M-anomaly Analyses and its implications for the architecture of the upper oceanic crust
(2010-07-14)
My dissertation research consists of two themes: (a) the analysis of Middle
Jurassic - Early Cretaceous marine magnetic anomalies (M-anomalies) in order to
construct a comprehensive geomagnetic polarity timescale and (b) ...
Using Ungulate Occupancy to Evaluate a Biosphere Reserve Design in Tambopata, Peru
(2010-10-12)
Conservation areas in tropical forests protect the most diverse and threatened ecosystems on the planet. In the Amazon, ungulates are important to forest structure and diversity, but are also food for rural people. I ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL MARGIN OBSERVATION AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (CMOAS) TO CAPTURE THE EPISODIC EVENTS IN A SHALLOW BAY
(2010-07-14)
Corpus Christi Bay (TX, USA) is a shallow wind-driven bay which is designated
as a National Estuary due to its impact on the economy. But this bay experiences
periodic hypoxia (dissolved oxygen <2 mg/l) which threatens ...
The Safe Storage Study for Autocatalytic Reactive Chemicals
(2010-10-12)
In the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) report,
Improving Reactive Hazard Management, there are 37 out of 167 accidents, which
occurred in a storage tank or a storage area. This fact demonstrates ...
Development of equations to determine the increase in pavement condition due to treatment and the rate of decrease in condition after treatment for a local agency pavement network.
(2010-07-14)
Cost effective maintenance of pavement sections requires timely preventive maintenance
and planned rehabilitation treatments. Knowledge of the increase in condition due to
application of treatment and the loss of condition ...
Integration of Micro Patterning Techniques into Volatile Functional Materials and Advanced Devices
(2010-07-14)
Novel micro patterning techniques have been developed for the patterning of
volatile functional materials which cannot be conducted by conventional
photolithography. First, in order to create micro patterns of volatile ...
A Technical and Economic Study of Completion Techniques In Five Emerging U.S. Gas Shale Plays
(2010-07-14)
methane and other higher order hydrocarbons, through C4, with interest in further
developing reactions important to methane- and ethane-related chemistry.
With the increased demand for energy and the declining conventional ...
Numerical Simulation of the Flow of a Power Law Fluid in an Elbow Bend
(2010-07-14)
A numerical study of flow of power law fluid in an elbow bend has been carried out. The motivation behind this study is to analyze the velocity profiles, especially the pattern of the secondary flow of power law fluid in ...
Meteorological Factors Regulating the Population Expansion and Contraction of Amblyomma maculatum (Acari: Ixodidae) in Texas
(2010-10-12)
The interaction of tick species and the microclimate that they inhabit is a subject that is frequently studied. The known biology of the Gulf Coast tick, Amblyomma maculatum Koch (Acari: Ixodidae), was used to conduct ...
Dynamics of Wave Breaking at a Coastal Sea Wall
(2010-07-14)
Structural designs barely consider the dynamic scenario of a well-developed
impinging wave hitting the structure. The usual area of focus is on static and stability
factors (e.g. drag, inertia, resistive forces related to ...
