Contreras Naranjo, Jose Clemente (2013-11-26)Phenomena occurring when microscopic objects approach planar surfaces are challenging to probe directly because their dynamics cannot be resolved with a sufficiently high spatial/temporal resolution in a non-invasive way, ...
-
Wang, Guanqun (2012-07-16)Self-oscillating reactions have been widely observed and studied since the last century because they exhibit unique behaviors different from the traditional chemical reactions. Self-oscillating systems, such as the ...
-
Liu, Shuhao (2018-11-06)As a result of frequent outbreaks occurring due to poor hygiene and improper sanitation of processing environments, there has been an increasing demand for the development of food-contact surface materials that intrinsically ...
-
Shi, Nan (2014-08-20)Many efforts to develop advanced medical diagnostic capabilities rely on the ability to perform size-based separations of DNA and proteins. Miniaturized formats have potential to provide rapid integrated solutions, but ...

Castellana, Edward Thomas (2009-05-15)The research presented within this dissertation explores the photocatalytic deposition of metal carried out within sealed microfluidic channels. Micro scale patterning of metals inside sealed microchannels is investigated ...
-
Chen, Xiaojia (2009-05-15)Invented in the 1950s, gel electrophoresis has now become a routine analytical method to verify the size of nucleic acids and proteins in molecular biology labs. Conventional gel electrophoresis can successfully separate ...

Nava-Medina, Ilse Belen (2020-06-25)Reducing stress is an important goal in poultry production. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived yeast fermentation product Original XPC (XPC, Diamond V Mills, Cedar Rapids, IA, United States) has been shown to reduce the ...
-
Chen, Zhuo (2013-12-09)In this dissertation, experimental probes and theoretical calculations have been applied to delineate mechanisms of various [2+2] cycloadditions. Besides common experimental observations and transition state theories, this ...
-
Pournik, Maysam (2009-05-15)Success of acid fracturing treatment depends greatly on the created conductivity under closure stress. In order to have sufficient conductivity, the fracture face must be non-uniformly etched while the fracture strength ...
-
Echols, Ian Johnny (2019-10-30)pH sensors are widely used to monitor chemical reactions, environmental conditions, and physiological pH due to the importance of alkalinity/acidity in these applications. Currently, the most widely used techniques for ...
-
Kim, Kibum (2017-04-25)The performance and stress-induced degradation of a-Si:H solar cells with pin and nip stacked structures prepared in the single chamber PECVD have been studied. The property of the i-layer depends on the sequence of film ...

-
Shinde, Abhijeet Bhimrao. (2019-02-04)Einstein’s seminal work on Brownian motion and Perrin’s subsequent experiments showed that colloidal particles in colloidal dispersions obey the same statistical thermodynamics as atoms. The colloid-atom analogy has paved ...
-
Zhang, Lecheng (2015-04-14)In this work, a zirconium phosphate based universal foam stabilizer was developed to stabilize and improve performance of firefighting foam and high expansion liquid natural gas (LNG) suppression foam. With the world’s ...
-
Grabski, Elizabeth 1985- (2012-12-10)Core flooding is a commonly used experimental procedure in the petroleum industry. It involves pressurizing a reservoir rock and flowing fluid through it in the laboratory. The cylindrical rock, called a core, can be cut ...
-
Luo, Bingqing (2016-11-11)Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) has been regarded as one of the next-generation lithography techniques due to its ability to fabricate nanoscale structures with low cost and high throughput. Although both thermal and UV ...
-
Wong, Susanna Wing Man (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Colloidal suspensions of disk-like particles have been of interest in both colloidal and liquid crystal studies because they exhibit unique liquid crystalline phases different from those of rod-like molecules. Disk-like ...
-
He, Peng (2012-02-14)This dissertation investigates the emulsification of aqueous liquid in immiscible organic liquid in various microfluidic environments, and addresses both experimental characterization and theoretical interpretation of the ...
-
Tran, Hau (2013-05-07)In this study, the optimum conditions for wormhole propagation in horizontal well carbonate acidizing was investigated numerically using a horizontal well acidizing simulator. The factors that affect the optimum conditions ...

Modeling the blanketing and warming effect of high expansion foam used for LNG vapor risk mitigation Krishnan, Patrik; Zhang, Bin; Anas, Al-Rabbat; Cheng, Zhengdong; Mannan, M. Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)Natural Gas is a cleaner energy when compared to other sources like oil or coal. Its consumption has been drastically increasing over the past few years and is projected to increase further. Liquefying natural gas is an ...
