Effective fracture geometry obtained with large water sand ratio
(2009-05-15)
Shale gas formation exhibits some unusual reservoir characteristics: nano-darcy
matrix permeability, presence of natural fractures and gas storage on the matrix
surface that makes it unique in many ways. It’s difficult to ...
Modeling well performance in compartmentalized gas reservoirs
(2009-05-15)
Predicting the performance of wells in compartmentalized reservoirs can be quite
challenging to most conventional reservoir engineering tools. The purpose of this
research is to develop a Compartmentalized Gas Depletion ...
Overwash induced by storm conditions
(2009-05-15)
Erosion problems are not only in the Texas area, but exist also along the coastline
all over the world. Even though many researchers have studied coastal processes
related with beach erosion and deposition over the decades, ...
Functional analysis of the Arabidopsis PHT4 family of intracellular phosphate transporters
(2009-05-15)
The transport of phosphate (Pi) between subcellular compartments is central to
metabolic regulation. Although some of the transporters involved in controlling the
intracellular distribution of Pi have been identified in ...
Incorporation of analgesics into rodent embryo transfer protocols: assessing the effects on reproductive outcomes
(2009-05-15)
Surgical embryo transfer in rodents is a common procedure in today’s research
laboratory, although little is known of the effect analgesics may have on not only the
recipient female but also the embryos. Two perioperative ...
Neutronic analysis of pebble-bed cores with transuranics
(2009-05-15)
At the brink of nuclear waste repository crises, viable alternatives for the long
term radiotoxic wastes are seriously being considered worldwide. Minor actinides serve
as one of these targeted wastes. Partitioning and ...
Completion methods in thick, multilayered tight gas sands
(2009-05-15)
Tight gas sands, coal-bed methane, and gas shales are commonly called
unconventional reservoirs. Tight gas sands (TGS) are often described as
formations with an expected average permeability of 0.1mD or less. Gas
production ...
Neurodegeneration in cerebellar granule cells of p/q type voltage gated calcium channel mutant leaner mice
(2009-05-15)
Mutations of the α1A subunit of CaV 2.1 voltage gated calcium (VGCC) channels
are responsible for several inherited disorders affecting humans, including familial
hemiplegic migraine, episodic ataxia type and spinocerebellar ...
A case study of the perceptions of current and former school board members of a recently annexed, rural, impoverished, South Texas, Latino school district in a high stakes accountability system
(2009-05-15)
This research study was a qualitative study involving eight current or former
school board members of a recently annexed, rural, impoverished, Latino school
district in South Texas. The purpose of this intrinsic case study ...
Laboratory-scale fracture conductivity created by acid etching
(2009-05-15)
Success of acid fracturing treatment depends greatly on the created conductivity
under closure stress. In order to have sufficient conductivity, the fracture face must be
non-uniformly etched while the fracture strength ...
