Selection of fracture fluid for stimulating tight gas reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Essentially all producing wells drilled in tight gas sands and shales are stimulated using
hydraulic fracture treatments. The development of optimal fracturing procedures,
therefore, has a large impact on the long-term ...
Application of landfill gas as a liquefied natural gas fuel for refuse trucks in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The energy consumption throughout the world has increased substantially over the past
few years and the trend is projected to continue indefinitely. The primary sources of
energy are conventional fuels such as oil, natural ...
Molecular studies of avian leukosis virus
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
It was nearly a century ago that the viral etiology of sarcomas and leukemia
(leukosis) in the domestic fowl was first described by Ellerman and Bang, working in
Copenhagen, and Rous in New York. Through the following ...
Determination of heat (mass) transfer from blockages with round and elongated holes in a wide rectangular channel
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Mass transfer experiments were conducted to study the thermal performance
characteristics of blockages with round and elongated holes, positioned in a 12:1
rectangular channel. Naphthalene sublimation technique was adopted ...
Observations and modeling of mixing processes in a fresh water reservoir - Valle de Bravo (Mexico)
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Current understanding of small-scale physical processes, such as mixing, in tropical
water bodies is lacking and observations are scarce at best. This study sheds more
light on these processes through a combined ...
Water-soluble benzophenoxazine dyes: syntheses, derivatization and photophysical studies
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
A set of three benzophenoxazine dyes, two completely soluble and one partially soluble
in aqueous media, has been prepared and their spectroscopic properties examined. These
dyes can be used as either donor or acceptor in ...
In vitro starch digestibility and estimated glycemic index of sorghum products
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Fractions from white and tannin sorghums were processed into extrudates, thick porridges, and breads. The effects of sorghum type and fraction on the in vitro starch availability of the products were evaluated, and the ...
Hydraulic Modeling of Large District Cooling Systems for Master Planning Purposes
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
District Cooling Systems (DCS) have been widely applied in large institutions such
as universities, government facilities, commercial districts, airports, etc. The hydraulic
system of a large DCS can be complicated. They ...
Effect of carbohydrate and carbohydrate-protein supplementation on power performance in collegiate football players performing a simulated game task
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Research has shown conflicting results involving the efficacy of carbohydrateprotein
beverages on athletic performance. Purpose: To examine whether or not power
output during the latter stages in a series of repeated maximal ...
Inhibition and success of prymnesium parvum invasion on plankton communities in Texas, USA and prymnesium parvum pigment dynamics
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Prymnesium parvum Carter, a haptophyte species capable of forming harmful algal blooms (HABs), has been identified in fresh and brackish water habitats worldwide. In Texas, P. parvum blooms have diminished local community ...
