(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Relatively little is known about marine controlled-source electromagnetic surveys (MCSEM) used to detect hydrocarbon reservoirs. Typical MCSEM require the use of inversion to generate a model of the subsurface. We utilize ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The objective of my research is to revive and practice the art of traditional pictorial maps in 3D cartographic visualization. I have chosen to create both graphical and statistical pictorial maps which can be used for ...
-
(2013-08-01)Most spacecraft are designed to be maneuvered to achieve pointing goals. This is generally accomplished by designing a three-axis control system. This work explores new maneuver strategies when only two control inputs are ...
-
(2012-07-16)Problems involving coupled thermo-poro-chemo-mechanical processes are of great importance in geothermal and petroleum reservoir systems. In particular, economic power production from enhanced geothermal systems, effective ...
-
(2012-07-16)A fundamental problem in spacecraft proximity operations is the determination of the 6 degree of freedom relative navigation solution between the observer reference frame and a reference frame tied to a proximal body. For ...
-
(2019-04-15)When it comes to reactor power monitoring, the old adage is the more information the better. An undetected hot spot or unexpected power shift could cause an early shutdown of the plant and have economic consequences. ...
-
(2020-02-26)Vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and thrombosis, are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite major advancements to develop therapeutic interventions, the pathophysiology as it applies to ...
-
(2019-11-07)This work introduces a structural composite material enabled by 3D printing technologies. The composite consists of a 3D-printed frame filled with another material for property enhancement. Unlike traditional composites ...
-
(2017-07-27)According to the 2017 outlook on energy conducted by the EIA, the production of natural gas from shale reservoirs is expected to increase by 2040. This increase is dependent on multiple factors like technology, resources, ...
-
(2020-10-29)Conventional rotordynamic analyses generally simplify the rotor, neglecting detailed geometrical characteristics. However, in modern rotating machines, rotors consist of multiple complex-shaped parts that are usually ...
-
(2012-02-14)The date for the formation of the Benton Uplift, Ouachita orogeny, is bracketed by Carboniferous synorogenic sediments deposited to the north and Late Pennsylvanian to Early Permian isotopic dates from the weakly metamorphosed ...
-
(2020-04-13)3D printing can manufacture polymer components with customized shapes and intricate structures easily without pre-made molds. When fabricated with responsive materials, smart 3D printed components experience shape morphing ...
-
(2021-04-15)Human pose estimation is a challenging computer vision task and often hinges on carefully handcrafted architectures. This paper aims to be the first to apply Neural Architectural Search (NAS) to automatically design a ...
-
(2022-04-18)Reservoirs in the Arabian Gulf, home to some of the world’s largest oil reserves, consist primarily of heterogeneous carbonate rocks and successfully recovering hydrocarbons from them is a challenge. With existing technologies, ...
-
(2023-08-03)The steady global deployment of 5G has enabled advancements in quality of service and introduced new standards that allow for better utilization of heterogeneous access networks. While existing functionality such as WiFi ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)In this thesis, a 6-beam combiner using multiplexed holograms in dye-doped polymer is investigated. It is realized by recording six superimposed holographic gratings, which show uniform diffraction efficiency. The coupled ...
-
(2012-10-19)Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is considered as a slow imaging technique. Various approaches to accelerate MRI imaging have been explored by researchers in the past decades. Earlier gradient based methods have reached ...
-
(2009-05-15)Emerging technologies in parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with massive receiver arrays have paved the way for ultra-fast imaging at increasingly high frame rates. With the increase in the number of receiver channels ...
-
(2017-04-28)No Man’s Land Sink is one of the largest inland lakes on the Little Bahama Bank in the northern Bahamas, so its paleoenvironmental history may provide insight into how the regional hydroclimate and groundwater systems ...
-
(2013-07-16)6d (2, 0) theory on M5 branes is investigated by considering its KK modes on a 2d space. Selecting KK modes on different 2d spaces amounts to choosing different set of selfdual strings as the perturbative degrees of freedom ...
