Beyond scientific research: tracing the contributions Ernest Rutherford made to the next generation of scientists
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Before his death in 1937, Ernest Rutherford discovered the rate of radioactive decay of
atoms. In 1911 he proposed the nuclear structure of the atom, and in 1919 he
successfully split the nucleus of an atom. Rutherford ...
Electrochemical deposition of green rust on zero-valent iron
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Perchloroethylene (PCE) is a toxic contaminant that has been introduced into the environment over many years through industrial and agricultural wastes. Research has been done in the past to investigate PCE degradation by ...
Population genetics of the pecan weevil, Curculio caryae Horn (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), inferred from mitochondrial nucleotide data
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The pecan weevil, Curculio caryae Horn, is an obligate nut feeder of all North American hickory
(Carya) and a key pest of the pecan, C. illinoinensis Koch. This study investigated population
structure of the pecan weevil. ...
Western Empire: the deep water wreck of a mid-nineteenth century wooden sailing ship
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This study of Western Empire is split into two distinct parts: (1) historical research of the
life of the vessel, relying on primary documents; and (2) analysis of the deep water
survey data. The first part concentrates ...
Selection of best drilling, completion and stimulation method for coalbed methane reservoirs
(2009-05-15)
Over the past three decades, coalbed methane (CBM) has moved from a mining
hazard and novel unconventional resource to an important fossil fuel that
accounts for approximately 10% of the U.S. natural gas production and ...
A micromechanics based ductile damage model for anisotropic titanium alloys
(2009-05-15)
The hot-workability of Titanium (Ti) alloys is of current interest to the aerospace
industry due to its widespread application in the design of strong and light-weight
aircraft structural components and engine parts. ...
Evaluation of the effects of a highway improvement project on Key deer
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) along a 5.6-km segment of United States Highway 1 (US 1) on Big Pine Key (BPK), Florida responsible for approximately 26% of endangered Florida Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium) annual ...
38-kHz ADCP investigation of deep scattering layers in sperm whale habitat in the northern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
A hull-mounted 38-kHz phased-array acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) was used to acoustically survey the continental margin of the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) during 6 cruises in 2002-2003. This is the first ...
Gas condensate damage in hydraulically fractured wells
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
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 by ...
Imbibition assisted oil recovery
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Imbibition describes the rate of mass transfer between the rock and the fractures. Therefore, understanding the imbibition process and the key parameters that control the imbibition process is crucial. Capillary imbibition ...
