Digital Radar Implementation With System Response Compensation Through Amplitude Predistortion
(2016-12-16)
Radars traditionally synthesize waveforms by using a variety of analog electronics. These analog components are collectively referred to as the analog chain. A typical electronic analog chain contains multiple components, ...
Doppler Radar Analyses of Tornadic Supercells on 19 May 2013
(2016-05-13)
On 19 May 2013, two supercells moved through central Oklahoma and produced seven tornadoes, including one of EF-3 and one of EF-4 intensity. High temporal and spatial resolution observations were collected in both strong ...
Molecular Evolution of a Na, K-ATPase in Weakly Electric Fish
(2016-12)
African mormyrids and South American gymnotiforms are two independently evolved lineages of weakly electric fish that produce electric organ discharges (EODs) as sensory and communication signals. EOD frequency varies ...
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 ...
Improving fault images using a directional Laplacian of a Gaussian operator
(2016-05)
Fault picking is a critical, but human-intensive component of seismic interpretation. In a bid to improve fault imaging in seismic data, I have applied a directional Laplacian of a Gaussian (dLoG) operator to sharpen fault ...
Seismic signature of sedimentary rocks with CO₂ flooding
(2012)
Surface seismic offers a promising technique to monitor CO₂ flood fronts during enhanced oil recovery process. Changes in seismic signature have been observed with CO₂ flooding but quantification of the seismic signature ...
The Works of Will James: His Contribution to the Mythologizing of the American Cowboy
(2016-12)
The life of Will James is one of mystery. His works, however, tell the story of a life he was meant to live. Born Joseph Ernest Nephtali Dufault in 1892 in Saint-Nazaire-d’Acton, the boy grew up yearning to be a cowboy. ...
IMPACTS OF TELEVISION HUMOR ON VIEWERS’ ENGAGEMENT, ATTITUDES, AND MEMORY: THE MODERATING EFFECTS OF MOTIVATION AND ABILITY
(2016)
This study explores the impact of late-night television humor on viewers’ engagement, attitudes, and memory. Existing literature has pointed to the effects of late-night comedy viewing on attitudes (Young, 2004), candidate ...
LEGACIES OF EMPIRE: GREATER FRANCE FROM COLONIALISM TO TERRORISM
(2016-05)
In this thesis, I argue that the legacies of empire and colonization are influencing the development of French identity and are challenging notions of contemporary French society. I argue that these colonial legacies reached ...
From it to you: An autoethnographic journey with Chinese users of German in Germany
(2016-08)
There are currently several hundred thousand Chinese students studying abroad, yet knowledge about their experiences is mostly limited to anecdote and caricature. This autoethnography provides a more authentic account based ...
