Sebastian, Roshan (2019-04-04)The effect of oil spills in marine environment has resulted in huge negative environmental impacts and economic loss. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010 is the most recent, and the worst spill in the world, which ...
-
Anantraksakul, Niwit (2020-04-15)The analysis of production from fractured Ultra-Low Permeability (ULP) reservoirs is routinely conducted using numerical simulation, which requires large 3D grids, a very large number of time-steps, numerous input data, ...
-
Zou, ChunLei (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Since the oil price has been stable at a high level, operators are trying to maximize their production to get maximum return of investment. To achieve this objective, all kinds of well stimulation technologies are applied ...
-
Lim, Young (2015-07-16)The development of well-defined polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) as delivery carriers for antimicrobials targeting human infectious diseases requires rational design of the polymer template, an efficient synthetic approach ...
-
Cui, Jingyuan (2015-11-19)Fractured well performance diagnosis for a multiple-stage fractured horizontal well is critical to understand and improve fracture stimulation design. Temperature distribution data (by production logging tools or fiber-optic ...
-
Mejia Mejia, Andres Fernando Fernando (2013-07-25)Many materials and biological systems in nature are suspensions composed of disks, such as clay, asphaltenes, and red blood cells. Despite their natural abundance and wide industrial application, disks are least studied ...
-
Chang, Ya-Wen (2012-10-19)Controlling the assembly of amphiphilic molecules and micron-sized, disk-shaped particles at different length scales into ordered structures enables bottom-up organization which is of great interest to emerging technologies ...
-
Shah, Smit Alkesh (2019-09-05)Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are unique for their high surface-to-volume ratio and high aspect ratio making them useful in a range of applications. Graphene and MXenes are such 2D nanosheets and have great potential ...
-
Zhang, Shumao (2017-11-07)The zirconium-doped hafnium oxide (ZrHfO) high-k thin film has excellent gate dielectric properties, such as a higher crystallization temperature, a lower defect density, and a larger effective k value. As a promising ...
-
Lin, Yan-Ru (2017-03-14)Throughout the process industries, there have been numerous fire and explosion incidents related to aerosols. Aerosols may form from rapid condensation of vapor or accidental leakage of pressurized liquid. However, their ...
-
Arman, Bedri (2012-10-19)We investigated dynamic response of Cu46Zr54 metallic glass under adiabatic planar shock wave loading (one-dimensional strain) with molecular dynamics simulations, including Hugoniot (shock) states, shock-induced plasticity, ...
-
Pullela, Srinivasa (2010-01-16)This dissertation investigates the self assembly and automatic oscillation of intelligent poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) [PNIPAM] microgel particles. The equilibrium phase diagram as a function of temperature and concentration ...
-
Bagaria, Pranav (2019-04-05)Dust explosions have led to numerous fatalities, injuries and property loss. Standards (ASTM, ISO etc.) mention a 20 L or a 1 m^3 apparatus to measure explosion parameters. These standards assume the dust particle size ...
-
Oh, Jun Kyun (2016-10-17)The aim of this research was to investigate the potential of silica-based surface modification methods to prevent bacterial attachment to material surfaces. This dissertation presents the sol-gel method, reactive-ion etching ...
-
Mejia, Jose Carlos (2017-08-16)Isotropic suspensions of colloidal nanoplates are of potential use in electronic displays. Electric field induced-birefringence and the response time of platelets are the two most relevant important properties for display ...
-
Okeibunor, Ugochukwu David (2020-05-07)The nematic phase represents the most fluid liquid crystalline phase. The high shape anisotropy and long range orientational order of constituent particles in this phase yields wide-ranging applications from high strength ...
-
Bahukudumbi, Pradipkumar (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Chemically and physically patterned surfaces can be used as templates to guide nano- and micro- scale particle assembly, but the design is often limited by an inability to sufficiently characterize how pattern features ...
-
Wang, Xuezhen (2016-12-02)Layered zirconium phosphate (ZrP), particularly α-ZrP, is crystalline two-dimensional material with a hexagonal shape. Plenty of free hydroxide groups are available on the surface, which provides ZrP a great potential for ...
