Loads on Tie-Down Systems for Floating Drilling Rigs during Hurricane Conditions
(2010-01-16)
Tie-down systems are used to fasten drilling rigs to the deck of offshore
structures during harsh environmental conditions such as hurricanes. During Hurricane
Ivan (2004) and Katrina (2005), a number of offshore structures ...
Facies Description and Interpretation of the Upper Lower Hickory Sandstone, Riley Formation, Central Texas
(2010-01-16)
Present models suggest that fluvial and marine depositional patterns were distinct
from modern patterns prior to the appearance of land plants. Although these models are
likely correct, problems exist when one attempts to ...

Understanding Churn in Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Networks
(2010-10-12)
This dissertation presents a novel modeling framework for understanding the dynamics
of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks under churn (i.e., random user arrival/departure)
and designing systems more resilient against node failure. ...
