Overpressure prediction by mean total stress estimate using well logs for compressional environments with strike-slip or reverse faulting stress state
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Predicting correct pore-pressure is important for drilling applications. Wellbore stability
problems, kicks, or even blow-outs can be avoided with a good estimate of porepressure.
Conventional pore-pressure estimation ...
Reductive dechlorination of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons by Fe(ii) in degradative solidification/stabilization
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation examines the applicability of the iron-based degradative solidification/stabilization (DS/S-Fe(II)) to various chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) that are common chemicals of concern at contaminated ...
A comparison of a Klockenburg style split keyboard and a standard PC keyboard on typing speed and posture
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The current study compares biomechanical and productivity outcomes
related to the use of a Klockenburg (split and angled) style keyboard as opposed
to the use of a standard PC 101 style keyboard among office workers. The ...
Describing the readiness for retention of students of color at state and land-grant colleges of agriculture
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Current demographics indicate that populations of color are on the rise across the United States. Although enrollments of students of color are increasing, first year retention rates are lower compared to their peers. ...
Construction project partnering in Texas' public universities
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Partnering is a tool used in the construction industry to reduce claims and litigations and
also to deliver a quality product in a cost efficient and timely manner. This research
analyzes the impact of the partnering process ...
The theoretical development of a new high speed solution for Monte Carlo radiation transport computations
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Advancements in parallel and cluster computing have made many complex
Monte Carlo simulations possible in the past several years. Unfortunately, cluster
computers are large, expensive, and still not fast enough to make the ...
Molecular cloning and characterization of important stress and redox regulatory genes from Hydra vulgaris
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
In this research, important stress and redox regulatory genes present in
Hydra vulgaris were isolated and characterized to facilitate our understanding of
the evolution and mechanisms of stress response. H. vulgaris heat ...
Study of microfluidic measurement techniques using novel optical imaging diagnostics
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Novel microscale velocity and temperature measurement techniques were studied based on confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and optical serial sectioning microscopy (OSSM). Two microscopic measurement systems were ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and analysis for determination of porous media properties
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging methodologies have
been developed to determine porous media properties associated with fluid flow processes.
This dissertation presents the development of NMR experimental ...
Extensive investigation of reticuloendotheliosis virus in the endangered Attwater's prairie chicken
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) is a retrovirus that causes a neoplastic disease in a wide range of avian hosts including chickens, turkeys, and ducks. In 1993, REV was detected in the endangered Attwater's prairie ...
