Assessment of API Thread Connections Under Tight Gas Well Conditions
(2010-01-14)
The modern oil and gas industry of America has seen most of the high quality, easily obtainable resources,
already produced, thus causing wells to be drilled deeper in search for unconventional resources. This
means Oil ...
Flux Measurements of Volatile Organic Compounds from an Urban Tower Platform in Houston, Texas: Trends and Tracers
(2014-05-08)
Energy and trace gas fluxes were measured from anthropogenic and biogenic
emission sources in the Houston urban surface layer. Air sampling from a tall tower
platform began in 2008 and continued through April 2013. A relaxed ...
A Van Gogh inspired 3D Shader Methodology
(2013-08-01)
This study develops an approach to developing surface shading for computer-generated 3D head models that adapts aesthetics from the post-impressionist portrait painting style of Vincent Van Gogh. This research is an attempt ...
Reinforcement Learning Based Controller For Precision Irrigation
(2015-08-21)
Water is a major contributing factor for plant growth and development. Agricultural water management is a major concern for agriculturists, as fresh water resources are being depleted and research in the area of water ...
Determination of Longitudinal Stress in Rails
(2012-02-14)
The objective of this research is to determine the longitudinal stress in rails by using the polarization of Rayleigh waves. Analytical models are developed to describe the effect of applied stress on wave speed and on the ...

(2012-07-16)
This investigation explored the environmental and physiological factors affecting adult blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) arrival and attendance at pig (Sus scrofa domesticus L.) carcasses in Brazos Co, TX in the summer ...
Risk-Taking Behaviors and Impulsivity in Emerging Adults Born Prematurely
(2017-07-03)
Recently there has been an increase in research focusing on the role of sleep in psychological disorders in adolescents and young adults due to both increases in risk-taking behaviors and continued brain development during ...
Evaluation of Greywater and A/C Condensate for Water Reuse: An Approach using Artificial Neural Network Modeling
(2017-05-10)
Alternative resources play a vital role for water-sensitive infrastructures where consistent water supply is a challenge, and freshwater resources are limited. Greywater and A/C condensate are potentially new alternatives ...
Characterization of the Molecular Mechanisms Associated with Circadian Clock Control of Transcription
(2018-11-20)
The mammalian circadian clock, found in virtually every cell, coordinates rhythmic expression to control the daily regulation of biological functions. These cell autonomous circadian clocks rely on a molecular feedback ...
