Analysis of periodically-forced turbulence in the rapid distortion limit
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Rapid Distortion Theory is used to perform calculations of unsteadily-forced initially
isotropic turbulence so that the physics of such flows can be better understood. The
results of these calculations show that there are ...
Effects of carbon dioxide injection on the displacement of methane and carbonate dissolution in sandstone cores
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Previous coreflood experiments show that CO2 sequestration in carbonate rocks
is a win-win technology. Injecting CO2 into a depleted gas reservoir for storage also
produces hitherto unrecoverable gas. This in turn helps ...
A top-injection bottom-production cyclic steam stimulation method for enhanced heavy oil recovery
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
A novel method to enhance oil production during cyclic steam injection has been
developed. In the Top-Injection and Bottom-Production (TINBOP) method, the well
contains two strings separated by two packers (a dual and a ...
Study of the utilization and benefits of phasor measurement units for large scale power system state estimation
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This thesis will investigate the impact of the use of the Phasor Measurement Units
(PMU) on the state estimation problem. First, incorporation of the PMU measurements in a
conventional state estimation program will be ...
Benefits and constraints associated with the use of an urban park reproted by the elderly in Hong Kong
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The purpose of this study was to identify benefits and constraints associated with
the use of urban parks by a sample of elderly in Hong Kong. Before studying these topics,
self-perception of aging of the elderly in Hong ...
Increased fat oxidation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes through forced expression of UCP 1
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Obesity is a chronic condition that primarily develops from an
increase in body fat in the form of white adipose tissue (WAT) mass. The
resulting adiposity is a risk factor for many diseases, including type 2
diabetes ...
Facies architecture of the Upper Sego member of the Mancos Shale Formation, Book Cliffs, Utah
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The Late Cretaceous upper Sego Member of the Mancos Shale exposed in the Book
Cliffs of east-central Utah is a 30 m thick sandstone wedge that overlies the Anchor
Mine Tongue of the Mancos Shale and underlies coastal plain ...
In the wake of the attack on 'Rajiv' on June 1, 2005: perceptions of international graduate student non-native English speakers on violence and racism at Texas A&M University
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
In this thesis, results of an online survey and focus group interview sessions
comprised of a total of 21 International Graduate Student Non-Native English Speakers
(IGSNNES) at Texas A&M (TAMU) are summarized. IGSNNESs ...
Projecting net incomes for Texas crop producers: an application of probabilistic forecasting
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Agricultural policy changes directly affect the economic viability of Texas crop
producers because government payments make up a significant portion of their net farm
income (NFI). NFI projections benefit producers, ...
