Managed pressure drilling techniques and tools
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The economics of drilling offshore wells is important as we drill more wells
in deeper water. Drilling-related problems, including stuck pipe, lost circulation,
and excessive mud cost, show the need for better drilling ...
High temperature oxidation and NaCl-induced accelerated corrosion of hot-dip aluminized 9Cr-1Mo and 310 stainless steel
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The behaviors of high temperature corrosion on hot-dip aluminized on 9Cr-1Mo and 310 stainless steels when catalyzed by NaCl and cyclic heating environment were studied experimentally. The corrosion behavior and morphological ...
Characterization of ammonia emissions from ground level area sources at central texas dairies
(2009-05-15)
There is a need for a robust and accurate technique to measure ammonia (NH3)
emissions from animal feeding operations (AFOs) to obtain emission inventories and to
develop abatement strategies. Seasonal studies were conducted ...
Empirical modeling and simulation of edgewater cusping and coning
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In many cases, it is important to predict water production performance of oil
wells early in, or maybe before, their production life. In as much as oil field water is
important for pressure maintenance purposes and ...
Evolution of the Galapagos Rise and the Bauer Microplate: implications for the Nazca plate
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Analysis of the satellite altimetry based predicted bathymetry, magnetic anomalies, and earthquake seismic data relating to the geophysical structure on the Nazca plate indicates that the Galapagos Rise system served as ...
Two higher order elasticity theories: their variational formulations and applications
(2009-05-15)
Classical elasticity cannot be used to explain effects related to material
microstructures due to its lack of a material length scale parameter. To mitigate this
deficiency, higher order elasticity theories have been ...
Real-time impluse-based rigid body simulation and rendering
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop and demonstrate a physically based rigid
body simulation with a focus on simplifications to achieve real-time performance.
This thesis aims to demonstrate that by improving the ...
Assessment of uranium-free nitride fuels for spent fuel transmutation in fast reactor systems
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The purpose of this work is to investigate the implementation of nitride fuels containing little or no uranium in a fast-spectrum nuclear reactor to reduce the amount of plutonium and minor actinides in spent nuclear fuel ...
Historic building documentation in the united states, 1933-2000: the historic american buildings survey, a case study
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The objective of the study was to gain new insight into archival building documentation
in the United States since 1933 focusing on Historic American Buildings Survey
(HABS) as a case study. It sought to help explain how ...
Common messenger molecules and cell types demonstrating neuroendocrine-immune interactions in the chicken
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The aim of this study was to identify common messenger molecules used in both
the immune and the neuroendocrine systems in birds, and to shed light on a cell type
within the bursa of Fabricius that has historically been ...
