Design and Optimize a Two Color Fourier Domain Pump Probe Optical Coherence Tomography System
(2010-01-16)
Molecular imaging using fluorescence spectroscopy-based techniques is
generally inefficient due to the low quantum yield of most naturally occurring
biomolecules. Current fluorescence imaging techniques tag these ...
Performance of Reinforced Concrete Column Lap Splices
(2010-01-14)
Cantilevered reinforced concrete columns with a lap splice of the longitudinal
reinforcement near the base can induce high moment demands on the splice region when
lateral loads are present on the structure. Code design ...
Postmodernity as Thanatos: the Relationship Between Illusion and Needs
(2010-01-16)
Zygmunt Bauman and other postmodernists have argued that postmodernity is characterized by the disintegration of the legitimacy and authority of what has been referred to as grand narratives or "illusions." These theorists ...
Particle Size Distribution of Gypseous Samples
(2010-01-16)
Particle size distribution (PSD) of gypseous soils is important in the soil science community. When gypsum constitutes a major portion of the soil, its removal prior to PSD analysis distorts the results and may lead to ...
Using Decline Map Anlaysis (DMA) to Test Well Completion Influence on Gas Production Decline Curves in Barnett Shale (Denton, Wise, and Tarrant Counties)
(2010-01-14)
The increasing interest and focus on unconventional reservoirs is a result of the
industry's direction toward exploring alternative energy sources. It is due to the fact that
conventional reservoirs are being depleted at ...
Rotational-Vibrational Raman Spectroscopy for Measurements of Thermochemistry in Non-isobaric Environments
(2010-01-14)
The present work examines line measurements of pressure, temperature, and
density in high speed, non-isobaric flows emanating from an underexpanded jet nozzle.
Line images of rotational and vibrational Raman spectra are ...
Occupant Evaluation of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certified Health Centers
(2010-01-14)
Globally, concern for natural resource depletion is growing. The healthcare industry is
looking to improve healthcare environments by improving design and using better
resources. The U.S. Green Building Council has created ...
An Advisory System For Selecting Drilling Technologies and Methods in Tight Gas Reservoirs
(2010-01-16)
The supply and demand situation is crucial for the oil and gas industry during the first half of the 21st century. For the future, we will see two trends going in opposite directions: a decline in discoveries of conventional ...
Environmental and Microbiological Characteristics of Managed Urban Turfgrass Systems
(2010-01-16)
A two-year study was conducted in which soil solution, drainage water, and soil
core samples were taken from three turfgrass test plots and two sports fields, located on
the Texas A&M University campus. The goal was to ...
Experimental Study of In Situ Combustion with Tetralin and Metallic Catalysts
(2010-01-16)
Experimental studies showed the feasibility of adding metallic catalysts and
tetralin for the upgrade and increased recovery of heavy oil during the in situ combustion
process. Further experimental studies also showed the ...
