Gas Deliverability Using the Method of Distributed Volumetric Sources
(2010-01-15)
Productivity index (PI) is an important indicator of a well?s production capacity.
For conventional reservoirs, well productivity is usually calculated using the pressure
response of the reservoir in its pseudosteady-state ...
Iterative Damage Index Method for Structural Health Monitoring
(2011-02-22)
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an effective alternative to conventional inspections
which are time-consuming and subjective. SHM can detect damage early and reduce
maintenance cost and thereby help reduce the ...
Arginine and Conjugated Linoleic Acid Reduce Fat Mass in Rats
(2010-10-12)
We hypothesized that subcutaneous (s.c.) adipose tissue would differ in
monounsaturated (MUFA) and saturated fatty acid (SFA) composition among different depots throughout a beef carcass. To test this, 50 carcasses from ...
FAILURE PREDICTION AND STRESS ANALYSIS OF MICROCUTTING TOOLS
(2010-07-14)
Miniaturized devices are the key producing next-generation microelectro-mechanical products. The applications extend to many fields that demand high-level tolerances from microproducts and component functional and structural ...
THE MEDIA’S PLACE IN RELIGIOUS INDIVIDUALISM: A CASE STUDY OF LAKEWOOD CHURCH
(2010-01-16)
This thesis addresses how the Joel Osteen ministry uses mass media at its Lakewood church, located in Houston, Texas, and at its services around the nation. I studied this ministry?s religious use of media to understand ...
Recovery of Carboxylic Acids from Fermentation Broth via Acid Springing

Using Local Information for Compositing CG Into Traditional Art
(2010-01-16)
I describe a procedure for compositing digital graphics into traditional artwork based
on local characteristics of the art. This is based on understanding that variations
in pictorial characteristics such as perspective, ...
YOUTUBE, POWERPOINT, AND TUTORS: THE IMPACT OF OUT-OF-CLASS LEARNING OPTIONS ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE
(2010-01-16)
This research project sought to measure how students in large-classroom
environments respond to supplemental, out-of-class learning options. Is their
performance positively impacted by tutoring or by online, always-accessible ...
Assessment of grouts for constructability and durability of post-tensioned bridges
(2010-01-16)
Post-tensioned (PT) bridge technology was first introduced in France in the 1930?s as
described in the post-tensioned concrete bridges: Anglo-French liaison report by
Highway Agency and is widely used in Europe and the US. ...
Production Trends of Shale Gas Wells
(2010-01-14)
To obtain better well performance and improved production from shale gas
reservoirs, it is important to understand the behavior of shale gas wells and to identify
different flow regions in them over a period of time. It ...
