(2021-05-14)The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) was created to better assess all realms of physical fitness on an age and sex-neutral scale. Despite an increasing number of females joining the more physically rigorous military ... -
The Role of Solar-Powered Float-Mix Aerators on Iron Retention in Passive Treatment Oxidation Ponds
(2019-12)In passive treatment of net-alkaline mine drainage, oxidation ponds are typically the primary process unit designed to promote iron oxidation, hydrolysis, and precipitation. Iron oxidation kinetics can be accelerated by ... -
The Roles of Bedrock Mortars in Rockshelters of Eastern Oklahoma
(2022-05-13)Rockshelters form an important part of the archaeological landscape. Rockshelters served a number of purposes, and in pursuit of those purposes they could be altered or adjusted. A prominent example of these rockshelter ... -
THE ROLES OF STOCKING RATES AND LAKE CHARACTERISTICS IN THE SUCCESS OF THE FLORIDA LARGEMOUTH BASS STOCKING PROGRAM IN OKLAHOMA
(2017-05-12)Florida largemouth bass, Micropeterus salmoides floridanus (Lesueur 1822), have been introduced throughout the United States in an effort to improve trophy bass fishing appeal by increasing fish size and number. However, ... -
ROLLING-TYPE ISOLATION: AN EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION AND NUMERICAL PARAMETRIC STUDY
(2017-12-15)Building contents and nonstructural components are known to be vulnerable during seismic events. Of particular concern is computer and network equipment that is critical in the post-earthquake recovery process. A solution ... -

(2018-08-02)Today's warfighter relies on extensive wireless technology to stay connected to allied forces and the battle theater. Communication equipment, IFF (identification friend-or-foe) identifiers, global positioning systems, ... -
THE RUNNING BACK BY COMMITTEE APPROACH AND ITS EFFECT ON THE RUNNING BACK LABOR MARKET IN THE NFL
(2024-05-10)Running back salaries in the National Football League have been a major point of discussion for the last two offseason cycles. The league has seen some of the highest performing players struggle to receive satisfactory ... -
RUNNING SCARED: FEAR, SPACE, AND AFFECT IN AMNESIA: THE DARK DESCENT
(2019)Most contemporary 3-D video games provide a wealth of visual information to players to help them navigate the in-game virtual space. Maps, compasses, beacons, and other visual guides are often necessary components of ... -
RWIS based road condition prediction using machine learning algorithms
(2021-06-26)The need for a forecasting model of road conditions is becoming evermore critical, given the effects of ever-increasing severity in weather. Drastic changes in weather, especially cold fronts, often lead to dangerous roads. ... -
Sand thickness estimation using spectral decomposition
(2004)Spectral decomposition of seismic data has been used to identify thin beds and other possible changes subsurface sand layers. Spectral decomposition can be used as a tool for estimating bed thickness. This thesis uses a ... -
SAR Image Formation via Subapertures and 2D Backprojection
(2020-05-08)Radar imaging requires the use of wide bandwidth and a long coherent processing interval, resulting in range and Doppler migration throughout the observation period. This migration must be compensated in order to properly ... -
