(2017-12-06)Oil production from organic rich shale has grown significantly in the last decade due to the combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. Yet, this primary recovery exploitation scheme exhibits fast production ...
-
(2014-04-18)Gas kicks occur during drilling when the formation pressure is greater than the wellbore pressure causing influx of gas into the wellbore. Uncontrolled gas kicks could result in blowout of the rig causing major financial ...
-
(2012-12-07)Plasma flow physics in magnetic nozzles must be clearly understood for optimal design of plasma propulsion devices. Toward that end, in this thesis we: i) perform an extensive literature survey of magnetic nozzle physics, ...
-
(2016-04-27)This dissertation serves to increase the understanding of applied pulsed plasma. Pulsed plasmas are experimentally studied in three contexts 1) fundamentally as switches, 2) applied in a dense plasma focus (DPF), and 3) ...
-
(2013-07-31)Reducing secondary leakage is a common challenge in numerous machines, particularly in steam and gas turbines. Too large leakage in seals produces a substantial loss in efficiency and power delivery with an increase in ...
-
(2017-01-24)A detailed study of various geometric & flow parameters that influence the film cooling effectiveness of gas turbine blade leading edge region was carried out. The parameters studied include leading edge shape, effect of ...
-
(2012-02-14)Gas viscosity is one of the gas properties that is vital to petroleum engineering. Its role in the oil and gas production and transportation is indicated by its contribution in the resistance to the flow of a fluid both ...
-
(2012-10-19)Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) separates ions on the basis of ion-neutral collision cross-sections (CCS, [omega]), which are determined by the geometry or conformation of the ions. The size-based IM separation can be ...
-
(2012-02-14)Biomass is one of the renewable and non-conventional energy sources and it includes municipal solid wastes and animal wastes in addition to agricultural residue. Concentrated animal feeding operations produce large quantities ...
-
(2009-05-15)Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is highly prevalent in horses and most commonly found in racing and performance horses. This condition may negatively impact the health and athletic performance of affected horses ...
-
(2021-08-19)Objectives. To characterize gastrointestinal transit times and pH in the fasted and fed state in healthy adult cats. Methods. Gastrointestinal transit times and pH in the fasted and fed state were measured in six healthy, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The primary purpose of the study is to explore the connections between residents' perception of safety and their crime experience, and the existence of gates and fences in multi-family housing communities in urban areas. ...
-
(2023-05-18)In this research, we propose a new method of applying the XOR and XNOR gates on exponentially large superpositions in Instantaneous Noise-Based Logic. These new gates are repeat-able, and they can achieve an exponential ...

(2016-08-03)The purpose of this research study was to investigate the link between Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory and deficit thinking on principals’ efforts to decrease dropout rates at their low-income minority high schools. Although ...
-
(2014-07-08)Big Data refers to the complexity, high-dimensionality, and high volume of information which are common features in many contemporary engineering applications. In the context of Big Data, however, specific treatments are ...
-
(2016-04-29)Efforts toward modernizing education are emphasizing the adoption of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to complement conventional teaching methodologies. Intelligent tutoring systems empower instructors to make teaching ...
-
(2018-05-01)The use of authentication systems has increased significantly due to the advancement of technology, greater affordability of devices, increased ease of use, and enhanced functionality. These authentication systems help ...
-
(2012-10-19)As modern CMPs scale to ever increasing core counts, Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) are emerging as an interconnection fabric, enabling communication between components. While NoCs are easy to implement and provide high and ...
