A STUDY ON SPHERICAL EXPANDING FLAME SPEEDS OF METHANE, ETHANE, AND METHANE/ETHANE MIXTURES AT ELEVATED PRESSURES
(2010-07-14)
High-pressure experiments and chemical kinetics modeling were performed for laminar spherically expanding flames for methane/air, ethane/air, methane/ethane/air and propane/air mixtures at pressures between 1 and 10 atm ...
Critical Environmentalism - Towards an Epistemic Framework for Architecture
(2010-01-16)
Upon identifying the multifaceted and disparate array of ever-changing
environmental informants to architectural discourse, one is confronted with how to unite
this dialogue in meaningful ways to current modes of thought ...
Robust and Scalable Sampling Algorithms for Network Measurement
(2010-10-12)
Recent growth of the Internet in both scale and complexity has imposed a number of difficult challenges on existing measurement techniques and approaches, which
are essential for both network management and many ongoing ...
Romantic Science: Science and Romance as Literary Modes in Sir Kenelm Digby's Loose Fantasies and Two Treatises
(2010-07-14)
This thesis argues that 17th century polymath Sir Kenelm Digby treats his
scientific discourses as psychological romances in his works Loose Fantasies and Two
Treatises, with his use of courtly romantic tropes, and that ...
THE INFLUENCE OF WATER ON THE DEGRADATION AND WEAR OF AL2O3 SURFACES
(2010-01-16)
As alumina plays ever more important roles in advanced technologies, such as
substrates for in vivo biological sensors, catalysts for water purification and components
of novel fuel devices, it is exposed to various ...
Laboratory Analysis of Vortex Dynamics For Shallow Tidal Inlets
(2010-10-12)
Estuaries depend on the transport of nutrients and sediments from the open sea
to help maintain a prosperous environment. One of the major transport mechanisms
is the propagation of large two dimensional vortical structures. ...

(2010-10-12)
This dissertation is a palynological examination of the Mayan archaeological site at Blue Creek, northwestern Belize. This study uncovers more than 4,500 years of environmental and agricultural history of the region, which ...
Experimental investigation of caustic steam injection for heavy oils
(2010-01-16)
An experimental study has been conducted to compare the effect of steam injection and caustic steam injection in improving the recovery of San Ardo and Duri heavy oils. A 67 cm long x 7.4 cm O.D (outer diameter), steel ...
Modeling of Multiphase Flow in the Near-Wellbore Region of the Reservoir under Transient Conditions
(2010-07-14)
In oil and gas field operations, the dynamic interactions between reservoir and wellbore cannot be ignored, especially during transient flow in the near-wellbore region. As gas hydrocarbons are produced from underground ...
The Seismic Stratigraphy and Sedimentation along the Ninetyeast Ridge
(2010-10-12)
The Ninetyeast Ridge (NER) is a ~5000 km-long aseismic volcanic ridge trending NS
in the eastern Indian Ocean basin. It is widely accepted that NER formed from the trace of
a single hotspot as the Indian plate moved ...
