(2010-07-14)
For photographers to capture good pictures of their subjects, the lighting conditions must be taken into account and adjusted for accordingly. The same holds true
for a satellite attempting to photograph another object in ...
The Investigation on Fibrous Veins and Their Host from Mt. Ida, Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
I have studied syntectonic veins from shales and coarse calcareous sands of the Ordovician Womble Shale, Benton uplift, Arkansas. All veins are composed of calcite with minor quartz and trace feldspar and dolomite or high-Mg ...
Experiments Concerning the Mold Materials Used in the Production of the Copper Ingots from the Late Bronze Age Shipwreck Excavated at Uluburun, Turkey
(2010-01-14)
Underwater excavations of a Late Bronze Age shipwreck at Uluburun, Turkey
recovered a combined 475 oxhide and plano-convex discoid copper ingots. While the

Acid placement and coverage in the acid jetting process
(2009-05-15)
Many open-hole acid treatments are being conducted by pumping acid through jetting ports placed at the end of coiled tubing or drill pipe. The filter-cake on the bore-hole is broken by the jet; the acid-soluble material ...

Friction Factor Measurement, Analysis, and Modeling for Flat-Plates with 12.15 mm Diameter Hole-Pattern, Tested with Air at Different Clearances, Inlet Pressures, and Pressure Ratios
(2011-02-22)
Friction factor data are important for better prediction of leakage and rotordynamic coefficients of gas annular seals. A flat-plate test rig is used to determine friction factor of hole-pattern/honeycomb flat-plate surfaces ...
Lagrangian methods for climatological analysis of regional atmospheric transport with an emphasis on Texas ozone exceedances
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
A quantitative climatology of atmospheric transport in Texas is developed using previously
described Lagrangian trajectory methods (Rogers and Bowman, 2001; Bowman
and Carrie, 2002). The trajectories are computed using ...
