(2015-10-28)St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze) performance under conservation irrigation is poorly described. Further, the effect of summer drought stress on the lawn ecosystem could have unforeseen implications ...
-
(2013-04-23)Harrington Sound, located in east central Bermuda, is almost entirely enclosed by land except for a 26.4 m wide channel called Flatts Inlet. This limited connection to the open ocean restricts Harrington Sound’s tides, ...

Hydrology and Larval Fish Dynamics in Texas Rivers: Science to Evaluate Environmental Flow Standards (2015-07-17)Given increasing human demands for freshwater, it is imperative to identify environmental flows that maintain native species, their habitats, and key ecosystem dynamics. A major challenge is determining requirements for ...
-
(2014-12-15)Swales in wetland complexes can provide evidence of hydrologic connectivity for wetlands on the Texas Gulf Coast, supporting the idea that many coastal wetlands in Texas are vitally connected to navigable waters covered ...
-
(2012-07-09)Technologies such as horizontal wells and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing have made ultra-low permeability shale and tight gas reservoirs productive but the industry is still on the learning curve when it comes to addressing ...
-
(2017-04-28)Rigorous hydromechanical frameworks needed for modeling wellbore bridging and broaching during uncontrolled production of oil and gas are developed in this work. First, two sources of sand production are identified: borehole ...
-
(2017-12-09)Hydrozoa (phylum Cnidaria) is one of the most diverse and widespread classes of gelatinous zooplankton. They are understudied because they are often inconspicuous and overlooked in many planktonic studies. Due to their ...
-
(2016-08-04)Three-dimensional soft structures are difficult to fabricate without any supporting materials in additive manufacturing due to their extremely low stiffness against gravity. This study presents the feasibility of a conceptual ...
-
(2020-07-08)Ion conducting polymers are key components in fuel cells, e.g., as solid-state electrolyte membrane separators and ionomers in electrodes. In this study, a series of novel poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) homopolymers and block ...
-
(2009-05-15)Isoprene is the dominant non-methane organic compound emitted by vegetation into the atmosphere, with a global emission rate of ~ 500 Tg yr-1. Its oxidation serves as a major source of ground level ozone in North America ...
-
(2013-12-02)In vitro fertilization does not occur readily in the horse. Recent evidence suggests that this is due to failure to initiate hyperactivated motility in vitro; however, little is known about the induction of hyperactivated ...
-
(2020-07-10)In this dissertation, we study algebraic relations among periods, quasi-periods, logarithms and quasi-logarithms of Drinfeld modules. This work is motivated by the Tannakian theory for t-motives especially the function ...
-
(2009-05-15)The theory of hypergeometric functions over finite fields was developed in the mid- 1980s by Greene. Since that time, connections between these functions and elliptic curves and modular forms have been investigated by ...
-
(2010-07-14)Classical hypergeometric functions and their relations to counting points on curves over finite fields have been investigated by mathematicians since the beginnings of 1900. In the mid 1980s, John Greene developed the ...
-
(2014-04-17)The effects of surface roughness on boundary-layer disturbance growth and laminar-to-turbulent transition are not well understood, especially in hypersonic boundary layers. The transient growth mechanism that produces ...
-
(2009-05-15)There has been a continuous effort to unveil the physics of hypersonic flows both experimentally and numerically, in order to achieve an efficient hypersonic vehicle design. With the advent of the high speed computers, a ...
-
(2010-01-14)The surface-level experience of hypertextuality as formless and unbounded, blurring boundaries among texts and between readers and writers, is created by a deep structure which is not normally presented to readers and ...
-
(2014-04-25)Mass spectrometry (MS) has been established as important analytical tool in the characterization of an array of analyte classes, including biological samples. However, without hyphenation with other techniques, the approach ...
-
(2015-12-16)Follet’s Island is a sand starved barrier island along the Northern coast of Texas. Human interaction has provided this island with an extended history of erosion, with some estimates having the island be completely eroded ...
-
(2009-05-15)In this qualitative study, I explore the impact of national culture on the gender identity of Serbian women with hysterectomies, with special emphasis on traditional motherhood discourse and its implications for women who ...
