Laboratory Analysis of Vortex Dynamics For Shallow Tidal Inlets
(2010-10-12)
Estuaries depend on the transport of nutrients and sediments from the open sea
to help maintain a prosperous environment. One of the major transport mechanisms
is the propagation of large two dimensional vortical structures. ...
Experimental investigation of caustic steam injection for heavy oils
(2010-01-16)
An experimental study has been conducted to compare the effect of steam injection and caustic steam injection in improving the recovery of San Ardo and Duri heavy oils. A 67 cm long x 7.4 cm O.D (outer diameter), steel ...
The Seismic Stratigraphy and Sedimentation along the Ninetyeast Ridge
(2010-10-12)
The Ninetyeast Ridge (NER) is a ~5000 km-long aseismic volcanic ridge trending NS
in the eastern Indian Ocean basin. It is widely accepted that NER formed from the trace of
a single hotspot as the Indian plate moved ...
Non-Linear Drying Diffusion and Viscoelastic Drying Shrinkage Modeling in Hardened Cement Pastes
(2010-07-14)
The present research seeks to study the decrease in diffusivity rate as relative
humidity (RH) decreases and modeling drying shrinkage of hardened cement paste as a
poroviscoelastic respose. Thin cement paste strips of 0.4 ...
A Novel Design Testing the Effects of Static and Dynamic Equibiaxial Stretch Gradients on Fibroblast Cell Migration
(2011-02-22)
The study of mechanobiology and the cellular response to the mechanical environment plays a vital role in the understanding of the atherogenesis and the treatment of the disease state through interventions such as stent ...
Using Ungulate Occupancy to Evaluate a Biosphere Reserve Design in Tambopata, Peru
(2010-10-12)
Conservation areas in tropical forests protect the most diverse and threatened ecosystems on the planet. In the Amazon, ungulates are important to forest structure and diversity, but are also food for rural people. I ...
Automated Vehicle Articulation and Animation: A Maxscript Approach
(2011-02-22)
This thesis presents an efficient, animation production-centric solution to the articulation
and animation of computer generated automobiles for creating animations with a high
degree of believability. The thesis has two ...
Development of equations to determine the increase in pavement condition due to treatment and the rate of decrease in condition after treatment for a local agency pavement network.
(2010-07-14)
Cost effective maintenance of pavement sections requires timely preventive maintenance
and planned rehabilitation treatments. Knowledge of the increase in condition due to
application of treatment and the loss of condition ...
Characterization of the Femoral Neck Region’s Reponse to the Rat Hindlimb Unloading Model through Tomographic Scanning, Mechanical Testing and Estimated Strengths
(2011-02-22)
Bone quality and the conditions that affect it make up a large field of study. One specific area of interest is the loss in bone strength during exposure to microgravity. The femoral neck (FN) region in particular is an ...
A Technical and Economic Study of Completion Techniques In Five Emerging U.S. Gas Shale Plays
(2010-07-14)
methane and other higher order hydrocarbons, through C4, with interest in further
developing reactions important to methane- and ethane-related chemistry.
With the increased demand for energy and the declining conventional ...
