Microstructures and Rheology of a Limestone-Shale Thrust Fault
(2011-02-22)
The Copper Creek thrust fault in the southern Appalachians places Cambrian
over Ordovician sedimentary strata. The fault accommodated displacement of 15-20 km
at 100-180 °C. Along the hanging wall-footwall contact, ...
Universal Design Rules from Product Pairs and Association Rule Based Learning
(2010-07-14)
A product pair is two products with similar functionality that satisfy the same
high level need but are different by design. The goal of this research is to apply
association rule-based learning to product pairs and develop ...
Video Installation Design: Appropriation and Assemblage As Projection Surface Geometry
(2010-07-14)
This area of research focuses on the use of video projections in the context of fine art. Emphasis is placed on creating a unique video installation work that incorporates assemblage and appropriation as a means to develop ...
Experimental and Theoretical Study of Surfactant-Based Acid Diverting Materials
(2011-02-22)
The purpose of matrix stimulation in carbonate reservoirs is to bypass damaged zones and increase the effective wellbore area. This can be achieved by creating highly conductive flow channels known as wormholes. A further ...
Estimation of Parameters for Gaussian Random Variables using Robust Differential Geometric Techniques
(2010-01-16)
Most signal processing systems today need to estimate parameters of the underlying
probability distribution, however quantifying the robustness of this system has
always been difficult. This thesis attempts to quantify the ...
Measuring Morality: Moral Frameworks in Videogames

A PROTEOMIC STUDY OF OXIDATIVE STRESS IN ALCOHOLIC LIVER DISEASE
(2010-01-16)
Alcoholic steatosis (AS) is the initial pathology associated with early stage alcoholic liver disease and is characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver. AS is considered clinically benign as it is reversible, ...
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS USING SEQUENTIAL DETECTION IN A SERIAL MULTI-HOP WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK
(2010-01-16)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been developed for a variety of appli-
cations such as battle�eld surveillance, environment monitoring, health care and so
on. For such applications, the design of WSN has been limited ...
