Student Reported Distractions to Homework Completion
(2017)The purpose of this study was to investigate the distractions that keep 8th grade students from completing their homework. Much research exists about homework across all grade levels. The bulk of this research highlights ... -
STUDIES UTILIZING DECELLULARIZED HUMAN AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE AND SW-620 CELLS AS A PRELUDE TO 3D IN VITRO CULTURES
(2017)The prevalence of cancer in modern society has increased from 14.1 million new diagnoses and 8.2 million deaths in 2012 to an estimated 21.7 million new diagnoses and 13 million cancer-related deaths projected in 2030. The ... -
Study of CO2 Solubility in Brine and Mineralization in Mafic Basaltic Formations
(2023-05)A huge amount of CO2 emissions should be mitigated for environmental benefits and to reach net zero by 2050. One method to mitigate these emissions is permanent CO2 sequestration through mineralization. CO2 can be mineralized ... -
Study of Effects of Lighting On Social Interactions Within Cafes
(2021-12-17)There is currently a lack of research surrounding the topic of how lighting can affect socialization in environments where socialization is a key function. This study aims to identify how lighting parameters influence ... -
Study of Electrospinning Synthesis Parameters and Validation of a Polarized Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging Device Using Electrospun Polycaprolactone Fibers and Scanning Electron Microscopy
(2022)Scaffolds made with electrospun nanofibers are used for many applications in which mechanical properties increase with decreasing the diameter and aligning the fibers. This thesis research investigates the effects of several ... -
Study of Matrices Related to Discrete Logarithm in Kummer Extensions
(2016)The discrete logarithm problem has been studied during the past decades for its important application in cryptography and other fields. It is very useful in the public key cryptography, which is widely used for Internet ... -
A Study of Solar Photovoltaic Grid Integration in Radial Distribution Systems
(2021-05-14)Recent years have shown an increase in penetration of solar photovoltaic (PV) and other renewable generation onto the distribution grid. Research has demonstrated several benefits of PV integration, both for supporting ... -
Study of stress field in seismogenic processes in Oklahoma
(2017)The recently increased seismicity in Oklahoma provides a rich catalog that delineates unmapped fault system. In this project, I identify 88 clusters with 20 or more earthquakes using automatic nearest-neighbor approach. ... -
A Study Of The Electrical, Microphysical, And Kinematic Properties Of The 29 May 2012 Kingfisher Supercell
(2014)A supercell thunderstorm formed as part of a cluster of severe storms near Kingfisher, OK on 29 May 2012 during the Deep Convective Clouds & Chemistry (DC3) experiment. This storm produced 5” hail, an EF-1 tornado, and ... -
A study on diffusion probabilistic models for image generation
(2023-12-15)Diffusion probabilistic models have emerged as powerful tools for image generation and synthesis tasks. This research delves into the intricate relationship between the hyperparameters of these models and the underlying ... -
Study on Negative Electricity Prices and Its Impact on Wind Farms Operation
(2016-12-16)The relation between Negative Electricity Prices (NEPs) and Wind Power Producers (WPPs) in the wholesale market, shows the complex paradox of the integration of wind power, and renewable energy in general, in the day to ... -
Study on System Strength of the Power Grid with Penetration of Renewables
(2018-05-11)The global demand for renewable energy presents the trend of accelerating growth in recent years due to depletion of fossil fuels and potential environmental problems. Integration of geographic dispersed renewable energy ... -
Study On The Effects Of Tubular Restrictions On Liquid Lifting In Natural Gas Wells
(2023-12-15)Liquid loading is a common issue in natural gas wells, resulting in the accumulation of liquids in the well due to the inability of the gas to carry them to the surface. Various methods have been proposed to identify and ... -
Study on the mechanical and thermal properties of class G cement composites
(2023-12-15)Nowadays the consumption of hydrocarbons such as oil and gas are higher than ever before, for that reason, the world is constantly looking for the development of new oil formations that were not accessible before due to ... -
Study On The Use Of Facemask Fibers For Soil Reinforcement
(2023-12-15)This study investigated the potential application of facemask materials as a sustainable solution for soil reinforcement, with a focus on assessing the influence of facemask fiber attributes on the geotechnical properties ... -
Studying “fitness for service” of the sealing assemblies and cement system
(2018-05)Well integrity is a crucial phase of well design and construction, as such multiple barriers are usually installed in wells to prevent any migration of formation fluids. One of these barriers include the elastomeric sealing ... -
A Sub-daily Severe Weather Climatology and Its Implications for Forecasting
(2017-05)While there has been an abundance of research dedicated to the seasonal climatology of severe weather, very little has been done to study hazardous weather probabilities on smaller scales. Using a similar process to the ... -
SUB-SEISMIC REEF CHARACTERIZATION USING MACHINE LEARNING AND MULTI-ATTRIBUTE ANALYSIS
