines in these rates early in their productive lives. There is, therefore, a need for terminology which describes ... -
THE PROGRAMMING OF WOMEN COMPOSERS: PERCEPTIONS AND PRACTICES OF OKLAHOMA SECONDARY SCHOOL BAND DIRECTORS
(2020-06)The purpose of this study was to investigate Oklahoma secondary school band directors’ perceptions and programming of women composers. Specifically, I measured Oklahoma secondary school band directors’ (a) familiarity with ... -
Project Network Implementation of Infrastructure System Restoration
(2020-05)Infrastructure system restoration at shortest time became a paramount demand to retain system’s functionality to normal performance and avoid services from being ceased for a long time. Enormous studies elucidated the ... -
Promoting Speciation Through Variable Dominance in Genetic Algorithms
(2020-05)Genetic algorithms are a class of search algorithms that have been around since the 1970s. Despite their age, genetic algorithms still see a great deal of use in various applications and so many efforts have gone into ... -
PROPPANT FLOW AND TRANSPORT MODELING IN DEFORMABLE HYDRAULIC FRACTURE NETWORKS
(2018)The objective of the hydraulic fracturing stimulation is to create a large volume of fractured rock with enhanced permeability. The effectiveness of a hydraulic fracturing stimulation depends on maintaining the created ... -
Putting ADHD Into Words (and Images, and Videos): A Transmedial Experience
(2023-12-15)This project is the culmination of the author’s efforts to put into words, images, and videos, among other things, his attention-deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), which was diagnosed during his time at graduate school. ... -
Qualifying Qatar's Sports Investments as Levers of Subtle Power
(2021)Qatar has recently risen from relative obscurity and ascended to a role as a larger regional power, with greater geopolitical ambitions still. One major part of this rise has been Qatar’s recent heavy investment into sport, ... -
Quality Comparison of Three Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Printers at Different Cost Levels
(2019-12)The purpose of this study was to better define how quality in terms of surface quality, dimensional accuracy, consistency/repeatability, and total build time vary based upon 3D printers in different cost levels. One FDM ... -
Quantification of nanoparticle interactions with the Nanoparticle Clearance System
(2020-05-08)The goal of nanomedicine is to target therapeutic and diagnostic agents to target tissues. However, there are multiple physiological barriers which prevent nanoparticles from reaching the desired destination in the body. ... -
QUANTIFICATION OF NON-IDEAL MIXING IN SODIUM DI (2-ETHYLHEXYL) SULFOSUCCINATE – ANIONIC SURFACTANT MIXTURES
(2017-05)HLD equation was first introduced by Salager [1], however for predicting the HLD parameters from known parameters of a surfactant in a binary anionic-anionic mixture, Acosta [8] suggested linear mixing rules which can be ... -
Quantification of recovery factors in downspaced shale wells
(2016-12-16)Well spacing optimization in horizontal multi-fractured wells is the center of field development. Unconventional reservoirs due to the low matrix permeability cannot produce without the help of hydraulic fracturing. Unlike ...
