Developing Guidelines for the Selection of Appropriate Fracture Models in the Numerical Simulation of Ultra-Low Permeability Reservoirs
(2018-01-22)
The prediction of production from stimulated ultra-low permeability (ULP) media using
numerical simulation is thought to be highly correlated with the type of fracture model
used in the simulator. Although there are some ...
Integration of Flow Extension, Water Reallocation and Drought Monitoring and Forecasting in Multi-Purpose River/Reservoir System Management
(2018-10-17)
Population and economic growth have contributed to increasing water uses while available water resources are limited. Recently, the occurrence and damage of drought are increasing worldwide due to the impact of climate ...
Analysis of Experimental PIV/PTV Measurements on a Matched-Index-of-Refraction 61-Pin Wire-Wrapped Hexagonal Fuel Bundle
(2018-12-05)
In nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics modeling, detailed coolant velocity fields are essential
to accurately anticipating flow induced vibrations and temperature distributions in
the coolant and pins. Predictive computational ...
Characterization of the Tomato SnRK1 Complex Activity and Its Role in Bacterial Infection
(2018-06-01)
The Sucrose non-fermenting related kinase 1 (SnRK1) complex is a hetero trimer found in plants consisting of a catalytic a-subunit and regulatory b and g subunits. The SnRK1 complex can regulate a variety of metabolic ...
Relationship Between Erodibility and Properties of Soils
(2018-11-09)
The objective of this study was to develop equations correlating the erosion resistance of a
soil to its geotechnical properties. Existing erosion tests and erosion correlations are documented.
Around 200 erosion tests, ...
An Area Efficient Thermal Energy Harvester with Reconfigurable Capacitor Charge Pump for IoT Applications
(2017-07-24)
Renewable energy sources are promising alternatives to a battery. Due to the varying power profile of renewable energy sources, an energy harvester needs the different power management techniques including boosting the ...
Influence of Environmental Disturbances on Hypersonic Crossflow Instability on the HIFiRE-5 Elliptic Cone
(2019-04-11)
Crossflow instabilities on a 2:1 elliptic cone in hypersonic flow have been investigated in the M6QT and ACE wind tunnels at the Texas A&M National Aerothermochemistry and Hypersonics Laboratory. Experiments on a PEEK 38.1% ...
Z-Curve: A Time Difference of Arrivals (TDOA) Based Model for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Signals
(2019-02-18)
Jmjd3, a histone H3K27 demethylase, regulates macrophage and T-cell differentiation, but its role in T-cell trafficking and persistence remains largely unknown. In this dissertation, I show that Jmjd3 deficiency in CD4^+ ...
Mode of Action Study of Para-aminosalicylic Acid and Structure, Function and Inhibitor Study of the Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-2 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(2016-07-13)
Tuberculosis (TB) killed 1.5 million people and rivaled AIDS, becoming the leading cause of death from infectious disease in 2014. The prevalence of multidrug resistant TB has intensified the current therapeutic procedure, ...
Evaluation of Commercial Prebiotic and Probiotic Diet Additives on Growth Performance, Stress Response, and Immunity of Hybrid Striped Bass (Morone chrysops × M. saxatilis)
(2019-04-11)
Aquaculture is a fast-growing industry on a global scale in which the use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutics are being discouraged. Prebiotic and probiotic supplements are promising antibiotic alternatives that may aid ...
