Modeling and Applications of Heat Transfer in Wellbore and Its Surrounding Formation
(2019-01-18)
The development of underground oil and gas resources involves significant heat transfer between fluid, downhole tubulars and the surrounding formation. Understanding the heat transfer between wellbore and the surrounding ...
Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy of Bovine Feces for Detection of Southern Cattle Tick "Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus" Infestations
(2019-01-17)
The United States Cattle Fever Tick Eradocation Program serves to prevent the reestablishment of cattle fever ticks (Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) spp.), and the risk of Texas cattle fever from Mexico. The primary detection ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Nanoized Scale Inhibitor for Increased Treatment Lifetime
(2017-06-29)
Scale formation is an ongoing production issue in the oil and gas industry where inorganic salts can form deposits downhole or in production facilities. These deposits can severely hinder production and lead to significant ...

(2019-05-15)
Latina college students may encounter several adjustments while attending colleges and universities in the United States which could adversely affect their mental health, including coping with certain facets of acculturative ...
The Evaluation of Recognizing Aquatic Activities Through Wearable Sensors and Machine Learning
(2019-04-10)
Swimming is a complex and dangerous sport. A recent study found that swimming is the third leading cause of death among children in the world each year. A significant factor contributing to these statistics may be the ...
Systems Analysis to Optimize Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) and Reduce Failure
(2019-03-25)
Building a new optimization system that uses a systems approach and combined optimization approach (in the form of surrogate-based modeling) to produce the optimum Reliability (R(t)), Availability (A(t)), and Maintainability ...
Liquid Crystals of Nanoplate - Kinetics of Phase Transition and Control by External Fields
(2019-02-04)
Einstein’s seminal work on Brownian motion and Perrin’s subsequent experiments showed that colloidal particles in colloidal dispersions obey the same statistical thermodynamics as atoms. The colloid-atom analogy has paved ...
Interaction between a systemic acaricide and immunological control of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini) (Acari:Ixodidae)
(2019-04-10)
Among the global agricultural sectors, livestock production is one of the most developed and dynamic. Breeding and domestication of livestock for food production is an enterprise that promotes economic stability at a global ...
Characterization of the Lantibiotic Salivaricin A2 and Design of an Effective Lantibiotic Mutacin 1140 Analog with In Vivo Efficacy
(2019-02-11)
Lantibiotics are a class of lanthionine-containing, ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) with antimicrobial activities, and are among the most promising candidates of alternative ...
Microfabricated Water-Immersible Scanning Mirrors for Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Imaging
(2019-02-05)
Scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) and photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) techniques have been attracting attention over the past few decades because of their non-invasive and non-ionizing nature. However, current desk-top SAM ...
