A Model of Global Learning: How Students Change Through International High-Impact Experiences
(2014-12-12)
Study abroad programs are important, increasing, impactful, and influential in agricultural disciplines. Research suggests that students who participate are changed. However, we do not yet have a clear understanding for ...
Geomechanical Development of Fractured Reservoirs During Gas Production
(2013-04-05)
Within fractured reservoirs, such as tight gas reservoir, coupled processes between matrix deformation and fluid flow are very important for predicting reservoir behavior, pore pressure evolution and fracture closure. To ...
A Cyber-Physical Systems Approach to Water Distribution System Monitoring
(2015-12-14)
Water Distribution Systems (WDS) are critical infrastructures of national importance that supply water of desired quality and quantity to consumers. They are prone to damages and attacks such as leaks, breaks, and chemical ...
Output Feedback Control and Optimal Bandwidth Allocation of Networked Control Systems
(2013-04-12)
A networked control system (NCS) is a control system where sensors, actuators, and controllers are interconnected over a communication network. This dissertation presents a framework for modeling, stability analysis, optimal ...
Evaluation of Whole and Lipid-Extracted Algae Meals (LEA) in the Diet of Juvenile Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and Digestibility of LEA by Red Drum and Hybrid Striped Bass (Morone chrysops x Morone saxatilis)
(2013-04-02)
As aquaculture continues to expand, protein sources have become more costly and less available. Simultaneously, lipid-extracted algal meals (LEA) (co-products of bio-diesel production) are becoming increasingly available ...
Tracking Oil from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in Barataria Bay Sediments
(2013-05-03)
In April 2010, approximately 4.9 million barrels of oil were accidentally released into the Gulf of Mexico during the Deepwater Horizon Macondo Mc252 Oil Spill. Some of the surface oil was carried by prevailing winds and ...
A Comparative Study of Dolomite Dissolution in Simple Organic Acids and Chelating Agents
(2013-05-03)
Acid treatments have predominantly been conducted using HCl for its availability, high rock dissolving power and soluble reaction products. At high temperatures, rapid spending of the acid with carbonates prevents deeper ...
Generation and Applications of Structure Envelopes for Metal-Organic Frameworks
(2013-04-18)
Synthesis of polycrystalline, vs. single-crystalline porous materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), is usually beneficial due to shorter synthetic time and higher yields. However, the structural characterization ...
Integrated Algorithms and Multiple Antenna Techniques for Direction of Arrival (DOA) Estimation
(2013-04-25)
In this dissertation, we design and develop a novel direction-of-arrival (DOA) finding system. We investigate the problems of DOA finding using canonical and crystallographic antenna array structures, develop a novel ...
Nonparametric Inference for High Dimensional Data
(2013-04-23)
Learning from data, especially ‘Big Data’, is becoming increasingly popular under names such as Data Mining, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistical Learning and High Dimensional Data Analysis. In this dissertation we ...
