Republic on the Red River: Documenting Choctaw Political Transformation from Removal to Reconstruction
(2022-04-27)The Trail of Tears left a stain upon American history, as a betrayal of the republic’s founding principles: but out of the removal, a political transformation was underway in the Choctaw Nation. Under the leadership of men ... -
Repurposing the Comparative Method for Pawnee Language and Dialect Revitalization
(2016-08)A member of the Caddoan language family, Pawnee is a nearly extinct language with few living fluent speakers. However, there is an active, community-led revitalization movement. Community members involved in revitalization ... -
Reservoir Characterization and Chemostratigraphy of the Goddard Shale in the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province
(2016)The Goddard Shale of the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province, or SCOOP, has become a formation of interest in recent years. However, there is a paucity of published information in regards to this formation. Therefore, the ... -
RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING OF THE DESMOINESIAN SERIES GRANITE WASH, BUFFALO WALLOW FIELD, ANADARKO BASIN, TEXAS
(2017)The Desmoinesian Series Granite Wash at Buffalo Wallow Field represents deepwater deposits including slumps, channels, and submarine fan lobes that consist of six major lithofacies as mudstone, interbedded mudstone and ... -
Reservoir Characterization of the Brae Formation, South Brae Field, UK North Sea
(2018-12)The South Brae Field is located 166 miles off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland in the UK sector of the North Sea. The Upper Jurassic Brae submarine channel-fan complex deposits are the primary hydrocarbon reservoirs in UK ... -
RESERVOIR QUALITY EVALUATION OF THE MERAMEC AND UPPER OSAGE UNITS IN THE ANADARKO BASIN
(2018-12-14)The objective of this study is to provide a comparative look at the diagenetic evolution and reservoir quality characteristics of the Meramec and Upper Osage units in the STACK (Sooner Trend Anadarko Basin of Canadian and ... -
Reservoir-scale stratigraphy, sedimentology, and porosity characteristics of Mississippian reservoirs, northeastern Anadarko Shelf, Oklahoma
The “Mississippi Lime” has been a productive carbonate play for several decades. However, geologic controls on production and reservoir quality have frequently been ambiguous to geologists. The Mississippian limestone ... -
Resilience-Based Tri-Level Optimization for Multi-Commodity Networks
(2022-05)Interdependent critical infrastructure systems represent substantial financial investments and are vital to maintain a basic level of social and economic well-being, making them attractive targets for malevolent actors. ... -
Resolution and Physics Sensitivities in Convection-Allowing Models and Ensembles
(2017-08)In recent years, convection-allowing models (CAMs) and ensembles have become more prominent in both research and operational settings. However, it largely remains unclear how to leverage computing resources to maximize ... -
Resolving Ontologies of Antisemitism, Orientalism, and the Question of Zionist Colonialism
(2018)This study addresses the persistent charge of orientalism leveled against Zionism and explores the relationship between orientalism and antisemitism, which Edward W. Said describes in his 1978 book Orientalism as that of ... -
Respiratory Rate Estimation Using WiFi Channel State Information - A Machine Learning Approach
(2020)Respiratory rate (RR) is an important vital sign for diagnosing and treating a number of medical conditions. Current respiration monitoring systems require that a special device is continuously attached to the human body. ... -
The Response of a Long-lived Mesoscale Convective System to Changes in Lower-Tropospheric Conditions
(2017-05)Most continental regions experience an afternoon or evening maximum of convective activity, which is dominated by convection driven by surface heating. However, the Great Plains of North America experiences a nocturnal ... -
RESTING MECHANOMYOGRAPHY BEFORE AND AFTER AN ACUTE BOUT OF SINGLE LEG RESISTANCE EXERCISE
(2016)ABSTRACT RESTING MECHANOMYOGRAPHY BEFORE AND AFTER AN ACUTE BOUT OF SINGLE LEG RESISTANCE TRAINING Cody Miller University of Oklahoma Supervising Professor: Dr. Travis Beck Mechanomyography (MMG) is the recording ... -
A Retrospective, Machine-learning Assisted Analysis of Seismic Sequence Migrations in Oklahoma and Delineating Fault Structures
(2022)Seismogenic fault geometries are important to understanding the seismic potential of fault slip in natural systems. Their orientation relative to the principal tectonic stress directions control their susceptibility to ... -
Return-on-investment frameworks can increase the efficiency of restoration efforts to improve freshwater connectivity
(2017-05-13)With global declines in biodiversity and limited budgets, many conservation organizations are trying to increase the efficiency of conservation efforts. One method is the use of a return-on-investment (ROI) framework, which ... -
Revealing channelized features through multi-scale workflows in a mixed carbonate siliciclastic setting, Grayburg and San Andres formations, Midland Basin, TX
(2023-05-13)Channelized systems in mixed carbonate-siliciclastic settings are challenging to characterize from the geological standpoint as facies variability is expected to be high (e.g., siliciclastic porous channel fills, carbonate ... -
Reverse Backprojection Method for Simulation of Passive Bistatic SAR Data
(2017-12-15)Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a valuable tool for acquiring information about landscapes through forming two-dimensional images remotely. SAR has useful applications for defense, intelligence, humanitarian, and urban ... -
Reversing the Error: The Role of Causal Attributions in Inhibiting Prejudice
(2017-05)There are a wide variety of explanations for why a person may hold prejudicial attitudes. For example, prior research suggests that those who hold more prejudicial views partake in the fundamental attribution error in ... -
