Radar Cross Section Analysis of Tornadic Debris
(2016-12-16)Weather radar is a powerful tool for detecting hazardous weather that may impact citizens. Among these dangerous weather phenomena, tornadoes have a high potential for destruction of property and loss of life due to its ... -
Radiation-Induced Acoustic Imaging System Development and Applications
(2019)This thesis reports the development of three different radiation induced acoustic imaging systems excited by a pulsed laser, X-ray, and electric field respectively. Firstly, a laser induced photoacoustic imaging system for ... -
Raman spectroscopy and its applications to ice-sediment-brine matrices in recurring slope lineae on Mars
(2020-05-08)Raman spectroscopy is an ideal tool to analyze the geochemical make up of various compounds, be they solid, liquid, gas, or a combination of multiple phases. This research seeks to determine how changes in both temperature ... -
Rapid elemental analysis using X-ray fluorescence and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy and their applications in the Mississippian Meramec, Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
(2020)X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) and Laser Induced Breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) are rapid elemental analysis techniques for rock cores and cuttings. Elemental analysis is useful in understanding geochemical, mineralogical, ... -
Rapid Permian exhumation of the Montagne Noire dome recorded in provenance of Upper Paleozoic clastics in the Graissessac-Lodève Basin, France
The Graissessac-Lodeve Basin (southern France) preserves a thick and exceptionally complete record of continental sedimentation spanning Late Carboniferous through Late Permian time. This section records the localized ... -
Rapid-scan, polarimetric, mobile, Doppler-radar observations of the formation, evolution, and structure of the El Reno tornado of 31 May 2013
(2016-10)On 31 May 2013, the mobile, Rapid-scan, X-band, Polarimetric (RaXPol) radar collected a high spatial and temporal resolution dataset documenting the genesis, intensification, and dissipation of a tornado that caused EF-3 ... -
Rationalizing Ignorance and the No New Normal Community: Mythology, Sense of Community, and Conspiracy Theories
(2021-08-05)This study researched the themes of Campbell’s (1988) third (sociological) and fourth (pedagogical) functions of mythology and sense of community theory on the anti-mask subreddit: No New Normal. Users of the No New Normal ... -
Ravenscroft (34BV198) Bison Skull Piles: Explorations of Purpose and Meaning
(2022-12-16)Ravenscroft is a late Paleoindian arroyo bison kill located along a tributary of the Canadian River named Bull Creek in the Oklahoma Panhandle. Multiple field seasons eventually identified two stacks of bison skulls at the ... -
The Ravenscroft II Site: A Late Paleo-Indian Bison Kill Event in the Oklahoma Panhandle
(2017-05-12)The winter kill model combines aspects of optimal foraging theory and animal behavioral ecology to explain large scale bison hunting organization on the North American Great Plains. These same theories are applied to the ... -
Rawinsonde Observations of Supercell-Environment Interactions
(2016-12)The Mesoscale Predictability Experiment (MPEX) in 2013 and Mini-MPEX in 2016 used mobile soundings to observe the near-storm environments of springtime Great Plains convection. Together, the projects collected over 100 ... -
Re-Framing Failure: Mindsets in Foreign Language Learners
(2018-12-14)Abstract In recent years, Carol Dweck, Ph.D’s mindset research has influenced and shaped educational practice. However, Dweck’s research has received little attention in foreign language pedagogy and classroom discourse. ... -
A Real Time Ground Based Augmentation System Implemented with LabVIEW Software
(2022-12-16)This thesis develops and implements a real time Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) in the LabVIEW environment incorporating the Local Monitor (LM) from the Closed-Loop GBAS (CL-GBAS) concept. GBAS, also referred to ... -
Real-Time Gesture Recognition with Mini Drones
(2018-12-14)Drones are being used worldwide to perform many functions - medical deliveries, video recording, and surveying to name a few. Their growing presence is paralleled by the growing world of Machine Learning (ML). This thesis ... -
Real-Time Hybrid Simulation Study of a Rolling Pendulum Equipment Isolation System
(2021-05-14)Damage caused by earthquakes to buildings and their contents (e.g., sensitive equipment) can impact life safety and disrupt business operations following an event. The resulting social and economic losses can be minimized, ... -
REALISTIC MODELING OF HANDOVER EVENTS IN A MULTI-CARRIER 5G NETWORK: A PRELIMINARY STEP TOWARDS COP-KPI RELATIONSHIP REALIZATION
(2020-05-08)The ever-increasing demand for mobile data traffic along with new use cases are set to make the current cellular network technology obsolete and give rise to a newer and better one in the form of 5G. This arising technology ... -
