Risk Management Strategy for Road Transportation of LNG
(2015-08-04)
A central aim of physical organic chemistry is the elucidation of reaction mechanisms. This knowledge is then usable in the rational control of reactions and the development of new synthetic methodology. A reaction mechanism ...
Coupled Microscale Electrophoresis and Electrochemistry: A Versatile Platform for Label-free Detection, Manufacture of Encapsulated Microbubbles and Protein Crystallization
(2013-12-12)
Microfluidics has geniuses of low consumption of reagents and sample, miniaturization of device, and fast turnaround time for analysis that enables to develop high-speed, high-resolution, portable bio-analysis devices to ...
Clovis Lithic Debitage from Excavation Area 8 at the Gault Site (41BL323), Texas: Form and Function
(2010-07-14)
This dissertation focuses on two portions of the Clovis lithic assemblage recovered from
Excavation Area 8 at the Gault site (41BL323) located in central Texas. Gault is a
quarry-camp visited by hunter-gatherer groups for ...
Study of Impact of Orbit Path, Whirl Ratio and Clearance on the Flow Field and Rotordynamic Coefficients for a Smooth Annular Seal
(2010-10-12)
The study of the effect of different orbit paths and whirl ratios on the
rotordynamic coefficients of a smooth eccentric annular seal, using Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) was performed. The flow was simulated for two ...
Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy [RICS] Analysis of HeLa cells
(2011-02-22)
The objective of the project is to use the RICS analysis technique in complement with
confocal microscopy to determine the diffusion coefficient of the selectively labeled
green fluorescent protein (GFP), GFP-EGFR and ...
Thermo-hydro-mechanical Analysis of Fractures and Wellbores in Petroleum/Geothermal Reservoirs
(2013-08-09)
The thesis considers three-dimensional analyses of fractures and wellbores in low-permeability petroleum/geothermal reservoirs, with a special emphasis on the role of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes. Thermoporoelastic ...
Well Performance Analysis for Low to Ultra-low Permeability Reservoir Systems
(2010-10-12)
Unconventional reservoir systems can best be described as petroleum (oil and/or gas) accumulations
which are difficult to be characterized and produced by conventional technologies. In this work we
present the development ...
Estuarine Conditions and Water Exchange in Fjords of Prince William Sound, Alaska
(2014-01-09)
This dissertation addresses spatial variation in physical properties of small fjords in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska between 1994 and 1997 and circulation and water exchange in 2007 and 2008 at Simpson Bay, a small ...
On the Dialectic of Silence: Klee, Kahn, and the Space of Transversal Modernity in Iran
(2013-12-09)
This dissertation connects the cultural theory of space with specific aesthetic and architectural practices in the history of modernism that are entangled with the past and present of Iran, its artifacts, and its politics. ...
Making Mangroves: Ecologies of Mangrove Restoration in El Salvador, 2011-2013
(2014-05-05)
Mangrove restoration for climate mitigation based in adaptation is a national
environmental policy in the Republic of El Salvador. Rural, resource-reliant
communities are considered especially vulnerable to extreme weather ...
