The analysis and interpretation of water-oil-ratio performance in petroleum reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Our goal in this work is to develop and validate a multivariate relation for the behavior of the water-oil-ratio (WOR) and/or water cut (f[]) functions, where this relation would incorporate the reservoir and fluid properties ...
A bulk-flow model of angled injection Lomakin bearings
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A bulk-flow model for determination of the leakage and dynamic force characteristics of angled injection Lomakin bearings is presented. Zeroth- and first-order equations describe the equilibrium flow for a centered bearing ...
Communicating about feminism and implementing feminist practices in research methodology
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This research project is an interdisciplinary study, intersecting the humanities with the social sciences and incorporating aspects of discourse analysis, sociology, and women's studies into a unified project. The study ...
Performance based evaluation of the seismic resistance of structures with concrete diaphragms
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Under seismic loading, floor and roof systems in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings act as diaphragms to transfer earthquake loads to the vertical lateral force resisting system (LFRS). In current practice, horizontal ...
Reconstructing the past: architectural analysis of communal structures at the NAN Ranch ruin (LA2465), Grant County, New Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Eleven seasons of field work at the NAN Ranch ruin (LA 2465), a multicomponent Mimbres site in Grant County, New Mexico, have allowed researchers to reconstruct a detailed sequence of architectural development stretching ...
Optimal command generation for maneuvering the space station
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objective of this research is to obtain near minimum-fuel and minimum-time maneuver commands for large-angle maneuvers for the international space station. Attitude and angular velocity waypoints are generated using ...
Experimental investigation of the condensation phenomenon in micro-grooved plates
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The addition of micro-grooves to a condensing surface has been proposed with the aim of reducing the film thickness so that the condensation heat transfer coefficient is increased. Micro-grooves promote the removal of ...
Evaluation of whole cottonseed consumption on growth and reproductive function in male cervids
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Twenty-four fallow bucks were randomly allotted by body weight, body condition score and age to one of two treatment groups: control (C; 4:1 corn:soybean meal) and whole cottonseed (WCS; 1.14% free gossypol), to evaluate ...
The holy light: a study of natural light in Hindu temples in the southern region of Tamilnadu, India (7th century AD to 17th century AD)
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis discusses the phenomenon of natural light that becomes the holy light in sacred architecture. In pursuing this investigation the study addressed three major objectives. First, to understand the significance of ...
Factors that influence exercise participation amoung older adults
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The purpose of this study was to survey adults age 60 and older to measure their levels of exercise self-efficacy, attitudes toward exercise and health, and perceived exercise control beliefs. Participants also defined ...
