A key part of the founding myth of the University of Oklahoma is the imagery of its first president, David Ross Boyd, combing the untamed territory in a buggy for potential students, promising that “no one will find he is ...
Comparative Study of Pore Structure Characterization for Different Rock Samples Using Digital Images
(2019-12)
Due to the scarcity in supply of energy and slumping production from conventional reservoirs, exportation from unconventional tight shale reservoirs has received considerable scholarly attention in recent years. However, ...
RACE, GENDER AND HEALTH LITERACY IN THE MEDICAL ENCOUNTER: A TEST OF CULTURAL HEALTH CAPITAL AND STATUS CHARACTERISTICS THEORY
(2016-05-13)

Road Culvert Impacts on Stream Fish Community Structure in Eastern Oklahoma
(2019-05)
Road culverts threaten the Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains regions of Oklahoma with habitat fragmentation and loss of aquatic biodiversity. This region of Oklahoma is understudied when it comes to this issue. Fishes within ...
Verification of 10-Meter Wind Forecasts from NSSL-WRF in Predicting Severe Wind-Producing MCSs
(2016-12-16)
Predicting convective winds associated with mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) remains a major challenge for operational severe weather forecasters. To assess the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model ...
Evaluating the Use of Entropy Field Decomposition in Resting State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis
(2017)
The study of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data has been the subject of increasing academic interest over the past decade. Despite a growing understanding of the base activity networks ...
SHIFTS OF SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES IN ALASKAN TUNDRA IN RESPONSE TO LONG-TERM WARMING
(2016-08)
Permafrost regions store about 33% of the world’s soil organic carbon, and are believed to rapidly respond to global warming. The degradation and release of previously stored organic carbon stocks lead to positive feedbacks, ...
Automatic picking and classification of acoustic emission event arrivals
(2010)
Accurate automatic classification and picking of arrival times of events from acoustic emission (AE) signals is of considerable importance for rapid identification and location of seismic events. Due to the large number ...
EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BRINE IN CRUDE OIL EMULSIONS AND ITS PERFORMANCE IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
(2018)
Understanding the behavior of water in oil emulsions can prevent flow assurance problems and the conditions at which these two fluids can mix. The stability and rheology of water in crude oil emulsions was studied for three ...
ANHYDRITE NUCLEATION AND GROWTH AT LOW TEMPERATURES: EFFECTS OF FLOW RATE, ACTIVITY OF WATER, AND MINERAL SUBSTRATES
(2017-05)
Understanding calcium sulfate mineral formation is crucial to understanding depositional environments and diagenetic conditions on and near the martian surface where calcium sulfates with varying hydration states have been ...
