A simulation study to verify Stone's simultaneous water and gas injection performance in a 5-spot pattern
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Water alternating gas (WAG) injection is a proven technique to enhance oil
recovery. It has been successfully implemented in the field since 1957 with recovery
increase in the range of 5-10% of oil-initially-in-place ...
A shader based adaptation of selected sixteenth century maps
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This research develops a technique focused on shading and texturing, with an emphasis on line work and color, to emulate the unique qualities of copperplate line-engraving from 16th century cartography. A visual analysis ...
Whispering gallery modes in quantum dot-embedded dielectric microspheres for tagless remote refractometric sensing
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This thesis presents the development of a refractometric sensor based on
quantum dot-embedded polystyrene microspheres. The technique uses optical
resonances within a microsphere, known as Whispering-Gallery Modes (WGMs), ...
Model minority mothering: biculturalism in action
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This thesis traces the immigration of "model minority" mothers: Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean, from their home countries to the United States. It examines the
reasons women immigrate to the United States, the situations ...
Vegetative covers for sediment control and phosphorus sequestration from dairy waste application fields
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Excessive phosphorus (P) in runoff contributes to eutrophication of fresh water
bodies. Studies have shown that manure and effluent applied from animal feeding
operations to waste application fields (WAFs) have contributed ...
The frequency of tropopause-level thick and thin cirrus clouds as observed by CALIPSO and the relationship to relative humidity and outgoing longwave radiation
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Thin cirrus clouds play an important radiative role in the earth's atmosphere and
climate system, yet are one of the least understood components of the climate system.
With the use of data from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and ...
Progesterone and interferon tau regulated genes in the endometrium of the ovine uterus and expression of interferon stimulated genes in the corpus luteum during early pregnancy in sheep
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
During early pregnancy in ruminants, progesterone (P4) from the corpus
luteum (CL) and interferon tau (IFNT) from the conceptus act on the
endometrium to regulate genes including interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) that
are ...
The role of matriarchies and patriarchies in social evolution vis-à-vis Bachofen and his influence on the social sciences
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Johan Jakob Bachofen (1815-1887) was a Swiss anthropologist and sociologist
whose 1861 book, Mother Right: An Investigation of the Religious and Juridical
Character of Matriarchy in the Ancient World is best known for ...
A web-based approach to image-based lighting using high dynamic range images and QuickTime object virtual reality
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This thesis presents a web-based approach to lighting three-dimensional
geometry in a virtual scene. The use of High Dynamic Range (HDR) images for the
lighting model makes it possible to convey a greater sense of ...
Investigation of the deformed fermi surfaces mechanism for pairing of two species of fermions with mismatched fermi surfaces
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Variational method is used to investigate, at zero temperature, the deformed-
Fermi-surfaces mechanism for solving the problem of superconducting pairing of two
species of fermions (i.e., spin-up and -down) of mismatched ...
