Application of the Continuous EUR Method to Estimate Reserves in Unconventional Gas Reservoirs
(2010-10-12)
Reserves estimation in unconventional (low/ultra-low permeability) reservoirs has become a topic of increased interest as more of these resources are being developed, especially in North America. The estimation of reserves ...
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 ...
Systematics, Evolution, and Taxonomy of the Genus Aphelinus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)
(2016-07-27)
Aphelinus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) is a genus of parasitoid wasps that has a long history of use in biological control programs against aphids. Past research shows that the classification of Aphelinus is greatly complicated ...
Microfluidic Acoustic System to Generate Aged Yeast for Cell Aging Studies
(2015-05-07)
The mechanisms and causes of aging, the greatest risk factor of disease, are poorly understood. This lack of knowledge—specifically in relation to the aging of single biological cells—results from limitations in the methods ...
Ductile Fracture under Combined Tension and Shear: Theory and Applications
(2019-04-11)
Fracture causes enormous material and energy waste per annum, with large economical, industrial and environmental impact. In particular, ductile failure under shear-dominated loading pervades in many areas of manufacturing, ...
Application of Ensemble-based Optimization on UNISIM-I
(2017-04-27)
In reservoir management, it is challenging to obtain an efficient production schedule and maximize the profits. An optimization workflow is usually used in maximizing/minimizing the production objective. However, production ...
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Solar Radiation in the Himalaya: Topographic Forcing and Glacier Dynamics
(2019-10-30)
Glaciers across the Himalaya exhibit significant spatial variations in morphology and dynamics. Climate, topography and debris cover variations are thought to significantly affect glacier fluctuations and glacier sensitivity ...
Not Just Another Brick in the Wall: An XRF Study of the Port Royal Bricks
(2019-10-30)
This thesis describes the research undertaken to determine the origins of bricks recovered during the underwater excavations of Port Royal, Jamaica, conducted from 1981-1990. To evaluate where these bricks were made, X-ray ...
The Secret Lives of Battery Materials: Core-Level Spectroscopy as a Probe of Compositional and Electronic Structure Inhomogeneities
(2018-05-30)
The invention of rechargeable batteries has dramatically changed our landscapes and lives, underpinning the explosive worldwide growth of consumer electronics, ushering in an unprecedented era of electric vehicles, and ...
