Genetic pore typing as a means of characterizing reservoir flow units: san andres, sunflower field, terry country, texas
(2009-05-15)
Carbonate reservoirs are characteristically heterogeneous in reservoir quality and
performance owing to the variety of processes that influence pore formation.
Additionally, porosity and permeability do not conform to ...
Topics in two-dimensional systems with spin-orbit interaction
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation focuses on the study of spin-dependent transport in systems
with strong spin-orbit coupling within their band structure. In particular we focus
on the anomalous Hall effect, the spin Hall effect, and the ...
Quality analysis of the aggregate imaging system (AIMS)
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Coarse and fine aggregates form the skeleton of any type of pavement and influence the
performance of the pavement structure. Characterization of the physical characteristics
(shape, angularity, and texture) of coarse and ...
Advances in diapriid (Hymenoptera: diapriidae) systematics, with contributions to cybertaxonomy and the analysis of rRNA sequence data
(2009-05-15)
Diapriids (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) are small parasitic wasps. Though found
throughout the world they are relatively unknown. A framework for advancing diapriid
systematics is developed by introducing a new web-based ...
Magnetic field-induced phase transformation and variant reorientation in Ni2MnGa and NiMnCoIn magnetic shape memory alloys
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this work is to reveal the governing mechanisms responsible for the magnetic field-induced i) martensite reorientation in Ni2MnGa single crystals, ii) stress-assisted phase transformation in Ni2MnGa single ...
Analyzing video compression for transporting over wireless fading channels
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Wireless video communication is becoming increasingly popular these days with new
applications such as TV on mobile and video phones. Commercial success of these
applications requires superior video quality at the receiver. ...
Potential impacts of vertical cable seismic: modeling, resolution and multiple attenuation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Vertical cable seismic methods are becoming more relevant as we require high quality and high resolution seismic data in both land and marine environments. Our goal in this thesis is to demonstrate the impacts of vertical ...
High accuracy p-rho-t measurements up to 200 MPa between 200 K and 500 K using a compact single sinker magnetic suspension densimeter for pure and natural gas like mixtures
(2009-06-02)
Highly accurate density data is required for engineering calculations to make
property estimations in natural gas custody transfer through pipelines. It is also essential
to have accurate pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) ...
The evolution of LOL, the secondary metabolite gene cluster for insecticidal loline alkaloids in fungal endophytes of grasses.
(2009-05-15)
LOL is a novel secondary metabolite gene cluster associated with the production of loline alkaloids (saturated 1-aminopyrrolizidine alkaloids with an oxygen bridge) exclusively in closely related grass-endophyte species ...
Retrofitting analysis of integrated bio-refineries
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
A bio-refinery is a processing facility that produces liquid transportation fuels
and/or value-added chemicals and other products. Because of the dwindling resources
and escalating prices of fossil fuels, there are emerging ...
