A Flexible Schema-Aware Mapping of XML Data into Relational Models
(2016-08)
In the last several years, substantial contributions have been made in the development of techniques to transform and store eXtensible Markup Language (XML) data into relational database models. Although there exists rich ...
Assessing the impact of non-conventional observation types on high-resolution 3DVAR analyses and ARW-WRF forecasts
(2016-12)
This work looks at the impact on high-resolution analyses and forecasts of several non-conventional data types available within the Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) Urban Testbed. A major focus is an evaluation of the added value ...
A Diagenetic and Paleomagnetic Study of the Woodford Shale, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
(2017)
Two Woodford Shale cores from the Anadarko Basin (Core A, Core C) and one oriented Woodford Shale core from the Ardmore Basin near the Ouachita thrust zone (Core B) were sampled in order to identify diagenetic events, ...
Red Dirt Resilience: Enduring Narratives of Oklahoma Environmental Activism
(2016-05-13)
This thesis explores the relationship between dominant narratives of Oklahoma identity and counter-narratives of Oklahoma identity. I consider how the dominant narrative of Oklahoma identity is constructed in relationship ...
An Apparatus to study matter-wave quantum optics in sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates
(2017)
Spin-exchange collisions in quantum degenerate gases act as a nonlinear interaction that creates entanglement between atoms in different spin states. Therefore, they make it possible to study matter-wave quantum nonlinear ...
Thiosulfate Reduction in Halanaerobium: A Genomic and Physiological Investigation
(2017-12-06)
Bacteria that produce sulfide have been investigated for their role in corrosion of steel surfaces. Attention has mainly focused on bacteria able to reduce sulfate to sulfide (SRB). However, bacteria that produce sulfide ...
Epizoic Diatom Assemblages on Freshwater Turtles
(2016-05)
Although freshwater turtles and their epibiotic hosts are a good model for studying epibiotic interactions (including basking, the effects of turtle species, and geographic variation), information on diatom-turtle relationships ...
Optimal Facility Location for Interdependent Infrastructure Network Recovery
(2017-05)
Modern communities heavily depend on critical infrastructure networks such as power, water, transportation, telecommunications, gas, etc. Since daily life requires these networks to be operational, it is important that ...
Left Out?: The Political Left in Contemporary German Politics
(2016)
This thesis argues that the left wing in Germany is primed to form a governing coalition in Germany following ten years of center-right rule. Thuringia is the case study within this paper because of the unique position of ...
Effect of Carbon Nanotubes on Moisture Absorption Properties of Epoxy Laminates
(2016-08)
There have been conflicting studies for how multi-walled carbon nanotube reinforcement will affect the moisture absorption properties of an epoxy laminate. The carbon nanotubes were meant to act as a hindrance for the ...
