Geology of the McMillan Ranch in Mason, Texas: An Assessment of the Nature of Normal Faults in the Mason Area
(2011-10-21)
Mason, Texas and the surrounding areas have been previously studied and mapped at small scales, showing the large normal faults that cut through the area. Many secondary faults exist close to the large faults, and are not ...
Optimization of VAV AHU Terminal Box Minimum Airflow
(2011-10-21)
Determining the optimal terminal box airflow is a complex process which is influenced by various factors, such as weather condition, supply air temperature, primary air fraction and internal load. A guideline for determination ...
Milk Advertising, Vending Machine Purchases, and Their Health Implications
(2014-07-24)
The United States of America is facing a disease – obesity. In order to combat or attempt to combat this problem, studying specific food groups and who consumes them and why is of upmost importance. This series of papers ...
Analog and Mixed Signal Design towards a Miniaturized Sleep Apnea Monitoring Device
(2014-07-23)
Sleep apnea is a sleep-induced breathing disorder with symptoms of momentary and often repetitive cessations in breathing rhythm or sustained reductions in breathing amplitude. The phenomenon is known to occur with varying ...
Tracer Fluid Flow through Porous Media: Theory Applied to Acid Stimulation Treatments in Carbonate Rocks
(2014-07-29)
Most carbonate rocks are heterogeneous at multiple length scales. These heterogeneities strongly influence the outcome of the acid stimulation treatments which are routinely performed to improve well productivity. At the ...
Measurements and Linear Wave Theory Based Simulations of Vegetated Wave Hydrodynamics for Practical Applications
(2011-10-21)
Wave attenuation by vegetation is a highly dynamic process and its quantification is important for accurately understanding and predicting coastal hydrodynamics. However, the influence of vegetation on wave dissipation is ...
Revising Selected Written Patient Education Materials Through Readability and Concreteness
(2011-10-21)
The current state of much research on written patient education materials (WPEM)
suggests that they are written in a manner that is too difficult even for educated patients
to understand and remember. Much of the research ...
Droplet Impingement Cooling Experiments on Nano-structured Surfaces
(2011-10-21)
Spray cooling has proven to be efficient in managing thermal load in high power applications. Reliability of electronic products relies on the thermal management and understanding of heat transfer mechanisms including those ...
Efficient Lookahead Routing and Header Compression For Multicasting in Networks-On-Chip
(2011-10-21)
With advancing technology, Chip Multi-processor (CMP) architectures have
emerged as a viable solution for designing processors. Networks-On-Chip (NOCs)
provide a scalable communication method for CMP architectures with ...
Microstructure and Strengthening Mechanisms of Highly Textured Cu/Ni Multilayers
(2011-10-21)
In this thesis, I planned to fabricate Cu/Ni metallic multilayers with equal layer thicknesses on different substrates by using magnetic sputtering technique. My objective was to characterize the texture, structure and ...
