Modeling of Seismic Signatures of Carbonate Rock Types
(2011-02-22)
Carbonate reservoirs of different rock types have wide ranges of porosity and
permeability, creating zones with different reservoir quality and flow properties. This
research addresses how seismic technology can be used ...
Time-dependent release of iron from soot particles by acid extraction and the reduction of fe3+ by elemental carbon
(2009-05-15)
Elemental carbon reduces Fe3+ to Fe2+ in aqueous solutions. This process has
potential implications in the adverse health effects of fine particles in air pollution,
because both elemental carbon and iron are major components ...
A new polyhedral approach to combinatorial designs
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
We consider combinatorial t-design problems as discrete optimization problems. Our motivation is that only a few studies have been done on the use of exact optimization techniques in designs, and that classical methods in ...
Tracing Paleoclimate over the Past 25,000 Years Using Evidence from Radiogenic Isotopes
(2013-04-30)
The objective of this dissertation is to apply radiogenic isotopes extracted from marine sediments to investigate aspects of global climate change over the past 25 kyr, especially ocean and atmospheric circulation, continental ...
Neural networks predict well inflow performance
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Predicting well inflow performance relationship accurately is very important for production engineers. From these predictions, future plans for handling and improving well performance can be established. One method of ...
Guaranteed Verification of Finite Element Solutions of Heat Conduction
(2012-07-16)
This dissertation addresses the accuracy of a-posteriori error estimators for finite element solutions of problems with high orthotropy especially for cases where rather
coarse meshes are used, which are often encountered ...
Higher-Order Spectral/HP Finite Element Technology for Structures and Fluid Flows
(2013-06-20)
This study deals with the use of high-order spectral/hp approximation functions in the finite element models of various nonlinear boundary-value and initial-value problems arising in the fields of structural mechanics and ...
Who counts? how the state (re)creates households
(2009-05-15)
Prior research focused upon the intersection of race, ethnicity, citizenship and identity produced as a result of the Census Schedule. In this dissertation, I focus on the Census, as an instrument of the state, to capture ...
Urban growth pattern and sustainable development: a comparative study of municipalities in the Seoul Metropolitan Region
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The main purpose of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the impact
of urban growth and change on sustainability based on a comparative study of
municipalities comprising Gyeonggi Province within the Seoul ...
Charge Transport and Directed Assembly of Nano-confined Porphyrin Molecules on Surfaces: Towards Molecular and Organic Electronics
(2016-10-11)
Presently, the aim of molecular/organic electronics is to incorporate organic materials into conventional silicon-based devices and complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology to expand the functionality of ...
