A Well Performance Study of Eagle Ford Shale Gas Wells Integrating Empirical Time-Rate and Analytical Time-Rate-Pressure Analysis
(2015-08-10)
In this work, our purpose is to create a "performance-based reservoir characterization" using production data (measured rates and pressures) from a selected gas condensate region within the Eagle Ford Shale (S. Texas). We ...
Effect of Bioreactor Mode of Operation on Mixed-Acid Fermentations
(2012-10-19)
Using mixed-culture fermentation, the carboxylate platform produces carboxylic acids, which are chemically converted into chemicals and fuels. To optimize the mixed-acid fermentation, different bioreactor configurations ...
Urban-Architectural Design After Exile: Communities in Search of a Minor Architecture
(2012-08-30)
This dissertation analogically applies a framework of minor literary analysis to uniquely political units of the built environment. As urbanism is conventionally understood to be executed per the greatest utility of ...
The Role of Nck in Breast Carcinoma Cell Invasion and Metastasis
(2015-07-15)
The high incidence of invasive breast carcinomas, which accounts for about 90% of all breast cancer-related deaths, underscores the need for new and more effective therapeutic approaches to block the development of the ...
CTCF Contributes to the Regulation of the Ribosomal DNA in Drosophila melanogaster
(2012-02-14)
The 35S rDNA gene clusters on the X and Y chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster are repeats of approximately 150 to 225 copies. Each are transcribed as a single unit by RNA Polymerase I and modified into the 18S, 5.8S, ...
3D Facial Performance Capture From A Single RGBD Camera
(2013-05-28)
Realistic facial animation remains one of the most challenging problems in computer graphics, where facial performance capture of real people has been a key component. The current state-of-the-art technologies used to ...
Inspection, Assessment, and Repair of Grouted Ducts in Post-tensioned Bridge
(2011-02-22)
Segmental post-tensioned (PT) bridges are major structures that carry significant traffic.
Recent investigations of these bridges have identified voids in their ducts. and some of
these exposed strands at these void locations ...
Experimental Measurement of a Model Pipeline Dredge Entrance Loss Coefficient and Modification of a Spreadsheet for Estimating Model Dredge Performance
(2014-04-17)
Cutter suction dredges are used in a multitude of scenarios, as they are mobile and efficient. One such situation includes dredge sites where debris could be present. In a location with the possibility of debris impeding ...
Phenotyping Drought Tolerance in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, L.)
(2014-04-30)
Cotton plant breeders need well-defined phenotypic parameters by which they
can select drought tolerant lines as well as correlate phenotypes to allelic polymorphisms
in the cotton genome. Soil-moisture availability is ...
Non-Destructive Testing of Subsurface Infrastructure using Induced Polarization and Electrical Resistivity Imaging
(2013-07-05)
As of September 2007, there were over 67,000 U.S. bridges in the National Bridge Inventory classified as having unknown foundations. The bridges spanning rivers are of critical importance due to the risks of potential ...
