(1980)A study was made to determine the effect of an electrolyte, namely sodium chloride(NaCl), on the apparent viscosity of coal suspensions in water. This required a fundamental study of the behavior of the second electro-viscous ...
-
(2014-08-06)Clays have been used for centuries as ‘ancient medicine’ for their therapeutic benefits. One particular clay, calcium montmorillonite, has historically been used as an anti-caking agent in animal feeds, but has also ...
-
(1977)Cesium selectivity (kg) exponentially increased as Cs saturation decreased in the <0.2μm clay fraction and possibly in the 2-0.2μm clay and 20-2μm silt fractions of the lignite associated shale. The <0.2μm clay fraction ...

(2011-05-10)Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus fungi. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most toxic and is a potent carcinogen with antinutritional and immunosuppressive effects. Several natural ...
-
(2021-07-08)During natural and manmade disasters such as floods and chemical spills, hazardous chemicals can be mobilized in the environment and affect water and food sources. Practical and economically-feasible technologies are needed ...
-
(2020-01-30)Soil water availability influences the physiological, structural, and functional properties of plants. The physical properties of the soil play an important role in determining water availability, and shapes both the root ...
-
(2012-07-16)Clays which exist in formations in the vicinity of injection and disposal wells is a worldwide problem in the petroleum industry. Clays can be categorized as two major groups: swelling clays, which include smectite group ...
-
(2021-07-09)Molecular recognition comprises the noncovalent interaction of two or more binding partners and is central to many biological processes and designed agents for therapeutic or environmental applications. In this doctoral ...
-
(2019-05-21)Reactive nature of steam and clay minerals may lead to formation damage and flow assurance issues. This dissertation presents experimental investigation of oil recovery and changes in petrophysical properties as a function ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)The objective of this research is the development of a new constitutive model to describe the behavior of cohesive soils under time dependent loading. In the work presented here, the modified SIMPLE DSS model is expanded ...
-
(2018-10-04)Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) and polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) have become materials of interest due to their potential applications. As for every other material, understanding their properties under conditions ...

-
(2016-05-04)Accurate prediction of key reservoir rock properties (lithology, porosity and permeability) with seismic techniques requires a comprehensive understanding of how these rock properties are related to their seismic response ...
-
(2019-11-25)Offshore conductors are an integral part of the oil and gas well and they support the motions from the riser, which are usually subjected to environmental loads. These structures are designed to meet requirements for ...
