Particle Size Distribution of Gypseous Samples
(2010-01-16)
Particle size distribution (PSD) of gypseous soils is important in the soil science community. When gypsum constitutes a major portion of the soil, its removal prior to PSD analysis distorts the results and may lead to ...
Using Decline Map Anlaysis (DMA) to Test Well Completion Influence on Gas Production Decline Curves in Barnett Shale (Denton, Wise, and Tarrant Counties)
(2010-01-14)
The increasing interest and focus on unconventional reservoirs is a result of the
industry's direction toward exploring alternative energy sources. It is due to the fact that
conventional reservoirs are being depleted at ...
Rotational-Vibrational Raman Spectroscopy for Measurements of Thermochemistry in Non-isobaric Environments
(2010-01-14)
The present work examines line measurements of pressure, temperature, and
density in high speed, non-isobaric flows emanating from an underexpanded jet nozzle.
Line images of rotational and vibrational Raman spectra are ...
Occupant Evaluation of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certified Health Centers
(2010-01-14)
Globally, concern for natural resource depletion is growing. The healthcare industry is
looking to improve healthcare environments by improving design and using better
resources. The U.S. Green Building Council has created ...
An Advisory System For Selecting Drilling Technologies and Methods in Tight Gas Reservoirs
(2010-01-16)
The supply and demand situation is crucial for the oil and gas industry during the first half of the 21st century. For the future, we will see two trends going in opposite directions: a decline in discoveries of conventional ...
Environmental and Microbiological Characteristics of Managed Urban Turfgrass Systems
(2010-01-16)
A two-year study was conducted in which soil solution, drainage water, and soil
core samples were taken from three turfgrass test plots and two sports fields, located on
the Texas A&M University campus. The goal was to ...
Experimental Study of In Situ Combustion with Tetralin and Metallic Catalysts
(2010-01-16)
Experimental studies showed the feasibility of adding metallic catalysts and
tetralin for the upgrade and increased recovery of heavy oil during the in situ combustion
process. Further experimental studies also showed the ...
Effects of Check-In/Check-Out (CICO) Procedures on Special Education Students
(2010-01-14)
Several research studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of check-in/
check-out (CICO) procedures in behavior education programs (BEPs). However,
little research has been conducted on implementing CICO procedures ...
Transitions in Medieval Mediterranean Shipbuilding: A Reconstruction of the Nave Quadra of the Michael of Rhodes Manuscript
(2010-01-14)
The subject of shipbuilding in the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages is an integral
aspect of the maritime history of this region. Characterized primarily by a fundamental
shift in shipbuilding techniques, this phase ...
Tenderness of Bos indicus influenced cattle as impacted by anabolic implants and gender
(2010-01-16)
Steers (n = 77) and heifers (n = 68) were assigned randomly to one of three
treatment groups. Treatment groups were defined as: no implant, implanted twice with
trenbolone acetate (Revalor S or H), or implanted twice with ...
