Evaluation of multistage triaxial testing on Berea sandstone
(2004)
Conventional methods for obtaining failure envelopes require testing multiple samples, a luxury not enjoyed when dealing with core recovered from boreholes. Consequently, a multistage test performed on a single plug is ...
School initiatives as means for teachers' inquiries and considerations of changes toward their own instructional practices.
(2004)
A naturalistic research method, phenomenology, permitted this researcher to examine the perspectives of these five participants. The qualitative nature of the study provided a forum to gather participant data. Through ...
Polymer electrolyte conductivity and the Vogel equation.
(2004)
The frequency-dependent conductivity of an amorphous polymer electrolyte is examined. It is shown that the frequency-dependent conductivity of polymer electrolytes exhibit many of the same properties as ion conducting ...
An analysis of meaning, malaise, mattering and marginality and their relationship to discretionary effort among regional university staff employees.
(2004)
Recommendations for administrators and other practitioners included: increase the awareness of the various perceptions of the university that different groups hold; provide opportunities for staff to be involved in the ...
A performance history of John Dryden and Henry Purcell's "King Arthur".
(2004)
Primary source documents considered in this study are Dryden's text published in 1691 and reprinted in 1695, and several manuscript scores by Purcell dating from the 1690's and very early 1700's. Additionally, a notated ...
Wrinkling of Composite-facing Sandwich Panels Under Biaxial Loading
(Journal of Sandwich Structures and Materials, 2004-05-01)
The problem of face wrinkling in sandwich structures was identified as an important failure mode and first analyzed in 1940 by Gough et al. [1], who used a Winkler-type elastic foundation to model the core. This work was ...
Correlation of Atoka and adjacent strata within a sequence stratigraphic framework, Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma.
(2004)
The Atoka Formation in the Arkoma Basin represents the thickest stratigraphic interval. The purpose of this study is to delineate the stratigraphy of this formation in the entire Arkoma Basin in Oklahoma, using detailed ...
Elemental and stable carbon isotope chemostratigraphy of the Upper Jurassic Smackover sequence of southwest Alabama basins, Alabama, United States.
(2004)
The sequence stratigraphy of the Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) Smackover marine carbonate sequence was investigated from a chemostratigraphic analysis of samples of the Conecuh Embayment and the Manila Embayment of southwest ...
Chemoporoelastic solution of transversely isotropic saturated porous media.
(2004)
The solution is closed-form in the Laplace domain; and is then inverted to the time domain by using Stehfest's (1970) algorithm. This solution simulates the chemoporoelastic process triggered by drilling a borehole in ...
Sand thickness estimation using spectral decomposition
(2004)
Spectral decomposition of seismic data has been used to identify thin beds and other possible changes subsurface sand layers. Spectral decomposition can be used as a tool for estimating bed thickness. This thesis uses a ...
