Scaling Characteristics of Soil Hydraulic Parameters at Varying Spatial Resolutions
(2011-08-08)
This dissertation focuses on the challenge of soil hydraulic parameter scaling in soil hydrology and related applications in general; and, in particular, the upscaling of these parameters to provide effective values at ...
High-Resolution Carbon Isotope Stratigraphy, Pennsylvanian Snaky Canyon Formation, East-Central Idaho: Implications for Regional and Global Correlations
(2012-07-16)
Nearly 550 samples of fine grained carbonates, collected every 0.5 to 1.0 m from the Bloom Member of the Snaky Canyon Formation at Gallagher Peak, Idaho, were analyzed to determine the high-resolution carbon isotope ...
The Analysis and Conservation of Two 18-pounder Carronades from the U.S. Navy Schooner Shark
(2012-07-16)
In February of 2008, two 18-pounder carronades were discovered off the Oregon coast near Arch Cape in Clatsop County. In addition to the carronades, several associated artifacts were collected from the site, including ...
Doctor of Engineering internship report
(Texas A&M University, 2013-03-13)
On January 1, 1975, I accepted a position on the professional staff of
the Senate Armed Services Committee. The Senate Armed Services Committee staff consists of
twenty-four persons -- fourteen professional and ...
High Temperature Materials for Aerospace Applications
(2011-08-08)
Further crosslinking of the fluorinated polyimide was examined to separate the
cure reactions from degradation and to determine the optimum post curing conditions.
Glass transition/melting temperatures were ascertained ...
Effect of Bioreactor Mode of Operation on Mixed-Acid Fermentations
(2012-10-19)
Using mixed-culture fermentation, the carboxylate platform produces carboxylic acids, which are chemically converted into chemicals and fuels. To optimize the mixed-acid fermentation, different bioreactor configurations ...
CTCF Contributes to the Regulation of the Ribosomal DNA in Drosophila melanogaster
(2012-02-14)
The 35S rDNA gene clusters on the X and Y chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster are repeats of approximately 150 to 225 copies. Each are transcribed as a single unit by RNA Polymerase I and modified into the 18S, 5.8S, ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Iso-Reticular Metal-Organic Frameworks and Their Applications for Gas Separations
(2011-10-21)
Nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted tremendous
interest due to their potential applications in gas-storage, gas separation, gas sensing, and
catalysis. MOFs consist of metal-oxygen polyhedera ...
Numerical Investigation of Flow Fields and Forces for 2-D Squeeze Film Dampers
(2011-08-08)
A numerical method is used to predict flow fields and forces for squeeze film dampers (SFDs). A two dimensional SFD is modeled with different amplitudes and frequencies of the journal orbiting inside the wall. In addition ...
