Application of Ensemble-based Optimization on UNISIM-I
(2017-04-27)
In reservoir management, it is challenging to obtain an efficient production schedule and maximize the profits. An optimization workflow is usually used in maximizing/minimizing the production objective. However, production ...
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Solar Radiation in the Himalaya: Topographic Forcing and Glacier Dynamics
(2019-10-30)
Glaciers across the Himalaya exhibit significant spatial variations in morphology and dynamics. Climate, topography and debris cover variations are thought to significantly affect glacier fluctuations and glacier sensitivity ...
Not Just Another Brick in the Wall: An XRF Study of the Port Royal Bricks
(2019-10-30)
This thesis describes the research undertaken to determine the origins of bricks recovered during the underwater excavations of Port Royal, Jamaica, conducted from 1981-1990. To evaluate where these bricks were made, X-ray ...
The Secret Lives of Battery Materials: Core-Level Spectroscopy as a Probe of Compositional and Electronic Structure Inhomogeneities
(2018-05-30)
The invention of rechargeable batteries has dramatically changed our landscapes and lives, underpinning the explosive worldwide growth of consumer electronics, ushering in an unprecedented era of electric vehicles, and ...
Developing Guidelines for the Selection of Appropriate Fracture Models in the Numerical Simulation of Ultra-Low Permeability Reservoirs
(2018-01-22)
The prediction of production from stimulated ultra-low permeability (ULP) media using
numerical simulation is thought to be highly correlated with the type of fracture model
used in the simulator. Although there are some ...
Integration of Flow Extension, Water Reallocation and Drought Monitoring and Forecasting in Multi-Purpose River/Reservoir System Management
(2018-10-17)
Population and economic growth have contributed to increasing water uses while available water resources are limited. Recently, the occurrence and damage of drought are increasing worldwide due to the impact of climate ...
Analysis of Experimental PIV/PTV Measurements on a Matched-Index-of-Refraction 61-Pin Wire-Wrapped Hexagonal Fuel Bundle
(2018-12-05)
In nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics modeling, detailed coolant velocity fields are essential
to accurately anticipating flow induced vibrations and temperature distributions in
the coolant and pins. Predictive computational ...
Characterization of the Tomato SnRK1 Complex Activity and Its Role in Bacterial Infection
(2018-06-01)
The Sucrose non-fermenting related kinase 1 (SnRK1) complex is a hetero trimer found in plants consisting of a catalytic a-subunit and regulatory b and g subunits. The SnRK1 complex can regulate a variety of metabolic ...
Relationship Between Erodibility and Properties of Soils
(2018-11-09)
The objective of this study was to develop equations correlating the erosion resistance of a
soil to its geotechnical properties. Existing erosion tests and erosion correlations are documented.
Around 200 erosion tests, ...
