(2020-03-26)This research investigates and addresses potential process safety issues with scaling up two-dimensional nanomaterial synthesis. The area of nanomaterial, particularly MXenes and graphite oxide (GO), was chosen because of ...
-
(2017-07-27)Although hydrate formation phenomenon has been identified for many years, this is still one of the most challenging problems in oil & gas industry as they are associated with flow assurance problems and safety issues. ...
-
(2021-06-04)Ensuring safe operation is critical in chemical industries considering potential risks to life, environment and equipment. The objective of the research is to develop a transformative approach for addressing safety concerns ...
-
(2012-02-14)In the area of process safety, many efforts have focused on studying methods to prevent the transition of the state of the system from a normal state to an upset and/or catastrophic state, but many unexpected changes are ...
-
(2016-09-02)It is collectively understood that the best quality science is needed to inform policy decisions; however, what constitutes quality science or how much scientific evidence is needed to make an informed decision is usually ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This research evaluates and improves capabilities incorporated in the Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) modeling system for tracking salt loads, particularly for applications dealing with natural salt pollution problems ...

Salt Exclusion and Alkaline Soil Tolerance of Common Muscadine and Bunch Grape Rootstock Cultivars (2018-11-28)Bunch grapes (Vitis spp.) are classified as moderately salt tolerant. However, little is known about the salt tolerance of muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia) grapes. The objective of this research was to evaluate the salt ...
-
(2017-07-11)Hydrologic changes have affected coastal ecosystem sustainability along the Texas coast and throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Human utilization of coastal ecosystems has led to the alteration of tidal hydrology. These ecosystems ...
-
(2012-10-04)This study was undertaken to investigate mobile salt and its effect on fault structures and gas hydrate occurrence in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Industry 2-D multichannel seismic data were used to investigate the ...
-
(2013-08-27)Global climate change threatens the survival of microtidal wetlands by altering fundamental hydrological aspects such as precipitation patterns and tidal exchange. The combination of these stressors results in increased ...
-
(2014-07-30)The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the causes and effects of existential despair and estrangement on man, and additionally the methods in which man can be saved from them by Christ, as found in seminal works of ...
