Gas condensate damage in hydraulically fractured wells
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This project is a research into the effect of gas condensate damage in hydraulically fractured wells. It is the result of a problem encountered in producing a low permeability formation from a well in South Texas owned ...
Single-ultrafine-particle mass spectrometer development and application
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
A single-ultrafine-particle mass spectrometer was constructed and deployed for size-resolved ultrafine aerosol composition measurements during the winter of 2002-2003 in College Station, Texas. Three separate experiments ...
Video sculpture:spatio-temporal warping
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
In this thesis the concept behind our notion of video sculpture is to imagine an image sequence or movie as a three dimensional volume. We then also imagine that there is a frameset that traverses the image sequence to ...
"The shame of our community": authors' views of prostitutes in late eighteenth century England
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
This thesis attempts to identify authors' attitudes toward late eighteenth century London prostitutes. Through the examination of several selected sources, one can isolate feelings that eighteenth century writers had about ...
White food-type sorghum in direct-expansion extrusion applications
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Whole sorghum kernels were directly processed into whole grain snacks with acceptable texture. Extrudates made from whole sorghum had a harder gritty texture than those made from decorticated materials. Extrusion of whole ...
Analysis of transmission system faults in the phase domain
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In order to maintain a continuous power suppply, nowadays relays in transmission systems are required to be able to deal with complicated faults involving non-conventional connections, which poses a challenge to the short ...
Benchmarking value in the pork supply chain: quantitative strategies and opportunities to improve quality in ham and belly processing
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Fresh bone-in hams were sorted into "high pH" (5.6 or greater) and "low pH" (5.5 or less) groups and processed into spiral sliced, bone-in hams. Randomly selected hams from each group were evaluated for objective color ...
Quantification of uncertainty during history matching
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This study proposes a new, easily applied method to quantify uncertainty in
production forecasts based on reservoir simulation. The new method uses only observed
data and mismatches between simulated values and observed ...
Relationship between suspicious coincidence in natural images and contour-salience in oriented filter responses
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Salient contour detection is an important lowlevel visual process in the human visual system, and has significance towards understanding higher visual and cognitive processes. Salience detection can be investigated by ...
The effects of bicuculline on cocaine self-administration in male rats developmentally exposed to lead
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Rationale: Lead-exposure during developmental periods may alter reinforcing patterns of drugs of abuse in adulthood. Anxiety related mechanisms may also influence drug intake. Interactions between the two altering factors ...
