Predicting Community Preference of Comments on the Social Web
(2010-07-14)
Large-scale socially-generated metadata is one of the key features driving the growth
and success of the emerging Social Web. Recently there have been many research efforts
to study the quality of this metadata - like ...
Green Water Flow Kinematics and Impact Pressure on a Three Dimensional Model Structure
(2011-10-21)
Flow kinematics of green water due to plunging breaking waves interacting with a simplified, three-dimensional model structure was investigated in laboratory. Two breaking wave conditions were tested: one with waves impinging ...

Spatial Analysis of Residential Development and Urban-Rural Zoning in Baltimore County, Maryland
(2011-10-21)
Over the past half-century, Baltimore County, Maryland has experienced various policy measures that have shaped development patterns. This thesis analyzes three spatially explicit parcel-level models of residential development ...
High-Resolution Characterization of Reservoir Heterogeneity and Connectivity in Clastic Environments
(2011-10-21)
This study developed new concepts and interpretative methods for mapping reservoir heterogeneity and connectivity of a fault controlled Wilcox clastic reservoir in Texas, USA. The application of high-resolution seismic ...
Characterization of Filter Cake Buildup and Cleanup under Dynamic Fluid Loss Conditions
(2011-10-21)
Hydraulic fracturing is a popular stimulation method in tight gas and shale gas reservoirs that uses a viscous fluid to fracture the reservoir rock and uniformly transport proppant to create a highly conductive path that ...
Dynamic and Static Characteristics of a Rocker-Pivot, Tilting-Pad Bearing with 50% and 60% Offsets.
(2012-02-14)
Static performance and rotordynamic coefficients are provided for a rocker-pivot, tilting-pad journal bearing with 50 and 60 percent offset pads in a load-between-pad configuration. The bearing uses leading-edge-groove ...
On the Thermomechanical Behavior of Epoxy Polymers: Experiments and Modeling
(2012-02-14)
Amorphous polymers under their glass transition temperature (Tg) exhibit large
inelastic deformations. Their mechanical behavior is highly dependent upon temperature,
strain rate, pressure and loading mode (tension, ...
The Regulation of Growth Factor Signaling in Drosophila Development and Disease
(2012-02-14)
Developmental signaling pathways have many diverse roles throughout the life of an organism. The proper regulation of these pathways is essential for normal development, and misregulation can lead to diseases such as cancer. ...
Essays on Economic and Environmental Analysis of Taiwanese Bioenergy Production on Set-Aside Land
(2012-02-14)
Domestic production of bioenergy by utilizing set-aside land in Taiwan can reduce
Taiwan’s reliance on expensive and politically insecure foreign fossil fuels while also
reducing the combustion of fossil fuels, which emit ...
