A Heat Wave Definition Employed across the Southern Great Plains for Trend Analysis from 1979-2019
(2021-08)Subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) extremes occur frequently in the Southern Great Plains (SGP), more specifically heat waves. Heat waves are expected to increase in frequency, duration, and intensity in several regions globally, ... -
Heirloom Microbes: a survey of lactic acid bacteria in traditional Mongolian dairy
(2020)Fermentation has sustained human communities for thousands of years. Through most of that time, humans unknowingly used microbes in food production, especially dairy. It wasn’t until the late nineteenth century that the ... -
Helping Students Find Their Voices: A Study in Student Self-Advocacy
(2018-12)This study explores student perceptions of self-advocacy, as well as the ways in which self-advocacy influences student success in the classroom. While there have been multiple research studies exploring the benefits of ... -
Herbivory, not soil nitrogen, alters grassland plant community structure and decomposition
(2016-12)Human activity has shifted grazing and nitrogen (N) altering plant community structure worldwide. Plant community changes are expected to alter associated ecosystem functions (e.g., plant litter decomposition). Few studies ... -
Heritage Walking: a Popular Geopolitics Study of the AYA Application and its role in Nation-Building and Heritage as a Motivational Factor for Walking
(2023-12-15)The AYA application (hereafter, app) released by the Chickasaw Nation in 2018, is a fitness app with a gamified rewards system built around the history and culture of the Chickasaw Nation. The Chickasaw Nation as a tribal ... -
Heroes and Villains: The Psychological Effects of Cosplay
(2021-12)Prior research has suggested that identifying with fictional characters while immersing in fiction increases the likelihood of taking on the traits and perspectives of those characters (Appel, 2011; Hatvany et al., 2018; ... -
Heterogeneity of clastic provenance to the Anadarko Basin and implications for paleogeography
(2018)Thin section petrography and U/Pb detrital zircon geochronology were used to reconstruct Middle-Late Pennsylvanian drainage pathways into the Anadarko Basin, and evaluating the relative proportion of sediment originating ... -
Heuristic Approach to Network Recovery
(2018-05-11)This study addresses optimization modeling for recovery of a transportation system after a major disaster. In particular, a novel metric based on the shape of the recovery curve is introduced as the objective to minimize. ... -
HEXANE CRACKING ON Y ZEOLITES: ACTIVITY ENHANCEMENT AND ITS POSSIBLE REASONS
(2016)HY zeolites are an essential component as catalysts in fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) process. The Steamed HY or Ultra Stable Y (USY) zeolites have proved to be active hydrocarbon cracking catalysts. Therefore, in this ... -
High ambient pressure testing apparatus and demonstration of use for material testing
(2023-05-12)This thesis describes the work involved in designing and fabricating a high-ambient pressure chamber for material testing. Using SolidWorks CAD software, an SAE AISI 4340 steel chamber was designed with a simulated design ... -
High and dry: institutional impediments to effective drought management and relief in the 1995-96 and 1998 Oklahoma droughts
(2001)This thesis examines the abilities of government entities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Oklahoma to work in concert using institutional and organizational learning precepts to effectively plan for and mitigate ... -
HIGH RESOLUTION INTEGRATED VAIL-GALLOWAY SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LEONARDIAN BONE SPRING FORMATION, N. DELAWARE BASIN, SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
(2019-12)Leonardian-aged Bone Spring Formation of the Northern Delaware Basin is investigated using both 3D seismic and petrophysical data. An integrated Vail-Galloway sequence stratigraphic approach was adopted to account for the ... -
HIGH RESOLUTION MICROSCOPY OF ANTIMONIDE HETEROSTRUCTURES AND STREPSIPTERA EYES
(2019-01-25)We study different Antimonide heterostructure resulting from a calibration step for infrared photodetector and infrared laser. Using SEM and AFM, we found a trend in the density of surface features on Antimonide heterostructures ... -

(2019-08-01)A high-resolution sequence stratigraphic investigation integrating 3D seismic with petrophysics of the Leonardian Bone Spring Formation, Northern Delaware Basin, New Mexico reveals the sedimentologic process-response ... -
High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the Leonardian Bone Spring Formation Outcrop of Bone Canyon, Guadalupe Mountains, West Texas and its Correlation to the Subsurface
(2020-05)The purpose of this Thesis is to analyze the Upper Leonardian Bone Spring Formation, Cutoff Formation, and Early Guadalupian Brushy Canyon Formation in the outcrop of Bone Canyon located along the Western Escarpment of the ... -
High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the NPRA, North Slope, Alaska
(2019)The deposition of sediment in the Ikpikpuk-Umiat Basin of the NPRA has been governed by four distinct tectonic phases: 1) Franklinian crustal shortening, 2) Ellesmerian continental sag, 3) Beaufortian continental rifting, ... -
